<b>George "Papa Bear" Halas – </b>During his incredible career Halas filled the shoes of owner, manager, player, and promoter. It was, however, as a coach that he excelled and was best known. Halas was first in many ways: the first to hold daily practice sessions, to utilize films of opponents' games for study, to schedule a barnstorming tour, and to have his team's games broadcast on radio. With his players, George maintained tight control. Disobedience and insubordination were not tolerated.
