SPORTS EDITOR There were so many upsets in pro football last Sunday that even the famed Gaylord system bit the dust. Just learned that our long time friend. "Zeke" Bacon, has been hospitalized way out there in Arizona. They won't keep him down too long. Took in the children's program at Edgebrook School Tuesday and found the gym packed with parents and grandparents. Mrs Leighty did a bang-up job with those little ones. That age old question "What do you want for Christmas" between man and wife is get ting close to the deadline. » The Bears won a must game i from the Packers, but none can t say the Chicago team is a high f scoring team. So is this column £ Now the Bears have to win £ next Sunday for a chance to \ enter the playoffs. Never a i doubt. They will make it. * ' • Christmas cards keep pouring in and we love every one.

"Red" Winkel thinks the Sox should have sent Brian Downing and whatever else to the Cubs for Morales. Not a bad idea. McllENRY REC. LADIES TUES. < NITE BOWLING 12-12-77 7 P.M.
