SNYDER Bert Rechichar led the Colts to a 13-to-9 defensive victory over the Chicago Bears in the opening game of the National Football League race at the Stadium yesterday. All Rechichar did was to score 9 of the Colts 13 points with a 36-yard return of a Bear pass. establish a new league record with a 56-yard field goal from placement and in general made ife miserable for the Chicago offense.

Broke Old Record His field goal, the first he has ever tried in pro ball, broke a i4-vard placement kick by Glenn Pressnell, of the Detroit Lions, in 1934. The experts have been saying for a long time that you just can't win in this high scoring league playing defensive ball, but the Colts, with a large assist from Rechichar, did just that. Statistically the Bears had it all over the Colts with 37? yards eained passing and rushing to just 164 for the Baltimore eleven. Small consolation. But when the Bears needed nches they just couldn't get them.

Crowd Of 23,715 A crowd of 23,715 fans roared time after time at the stellar play of the Colt defensive team, which on one occasion stopped a Bear threat inches from the goal. At least two other times the Bears, trying for just inches for a first down, were stalled by the Colt defense. As in last week's game with the Redskins the Colts were always on the ball, intercepting four Bears' passes and recovering a like number of Chicago fumbles. Most of these so called Balti more breaks came at crucial moments and invariably stopped Bear threats. Barney Poole, former Army and Mississippi All-American, also had field day at Chicago expense.

He recovered two fumbles and threw the Bear quarterbacks for long losses several times. Ed Sprinkle, of the Bears. proved again as in the past that be is one of the best defensive ends in the business. He rushed Enke. Colt signal caller, relentlessly and continuously slapped down Colt runners trying to advance around his end for losses.

Quick Start The Bears didn't waste much time in threatening the Colt goal. After forcing George Taliaferro to kick from the Colts' 6. the Bears took over on the Baltimore 44 and marched down to the 20, where on fourth down Bill George's field goal went wide of the uprights. However, three plays later the Bears were back in business when (Continued on Page 20, Co'umnl) Statistics Vnd Lineups Colts Chicago 9 First downa 2" SO Rushing yardage 147 74 Passing yardage 225 20 Passes attempted 34 12 Passes completed 19 a tnrercented 1 9 Punts 5 34 Punting average 3 2 KumDies iosi i 51 Yards penalized 87 Chicago Bears 7 0 0 2 9 COWTS 0 10 0 313 "ChiraSo Scoring: Touchdown Stone Conversion Blanda.
