Coach George Halas of the Chicago Bears | Known fondly as Papa Bear
George Halas, known as “Papa Bear”, is one of only two NFL coaches to win over 300 games, winning 324 games from 1920-1967 while only enduring 6 losing seasons. Halas is credited with many innovative developments in the sport, including co-creating the “T-Formation”. Using this new approach in the 1940 NFL championship game, Halas’ Bears defeated the Washington Redskins 73-0. Prior to his coaching career, Halas won the MVP award of the 1919 Rose Bowl Game, and also played 12 games as an outfielder for the New York Yankees. Today, the trophy awarded each year to the NFC champion is named after George Halas.

Harvard defeats Yale 29-29 in 1968
HARVARD WINS 29-29! - Saturday, November 23, 1968
Both Harvard and Yale brought undefeated 8-0 records into “The Game”. Yale held a seemingly
insurmountable lead, 29-13 with 3:30 remaining in the fourth quarter. In those final minutes, Harvard was able to score cutting the Yale lead to 29-21, and with 42 seconds remaining, Harvard recovered an onside kick, and quarterback Frank Champi was able to orchestrate a drive downfield into the end zone for a touchdown. He then threw a strike to Pete Varney to complete the two-point conversion, and, with time expiring, Harvard tied the game at 29. Both Harvard and Yale finish with identical 8-0-1 records.
