John Helwig Intercepting a Pass
Original caption:George Halas, owner coach of the Chicago Bears, jumps for joy as John Helwig (partially hidden) breaks up as pass intended for Detroit Lions' Jug Girard (23) during a pro football contest at Chicago. Chicago's Bill George (61) and Don Kindt watch. The Bears won 28 to 24 but the loss meant little to the Lions. Leaders in the western division of the National Football League, they meet the Cleveland Browns, Eastern Division champs, for the league title
Helwig played 4 season in the NFL 1953-56
