Page "George Halas" Paragraph 9

After ten seasons, Halas stepped back from the game in 1930, retiring as a player and leaving the sidelines as coach ; but he remained the team's owner, becoming sole owner in 1932.

The lure of the field was too much, however, as Halas returned in 1933 to coach the Bears for another ten seasons.

During his absence from coaching, the team had also won the 1932 championship.

His 1934 team was undefeated until a loss in the championship game to the New York Giants.
