CHICAGO _ No kids in Chicago enjoyed Halloween night more than the Bears' rookies.

Rookie Nathan Vasher clinched a 23-13 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night at Soldier Field with a thrilling 71-yard interception return for a touchdown with 3 minutes 52 seconds left.

Vasher picked off a Ken Dorsey pass intended for Brandon Lloyd, kept his balance and sped down the sideline untouched into the end zone.

The 49ers challenged the play, but the officials ruled that Vasher did not have possession of the ball when his knee touched the ground and was not down when he regained control.

Rookies combined on the Bears' only other touchdown of the night _ a 49-yard connection from Craig Krenzel to Bernard Berrian on the second play from scrimmage.

"We have some great young football players making some great contributions," Krenzel said. "I think they're all trying to prove why they're here. It's a great feeling."
