49ers Snap Chicago Jinx On Record Scoring Pass i Vo4 irvnal Forvlhflll IjAfl'fllH SAN FRANCISCO 49er Coach Red Hickey had predicted, going to do something about the Bears at Wrigley Field." And the San Francisco 49ers did do something at Chicago, although fans were never sure until the end of game whether that something meant victory' or loss. The blow that gave the 49ers a 34-27 victory over the Bears turned out to be an 30- yard pass play from John Brodie to Jimmy Johnson. The win was the first time the 49ers achieved at Wrigley Field since 1957 and the Brodie-Johnson play was the longest scoring pass in 49ers league history-. V. A Tittle and Carroll Hardy pulled off a 78-yard pass play for San Francisco SIDELINES against Detroit in 1955.

Passing alone was only a small part of the story yester- 1 day because losing Chicago passed for 381 yards while vic- i torious San Francisco made only 105 yards in the air. But the 49ers pilled up a total of 194 yards in rushing I against 88 for the Bears to help i avenge 30-14 smash over San Francisco in the I sspi ing game this Stadium. The ball three limes yesterday on fumbles and once on a pass interception. The 49ers made points on all but one of these mistakes. Abe Woodson recovered a fumble by Rick Casares and ran 37 yards for a touchdown.

Another Chicago fumble, by- rookie Ronnie Bull on a kick- year at Kezarjoff return, was scooped up by- Bears lost the Jim Vollenweider on the 24 It set up a one-yard touchdown plunge by J. I). Smith. Earlier in the game, Smith plunged four yards for a touchdown after Jerry Mertens intercepted a pass by Bill Wade on the 27. The scoring story made the shirt-sleeved fans at Wrigley Field even hotter as the Bears mr got Off to a 7-0 lead, then lost while Johnson ran deep down it as the 49ers went ahead, the sidelines with Dave 10-7.

All three now have three wins against two losses. The 49ers will have a few days to rest on their laurels before taking on the Green Bay Packers next weekend at Milwaukee. The Packers now lead the Western Division with five wins and no losses.

By ED RANDOL Bears Show Once Again That It Is Better To Give Than Receive When the San Francisco 49ers outscored the Chicago Bears 34 to 27 yesterday in an old-fashioned thriller, I suppose 1 should have been elated. Instead. all that came to mind was a series of adages and quotations. look a gift horse in the And favors gratefully And helps those who help Well, the Niners helped themselves to their third straight win after two opening In losing, the Bears showed once again that is better to give than to receive." But one other quotation keeps popping into my mind, straight from that great football observer. Bill Shakespeare: is rotten in the State of Consider the facts.

Just a few weeks ago a Rear team trounced the 49ers 30 to 14 in a game that could just as well have been 60 to 14. game was played in Chicago. where the 49ers have lost for four straight years. And whether you like it or not. Papa Bear Halas, the Chi-coaehc, has great influence in his own back yard.

IN LAST Friday's column 1 the 49ers had won the game i When Jack and Coach Rod I Hickey get through looking at the films of the game you can bet some ears "ill burn, and I you may find some lineup shuf- fling for next week. ON THE fun side, it was good to see quarterback John Brodie going for the home run again! after forgetting the long shots' for weeks. Credit the improved play of J. 1). Smith for keep, ing the defense honest and giving Brodie time to exploit the great speed of his ends and i flankers backs.

And credit the offensive line for some sharp blocking. It helps. The Bears almost pulled the game out of the fire with some beautifully-executed screen reported that an ex-49er who passes.

The game itself was a dandy from a standpoint. San Francisco spectator, that is. I highly recommend a re- vitw of the contest on Wednesday night on TV, with an eye to the great pass reception, runs, and fumble plays. The ball really moved prise to pull the 49ers through next Sunday when they travel to Milwaukee to take on the undefeated champions, Green Bay Packers.

But worth a try. Each week the 49ers have looked like a different team, so Packer Coach Vic Lombardi can not set a defensive pattern. Maybe it is turn to write the MARIN GAMES WASHED OUT BUT FROM a technical standpoint, the Bear fumbles and the st nI)l- 49er defense really stank up joint, as the saying goes. During the game, Jack Christiansen, defensive backfield coach of the Prospectors, must have died a million deaths as his backs were suekered out of OVER WEEKEND position, failed to knock down or intercept passes, and on occasion tried to tackle by pushing the ball carrier. After the game, Christiansen found it hard to believe that Five Cities In Bid For '68 Olympics CHICAGO Dejegates from five cities will present cases today before the S.
