"Papa Bear" George Halas Almost On the Eastland That Day-- Part 1

A 20-year-old George Halas, one of the founders of the NFl and "Papa Bear" to the Chicago Bears, was scheduled to be aboard the SS Eastland that day, but was delayed in leaving his house for the cruise and arrived after it turned over.

Would he have been one of those who perished that day and what effect would that have had on the NFL and the Chicago Bears?
