George Halas. Known for his willingness to spend money, most of the top pro football talent of his time played for Parduhn at one time or another. Parduhn's team was also known as the Hammond All-Stars and in 1919, Parduhn was arrested for passing off bogus checks to his players. Still, his Bobcats were one of the nation's best teams in 1919 with top talent like
Charley Brickley leading the way. His partner in this team was
Dr. Alva Andrew Young whom he would give control over to after Halas left the team to found the
Dacatur Staleys and basically took the entire Bobcats team with him. The team would be reformed using another name the team was known by, the
Hammond Pros, becoming founding members of the American Professional Football Association in 1920 (better known to us today as the
National Football League). == Personal life ==
