00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:17,000
On November 12, 1967, the New York Giants faced the Chicago Bears at Wrigley Field in Chicago during week 9 of the 1967 NFL season.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:26,000
The Giants entered the game with a 4-4 record, and the Bears, led by coach George Hallis in his final season, took the field with a 3-5 record.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000
This is the local Chicago radio broadcast featuring announcers Ken Hodge, Woody Erdman, and Dick Lynch.

5
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
It's great travel value weekend on Minitiss.

6
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Each week throughout the professional football season, the New York Giants radio network and its affiliated stations bring you exciting National League football.

7
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:15,000
The opening kickoff in today's game will be coming up in just a few moments.

8
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Here in Chicago, a crowd of about 45,000 is on hand here, 20 minutes prior to air time.

9
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:29,000
In weather that's on the overcast sky and chilly, temperatures are in the low 40s. It's expected to go into the 20s before the end of this afternoon's game.

10
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:36,000
The Giants enter this game all even on the season with four wins and four losses, while the Bears have won three and lost five.

In a multi-bonding with former Giants defensive back Dick Lynch, about how coaches Ali Sherman and George Hallis might be calling their strategy.

12
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,000
But right now for another look at today's game, let's call in our play-by-play reporter Woody Erdman.

13
00:01:50,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Thank you, Ted Hodge, and good afternoon everyone from Wrigley Field, Chicago, where this afternoon two football adventures will unfold for the more than 40,000 fans who are braving Chicago wins.

14
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:11,000
The first of the two adventures is the New York Giants high-flying offense, which leads the league in total yardage against the Bears' efficient defense,

15
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:18,000
which has made the most of individual skills and hustle and, of course, the artful design of coach Jim Dooley.

16
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
The second adventure holds some fascinating possibilities too for quite another reason.

17
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:30,000
It matches a rather stuttering Bear offense, which has shown signs of improvement but remains last in the league in yards gained,

18
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,000
and a giant defense which has had more points scored against it than any other defense in the National Football League,

19
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
but whose big problem appears now to be reduced to the defensive backfield.

20
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
If, as they say, everything is relative, this could be quite a clash.

21
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Football, of course, travels in cycles.

22
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Last year the Chicago Bears suffered through a 5-7-2 season, while the New York Giants were winning only one game all season.

23
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
The Bears had lost Andy Livingston and Johnny Morris for the season.

24
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000
The Giants had been forced to do without Tucker Fredrickson, and had encountered many, many injuries.

25
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000
The Giants turn up at Wrigley Field this afternoon for their first appearance here since 1963,

26
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,000
when Y.A. Tittle tried his very best to bring off the victory in the face of a brilliant Bear defense.

27
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Dick Lynch was in that football game.

28
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:26,000
And perhaps Dick can say it won't be too many years before it will be the Bears against the New York Giants again in another championship affair.

29
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,000
All right, Woody Yertman, let's hope that happy day is not too far away.

30
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
We'll be back to you very shortly when we get the opening kickoff in today's game.

31
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
We'll have more on today's game in just 60 seconds.

He knows what he wants out of life, and part of it is making the most of his military obligation.

Field in Chicago, Ted Hodge along with Woody Erdman and Dick Lynch prior to the opening kickoff

46
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,000
in this afternoon's national football league game between the New York Giants and the Chicago Bears.

47
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Well, Dick Lynch, before we get started talking about the background of this game

48
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
and what both coaches George Hallis and Ali Sherman are going to be using strategy-wise,

49
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000
I think it's entirely after fall here where Woody and Dick to call attention to our fans.

50
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
We are very soon going to reach a milestone in college football.

51
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,000
One of the Chicago newspapers this morning carried an item to the effect that just 10 years ago,

52
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:16,000
this coming Wednesday, Dick Lynch scored the only touchdown for Notre Dame in a great game against the University of Oklahoma.

53
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,000
And Dick, by golly, I've got to say you look like you could go out and score that touchdown again tomorrow if you had to.

54
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Not exactly, Ted. I wish I could, though. I just CD a piece in the papers and it was very nice.

55
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Well, Dick, if the Giants are going to win this game this afternoon against the Bears,

56
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000
I think it's obvious to just about everybody they're going to have to stop Mr. Gail Fares,

57
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,000
who has been variously termed a Kansas hurricane, a Kansas cyclone, a Chicago comet, and so forth.

58
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
In your thinking, Dick, having played against the Bears and knowing the coaching strategy,

59
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,000
how do you expect coaches Ali Sherman and Harlan Tavari, the defensive coach of the Giants, will accept a stop there?

60
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Well, it's a real fine question, of course, one that's definitely in front of the mind of the coaches on the Giants.

61
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,000
However, I do think the Giants can isolate Fares, particularly where he is very dangerous,

62
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,000
and that would be like, for instance, on the kickoff team where Gail Sayers has done so well.

63
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,000
He scored two touchdowns on runbacks on kickoff, and he's really an exciting runner,

64
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,000
and he's got the strength and the speed to go all the way on these kickoffs.

65
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,000
But with Pete Gogolak kicking against Gail Sayers, Gail Sayers lines up on the right.

66
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Pete Gogolak has the ability to place the ball to the left side of the field in the left corner.

67
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Gail Sayers lines up on the left. Well, then Gogolak has the ability to kick the ball to the right.

68
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000
He can place the football anywhere on the field, and that's one great advantage.

69
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
So that's how I think we're going to isolate him on the kickoff team.

70
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
The hunting team is also very, very dangerous when he gets the football,

71
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000
but he can be isolated once again because Ernie Coy kicks the ball nice and high,

72
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
and he also can kick it out of bounds, or he can place it himself.

73
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000
He has the ability to kick to the right, high and long, but to the right.

74
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
He can tell his defenders, I'm going to kick it to the right now, boys.

75
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Let's go over there. Let's go get him. Oh, he can kick it to the left.

76
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,000
He has that ability. So on our special teams, I think we can isolate Gail Sayers.

77
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:23,000
What happens if they decide to switch at a time when Gogolak is making his approach to the ball?

78
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Well, then I think they're doing something that's different,

79
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
and we're causing them to do something different, so I don't think that's going to affect it at all.

80
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Say it has to run from his right to his left, I think this is definitely in the favor of the Giants.

81
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
He can also drop the football, too.

82
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Don't forget, it takes quite a long time to see the arc of the ball,

83
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,000
see where it's going to fall, and try to get there in time, then to set up where you're blocking.

84
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000
But Gogolak also can place that ball very quickly to the right corner or to the left corner,

85
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,000
and I think, believe me, I think he can keep the ball away from Sayers.

86
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Dick, getting over to the Chicago Bears, I noticed that they're using Jack Con Cannon,

87
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,000
a former Boston College star quarterback, as their number one quarterback this year.

88
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Now, when Jack Con Cannon was signed to professional football by the Philadelphia Eagles,

89
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
he was, of course, their number two quarterback,

90
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
and the Bears have had an established quarterback in Rudy Bukic.

91
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
But now Con Cannon has been moved in by Coach George Callis ahead of Bukic,

92
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
and I'm wondering why this is, Dick.

93
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Well, the number one reason, Woody, I think, George Callis and the Chicago Bears

94
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,000
and football in general, coaches, they do believe that Jack Con Cannon can be a fine quarterback.

95
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,000
This is his first year starting at quarterback, and this has caused, he's under an awful lot of pressure.

96
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,000
He is young, he's 24 years old, this is like his first year starting at quarterback,

97
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
and they want to go with the young quarterback.

98
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Bukic has been in the league about 13 years. I played with Rudy down in Washington.

99
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,000
He's got a fine arm. I do think at times he is a little erratic,

100
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,000
and their offense in the beginning was fluttering, and as Woody pointed out, it hasn't been consistent.

101
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,000
They have scored 101 points, that's second lowest in the league.

102
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,000
The Atlanta Falcons have scored 96 points. So they don't have much of an offense.

103
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000
But so I think he's going to turn the reins completely over to Jack Con Cannon and build him up.

104
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,000
It takes a lot of experience, it takes playing time, and they want to go with Con Cannon.

105
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:26,000
I don't think he's much of a faster. In fact, he's somewhat like Tarkington in that he does do a lot of scrambling.

106
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,000
The figures here, he ran the ball 48 times, and Tarkington has only ran it 33 times.

107
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000
So when he goes back to throw the ball, he is also, he has the ability, he's 6'3 and weighs about 205 pounds,

108
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000
he has the ability to scramble. He also runs 199.

109
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,000
He's going to be a scrambler, just like Tarkington. He gained 176 yards on his 48 attempts.

110
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
That's not an awful lot, but he does have the ability to scramble.

111
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Tarkington ran it 33 times for 214 yards.

112
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,000
And we saw it last week as he scrambled and really led us to some real fine game.

113
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000
But overall though, that's the reason why I think they want to start Con Cannon,

114
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,000
and why they want to keep him in the ball game, make him the number one quarterback, give him the experience,

115
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,000
because he has the future ahead of him. His future is sort of like behind him.

116
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,000
So I would say youth movement on the part of Chicago Bears by one of the senior citizens and senior statesmen,

117
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
elder statesmen in the National Football League, the veteran coach George Hallis,

118
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,000
going as Dick Link mentioned, with youth in quarterback with Jack Con Cannon, the former Boston College star.

119
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000
We had the pleasure of seeing him in all three of his college games against Syracuse University,

120
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
the all three games he appeared in against Syracuse University over many of these state stations.

121
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,000
And Con Cannon was a fine college quarterback and has come along well here with the Chicago Bears.

122
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,000
We'll have more on today's game in just 60 seconds.

131
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Here at Wrigley Field in Chicago, we're just moments away from the opening kickoff in this afternoon's NFL football game

132
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,000
between the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants. Well, Dicklin, a few moments ago,

133
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:46,000
we were chatting about the strategy which the Giants would have to use to stop Gale Sayers and the Chicago Bears.

134
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Let's look at the other side of the coin now, Dick, and what will the Bears have to do to stop the Giants?

135
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Well, I think the Bears know what they have to do really, Ted.

136
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Let's take first Coach George Callis. He founded the ball club in 1920 and he's been a head coach for 40 of those years, since 1920.

137
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
He's been a head coach 40 years. He knows and understands football. He knows what he has to do.

138
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,000
What they have to do, and it's real important, the Giants come in here as the number one offensive ball club in the league.

139
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,000
They have to stop our passing attack. And if they ignore that, we're having such a fine year, right?

140
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,000
I think if Ernie Coy, by the way, who didn't practice all week, he didn't run until Friday,

141
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,000
but he's going to be able to start the football game, he's all right.

142
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Ernie Coy and Tucker Fredrickson, they're having a great year running. Both of them are blocking very well and they're running very well.

143
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,000
And I think we can run against the Chicago Bears defense. And I believe very strongly that we can pass.

144
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:53,000
And as they line up two men on Homer Jones has been the custom so far in the games that we've seen and we've recorded here,

145
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,000
we have Aaron Thomas. And Aaron Thomas has done very well against the Chicago Bears.

146
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,000
He's done very well against Richie Pettibone, who is a real fine safety.

147
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,000
And they're going to have a battle. It's going to be quite a battle, Pettibone against Aaron Thomas.

148
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:12,000
And also, of course, Homer Jones, he'll give anybody trouble. He'll give McRae trouble. He'll give Gentry trouble.

149
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000
And you never can tell when Homer's going to get the ball and go all the way with it.

150
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,000
So they have to stop our passing. And if they ignore that, it wipes out for the run.

151
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Because Tucker and Coy can go with that football. And that's a problem for the Bears.

152
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Our offense is really, really very good. Defensively, we have to stop Sayers on the ground.

153
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,000
And that's going to be 11 football players crowding him every time he gets his hands on the ball.

154
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000
They'll probably come with pitch outs, sweep, off-tackle plays. As good as Gale Sayers is on a pitch out, Ted,

155
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:49,000
he can go off-tackle just as well. And that's his favorite play, off-tackle behind Grape Blocking.

156
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,000
And he has the ability to go all the way, especially down the goal line. They like to go off-tackle with him.

157
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,000
And they have also in their backfield, Ronnie Bull, who's not having a great year. He's been hurried a lot.

158
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:05,000
And Bull is very swift, very elusive around when he comes around to football.

159
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,000
He's got a picture on that end very quick. And he also has the ability to pass as Sayers, too.

160
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,000
They're both left-handed and they both can pass the football. This is something we might see during a football game.

161
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Okay, Dick Lynch, that's something we'll be watching for. And if it develops, pass on to our listeners.

162
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Let's take a look now at the offensive starting lineup for both these clubs as the players are being introduced on the field.

163
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:31,000

174
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000

177
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Left guard, Mike Raybold, 6'2", 250-pounder from Indiana.

178
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,000
The center, Mike Pyle, a 6'3", 250-pounder from Yale University.

179
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:02,000
The right guard, Jim Cadell, a 6'3", 240-pounder from San Jose State.

180
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000

181
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:14,000

182
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:20,000
The flanker back will be Johnny Morris, a 5'10", 180-pounder from the University of California at Santa Barbara.

183
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,000
The quarterback, Jack Conkannon, who we were speaking about earlier with Dick Link,

184
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
he stands 6'3", weighs 205, and attended Boston College.

185
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,000
The running backs will be Gail Sayers, at 6'3", he weighs 198 pounds, is from Kansas University,

186
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,000
and Ronnie Bull, 6'2", 200 pounds from Baylor.

187
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Both teams are getting ready for the opening kickoff, which will be coming up in just a moment.

188
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Right now, we've got 70 seconds for station identification.

189
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
This is the New York Giants Radio Network.

190
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
That's 8'10", on your dial, in Schenectady, New York.

191
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Shortly for the opening kickoff in this game between the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants,

192
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Dick Link, this is a mighty important game for both of these ball clubs.

193
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Talking with some of the Chicago Bear players, they really feel that they are still in this race, and they are.

194
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000
If you look at their division, they're in the central division, with Green Bay hurting out,

195
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,000
both for Bowski and Pitts out. I don't know how long for Bowski's going to be out.

196
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:21,000
And with Bart Stott, certainly questionable, he goes game to game, but his shoulder isn't really in great shape.

197
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:28,000
They feel, even though they're three games behind, that by the time they meet the Green Bay Packers,

198
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000
which is in about three games, that they'll have closed the gap.

199
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000
And so, since they're only a half game out of second place, and three games behind the leaders,

200
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
the Green Bay Packers, they want to win this football game. This is an important game.

201
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,000
And if you look back over the history of the Chicago Bears,

202
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000
they certainly come on real strong late in the season, and this is late in the season.

203
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
This is the time when Papa Hallis gets them really rolling.

204
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000
So, they have an excellent chance to steal that central division.

205
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,000
For the New York Giants, this is a mighty important game for us. We're one game out of first place.

206
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cleveland Browns right now are one game ahead of us.

207
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,000
But perhaps if any one of those teams lose, we find ourselves right back in the first place.

208
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000
So, this is a big game for the Giants, a big game for the Bears,

209
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000
and that's what's going to make an exciting football game today.

210
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,000
And the Giants have won the toss and elected to receive.

211
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:25,000
They will be receiving from the goal-lined zone directly in front of us here at Wrigley Field,

212
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000
as the Bears line up for the kickoff.

213
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Out with referee Pat Hagerty for the coin tossing ceremony,

214
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000
with co-captains Joe Morrison, Jim Katkiewicz of the Giants,

215
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,000
and for the Bears, Mike Pyle and Bob Witowska of the offensive unit,

216
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000
and Zygmunt Guss, the middle linebacker on defense.

217
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Now, here come the Giants out of their huddles around Coach Ali Sherman,

218
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,000
ready to line up in receiving formation.

219
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Kicking off, placing the ball on the 40-yard line is Mack Percival,

220
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:03,000
a 6'4", 220-pounder from Texas Tech, who will kick off for the Chicago Bears.

221
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:10,000
The Giants come out directly below us now here at Wrigley Field, ready to receive the kickoff.

222
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,000
And very, very shortly, we will have play-by-play action in the National Football League game

223
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
between the New York Giants and the Chicago Bears.

224
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Percival has placed the ball on the 40-yard line for the Bears.

225
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,000
The Giants are down below us, all set to receive.

226
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
There's the signal here to tell you about it, our play-by-play reporter, Woody Yergman.

227
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,000
There's the approach to the ball, the foot heads toward the near side of the field

228
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,000
and goes out of bounds on about the 5-yard line, so it will be kicked over.

229
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Back to receive the kickoff will be Clarence Childs and Randy Minier.

230
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Minier was just activated this past week.

231
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:52,000
He's a graduate of Purdue, 6'1", 200 pounds, and now has been assigned number 27.

232
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000
So we're here at Wrigley Field in Chicago prior to kickoff

233
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,000
with a game between the New York Giants and the Chicago Bears.

234
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:05,000
A word about Randy Minier, Woody, he, of course, was assigned to the New York Giants

235
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Bomb Club, the Westchester Bulls, and he had an excellent season there.

236
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000
He was running the ball very well. He is an excellent runner.

237
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Unfortunately, in his rookie year last year, he broke his leg up at training camp

238
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,000
in Fairfield, Connecticut. But he's back and he's healthy and he's in real good shape

239
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
and he's a fine runner.

240
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Number 83, Max Percival, will kick off with the Chicago Bears. The ball is on the 35.

241
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,000
The arm has been placed high in the air, and there is the approach to the ball, the boost.

242
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
It's a high over end over end kick taken by Clarence Childs on the 12.

243
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,000
He carries it to the 20, to the 25, to the 30, up to the 35-yard line,

244
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,000
and he's brought down over on the far side of the field on the 35-yard line.

245
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,000
So it will be first and 10 for the New York Giants on their own 35.

246
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Bob Jones made the tackle for the Chicago Bears.

247
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,000
In the opening seconds of play here at Wrigley Field,

248
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,000
in other action in the National Football League, first period San Francisco 7, Washington nothing.

249
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Out of the huddle, up to the line of scrimmage, the New York Giants.

250
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Out on the flank on the far side is Del Schaffner.

251
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
The split end on the near side, Homer Jones, the ball handed off to Triplet.

252
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Triplet picks up, yardage, gets past the line of scrimmage,

253
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:22,000
past the 40-yard line, up to about the 41-yard line where he's tackled by Doug Buffoon.

254
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Mill, Triplet, 6 feet 2, 210 pounds.

255
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
And so it's a pick up of 6, makes it second and 4.

256
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,000
The ball on the 41-yard line, out of the huddle, up to the line of scrimmage, the New York Giants.

257
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Jones on the near side, Schaffner on the far side.

258
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
There's the pitch out to Fredericton.

259
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Fredericton gets yardage, gets past the Nittsville Stripes,

260
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:51,000
gets down to about the 42-yard line and he's tackled there by Jim Purnell,

261
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000
the right linebacker for the Chicago Bears.

262
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
So it's a first down for the New York Giants,

263
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,000
13 minutes and 40 seconds of playing time remaining in the first quarter.

264
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,000
And an excellent block that time by Darrell Dess and opening up that hole for Tucker, it was nice and big.

265
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,000
And Darrell Dess pulled out of the line and knocked Buffoon back,

266
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000
enabling Tucker to make that big yardage.

267
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
So the ball is on about the 44-yard line.

268
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Over the ball at center, Greg Larson.

269
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
There's the handoff to Triplet. Triplet hits the middle of the line.

270
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,000
He stops at the line of scrimmage by Dick Eby and Frank Cornich.

271
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000
The middle portion of the forward wall for the Chicago Bears.

272
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,000
He may have picked up about a yard or two.

273
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
No score in the ball game here at Wrigley Field.

274
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,000
The New York Giants and the Chicago Bears make it second down in about 10.

275
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
No gain on that fast play.

276
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Second and 10, New York Giants calling the signals for the Giants.

277
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Fran Trachendon on the near side.

278
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
It's Homer Jones on the far side.

279
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Del Schauffner, Trachendon fades.

280
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,000
A pass to Jones. It's good.

281
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Jones gets it on about the 31-yard line,

282
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,000
and he tackles just about at the time he receives it by Curtis Gentry,

283
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,000
who is the right cornerback for the Chicago Bears.

284
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,000
And so the ball is on the Bears' 31-yard line.

285
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:13,000
First and 10, New York Giants on the Bears' 31.

286
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000
The New York Giants on the go in the opening quarter.

287
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Now this game between the Giants and the Chicago Bears, traditional rivals.

288
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000
There's the snap to Trachendon.

289
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Trachendon fades.

290
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
A pass over the line to Aaron Thomas. It's good.

291
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
And carried to about the 20-yard line on the near side of the field,

292
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,000
where he's stopped there by Jim Purnell and Ricky Pettibone.

293
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Purnell, the right linebacker, Pettibone, the strong safety.

294
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Pettibone in his ninth season, Purnell in his fourth season.

295
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
So it's another first down for the Giants.

296
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:49,000
First and 10, New York Giants, 11 minutes and 46 seconds of playing time remaining in the first period.

297
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
The Giants in possession of the football.

298
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
First and 10, the ball on the 20 of the Chicago Bears.

299
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Trachendon calling the signals.

300
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:00,000
The running back are Fredrickson and Triplett offside.

301
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Marty Ampler, I think, pulled offside on that pass way, Dick.

302
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Right, he did. He jumped the gun by about two seconds.

303
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
I think Trachendon was ready to take the ball anyway and throw it,

304
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,000
but the referee stepped right in.

305
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,000
It was offside and they stopped the ball even before they got in motion.

306
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,000
So that puts the ball on the 15-yard line.

307
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000
The ball on the New York Giants. It is first and five to go.

308
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
The ball on the 15 of the Bears.

309
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage, the Giants.

310
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Turner on the far side. He's a flanker.

311
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
The split end. Homer Jones on the near side.

312
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
The tight end. Aaron Thomas. Triplett and Fredrickson are the running backs.

313
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,000
The ball handed off to Fredrickson.

314
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Fredrickson to the five down to about the two-yard line,

315
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,000
and he's forced out of bounds on the near side of the field by Curtis Gentry,

316
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,000
right cornerback for the Chicago Bears.

317
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Tucker Fredrickson, who this year ended the ball game with 261 yards rushing in 81 carries.

318
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Well, it's been a giant habit to take the ball as they get it

319
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
and move right down the field in every game.

320
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,000
They've scored, I think, just about every time they had their hands on the ball the first time, Woody.

321
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
They're in real fine scoring position once again.

322
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
They're talking in his boredom right down.

323
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000
First and goal to go with the ball on the three-yard line.

324
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Tuck in and calling the signals.

325
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Hands the ball off to Triplett. Triplett hits the middle of the line.

326
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:19,000
He bangs into it, but he has stopped by the center portion of the front four for the Chicago Bears.

327
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Dick Eby, Frank Cornish, and middle line backer Dick Butkus.

328
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,000
It's going to be tough moving a man like Frank Cornish, Woody.

329
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,000
They say he's 270 pounds, but I was next to him down on the field.

330
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,000
I think he's over the 300 mark. He's about 3'5".

331
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Bob Crespino goes in the ball game. He moves in a tight end, and Aaron Thomas slips over to split end.

332
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Del Schaffner is the flanker back.

333
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000
The running backs are Fredrickson and Triplett.

334
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Tuck in and calling the signal for the New York Giants.

335
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Greg Larson over the ball at center. Takes the snap from center.

336
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Hands the ball off to Triplett. Triplett loses the footing as he hits the line,

337
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000
and he has stopped at the line of scrimmage by Ed O'Brannovich,

338
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:02,000
number 87 in his sixth season in the National Football League, 6'3", 255 pounds.

339
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000
The New York Giants knocking on the door.

340
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:10,000
The ball on about the one-yard line.

341
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Bill Triplett went into the line, and as he moved into the line, he tried to cut in, lost his footing,

342
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000
picked up about two. One yard to go.

343
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Tuck in and calling the signal. Takes the snap from center.

344
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000
He fades. He's looking for a receiver.

345
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
There's a pick-up to the next line.

346
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:32,000
To Darrell Dess. It's a lateral, and I believe Dess carried it in.

347
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Yes, that's right, Woody. You called it right.

348
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,000
That's a touchdown, and I bet you Darrell Dess is really very amazed,

349
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,000
but very late at the same time, Tuck in and put on a great rush by Ed O'Brannovich.

350
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,000
As he went to try to go into the end zone with the ball, he was tackled,

351
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,000
and instinctively turned around, threw the ball to Darrell Dess,

352
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000
and put his shoulder in, and just took over two fair defenders with him.

353
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
A touchdown, Giants lead.

354
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Darrell Dess scores the touchdown for the Giants.

355
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Taking a lateral from Fran Tarkin, and seats go relaxed.

356
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Will attempt the conversion. There's the hole, the boot. It is good.

357
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,000
And so it's seven for the New York Giants, nothing for the Chicago Bears.

358
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,000
More New York Giants football in just 60 seconds.

359
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,000
So the New York Giants get on the scoreboard first here at Wrigley Field in Chicago

360
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,000
early in the first quarter, taking the opening kickoff, a 65-yard drive,

361
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000
capped by a lateral pass from Fran Tarkin to Darrell Dess for the touchdown.

362
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Kogelach's conversion kick was good. The Giants lead the Chicago Bears 7-0.

363
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Now here is Kogelach kicking off for the Giants.

364
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Here to tell you about it, the network voice of the Giants, Woody Erdman.

365
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Gordon and Sayers lined up one behind the other, an attempt to confuse Kogelach.

366
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000
As Kogelach kicks off, the ball taken by Ralph Kurek.

367
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Kurek carries the ball along the near side of the field,

368
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,000
and he is finally down on about the 35-yard line.

369
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Right, Woody, I think, as we called it,

370
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Dale Sayers and Gordon were back there one behind the other,

371
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,000
so they were trying to confuse the Giants rushing team coming down.

372
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Kogelach tried to put it over on the left side of the field.

373
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Chicago Bears out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage, calling the signal.

374
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Jack Kencannon, the quarterback for the Chicago Bears, over the ball at center, Mike Pyle.

375
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000
The ball is snapped back to Kencannon, he hands it off to Ron Bull.

376
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Bull hits the line, he picks up several yards,

377
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000
and he's brought down short of the 40-yard line.

378
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Ron Bull, who is back in action, he was out.

379
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,000
The result of injury and makes his return today.

380
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,000
He's a six-year veteran, six feet tall, 200 pounds.

381
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000
A graduate of Baylor.

382
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage, the Chicago Bears.

383
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
It is second and eighth.

384
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
The running backs are Sayers and Ron Bull.

385
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
The flanker back is Johnny Morris.

386
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Over the ball at center is Mike Pyle.

387
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
The quarterback, Jack Kencannon.

388
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Kencannon takes the snap from center.

389
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,000
He fades, looking for a receiver.

390
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
He's being left behind the line of scrimmage.

391
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Kencannon is after him.

392
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,000
He's being cheeked.

393
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,000
There's a short pass, a free pass to Austin Jenney.

394
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Jenney got the ball on the far side of the field

395
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000
and carried it up to about the 39- to 40-yard line.

396
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Ken Avery and Bill Flayne brought him down.

397
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Austin Jenney, six feet two, 229 pounds.

398
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000
The rookie from Tennessee made the reception,

399
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:18,000
averting what could have been a tragedy.

400
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:23,000
So it is now second and about seven.

401
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
The Giants at that time lined up in an odd defense.

402
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000
They had five men on the line of scrimmage,

403
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,000
and it was strictly the linemen who were putting the rush on Kencannon.

404
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Chicago Bears out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage.

405
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Kencannon takes the snap from center.

406
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,000
There's a short pass, looks at number 47, Johnny Morris.

407
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Morris catches the ball, and he is down.

408
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,000
As soon as he gets the ball on about the 47- to 48-yard line of the Giants,

409
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Scott Eaton made the tackle.

410
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Scott Eaton has returned after having been out as a result of injury.

411
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
He's the left cornerback for the Giants.

412
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
And he's covering one of the real fine receivers in the National Football League,

413
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Johnny Morris.

414
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,000
He's been beset by injuries also, Woody,

415
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,000
but he's one of the finest receivers I've ever played against.

416
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000
First and 10 Chicago Bears with a ball now in Giants territory.

417
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,000
We have 6 minutes and 57 seconds of playing time remaining in the first quarter.

418
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,000
There is a pass to Morris, on the 40, on the 30,

419
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,000
and he is brought down on the 29-yard line by Wendell Harris,

420
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
strong safety man for the Giants.

421
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Johnny Morris took the pass on the near side of the field from Jackson Kenan,

422
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,000
and he carried it to about the 29-yard line of the New York Giants,

423
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
another first down, first and 10 Chicago.

424
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
The Giants are leading 7-0.

425
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Other scores of National Football League action,

426
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,000
first period, Baltimore 21, Atlanta 0.

427
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,000
First quarter, San Francisco 7, Washington 0.

428
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
And here at Wrigley Field it's 7 for the Giants,

429
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
nothing for the Bears, but the Bears are threatening.

430
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Up at the line of scrimmage, the Chicago Bears,

431
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Jackson Kenan calling the signals.

432
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,000
There's a snap from center.

433
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,000
He's fading.

434
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,000
He's being crushed.

435
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,000
And there is a pass intended on the near side of the field for Austin Jenney,

436
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,000
right as Jackson Kenan was being pulled down by Bob Lertz-Semmah.

437
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Bob Lertz-Semmah, one of the defensive tackles for the New York Giants.

438
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,000
One thing in the Giants' favor so far in this ball game,

439
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
as far as when Kenan goes back to pass, Woody,

440
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
he does not drop back very deep.

441
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
That time he only dropped back around 4 yards,

442
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
and the giant linemen were right on top of him,

443
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000
causing him to just try to get rid of the football before it was tackled.

444
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
So in this league, if you're going to pass,

445
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,000
it takes a little bit more time.

446
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
You have to drop back at least 7 yards,

447
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,000
but he hasn't done it so far.

448
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
The flanker back, Johnny Morris on the near side,

449
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
the split end, Dick Gordon over on the far side.

450
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
The quarterback is Jackson Kenan.

451
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
He fades.

452
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Again, the right's being put on him.

453
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
There's a screen pass to Ronnie Bull.

454
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Bull gets it, carries it over to the far side of the field to about the 35.

455
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Now, that'll be a lot of about 4 yards on the play.

456
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Vince Costello made the tackle.

457
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
And Costello had him man to man, Woody.

458
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,000
He read the play correctly.

459
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,000
As Bull came out into what we're looking at right now, the right flat zone,

460
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Vinnie Costello, with 11 years experience, was right in back of him.

461
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
As he caught the football, he dragged him right down.

462
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
And it was a real fine play by Vince Costello.

463
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Now the Bears are in a little bit of trouble as far as trying to get the first down.

464
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000
They have the third down and about 15 to go,

465
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,000
and they'll have to get at least 15 to keep this drive going.

466
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Ralph Keurig replaces Ron Bull as a running back for the Chicago Bears.

467
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Johnny Morris flanked out on the far side.

468
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Dick Gordon, the split end on the near side.

469
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Kenan takes the snap from center.

470
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
The ball handed off to Gale Stairs.

471
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Gale Stairs rushes to the far side.

472
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,000
He is down on about the 30-yard line by Ken Avery.

473
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,000
The Bears went into this ball game with 397 yards gained rushing and three touchdowns.

474
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,000
He's a tough one.

475
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Six feet tall, 198 pounds.

476
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,000
The ball is on the 30-yard line.

477
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
That makes it fourth down and about 11 or 12 yards to go.

478
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
They will try now for a field goal.

479
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Max Percival, 6 feet 4, 220 pounds in his sixth season in the National Football League.

480
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Mike Pyle holds the ball.

481
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Accept the ball from center.

482
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,000
There is the boot.

483
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,000
It is no good.

484
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,000
It's wide to the near side.

485
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
So it is no good.

486
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:04,000
And the score remains, the New York Giants 7, the Chicago Bears nothing.

487
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:09,000
We have four minutes and 35 seconds of playing time remaining in the first quarter of this football game.

488
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,000
7-0.

489
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000
The Giants out front.

490
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,000
So the ball will be placed on the 20-yard line and the Giants will take over possession.

491
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,000
Coming into the ball game, Aaron Thomas, Joe Morrison will be the flanker back.

492
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Homer Jones will split in.

493
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Aaron Thomas will tie it in.

494
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
There's a pause in the action here at Wrigley Field.

495
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
The score, 7 for the Giants, nothing for the Bears.

496
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000
More Giants football in just 30 seconds.

497
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Here at Wrigley Field, the New York Giants have held the Chicago Bears on their first attempted scoring.

498
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:44,000
The Bears put the ball in play on their own 35 and were unable to get the field goal attempt, which was just tried.

499
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
So the Giants take over on their own 20-yard line.

500
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,000
First and 10 here to tell you about it, Woody Erdman.

501
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Joe Shofner remains the flanker back and will not be replaced by Joe Morrison.

502
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,000
There's a snap from center to Tuckerman and Hands it off to Triplet.

503
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Triplet bangs into the middle of the line.

504
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:05,000
He gets to about the line of scrimmage and he meets Dick Butkus and Dick E.B. at the middle of the line.

505
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:10,000
So there is no gain on the play and it remains 10 yards to go second down for the New York Giants.

506
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Well, it's a name we'll be hearing a lot about, Woody.

507
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,000
This Dick Butkus is a real fine linebacker.

508
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:21,000
This is his third year and his previous two years he was all NFL as middle linebacker.

509
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Quite a tribute.

510
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
The Bears now with five defensive halfbacks.

511
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Blackenden rolls to the near side.

512
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
There's a pass to Homer Jones.

513
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Incomplete.

514
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Lenny McCrae, the left cornerback, covering Homer Jones.

515
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,000
And had Homer been able to get his hands on the ball, he would have been on his way.

516
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,000
But as we mentioned, the Bears went to five defensive halfbacks.

517
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Joe Taylor replaced Jim Vernell, the right linebacker.

518
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:52,000
And so, Gentry Taylor, that is Rosie Taylor, Joe Taylor, Richie Pettibone, and Benny McCay,

519
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
all were in that defensive backfield.

520
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:00,000
And they read the situation right, preventing a pass completion from Tuckerman intended for Homer Jones.

521
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Incomplete, third and tenth.

522
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,000
The New York Giants move onto the huddle up to the line of scrimmage.

523
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Over on the far side is Del Schaffner, he's the flanker.

524
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Split end, Homer Jones.

525
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Tuckerman takes the snap from center.

526
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,000
There is a pass intended for Schaffner.

527
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Out of bounds.

528
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,000
And so it will be fourth and tenth, and the Giants will be fourth to punt.

529
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:26,000
All right, Woody, as you know, last week we saw five defensive backs against the New York Giants offense.

530
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,000
The Minnesota Vikings had that maneuver in their defensive backfield.

531
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
And this is exactly what the Bears are doing.

532
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,000
And at the same time, the Bears, with their five defensive backs, all speed demons, they're all very fast back there,

533
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,000
are flicking Dick Butkiss right up the middle of that giant line.

534
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
But he's being picked up very well by Greg Larson.

535
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,000
And so the Giants start to win upon formation.

536
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Ernie Coy, back to do the punting.

537
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,000
He's standing on the seven.

538
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
It's a little snap from center.

539
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,000
There's the boot.

540
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:59,000
It's a high wobbling spiral that called for a fair catch, called for on about the 42-yard line, good for about 40 yards.

541
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:04,000
And so the Chicago Bears will take over with a ball resting on their own 42-yard line.

542
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000
The Giants are leading seven to nothing.

543
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,000
We have three minutes and 45 seconds of playing time remaining in the first quarter.

544
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Seven to nothing, the Giants out front.

545
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:18,000
The only scores we have of the two we reported, Baltimore over Atlanta in the first period, 21 to nothing,

546
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,000
and also a first quarter score, San Francisco, seven, Washington, nothing.

547
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:31,000
The game's Philadelphia against Los Angeles, Dallas, New Orleans, Detroit meets Minnesota, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Cleveland against Green Bay.

548
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Let's pause.

549
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Ten seconds for station identification.

550
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,000
This is the New York Giants Radio Network.

551
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Hi, this is Jerry Ducey.

552
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Down my way, we tonight for conversation on WGY, H Avenue, Dial Skidding.

553
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Here at Wrigley Field in Chicago, we have a momentary time out.

554
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,000
And time for us to remind you that if you haven't already done so,

555
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,000
it is time that you sent in your card or letter to Woody and Dick

556
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,000
and became a member of our honorary New York Giants Sportscasters Club.

557
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Just send your name and address plus the car letters of the station to which you're now listening.

558
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:09,000
We'll be giving away footballs, autographs by the Giants, official team pictures, Giants yearbook,

559
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000
and we'll make you a member of our honorary Sportscasters Club.

560
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Nothing to buy, no obligation. Just send us your name and address.

561
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Okay, Woody.

562
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,000
Chicago Bears over the line of scrimmage. Jack Ken Cannon calling the signals. The flanker back is Johnny Morris.

563
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,000
The split end, Dick Gordon. There's a snap from center.

564
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:30,000
A ball handed off to Serz. Serz attempts a sweep, and he gets to about the 45, finally up to about the 50 yards.

565
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,000
It's to the midfield side over on the far side of the field, and he is brought down over there

566
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:39,000
by strong safetyman Wendell Harris and by middle linebacker Vince Costello.

567
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Well, that's the strong factor for this guy, Gale Serz. Dick Lynch.

568
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,000
That's right, Woody, and he almost busted those tackles and got around there.

569
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Had he got around those boys, he was running for daylights.

570
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Gale Serz on a sweep, moves the ball eight yards, so it is now second and two.

571
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,000
The Chicago Bears up at the line of scrimmage over the ball at center. Mike Pyle, there's a snap to Ken Cannon.

572
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Ken Cannon fakes a handoff. There's a pass to the near side of the field.

573
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,000
Intended on the near side of the field for Dick Gordon.

574
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:13,000
The split end, he was covered by Spider Lockhart, who made a brilliant, brilliant lunge for that ball, Dick.

575
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Right, and he just about, at least he interfered enough with Gordon so he couldn't get his hands on the football.

576
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,000
It did go off his fingertips, but Spider made a valiant effort to intercept the football.

577
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:27,000
He almost got it himself, but a fine play by Spider, picking up Dick Gordon as he came across the middle of the field.

578
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:34,000
And once again, Woody, the giant defensive line, was right on top of Ken Cannon, causing him to slow the ball a little bit early.

579
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Number 87, Edo Bradovich, has gone in the ball game. He replaced Dick Gordon.

580
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Ken Cannon calling the signals and the ball off.

581
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:49,000
There's Bumble's over on the far side of the field. There's a pileup over there.

582
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:54,000
And it is recovered by the New York Giants. Gale Fairs attempted a slam.

583
00:39:54,000 --> 00:40:00,000
And as he was moving into the line, the football was knocked out of his arms by Ken Avery.

584
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:06,000
And so it was fallen upon by the New York Giants, fallen upon by Ken Avery.

585
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:11,000
So it is now first and 10 for the Giants on the midfield strike.

586
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,000
They're over on the far side of the field as they break out of the huddle.

587
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Joe Schaffner is flanked out on the far side. Split on the near side.

588
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Homer Jones, the tight end Aaron Thomas, the running back, Triplett and Frederickson.

589
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Karkinen, takes the handle, gives the ball over the middle to Schaffner. Schaffner takes it down to the 20, down to about the 15-yard line.

590
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:38,000
After taking that pass to the middle of the field, he raced to the near side of the field and carried it all the way down to the 15-yard line.

591
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Roosevelt Taylor, the free safety man for the Chicago Bears, prevented Joe Schaffner from taking it in.

592
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,000
And so the New York Giants are again knocking on the door of the Chicago Bears.

593
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:54,000
They're leading seven and up in the Giants. The ball placed officially on the 16.

594
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:00,000
So it is now first and 10 Giants on the Bears' 16. Schaffner flanked out to the far side.

595
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Jones on the near side, the tight end Thomas, Triplett and Frederickson, the running back.

596
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,000
Here's the snap from center, the hand off to Triplett. Triplett finds the hole as he hits the far side of the line,

597
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:17,000
carries the ball past the 15-yard line, down to about the 13, and he's tackled there by Budgett and Buffoon.

598
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:25,000
The Chicago Bears now deep in their own territory with a Giants' dissection, the Bears using free linebackers.

599
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Right down here, Woody, there's no really room to run. I mean, no deep secondary, so that's why they keep the free linebackers in.

600
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,000
They do expect a run, but they might get the pass this time.

601
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,000
The ball on about the 11, the ball handed off from Tarkin into Frederickson.

602
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Frederickson, the middle of the line, passed the 10-yard line, picks up several yards, and he's brought down by Marty Ampler and Frank Cornish.

603
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Ampler, the right defensive end, and Frank Cornish, the left defensive tackle.

604
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:59,000
So it is now third and one. Aaron Thomas now the split end, Bob Crespino moves in at tight end.

605
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Homer Jones leads the ball game. Schunker flanked out on the far side.

606
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Frederickson and Triplett, the running back. Tarkin then calling the signals, takes the snap from center,

607
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:13,000
hands the ball off, carried to the near side of the line, carried into the line by Triplett,

608
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:18,000
by Frederickson, I believe, as they unfold, and he may have picked up a first down.

609
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,000
He's very close, Woody, I think he has got it. Yes, he does. It's a first down and a fine run by Tucker.

610
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Just put his head down, his shoulder went right into the linebacker Burnell, and he got it.

611
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,000
At least he knocked him down enough to get his first down. It's a real thick first down for the Giants.

612
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,000
Now they have six yards to go for a touchdown, but they're in excellent position here.

613
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,000
First and goal to goal for the Giants. Schunker flanked out to the far side.

614
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Jones back in the ball game. He's a split end, moved in on the near side.

615
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Thomas the tight end. Tarkin then calling the signals. There's the snap from center.

616
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,000
The ball given on a pitch out to Frederickson. Frederickson takes the sweep and then turns in

617
00:42:52,000 --> 00:43:00,000
and gets to about the line as Krimigy may have picked up a yard. Dick Pukkis and Ed O'Brannibich make the tackle.

618
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:05,000
That's the end of the quarter, and so at the completion of the first quarter,

619
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:10,000
the score here at Wrigley Field in Chicago, the New York Giants 7, the Chicago Bears nothing.

620
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Okay, Woody Eerdmans, say a friend here in Chicago, our New York Giants Radio Network broadcasting staff

621
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:22,000
is headquartered at the Ambassador East Hotel, home of the famous Pump Room.

622
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:28,000
On your next trip to Chicago for business or pleasure, you'll enjoy gracious hospitality at Lowe's Ambassador East

623
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,000
and pleasant relaxation and sumptuous dining in the famous Pump Room.

624
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,000
You're the Ambassador East and the Ambassador West.

625
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:41,000
I want to remind you, too, that if you are coming to New York for a Giants game next week

626
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:46,000
when the Giants play Pittsburgh any time soon, here's a tip for you.

627
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Lowe's fabulous new Summit Hotel in the heart of New York is the place to spend your football weekend.

628
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Have a Big Town Saturday night at the Swinging Gaucho Room with its great food and sophisticated entertainment.

629
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,000
There's never a cover or minimum there, you know.

630
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Follow that up Sunday with a hearty brunch and an afternoon of exciting Giants brand of professional football

631
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,000
for the most exhilarating weekend you've ever had.

632
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Best of all, Lowe's Summit Hotel, you know, is where the Giants make their home away from home when they're playing in New York.

633
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Check the yellow pages or your favorite travel agent for reservation information.

634
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Here we go to the second quarter of play.

635
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Chicago, here to tell you about it, Woody Eerdmans.

636
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,000
The Giants up to the line is coming. Schaffner on the near side.

637
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Bob Crespino in the ball game, a tight end to split in. Aaron Thomas talking to Dakes to staff from center.

638
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,000
He fades back to about the 15.

639
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,000
He's being right. He's pulled out back on the 10-yard line.

640
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:39,000
Edel Brodovich, a pass right, put on Fran Tuckenden.

641
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,000
And they pull him down behind the line of scrimmage back on about the 10.

642
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,000
That's the loss of about five yards of the play.

643
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Right, Woody. I think Fran was trying to hit Del Schaffner, who was covered very, very well by Benny McRae over here on our side of the field.

644
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Del was trying his very famous square out pattern, which he does excellently.

645
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Benny, with no room behind him, just stayed with him move for move and Tuckenden could not release the football.

646
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,000
And so it is now.

647
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:11,000
The New York Giants in possession of the football, third and nine. Schaffner flanked out on the near side.

648
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:16,000
The tight end is Bob Crespino. The split end is Aaron Thomas talking to Dakes.

649
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,000
There's a pass in the end zone.

650
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,000
And they stop their play. Benny McRae, the play goes to the 10.

651
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:28,000
He's on a 15 yard line and he's stuck on a 15 yard line on the far side of the field by Cheryl Depp.

652
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,000
That pass intended for Del Schaffner under the goal post.

653
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Intercepted there by Benny McRae, who took the ball away from Schaffner.

654
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Chicago Bears at the 17 yard line.

655
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,000
So it is a pick up of about two yards. We'll make it second and eighth.

656
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,000
And that's a fine one on one stop by Clarence Childs.

657
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:52,000
He came up and kept his head up and as the Bears was trying to get around him by juking,

658
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,000
he just went right into him and pulled him right down. A fine tackle by Clarence Childs.

659
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,000
Ron Bull and Gale Sairs are the running back.

660
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,000
Sairs out on the wing on the far side.

661
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,000
Contanna takes the staff from center. He rolls out.

662
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:10,000
There is a pass to Sairs. Sairs tries to reverse his position after getting the pass.

663
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,000
And there is a marker on the play.

664
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Gale Sairs took that ball heading toward the far sideline.

665
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,000
As he caught the ball, he tried to reverse his field.

666
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,000
He could not do it, lost his footing.

667
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,000
And a marker was drawn on the play.

668
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Well they're calling a face match penalty. Woody, it's a 15 yard penalty.

669
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,000
It takes the Chicago Bears out of the hole, so to speak.

670
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,000
At least they are 15 yards given to them that time.

671
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,000
The referee was standing right there and he threw the flag down.

672
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,000
Has the ball player, Sairs tried to spin away, I think one of the ball players grabbed the face match.

673
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,000
It's an automatic 15 yard penalty and a first down.

674
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,000
So it's first and 10 Chicago Bears on their own 38 yard line.

675
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,000
Number 45, Dick Gordon is split on the far side.

676
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,000
Johnny Morris flanked on the near side.

677
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,000
There's the staff from center. The handoff, the carry into the middle by Ron Bull.

678
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Bull gets to about the 40 yard line.

679
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:04,000
And he is brought down over on the far side of the field by Vince Costello, Bob Lertsema, and Jim Moran.

680
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:09,000
Lertsema and Moran, the defensive tackle for the Giants, and Vince Costello, middle linebacker.

681
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,000
So the ball is on the 41.

682
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,000
And it's second down and about seven to go.

683
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Second and seven Chicago with a ball on their own 41 yard line.

684
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,000
A pick up of three.

685
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,000
As they move out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage,

686
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Gordon splits out to the far side and Morris is flanked on the near side.

687
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,000
The tight end is Austin Denny, a rookie.

688
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Jekken Kellen calling the signals. He fades. There's a marker on the play.

689
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:36,000
There is a pass to Sairs. Sairs take it on about the fifth field stripe.

690
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,000
He carries it, tries to get it beyond the midfield stripe,

691
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:45,000
and he is dropped there on the far side of the field by Spider Lockhart and Vince Costello.

692
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:50,000
A short pass, Kankanen to Sairs. There is a marker on the play.

693
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,000
Yes, well, I think they were offside on that particular play.

694
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,000
It'll go against the Chicago Bears. Five yard penalty against the Giants.

695
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Against the Chicago Bears.

696
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,000
It's interesting to note, though, that Kankanen's not going for the deep pass.

697
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:07,000
He is going for just a short, mediocre pass. He's just hitting seven yards

698
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,000
and letting the receiver do the rest of it for him.

699
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,000
And he has two receivers that can do it.

700
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,000
He's sending Sairs out of the backfield.

701
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,000
Once he gets his hand on the ball, he can take off and make yardage for him.

702
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,000
And the same with Johnny Morris, who has done it so far in his four game, too.

703
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,000
So with that penalty, it is now second and 12, Dick.

704
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Number 45, Dick Gordon split on the far side.

705
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,000
The flanker back, Johnny Morris, wide on the near side.

706
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,000
There's the snap. The Kankanen rolls out.

707
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,000
He's looking for receivers. He tries to run.

708
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,000
The 45 worked.

709
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:39,000
Almost just got him out, but dropped on the 41 by Wendell Harris and Scott Eaton.

710
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:44,000
Jackson Kannon took the snap from center, looked for receivers,

711
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,000
decided to run with a football, picked up blocking, and picked up some real yardage.

712
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Right, Woody, that's very, very similar play that the New York Giants have with Rand Tarkin.

713
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,000
And it's the option pass. He can run it or he can throw the football.

714
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,000
That time he was looking for players coming across the middle of the field.

715
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Players were covered by Vince Costello, so he decided to run with it, and he made real fine yardage.

716
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,000
And as we pointed out, he has the ability to run.

717
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:12,000
He's a 9.9. He does the 9, the 100 in 9.9, so he's fast and he's big enough to take a beating when he gets tackled.

718
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Jimmy Jones has now replaced Johnny Morris at flanker back.

719
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,000
He's on the far side.

720
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,000
There is the snap that Kankanen, Kankanen gives the ball to Jones.

721
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,000
Jones picks up blocking, races along the near sideline,

722
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,000
and he is forced out of bounds on the near side of the field.

723
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,000
On about the 20-yard line, Vince Costello and Clarence Childs.

724
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Jimmy Jones went in the ball game at the flanker back position,

725
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,000
and then on the reverse took the ball from Kankanen.

726
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,000
Race to the near side. Dick?

727
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Right, Woody, and they were very lucky that time.

728
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Sayers started in motion just before the play, but his forward mo-

729
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,000
it wasn't a forward motion, it was a side.

730
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,000
As long as he's going away from the line of scrimmage, or lateral to it,

731
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,000
they're not going to call it.

732
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,000
So he did slip, but he slipped, he was going towards the side.

733
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,000
He took the ball from Kankanen, he hit and turned it off to Jones,

734
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,000
who made real fine yardage.

735
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,000
And so it is now first and 10 with the ball resting on about the 17 of the Giants.

736
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,000
Kankanen calling the signals.

737
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,000
He hands the ball off to Sayers.

738
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,000
Sayers is weak, gets to about the line of scrimmage.

739
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,000
He may have lost the yard on the play as he tried to turn the corner.

740
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:19,000
Scott Eaton stopped him, pushed him over to the far side of the field.

741
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Eaton assisted by Ken Avery.

742
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,000
The right linebacker, Scott Eaton left cornerback for the Giants.

743
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,000
There's a loss of about a yard or two on the play, Dick.

744
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Yes, Woody, that play actually was scheduled to go off tackle inside the offensive end.

745
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:39,000
And as Sayers, who had such magnificent speed in the sense of running,

746
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,000
he threw the hole with block, cut away on the outside,

747
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,000
and a fine tackle by Scott Eaton.

748
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,000
He tried outrun and he didn't.

749
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,000
Second and 11, second and 11 for the Chicago Bears.

750
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,000
Kankanen takes the snap from center. He rolls out.

751
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,000
He's looking for a receiver.

752
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,000
He's being rushed behind the line of scrimmage by Bob Lersema.

753
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:00,000
He dropped him back on the 35-yard line.

754
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,000
A correction.

755
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:07,000
I was watching Kankanen and the rush that was put on Kankanen by Kankanen and Lersema.

756
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,000
And in the meantime, Kankanen connects with Austin Denney.

757
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:17,000
Austin Denney, 62, 229 pounds, a rookie.

758
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,000
And Kankanen is down, back on about the 35-yard line.

759
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Well, that was a scramble pattern, Woody.

760
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,000
It was the same play that Kankanen ran before.

761
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:31,000
Instead of throwing the ball, he ran with the ball the first time.

762
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,000
This time, instead of running, he stopped and looked for a passing receiver.

763
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Denney was covered at the time, and he scrambled and went on back and pissed

764
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,000
as he was about to be tackled.

765
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,000
He got rid of the football and made a complete two-denny.

766
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,000
It would give him still four yards to go.

767
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,000
But in the meantime, Kankanen was hit very hard by Jim Tadcarriz.

768
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,000
A free, legitimate tackle, and Kankanen right now is on the ground.

769
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,000
He's being attended to by the position.

770
00:51:55,000 --> 00:52:01,000
So if he's hurt, you might see quite a different football game in there

771
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,000
with Rudy Bukic.

772
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,000
It's Rudy Bukic.

773
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,000
That's him in the football game.

774
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000
He's a boy that can throw the football.

775
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,000
If he has time to throw it, he can pinpoint anybody.

776
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:15,000
It looks like Bukic is coming out on the field, too.

777
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Kankanen is going to stay in the ball game.

778
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:25,000
It looked for a moment that, as though Larry Rake's draw would replace Kankanen,

779
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,000
but Kankanen shakes him off.

780
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,000
And so, as Dick has told you, it is third and four on that pass completion

781
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,000
from Jack Kankanen to Austin Denny.

782
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Denny went into this ball game, and he had one reception.

783
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,000
He had been thrown to 11 times and had only one reception.

784
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,000
He's a rookie.

785
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,000
Out of the huddle, up to the line of scrimmage, the Chicago Bears,

786
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,000
number 47, Johnny Morris back in the ball game.

787
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,000
He's flanked out on the far side.

788
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,000
Dick Gordon split on the near side.

789
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,000
There's the snap.

790
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,000
Kankanen, he decides to run with the football,

791
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,000
heads to the far side of the field, and he's brought down back on about

792
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,000
the 15-yard line by Bill Swain,

793
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,000
Swain the left linebacker for the New York Giants.

794
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Kankanen looked for open receivers, couldn't find them,

795
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,000
and he rolled out to the far side, brought down on the 15-yard line

796
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,000
by Bill Swain.

797
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:23,000
So it's brought down for the Chicago Bears, fourth and seventh.

798
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,000
With the ball resting on the 15-yard line,

799
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,000
Mack Percival will try now for the field goal.

800
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,000
The ball will be held on about the 22.

801
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,000
There's the snap to hold the boost.

802
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,000
It is blocked.

803
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:40,000
Freeman White blocks the attempted field goal by Mack Percival.

804
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,000
And so the score remains seven for the New York Giants,

805
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,000
nothing for the Bears.

806
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,000
We have nine minutes and 40 seconds of playing time remaining

807
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,000
in the first half of this football game.

808
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,000
Seven to nothing, the Giants over the Bears.

809
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,000
Right, Woody, and that's exactly why they put in Freeman White

810
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,000
in this situation.

811
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,000
He is big, he's fast, and he gets in there real good.

812
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,000
He comes down, crashing outside their blocking backs,

813
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,000
and just stretches out.

814
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,000
You can see what they put him in there for,

815
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,000
and he did a fine job that time.

816
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,000
Homer Jones, good on the far side,

817
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Shopner flanked on the near side, the running back,

818
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,000
triplet, and Fredrickson.

819
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Tarkinen calling the signals at quarterback.

820
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,000
There's a marker on the play.

821
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,000
Tarkinen, a long pass intended downfield for Homer Jones.

822
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
It is incomplete.

823
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,000
There's a marker on the play.

824
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Curtis Gentry was covering Homer Jones.

825
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,000
Gentry is the right quarterback.

826
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,000
He has been assigned to Homer Jones.

827
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,000
There are two markers, one down on about the five-yard line,

828
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:36,000
and one that one in Giants territory,

829
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,000
and one at around the midfield strike.

830
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,000
Well, Woody, I think what happened there,

831
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,000
first of all, Chicago was offside.

832
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,000
Butkus tried to rush in in the middle.

833
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:48,000
He was picked up right away by Greg Larson.

834
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,000
But in the meantime, as Homer was going downfield,

835
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,000
the referee threw the flag against Homer,

836
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,000
saying that he pushed the defender.

837
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Actually, from where I was looking,

838
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,000
it looked the other way, but the referee knows better, of course.

839
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,000
It is calling a penalty against the Giants

840
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:05,000
and a penalty against the Chicago Bears.

841
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,000
I believe that they were offside, so if that's the case,

842
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,000
it'll be offsetting penalties,

843
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,000
and we'll take it right from the start, first down again.

844
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Baltimore scored 14 points in the second quarter.

845
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,000
They lead 35-0 over Atlanta.

846
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,000
San Francisco 14-3 over Washington.

847
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,000
That's the second quarter score.

848
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:26,000
Nothing to nothing, Pittsburgh and St. Louis.

849
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,000
The New York Giants leading by 7,

850
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,000
9 minutes and 14 seconds of playing time

851
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:34,000
remaining in the first half of this football game.

852
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:38,000
Offsetting penalties, Dick, as you called it.

853
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:42,000
No, actually, Woody, it's not an offsetting penalty.

854
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:46,000
They are calling offensive interference against the Giants,

855
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,000
so it puts them back six yards,

856
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:52,000
half distance to the goal line, which is six yards further.

857
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Now there's a step to Fran Tugend,

858
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000
and Tugend hands the ball off to Tucker Frederiksen.

859
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Frederiksen carries the ball into the near side of the line,

860
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,000
and he is stopped by Frank Cornish, the defensive tackle,

861
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:07,000
and Dick Budkis, middle linebacker for the Chicago Bears.

862
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,000
Jim Purnell leaves the ball game, and Joe Taylor goes in,

863
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:15,000
and that means the Chicago Bears are going to five defensive hotbacks.

864
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,000
Right, and when they've done this in the past now,

865
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,000
talking in is come on and try to hit Del Schauffner,

866
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,000
also a man who might be open in this situation,

867
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:26,000
since they will have two men on Homer Jones, will be Aaron Thomas.

868
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,000
Second and 14 for the New York Giants as they line up at the line of scrimmage.

869
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,000
Tuckenden calling the signals over the ball at center, Greg Larsen.

870
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,000
There's the snap to Tuckenden.

871
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,000
He hands the ball off.

872
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:40,000
There's a sweep, attempted and stopped over on the far side of the field

873
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,000
by number 46, Curtis Gentry.

874
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:47,000
Tucker Frederiksen attempted a sweep around the far side of the Chicago Bears line,

875
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:51,000
and right cornerback, Curtis Gentry, stopped him.

876
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:55,000
So it's third down for the New York Giants, third and 15.

877
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Eight minutes and five seconds of playing time remaining

878
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,000
in the first half of the football game.

879
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,000
Seven and nothing.

880
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:06,000
The Giants scored early in the contest on a lateral from Fran Tuckenden to Darrell Dett.

881
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,000
Out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage, the New York Giants.

882
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,000
Fran Tuckenden is calling the signals for the New York Giants.

883
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,000
The running backs are Frederiksen and Triplett.

884
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,000
Tuckenden takes the snap from center.

885
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,000
He rolls back into the end zone.

886
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:26,000
There is a pass intended on the near side of the field for Aaron Thomas, incomplete.

887
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,000
And almost intercepted, Woody.

888
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,000
That time Fetterboe and it came up on the football.

889
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,000
He left Aaron Thomas go and made the move for the football,

890
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,000
but he was just a little bit too late.

891
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Would have been a fine interception and put the Bears in great position,

892
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,000
but now the Giants are kicking from their end zone.

893
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:44,000
They have the wind at their backs, so that's a real good factor.

894
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,000
But don't forget who's going to be down here trying to catch the football is Gale Sayers,

895
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,000
and you know what he can do when he has the football in his hand.

896
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:55,000
First period score, Dick. Dallas 7, New Orleans 7.

897
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:59,000
Here at Wrigley Field, the New York Giants are leading 7-0, I think.

898
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,000
The Giants in punt formation. Back to do the booting is Ernie Coy.

899
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,000
There's the snap from center.

900
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:13,000
It's a low pass by Greg Larson taken on about the 43-yard line by number 47 for the Chicago Bears.

901
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,000
And there is a marker on the play.

902
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Again, what I think we're going to call unnecessary roughness at that time.

903
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:24,000
On the New York Giants, they piled in on that receiver as he was kicking the football,

904
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:28,000
so the Giants are eager certainly to get back these boys down,

905
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,000
but if they're over eager, it's going to cost them.

906
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:34,000
That's the second penalty against the New York Giants, second 15-yard penalty.

907
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,000
The Bears now are in excellent position.

908
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,000
They're on the 20-yard line in real good field position,

909
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,000
but the Giants defensive team has prevented them from scoring.

910
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Let's see if they can do it again.

911
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,000
So the ball is on the 20-yard line of the New York Giants.

912
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Johnny Morris caught that punt off the toe of Ernie Coy.

913
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,000
Contenta takes the snap from center. He hands the ball off the stairs.

914
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:56,000
There is a attempt to sweep.

915
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:01,000
He's forced out of bounds over on the far side of the field by left cornerback Scott Eaton,

916
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:06,000
who is back in the Giants lineup and doing a great job for the New York Giants against these Chicago Bears,

917
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,000
particularly against Gale Sayers, Dick.

918
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:09,000
Right, Woody.

919
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:16,000
On the entire line, though, also I'd like to point out that they're pursuing Gale Sayers just as much as Avery, Costello, and Twain.

920
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:21,000
That whole line, Condon, Lertremer, Moran, Katavich, they were right down there step-to-step with Gale Sayers.

921
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,000
So they are pursuing and they're doing an excellent job.

922
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,000
There was a loss of about a yard, makes it second and 11.

923
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Larry Rake-Straw goes in the ballgame at quarterback, replacing Jack Conkennen.

924
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,000
There is the snap to Rake-Straw.

925
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:42,000
The ball handed off to Sayers. Sayers moves into the near side of the line and he is stopped by Ken Avery.

926
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:46,000
Rake-Straw, the quarterback, took the snap from center, handed it off to Sayers.

927
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:53,000
Sayers attempted a slant to the near side of the line and he is brought down and I believe there's a loss on the play, Dick.

928
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:59,000
Right, another loss, Woody, and once again it's the pursuit of that line, that defensive line of the Giants.

929
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:05,000
Condon, Lertremer, Moran, Katavich, they're coming right down, giving them no running room, no room to cut back,

930
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:12,000
and fine play that time by Avery who knocked the Rayball right down and enabled him to get in and make the tackle on Sayers.

931
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:13,000
And he pulled him right down.

932
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Jimmy Johns replaces Johnny Morris as flankerback.

933
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,000
He is the man who carried on that reverse.

934
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:23,000
Rake-Straw fakes the handoff. There's a pass over to the far side of the field to number 29, Ronnie Boren.

935
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Rake-Straw takes it in.

936
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,000
Rake-Straw on a play-action sequence.

937
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,000
Found Ronnie Boren over on the far side of the field.

938
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:39,000
Boren caught the pass and carried him along the far sideline for the touchdown.

939
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Right, Woody, what happened actually, Ronnie Boren, he's a smart veteran, he lost himself in the Giants secondary back there.

940
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Actually, his responsibility had to be by one of the Giants linebackers, they lost him as Condon went to run with the football,

941
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,000
and he sprinted out into the right flat all by himself.

942
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:00,000
Three plays that time, 20 yards, three plays, touchdown.

943
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:06,000
There's the extra point, folks, it is good, and so it's seven for the Chicago Bears, seven for the New York Giants,

944
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:10,000
five minutes and 52 seconds of playing time remaining in the first half.

945
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:16,000
We'll have more New York Giants football in just 60 seconds.

946
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,000
So, just three plays from the Giants 20-yard line.

947
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,000
The Chicago Bears are on the scoreboard.

948
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:24,000
It's tied now, seven to seven, seven for the Bears, seven for the Giants, the kickoff and Woody Erdman.

949
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:28,000
An end over end kick that heads over to the far side of the field.

950
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:37,000
Lerczema takes it, carries it back past the 20-yard line up to about the 25-yard line, just shy of the 25-yard line,

951
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:42,000
and it is first and 10 for the New York Giants, just shy of their own 25-yard line.

952
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:47,000
We have five minutes and 42 seconds of playing time remaining in the first half of the football game.

953
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:52,000
Seven to seven, the Giants scored in the first period, and the Chicago Bears have just scored.

954
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:57,000
Homer Jones out on the far side, Joe Schaffner flanked on the near side.

955
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:03,000
There is a snap from center, the ball handed off to Triplet, Triplet into the near side of the line.

956
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:08,000
He picks up about a yard on the play, and he's stopped there by Richie Fettibone and Dick Putkus.

957
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:14,000
Putkus, the middle linebacker for the Bears, and Fettibone, strong safetyman.

958
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:20,000
There's a pick up of about a yard, makes it second and about nine.

959
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:28,000
Joe Taylor goes in the ball game, replacing Jim Purnell, and so the Chicago Bears are back in the use of five defensive halfbacks.

960
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:33,000
Schaffner on the near side, Homer Jones had split end, moved in on the far side, the tight end is Aaron Thomas.

961
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Tuckenden takes the handoff. The ball is knocked out of his hand and hitter, something by Frank Cornish.

962
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:51,000
Tuckenden actually had his arm hit as he passed the ball, and as the ball bobbled in the air, Frank Cornish tucked it in,

963
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:58,000
and the Chicago Bears are now in possession of the football on the New York Giants' 19-yard line.

964
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:03,000
All right, Woody, and as he was trying to throw the ball, he was trying to hit Bill Trippett, who was straightening up the middle of the field.

965
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:08,000
He had his man beaten, and that's the linebacker who was trying to cover him that time, but he had him beaten,

966
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:13,000
and as Tuckenden went to release it, of course, he fell right into the arms of Cornish.

967
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:18,000
Okay, Dicklin, Gordon, split on the far side, Morris, flanked on the near side.

968
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:25,000
There's the step to Rake draw, Rake draw hands off the ball, and it's carried into the near side of the line by Gail Stairs.

969
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,000
Gail Stairs on tremendous second effort.

970
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:37,000
After bouncing off the near side of the New York Giants' line, carried the Giants with him for several additional yards.

971
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:41,000
Spider Lockhart finally made the tackle.

972
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Gail Stairs, 6 feet tall, 198, and one of the truly great players in the National Football League.

973
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,000
There's a penalty down there on the field, however.

974
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:56,000
Offside's Woody against the Bears. They were a little late at that time themselves, and one of the boys were offside.

975
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:02,000
The nullify is a fine effort by Gail Stairs, but you know him, he'll come right back and do the same thing again.

976
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:07,000
Five-yard penalty against the Chicago Bears, as Dicklin just told you.

977
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:11,000
Number 47, Johnny Morris, back in the ballgame. He's flanked out on the far side.

978
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:16,000
On the near side, Dick Gordon has split in. The ball handed off to Brian Piccolo.

979
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:22,000
Piccolo hits the far side of the New York Giants' line, carries the ball to about the 20 or 21-yard line.

980
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:27,000
Piccolo replaced Stairs in the lineup in the backfield for the Chicago Bears.

981
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:34,000
The way they've been sweeping these ends and coming, and the giant linebackers end the halfback coming up to meet it very well,

982
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:38,000
they do have, as we pointed out before the ballgame, they do have the ability to throw that pass,

983
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:42,000
and we might see that option pass in one of these downs now.

984
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:49,000
So it's second and 12. Second and 12 Chicago, Jimmy Jones replaces Austin Denney as tight end for the Bears.

985
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:56,000
Rake Straw calling the signals. He fades into the pocket. There is a pass to the near side, and it is good.

986
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Completed to Jimmy Jones. Jones, who just entered the ballgame, replacing Austin Denney, as we mentioned,

987
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:07,000
was on the near side of the field. Rake Straw was being pulled down, and as he was being pulled down,

988
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:13,000
he passed to the near side of the field. Now they're going to call for a measurement.

989
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:20,000
That's close to a first down. They're going to call for a measurement.

990
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:27,000
And so that ball is on about the 7-yard line. The first down, first down, Chicago.

991
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:32,000
First and goal to go. Seven to seven, it's all tied up.

992
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:37,000
The Giants scored in the first quarter. The Chicago Bears have scored once in the second period,

993
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,000
and the Giants, having had an interception, the ball is on the 8-yard line.

994
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:50,000
An interception has given the Bears possession of the football, and they are now knocking on the scoring door.

995
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:54,000
Rake Straw calling the signals for the Bears. Takes the stop from center.

996
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:58,000
Hands the ball off. It's carried into the line by Sayers, back in the ballgame.

997
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:04,000
He's picked up a couple, and he's dropped on about the 5 by Spiderlock Hard and Kenny Bree.

998
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:09,000
So it's second and goal to go for the Bears. Seven to seven, it's all tied up.

999
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:16,000
Two minutes and 48 seconds of playing time remaining in the first half of this contest.

1000
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:22,000
Second and six, the ball on the 6. Second and six, two minutes and 35 seconds of playing time remaining.

1001
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Out of the huddle, up to the line of scrimmage, the Chicago Bears.

1002
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,000
Number 45, Dick Gordon, split on the far side.

1003
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,000
Number 47, Johnny Morris, flanked out on the near side.

1004
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:35,000
The running back, Sayers and Ron Bull. Rake Straw calling the signals.

1005
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:38,000
There's the stop from center. The ball handed off to Sayers.

1006
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:43,000
Sayers tries to slant into the near side of the line, and he has stopped on about the line of scrimmage

1007
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:50,000
by Spiderlock Hard and Vince Costello. So it will be third and six. No game. Third and six.

1008
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:57,000
And the New York Giants have been able to put on tremendous stands against the onrushes of Gale, Sayers,

1009
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:00,000
and Ron Bull so far in this football game.

1010
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:08,000
So there's a timeout here at Wrigley Field with a score, the New York Giants seven and the Chicago Bears seven.

1011
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:13,000
Here at Wrigley Field in Chicago, the Chicago Bears knocking on the door of the Giants goal line once again.

1012
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:18,000
The ball is on the six yard line. It is third down and goal to go with a minute and 58 seconds remaining

1013
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,000
in the first half of the ball game. The score tied at the moment.

1014
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:26,000
New York Giants seven and the Chicago Bears seven. The Bears come out of their huddle here to tell you about the action.

1015
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:31,000
Woody Erdman, Morris planks out on the far side. Gordon is on the near side.

1016
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:37,000
Number 87, Obradovich, is on the near side. He has replaced Nick Gordon.

1017
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:41,000
Obradovich, a defensive lineman, in there to supply some blocking.

1018
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:50,000
There's a pass in the end zone for Johnny Horace. Horace came over from his position on the far side of the field,

1019
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:55,000
went into the end zone on a 45 degree angle, and as he went under the goal post,

1020
01:07:55,000 --> 01:08:00,000
Rick Saw hit him and hit him good on the line. He didn't even have to change his side.

1021
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,000
No, and that's where he's real fine down there Woody. He's very dangerous on those short passes.

1022
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:09,000
A quick down and in. Rick Saw just stepped back around three steps and threw it right in there.

1023
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,000
He threw a perfect pass and he had to start eating deep.

1024
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:19,000
Touchdown Chicago Bears. And now the try for the extra point. There's the hole, the post, and it's good.

1025
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:24,000
And so it is. 14 for the Chicago Bears, 7 for the New York Giants.

1026
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:32,000
There's a pause in the action here at Wrigley Field in Chicago, and we will have more New York Giants football in just 30 seconds.

1027
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:39,000
Wrigley Field in Chicago, the kickoff by Percival, the reception by Randy Minier.

1028
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:49,000
Minier carries it up the near side of the field up to about the 25 yard line, and it will be first and 10 for the New York Giants on their own 25.

1029
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:53,000
We have a minute and 45 seconds of playing time remaining in the first half.

1030
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:59,000
Right, and this fair defense is really stiffening Woody. In the second quarter, the Giants have not had a first down.

1031
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Out of the huddle up to the line, it's coming to the New York Giants. Shopped a flank on the far side.

1032
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:10,000
Homer Jones split on the near side. A long pass intended for Aaron Thomas off his fingertips. Incomplete.

1033
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:16,000
So the clock stops, and we have a minute and 29 seconds of playing time remaining in the first half.

1034
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:21,000
Other scores. San Francisco 14, Washington 3, second period.

1035
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:26,000
Second period, Baltimore 35, Atlanta nothing. First quarter, Dallas 7, New Orleans 7.

1036
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:29,000
First quarter, Pittsburgh nothing, St. Louis nothing.

1037
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:33,000
One minute and 29 seconds of playing time remaining in the second quarter.

1038
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:37,000
The ball on the 25 yard line. The New York Giants in possession.

1039
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:43,000
Chicago is leading. They've scored 14 points in the second quarter. The Giants scored seven in the first period.

1040
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:50,000
Over the ball at center is Greg Larson. There's the snap to Tarkin. Tarkin fakes the handoff. Rolls off to the far side.

1041
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:58,000
A pass taken by Frank Cornich. Cornich races along the far sideline and he is out of bounds.

1042
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:04,000
Frank Cornich actually looked like he was the intended receiver.

1043
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:11,000
In order to stop targeting, what they're doing, they're not rushing it back there. They're letting Cornich just stay back in the short flat zone on the outside.

1044
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:16,000
The targeting went in and threw the football. Cornich stuck his right hand out and caught that ball. One hand.

1045
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:23,000
Just a great catch by Lyman. It's really amazing. It puts the Bears right in a fantastic position.

1046
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:30,000
So it is now first and 10 for Chicago as they have another scoring opportunity with a minute and 19 seconds of playing time remaining in the first half.

1047
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:37,000
Great draw. A pass intended in the end zone for number 45 Dick Gordon. Bill Swain almost intercepted it.

1048
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:44,000
He couldn't hold onto it, however, and he's not pleased with himself for having been unable to hold onto that football.

1049
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:55,000
But it's incomplete and so the ball is brought back now to the 15 yard line and it will be second and 10 for Chicago on the Giants that make it the 14.

1050
01:10:55,000 --> 01:11:05,000
Right, Woody. Down here once again a very valuable receiver for the Chicago Bears and that would have to be Johnny Morris and that's a boy we'll have to really keep our eyes on.

1051
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:10,000
Johnny Morris, the flanker back. Number 29 Ron Bull out on the wing now as he's moved out.

1052
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:16,000
The split end is Dick Gordon. Great draw. He's the quarterback. He gives the ball to Serr. Serr on a sweep around the near end.

1053
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:24,000
There's a marker and Serr is brought down on about the 10 yard line by Clarence Child. A sweep by Gail Serr.

1054
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:32,000
There is a marker on the field, however. And a discussion down there.

1055
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:45,000
14 to 7. The Chicago Bears are leading the New York Giants and the Bears are in possession of the football. The second interception of a Tarkin and pass by Frank Cornish.

1056
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:55,000
As for the second time in this period, given the football to the Chicago Bears and made it available to them deep in Giants territory.

1057
01:11:55,000 --> 01:12:09,000
The ball is on about the 10 yard line on the Giants' 10. It's a first and goal to go situation with the ball resting on the shy side of the 10.

1058
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:15,000
Make it first and nine. Chicago in possession of the football. Great draw calling the signals.

1059
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:25,000
The quarterback for Chicago takes the snap from center, hands it off to Serr. Serr is on the plant to the far side of the line. Carries it down to just shy of the goal line.

1060
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:36,000
Wendell Harris and Bob Lertz-Semma team up. Bob Lertz-Semma defensive tackle on the right side of the line. And Wendell Harris strong safety.

1061
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:46,000
Well I said, very famous play for the Chicago Bears. It's an off tackle play and Gale Sayers carrying and they had fine blocking that time. They go and get stuff down there. They give the ball to the Bears.

1062
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:55,000
It has the power, what if you break these tackles. He did carry it in there very, very neatly and with a lot of power, brought it right to the three yard line.

1063
01:12:55,000 --> 01:13:02,000
It puts the Bears out second down three yards to go. A minute and seven seconds on the clock. They have plenty of time to score.

1064
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:08,000
One minute and seven seconds of playing time remaining in the first half of this game and the Bears are leading 14 to 7.

1065
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:17,000
Next week the Giants are at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Yankee Stadium. One minute and seven seconds of playing time remaining in the second quarter.

1066
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:25,000
The Bears are in possession as Dick Lynch has told you. It is second and goal to go with a ball on the three yard line.

1067
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:32,000
The forward wall now for the Chicago Bears. Obradovich has gone into the ball game replacing Dick Gordon.

1068
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:42,000
Randy Jackson, Mike Rayball, Mike Piles, Jim Padel, Bob Pickens and Austin Denny.

1069
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:56,000
You might wonder why they bring in Obradovich. It is the same reason why the Giants bring in Bob Crespino. Bob is big and strong and he can block very well. Obradovich weighs about 270 pounds and he can block very well also.

1070
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:00,000
That is why they put him in there at the tight end position. Just to block.

1071
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:07,000
As they move out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage, Obradovich is on the near side. He has moved in replacing Dick Gordon.

1072
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:12,000
The back to the Bears and Ron Ball. Rake Straw calling the signal. The ball is on the three yard line.

1073
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:20,000
There is the snap and the handoff to the Bears. The Bears carries it in the near side of the line. I believe he is stopped shy of the goal line.

1074
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,000
He carries it to about the one yard line.

1075
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:30,000
And that time Woody they went right behind Obradovich who just bowled in right in on Glenn Condren in the scrimmage.

1076
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:38,000
But they were strong enough to withstand that great pressure and they held him short of the goal line. But they are right down on the one yard line now.

1077
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:42,000
Third and one for the Chicago Bears.

1078
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:50,000
Time out New York Giants. It is third and one for the Chicago Bears. We have 38 seconds of playing time remaining in the first half.

1079
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:54,000
And while we have time out on the field, time ends at high.

1080
01:14:54,000 --> 01:15:03,000
Okay Woody I just want to remind our listeners again that they may win many valuable prizes we will be giving away starting next week here on our Giants Radio Network.

1090
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:52,000
Time is back in. Here to tell you about the crucial player with the ball on the one yard line of the Giants, Woody Erdman.

1091
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:56,000
Spider-Lock hardly the ball game he limped off and he is replaced by Freeman White.

1092
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,000
Johnny Morris is flanked out on the far side.

1093
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:05,000
Calling the signal, Larry Rake draw. There's the snap, the dive, it's a touchdown.

1094
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,000
Touchdown Chicago Bears.

1095
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:12,000
They have had quite a second quarter.

1096
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:17,000
So far 20 points scored by the Bears in this second period.

1097
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:26,000
Right and it was all due to the effort of that Chicago Bears defensive team and in particular Frank Cornish who's having himself a real fine day here today.

1098
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:32,000
Two interceptions by Frank Cornish have led to two touchdowns by the Chicago Bears.

1099
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,000
Max Percival will try for the extra points.

1100
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:39,000
Over the ball at center is Mike Pyle. There's the snap from center, the hold.

1101
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:49,000
It is no good. It is wide to the near side and so the score remains 20 for the Chicago Bears, 7 for the New York Giants.

1102
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:54,000
We have 35 seconds of playing time remaining in the second quarter.

1103
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:59,000
All right Woody, let's check our scoreboard now as the Bears get ready to kick off to the Giants.

1104
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:04,000
At the end of the first half Baltimore is way out in front of Atlanta by a score of 35 to nothing.

1105
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:10,000
Another halftime score the San Francisco 49ers 14 to Washington Redskins 3.

1106
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:18,000
At the end of a period Dallas and New Orleans are tied at 7 to 7 and at the end of the period of the game between Pittsburgh and St. Louis there is no score.

1107
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:24,000
And here at Wrigley Field in Chicago in what Woody Yardman has just told you is a big second quarter for the Chicago Bears.

1108
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:33,000
They've scored 20 points in the quarter to lead the New York Giants with just 35 seconds to go in the first half to score the Bears 20 and the Giants 7.

1109
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Now here's first before kicking off for the Bears here to tell you about it Woody Yardman.

1110
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:42,000
There is the boot, it's a high end over end kick that is taken by Clarence Childs.

1111
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:53,000
It picks up blocking, races up the middle of the field, gets past the 20 up to about the 25 yard line and it will be first and 10 for the New York Giants on their own 25 yard line.

1112
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:57,000
We have 31 seconds of playing time remaining in the first half.

1113
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:03,000
The Chicago Bears have scored 20 points in the second quarter, they lead 20 to 7.

1114
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:13,000
And so the New York Giants with 20 seconds remaining of this first half, step the ball back to Tarkin and Tarkin and a long pass to Homer Jones out of bounds incomplete.

1115
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:19,000
And so it stops the clock and 16 seconds remain on the scoreboard.

1116
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:28,000
And he's trying to hit Homer then and once again they have two men, two very fast men Taylor and Gentry right on Homer.

1117
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:31,000
And they're playing them inside and outside and short and long.

1118
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:40,000
So it's going to be tough to hit Homer Jones, two very very fast men who can probably match him with speed and it's going to be tough to get the ball to Homer Jones.

1119
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:47,000
And I think Jeff Rannell will have to look to Aaron Thomas or Del Schaffner if he's going to try to get a reception here.

1120
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:51,000
Tarkin then takes the staff from center. There is a pass intended for Triplet.

1121
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:55,000
It falls out of his hands, actually goes through his hands.

1122
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,000
Pass intended for Triplet.

1123
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:05,000
Triplet short pass over the line, reached his arms out, tried to get his hands on the football, could not hold it.

1124
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:09,000
It was thrown hard by Tarkin then and went right through.

1125
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:14,000
Triplet's hands incomplete. Third and tenth. Third and tenth.

1126
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:21,000
We have 12 seconds of playing time remaining on the clock and the Giants are down by 13 points, 20 to 7.

1127
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:26,000
Schaffner planks on the near side. Homer Jones split on the far side. The tight end is Aaron Thomas.

1128
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:40,000
Tarkin then takes the staff from center, hands it off to Triplet. Triplet on the sweep around the near end gets to the 35 and he's dropped there by Richie Pettibone, the strong safetyman, and Dick Butkus, the middle linebacker for the Chicago Bears.

1129
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:50,000
So we have five seconds of playing time remaining on the clock. Time for one more play and it's 20 to 7. Chicago out front.

1130
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:58,000
First and tenth for the New York Giants on their own 35 yard line. Chicago leading 20 to 7.

1131
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:05,000
Now this scores second quarter, 35 Baltimore, Atlanta nothing. San Francisco 14, Washington 3.

1132
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:09,000
No score in the game between Philadelphia and Los Angeles being played on the coast.

1133
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:14,000
In the first quarter Detroit nothing, Minnesota nothing.

1134
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:18,000
And now the New York Giants drop at the line of scrimmage. Tarkin then takes the staff from center.

1135
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:23,000
The ball is handed off, carried toward the far side of the field by Bill Triplet.

1136
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:30,000
And I believe that is all the time that remains in the first half of the game. That's correct.

1137
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:36,000
We waited for just a moment because there was a second on the clock, but it was highly evident that the first half was over.

1138
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:47,000
And so at the completion of the first half of play here at Wrigley Field in Chicago, it is 20 for the Chicago Bears and 7 for the New York Giants.

1139
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:55,000
Meanwhile I see that the Giants have come back on the field over across the way prior to the start of second half play at Wrigley Field.

1140
01:20:55,000 --> 01:21:03,000
And as we get underway in the second half it's going to be the Giants kicking off to the Bears who already hold the lead of 20 to 7.

1141
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:10,000
The great cheer here going up is one of the youngsters who had a long kick of about 60 yards.

1142
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:19,000
So there's a young man there who's going to make a good college football player and probably he also will go on to play professional football.

1143
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:27,000
20 to 7 the Bears over the Giants here at halftime at Wrigley Field as we're getting near the end of the halftime program,

1144
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:37,000
which at the moment as we said is being taken up by participants in a punt pass and kick program for the Midwestern area here at Chicago.

1145
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:50,000
We have just a few seconds now the youngsters are leaving the field and we'll be gunning underway with second half play very, very shortly here at Wrigley Field.

1146
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:54,000
Well the teams are back on the field for the second half of today's game.

1147
01:21:54,000 --> 01:22:00,000
This half presented by Agway, complete supplier of products for farm and home.

1148
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:12,000
By Mohawk Airlines now featuring its great travel value, weekends unlimited, and by Lowe's fabulous New Summit Motel in the heart of New York City.

1149
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:19,000
Remember the Laurel New York Giants football radio broadcasts are heard exclusively in your area on the station to which you're now tuned.

1150
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:29,000
Follow the Giants that moment away this season at this same spot on your radio dial.

1151
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:37,000
And as we speak to you here in Chicago, the fans have returned to their seats following refreshment time during the halftime intermission

1152
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:43,000
and the Bears and Giants pulled back on the field prior to the second half kickoff as we said a moment ago.

1153
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:49,000
The Giants will be kicking off to the Bears as they begin the third quarter of play with the Bears out in front of the Giants 20 to nothing.

1154
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:56,000
The Giants in case they joined us late scored the first time they got their hands on the ball, took the opening kickoff and in the 65 yard mark,

1155
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:02,000
capped the drive with a lateral pass thrown by quarterback Grant Tarkin sent to Darrell Dess who carried the ball into the end zone for the touchdown.

1156
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:07,000
Volta Lacks conversion to depth was good. The Giants led 7-0 early in the first quarter.

1157
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:15,000
They moved to within the five yard line of the Bears later on in the period but then the Bears stiffened on their defense and threw three pass interceptions

1158
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:22,000
which set up these scoring opportunities towards three touchdowns in the second quarter of play and lead the Giants 20 to 7.

1159
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:29,000
Now Pete Zolgelak is placing the ball on the 40 yard line with the Giants. He'll be kicking off.

1160
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:35,000
Matt Haggerty, the referee, signals that everything's okay. Here comes Zolgelak, the kick and Woody Erdman.

1161
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:48,000
It's the short kick that's taken over on the far side of the field back on about the 30 yard line carried along the far side line up to about the 42 or 43 yard line

1162
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:58,000
by Charlie Brown, defensive back, 6'1", 193 pounds and he is a name familiar to the listeners of our Syracuse University football network.

1163
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:05,000
He's in his second year with the Chicago Bears. He starred as a defensive back for the Big Orange Syracuse.

1164
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:13,000
So it is first and 10 for the Chicago Bears and the ball is on their own 43 yard line.

1165
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:17,000
There's the snap to Rake Straw. Rake Straw hands it off the stairs. There's a sweep around the near end.

1166
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:25,000
He gets up to the midfield stripe, crosses the midfield stripe and on the near side of the field is brought down on about the 47 yard line.

1167
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:34,000
There's a marker on the play. Gale Sayers carried that ball on a sweep around the near end.

1168
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:41,000
He picked up yardage but there is a marker on the play and it looks like a penalty will be stepped off against the Chicago Bears.

1169
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:47,000
And it looks like a big one, Woody. It's a 15 yard penalty. I don't know exactly what the call is right now.

1170
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:53,000
The referee did not indicate it. Holding, offensive holding against the Chicago Bears.

1171
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:59,000
Note also in their backfield, in the Chicago Bear backfield, Rack Schroer is again the quarterback.

1172
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:05,000
So Jackson Cannon on the early in the second quarter when he was hit by Jim Catcavage is still unable to come back.

1173
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:08,000
So Rack Schroer is in there as quarterback.

1174
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:13,000
It is first and 25 as the Chicago Bears are out of the huddle up at the line of scrimmage.

1175
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:19,000
Calling the signals at quarterback is Larry Rake Straw. There's the snap to Rake Straw. He fades back.

1176
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:28,000
He's being rushed and he is tripped but regains his footing and gets past the 30 yard line up to about the 33

1177
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:32,000
where he is down on about the 33 yard line by Vince Costello.

1178
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:38,000
Glen Condren trips Rake Straw. It looks for a moment as though Rake Straw were going to drop.

1179
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:42,000
He gained his footing, picked up several yards and was finally down by Vince Costello.

1180
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:45,000
A pick up of five makes it second and 20.

1181
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:54,000
Also Woody in the backfield for the New York Giants, by the lock heart is not back on the field and in his place is Freeman White.

1182
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:59,000
Number 47 Johnny Morris flanked out on the far side. Dick Gordon split on the near side.

1183
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:02,000
Jimmy Jones has replaced Austin Jenney as the tight end.

1184
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:08,000
The ball snapped back to Rake Straw. He rolls out, intends to pass along the near sideline for Dick Gordon.

1185
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:12,000
The pass is overthrown going out of bounds and it is incomplete.

1186
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:16,000
So that makes it third and 20 for the Bears.

1187
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,000
The ball resting on about their wrong 33 yard line.

1188
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:23,000
13 minutes and 35 seconds of playing time remaining in the third period.

1189
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:26,000
It is 20 to 7, the Bears out front.

1190
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:31,000
Other football scores in the National Football League, 21 for San Francisco, 17 for Washington.

1191
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:37,000
21 to 17, San Francisco over the skins of Washington.

1192
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:40,000
Out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage, the Chicago Bears.

1193
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:44,000
Larry Rake Straw, the quarterback. He has replaced Jackson Cannon.

1194
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:47,000
Did so on the first half. Over the ball at center is Mike Pyle.

1195
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:51,000
There's the snap from center to Rake Straw. He fades. He's being rushed by Lurch Semma.

1196
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:54,000
There is a screen pass over to the far side of the field. It is good.

1197
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:59,000
Carried out of bounds on about the 40 yard line. Good to Ron Bull.

1198
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Clarence Childs forces him out of bounds over on the far side of the field.

1199
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:06,000
Ronnie Bull, 6 feet tall, 200 pounds.

1200
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:11,000
A 6 year veteran.

1201
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:14,000
And so that makes it fourth down and about 12 to go.

1202
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:17,000
There was a pick up of 8.

1203
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:20,000
Ball put on about the 41 yard line.

1204
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:25,000
And so the Chicago Bears will be forced to punt, fourth and 12.

1205
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:28,000
Back to do the booting is Bobby Joe Green.

1206
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:32,000
5'11", 175 pounds, an 8 year veteran.

1207
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:37,000
He has an average in 47 punts of 43.6 yards per punt.

1208
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:41,000
There is the boot. It was almost blocked.

1209
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:47,000
It bounds on about the 12 and rolls into the end zone.

1210
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:51,000
A real punt by Bobby Joe Green. It's bounded on about the 12.

1211
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,000
And the momentum carried the ball into the end zone.

1212
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:58,000
The Chicago Bears tried to prevent it but could not do so.

1213
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:01,000
And so it is taken out to the 20 yard line.

1214
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:05,000
And the Giants will be in possession of the football on their own 20.

1215
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:10,000
The running back for the New York Giants will be Bill Triplett and Tucker Frederickson

1216
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:13,000
as they have been during the course of the entire afternoon.

1217
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,000
Homer Jones, a split on the near side.

1218
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,000
Planked out on the far side is Del Schoffner.

1219
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:24,000
There is a snap to Tuckerman. Tuckerman hands it off to Bill Triplett. Triplett hits the far side of the line.

1220
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:31,000
And he picks up yardage where he is stopped finally by Richie Pettibone on about the 27 yard line.

1221
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:36,000
So there is a pick up of seven and makes the second down and about three to go.

1222
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:39,000
Tuckerman is doing a real fine job according to his plays, Woody, now.

1223
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:45,000
They have Dick Puckers blitzing an awful lot and he seems to be blitzing to the Giants left side of the line

1224
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:49,000
and running to his right side so to compensate for his blitz.

1225
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:52,000
Tuckerman took the snap from center, handed the ball off to Frederickson.

1226
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:57,000
Moved toward the center of the line. He was stopped at about the line of scrimmage by Frank Cornish.

1227
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:03,000
So it remains third and about two. Third and two.

1228
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:08,000
So there was a pick up of the yard on the play. Third and two.

1229
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:14,000
John Johnson replaces Dick Eby at defensive tackle for the Bears.

1230
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:17,000
On the far side of the field, Schoffner. He's the flanker back. The split end.

1231
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:21,000
Homer Jones on the near side. The running back to Triplett and Frederickson.

1232
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:26,000
There is a pitch out to Frederickson. Frederickson goes off tackle, gets to about the 30 yard line

1233
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:31,000
and he's dropped over on the far side of the field by Frank Cornish and Doug Buffon.

1234
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:36,000
Cornish, a defensive tackle. Buffon, the left line backer.

1235
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:43,000
So the ball is placed on about the 30 yard line.

1236
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:51,000
And makes it fourth down and about one. Fourth and about one.

1237
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:54,000
And the Giants are going to go for that first down.

1238
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:57,000
Yes they are. They're going to go for the first down. The Bears are there ticking the unit.

1239
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:02,000
The punt return unit is in there but now the regular defense team is in there.

1240
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:05,000
The New York Giants are out of the huddle up at the line of scrimmage.

1241
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:08,000
There's the snap from center. The hand to Triplett. Triplett picks up the yard.

1242
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:14,000
It gets to about the 33 or 34 and he's stopped on the 33 or 34 yard line by the Chicago Bears.

1243
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:19,000
Enough for a first down. The ball's placed on the shy side of the 34.

1244
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:23,000
So it's first and 10 New York Giants on their own 34 yard line.

1245
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:28,000
With a fourth and one situation, Fran Takenden elected to go for it.

1246
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,000
And they picked up more than enough yardage.

1247
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:35,000
Homer Jones split on the far side. Del Schafter flanked on the near side.

1248
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:39,000
He fakes the handoff to Fredericksson, does Takenden, gives it to Triplett.

1249
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:42,000
Triplett hits the near side of the line, gets to about the 40 yard line,

1250
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:47,000
and he's stopped there by Jim Purnell, the right linebacker, or the Chicago Bears.

1251
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:51,000
All this faking that you're talking about, what is actually happening out there in the field

1252
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:55,000
and why they're doing it is to contain Dix Buskis and get him to move one direction

1253
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:57,000
and come back so they can get the angle block on him.

1254
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:00,000
And they're running right up the middle and right through his outside.

1255
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:04,000
The reason they're doing it, the reason it's successful is because of his block.

1256
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:09,000
Second and six, Giants. Second and four, rather, a pick up of six.

1257
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:14,000
The ball handed off to Triplett. Triplett fakes the sweep, turns in,

1258
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:19,000
gets past the 40, up to about the 42, and he's stopped there by Frank Cornish.

1259
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:23,000
Triplett took a handoff from Takenden, fakes the sweep to the far side,

1260
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:29,000
moves in, and went into the far side of the line, carried the ball to the 42 yard line.

1261
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:34,000
So it makes it now third and two for the Giants. Third and two.

1262
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:37,000
Nine minutes and 55 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter,

1263
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:40,000
and the Bears are leading 20 to seven.

1264
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:43,000
Del Schauffner flanked out on the near side. Homer Jones moved in on the far side.

1265
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:47,000
The ball given to Fredrickson. Fredrickson into the middle, gets past the 45,

1266
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:51,000
up to about the 46 yard line, and that will be enough for a first down for the Giants.

1267
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:56,000
So it will be first and ten for the Giants on their own 46 yard line.

1268
01:31:56,000 --> 01:32:00,000
Tucker Fredrickson tearing on that pass play for the Giants.

1269
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:05,000
Nine minutes and 25 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter.

1270
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:07,000
Out of the huddle, up to the line of scrimmage, the Giants.

1271
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:10,000
Schauffner flanked out on the far side. Homer Jones flicked to the near side.

1272
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:14,000
Aaron Thomas is the tight end. Bill Triplett and Tucker Fredrickson are the running backs.

1273
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:19,000
Greg Larson the center. He steps it back to Takenden. Takenden gives the ball to Fredrickson.

1274
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:22,000
Fredrickson hits the near side of the line, gets to about the line of scrimmage,

1275
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:27,000
and he's stopped there by Jim Purnell and Dick Budkis.

1276
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:34,000
No game makes it second and ten. Eight minutes and 55 seconds of playing time remaining in the third period.

1277
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:40,000
The Bears now moving into the use of five defensive halfbacks as Joe Taylor replaces Jim Purnell.

1278
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:46,000
So the defensive halfbacks are Gentry, Rosie Taylor, Joe Taylor, Richie Pettibone, and Benny McCray.

1279
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:49,000
As the New York Giants move out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage,

1280
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:52,000
Schauffner is flanked out on the far side. Homer Jones on the near side.

1281
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:55,000
Takenden takes the snap from center, fakes a hand off to Fredrickson.

1282
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,000
Looks for a receiver. His receivers are covered.

1283
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:02,000
There is a long pass intended downfield for Homer Jones over on the far side of the field.

1284
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:10,000
It is incomplete. He was covered by Ed O'Bradovich.

1285
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:19,000
Incomplete, a pass intended for Homer Jones from Fran Takenden.

1286
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:23,000
And so the ball is brought back now to the 46-yard line.

1287
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:28,000
Eight minutes and 25 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter.

1288
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:32,000
Well, actually what's happening, Woody, with those two speed boys on Homer Jones,

1289
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:37,000
that time as Homer cut across the middle of the field, Rosie Taylor picked him up,

1290
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:41,000
and it was man to man and speed to speed, so the Giants are sort of like playing

1291
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:43,000
into the hands of the Chicago Bears.

1292
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:47,000
There's the snap to Takenden, Takenden fakes a pass over to the far side of the field,

1293
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:51,000
intended over there for Aaron Thomas. Incomplete.

1294
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:55,000
He was covered by Rosie Taylor.

1295
01:33:55,000 --> 01:34:02,000
And so it's fourth and ten for the Giants, and they will be forced to punt.

1296
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:08,000
Fourth and ten. Eight minutes and 20 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter,

1297
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:11,000
and the Bears are leading 20 to 7.

1298
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:16,000
As Ernie Coy comes into the football game, and he will do the punting for the Giants.

1299
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:21,000
Out of the huddle, up the line has come in the Giants.

1300
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:26,000
Ernie Coy in punt position. Gale Stairs and Dick Gordon are back.

1301
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:30,000
There's the boat. It's a high spiral.

1302
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:36,000
Gordon fakes a move under the football and then steps away from it,

1303
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:38,000
and the ball bounds into the end zone.

1304
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:42,000
Some real fast thinking by Dick Gordon prevented his catching the ball

1305
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:46,000
and being tackled on the spot. He allowed the ball to roll into the end zone,

1306
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:49,000
and that punt was good for 54 yards.

1307
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:54,000
And so the Bears will take over possession of the football on their own 20 yard line.

1308
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:59,000
The score here at Wrigley Field in Chicago, the New York Giants 7,

1309
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:04,000
the Chicago Bears 20. More New York Giants football in just 60 seconds.

1310
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:11,000
In the United States, most people have things pretty good.

1311
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:17,000
Life is full of promise. But even here there are those who somehow miss out,

1312
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:22,000
who have nothing, and whose prospects for tomorrow are more of the same.

1313
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:28,000
The reasons are complex, and they're absolutely overwhelming for the people involved.

1314
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:32,000
You grow up in a slum or maybe an Indian reservation,

1315
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:37,000
and words like hope and opportunity might as well be in some other language.

1316
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:42,000
There is no hope, no opportunity, as far as they're concerned.

1317
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:48,000
But when VISTA volunteers come, something happens, something's better,

1318
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:54,000
something called hope, something called opportunity.

1319
01:35:54,000 --> 01:36:02,000
Help make it happen, right to VISTA, Box B, Washington, D.C.

1320
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:06,000
So the Giants ran out of gas in their first drive of the second half here at Chicago.

1321
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:10,000
The Bears put the ball and play in their own 20. Here again is Woody Erdman.

1322
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:15,000
Johnny Morris flanks out on the near side. Over on the far side is split end Dick Gordon.

1323
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:18,000
Larry Rake's draw, calling the signal. Bakes the snap from center.

1324
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:24,000
There is a long pass. Downfield, extended for number 80, Jimmy Jones, who is the tight end.

1325
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:27,000
Incomplete. It was off Jimmy Jones' fingertips.

1326
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:31,000
He was covered by Freeman White, who was in there at free safety,

1327
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:37,000
having replaced Spider Lockhart, who left the game earlier as a result of an injury.

1328
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:43,000
Freeman White covering Jimmy Jones. Jimmy Jones could not hold onto the football.

1329
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:47,000
It went right off his fingertips. Incomplete. Makes it second and ten.

1330
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:52,000
Second and ten for the Bears on their own 20 yard line.

1331
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:57,000
Jimmy Jones leaves the ball game and Austin Denny comes in to replace him as tight end.

1332
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:59,000
As they move out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage,

1333
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:04,000
Gordon is split to the near side and Morris is flanked over to the far side.

1334
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:09,000
The running backs are Gale Sayers and Ron Bull. The quarterback is Larry Rake's draw.

1335
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:12,000
There's the snap to Rake's draw. He hands it off.

1336
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:21,000
The ball is carried into the far side of the line by Ron Bull and the tackle is made there by Glenn Condren and Clarence Childs.

1337
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:25,000
Twenty to seven. The Chicago Bears are leading the New York Giants.

1338
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:31,000
We have seven minutes and 45 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter of this contest.

1339
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:38,000
Other scores for Baltimore, 42 for Atlanta, seven, third period.

1340
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:44,000
Second quarter score, Dallas 14, New Orleans seven, second period, Pittsburgh seven, St. Louis seven.

1341
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:49,000
Third and ten for the Chicago Bears as they move up to the line of scrimmage.

1342
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:55,000
Rake's draw takes the snap from center. He fades and as he tries to release the ball,

1343
01:37:55,000 --> 01:38:01,000
his arm was caught and the ball went straight down and so it is an incomplete forward pass.

1344
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,000
Actually they caught hold of his passing arm, Dick.

1345
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:11,000
Right, Woody, it was a fine run there by Lurch Semmer and Moran and actually the Moran was the one that had him knock the football down to the ground.

1346
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:15,000
So the Giants now are in good position. They're in good field position and they need that.

1347
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:18,000
They needed that time to stop the Chicago Bear offense.

1348
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:25,000
This will put the ball somewhere around maybe the 50 yard line or the midfield strike and maybe the Giants can take it on in for now.

1349
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:30,000
But this is the first time in a long while where the Giants will be in good field position.

1350
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:37,000
The Bears now in upon formation. Randy Minier and Wendell Harris are deep for the Giants.

1351
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:40,000
Over the ball at center, Mike Pyle for the Chicago Bears.

1352
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:44,000
There's the snap from center, the boot and it's a long spiral.

1353
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:53,000
It goes over the head of Wendell Harris, rolls back to the 15 yard statement and he drops on the 10 yard line.

1354
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:57,000
The official scamp is put on the 12. That was a 70 yard boot.

1355
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:01,000
As far as the Chicago Bears were concerned, 70 yards.

1356
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:05,000
Yes, Woody, and there goes that great giant field position I was talking about.

1357
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:09,000
Well, that boy can really kick the football green. That's all he does. He just kicks. He just punts.

1358
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:14,000
Just like Don Turner for the Green Bay Packers only kicks field goals now and extra points.

1359
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:18,000
He got his leg into that. Of course the wind is at his back. It's in his favor.

1360
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,000
But that still is a fine kick.

1361
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:27,000
And so it's first and 10 for the Giants with the ball resting on their own 13 yard line.

1362
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:29,000
The Giants out of the huddle up at the line of scrimmage.

1363
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:32,000
Tarkin and calling the signals. Triplett and Frederiksen are the running backs.

1364
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:35,000
Tarkin then takes the snap from center, gives the ball off to Triplett.

1365
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:38,000
Triplett hits the middle of the line. He gets to about the 14.

1366
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:43,000
And he's tough to the 14 yard line by right line backer Jim Purnell.

1367
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:47,000
And so the ball is on the 14 yard line. That's a pick up of about a yard.

1368
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:50,000
And that will make it second and nine.

1369
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:52,000
Second and nine for the Giants.

1370
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:57,000
We have six minutes and 25 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter.

1371
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:59,000
As the Giants move out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage,

1372
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:03,000
Homer Jones is split to the far side and Del Schopner is flanked to the near side.

1373
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:07,000
There's the snap to Tarkin and Tarkin then a long pass to Aaron Thomas.

1374
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:12,000
Thomas takes it on the 20, turns in, turns around, gets to about the 21,

1375
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:16,000
and he's dropped on the 21 yard line by number 51 Dick Butchett.

1376
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:20,000
The middle line backer for the Chicago Bears.

1377
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:23,000
Butchett's assisted by Ricky Pettibone.

1378
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:25,000
Let me just point out what Butchett had to do that time.

1379
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:28,000
When he did get over there and stop that play.

1380
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:31,000
Actually Pettibone was covering Thomas man to man.

1381
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:35,000
As he was talking into that ball, it was right next to the sideline, to the left sideline.

1382
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:37,000
Butchett dropped back in the middle.

1383
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:41,000
Then as he was throwing the ball, raced over there and made the tackle on the sideline.

1384
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:43,000
Quite an athlete.

1385
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:50,000
The Giants now after a completion of an eight yard pass from Tarkin into Aaron Thomas

1386
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:52,000
have a third and two situation.

1387
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:54,000
The ball handed off to Triplett.

1388
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:57,000
Triplett stopped at the line of scrimmage by Ed Obradovich.

1389
01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:00,000
Triplett may have picked up a yard on the play.

1390
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:05,000
Obradovich is the less defensive end for the Chicago Bears.

1391
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:09,000
He was assisted by Doug Spafoon.

1392
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:13,000
Though there was a pick up of about a yard and that will make it fourth and one for the Giants

1393
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:15,000
as they go into a punt formation.

1394
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:19,000
Ernie Coy comes onto the field for the Giants.

1395
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:20,000
It is fourth and one.

1396
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:25,000
We have five minutes of playing time remaining in the third quarter.

1397
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:32,000
As you hear in the background, the attendance is 46,200 plus.

1398
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:34,000
There is the boot by Ernie Coy.

1399
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:38,000
It's a spiral call for, a fair catch call for by number 45.

1400
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,000
Dick Gordon.

1401
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:43,000
And there is a marker on the play.

1402
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:44,000
That punt was good for 39 yards.

1403
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:50,000
There is a marker on the play at about the midfield stripe.

1404
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:51,000
Twenty to seven.

1405
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:54,000
The Chicago Bears are leading the New York Giants.

1406
01:41:54,000 --> 01:42:00,000
We have four minutes and 43 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter of this contest.

1407
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:03,000
A 15 yard penalty stepped off against the Chicago Bears.

1408
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:09,000
They take the ball back to their own 25 yard line.

1409
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:11,000
Clipping penalty called against the Chicago Bears.

1410
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:14,000
Put the ball back on their own 25.

1411
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:16,000
They're leading by 13 points.

1412
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:22,000
We have four minutes and 43 seconds of playing time remaining.

1413
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:27,000
We have a timeout on the field and a time in for Ted Hod.

1414
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:29,000
Okay, well we have an opportunity if we may.

1415
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:36,000
I'd like to mention that we have had literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of letters and cards

1416
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:42,000
written in by our listeners applying for membership in our honorary sports casters club.

1417
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:44,000
And it's very gratifying and we do appreciate it.

1418
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:45,000
Thank you.

1419
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:46,000
All right, Woody.

1420
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:49,000
So there's a pause in the action here at Chicago.

1421
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:52,000
The score, Chicago 20 and the New York Giants 7.

1422
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:56,000
More Giants football in just 30 seconds.

1423
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:04,000
Your man, Robert Otto, Phi Beta Kappa, is taking Army ROTC.

1424
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:10,000
Army ROTC has been paying Bob $40 a month during his junior and senior years of college.

1425
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:14,000
But money isn't the big reward Army ROTC offers Bob.

1426
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:19,000
It's the experience he's getting in organizing and leading men.

1427
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:25,000
If you're a high school senior, ask your guidance counselor about Army ROTC.

1428
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:30,000
The Bears will be putting the ball in play in their own territory.

1429
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:36,000
And here to tell you about it once again, the network voice of the New York Giants, Woody Erdman.

1430
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:41,000
So it's first and 10, Chicago, on their own 25-yard line.

1431
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:45,000
Larry Rake Straw is the quarterback for the Chicago Bears.

1432
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:48,000
He replaced Jackson Cannon earlier during the course of the afternoon.

1433
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:49,000
A handoff to Sears.

1434
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:50,000
Sears into the line.

1435
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:53,000
He stops at the line that's coming by Bob Lurtz-Summer.

1436
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:56,000
Defensive tackle for the Giants.

1437
01:43:56,000 --> 01:44:03,000
By and large, Dick Lynch, the front four for the Giants have done quite a nice job this afternoon.

1438
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:05,000
Right, they've contained them very well.

1439
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:08,000
They've contained Sears and Ronnie Bull.

1440
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:13,000
The big asset in the ball game, those parts, has been that bear defense,

1441
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:20,000
which has put the Bears in excellent field position both times inside the 9-20 on interception.

1442
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:24,000
The Bears now up at the line of scrimmage, number 47, Johnny Morris flanked out on the far side.

1443
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:26,000
Dick Gordon split on the near side.

1444
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:27,000
There's a snap to Rake Straw.

1445
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:29,000
Rake Straw fades into the pocket.

1446
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:30,000
A pass complete.

1447
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:32,000
Incomplete.

1448
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:37,000
Gale Sears had that ball on about the 40-yard line and didn't hold it long enough, dropped it.

1449
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:42,000
And so it's an incompleted forward pass intended from Rake Straw for Gale Sears.

1450
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:43,000
Incomplete.

1451
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:47,000
While we have an opportunity, let's pause 10 seconds for station identification.

1452
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:49,000
This is the New York Giants radio network.

1453
01:44:49,000 --> 01:45:00,000
This is the bright sound in radio, WGY, a General Electric Broadcasting Company station at 810 on your dial in Schenectady, New York.

1454
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,000
Wrigley Field in Chicago.

1455
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:06,000
The Chicago Bears and the New York Giants, along with Dick Lynch and Dead Hard.

1456
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:07,000
This is Woody Erdman.

1457
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:09,000
There is the snap to Rake Straw.

1458
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:14,000
He fades, steps up into the pocket, decides to run with a football, goes up the middle,

1459
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:22,000
gets past the 30 up to about the 31 or 32, and he's dropped there by Jim Moran.

1460
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:29,000
We have 3 minutes and 40 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter, and the Bears are leading 20 to 7.

1461
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:32,000
That makes it fourth and about three to go.

1462
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:35,000
Fourth and three.

1463
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:47,000
This time I notice Wendell Harris and Randy Minamir back a little deeper than they were the last time, Woody, because this Green has really been having himself a fine afternoon punting.

1464
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:51,000
Bobby Joel Green, punting with his back to the wind.

1465
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:55,000
He's an eight-year veteran and real capable.

1466
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:57,000
The snap from center is low.

1467
01:45:57,000 --> 01:45:59,000
Green gets the putt away, and it's a long one.

1468
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:02,000
It's a beaut taken by Wendell Harris on the 10.

1469
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:06,000
He gets up to about the 11, and he is stopped on the 11-yard line.

1470
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:10,000
He fumbles the football on about the 10.

1471
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:12,000
I believe he was down, however.

1472
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:21,000
There is a marker on the play, and we're having some real rough and tumble football down there on about the 8-yard line.

1473
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:26,000
Wendell Harris made an over-the-shoulder attack of that punt.

1474
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,000
He tried to move the football upfield.

1475
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:32,000
Actually, Dick, I think, had he let it go, it would have rolled into the end zone.

1476
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:35,000
Well, I don't know what he had to stop the decision to make.

1477
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:38,000
It was very close, and he let it go.

1478
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:44,000
At least he could have lost the 10 yards, but not a particular play down there where they had a little rough stuff, a little fighting going on.

1479
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:50,000
Wendell Harris fumbled the ball, but the ball was ruled dead as he caught it, and the ball was ruled dead right away.

1480
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:51,000
There's two offsetting penalties.

1481
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:56,000
They're going to give the ball to the Giants on the 10-yard line, first and then.

1482
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:05,000
And so the New York Giants, as Dick Lynch has told you, are in possession of the football, and the ball is placed officially now on the 11-yard line.

1483
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:10,000
And once again, it's Bobby Joe Green's kicks that are really keeping the pressure on the giant offense.

1484
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:15,000
He has them, once again, last time he booted the ball, they had the ball on the 12-yard line.

1485
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:17,000
This time they're getting the ball on the 11-yard line.

1486
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:23,000
Both times they were deep in the Bay of Territory, but his kick got him out of it, and that's the value of having a real fine kicker.

1487
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:26,000
He can really put the pressure on an offensive team.

1488
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:29,000
Schauffner playing to the near side, Homer Jones split to the far side.

1489
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:32,000
He's pulled in close, knocking and faked the handoff.

1490
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:33,000
He's being rushed.

1491
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:36,000
There is a pass intended for Homer Jones.

1492
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:39,000
Jones with two men on him, incomplete.

1493
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:45,000
Number 53, Jim Burnell, and number 24, Rosie Taylor were on Homer Jones.

1494
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:52,000
Jones could not get his hands on it, and the Chicago Bears have done a great job of containing the offense

1495
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:55,000
of a New York giant here this afternoon.

1496
01:47:55,000 --> 01:48:01,000
They've done certainly a fine job covering Homer Jones, but it's taken two men to do it, Woody.

1497
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:07,000
I'll point that out, but if that's the case, they've found the secret, and they are containing him so far this afternoon.

1498
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:09,000
Jim Burnell leaves the ballgame.

1499
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:14,000
He's replaced by Joe Taylor as the Bears go to a defense using five defensive halfbacks.

1500
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:20,000
Homer Jones over on the far side, Schauffner on the near side, and Fredrickson and Trippert are the running back,

1501
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:22,000
tracking and calling the signals.

1502
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:23,000
Takes the snap from center.

1503
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:29,000
He fades back a short pass intended for Bill Trippert, incomplete.

1504
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:34,000
The pass was overthrown, incomplete.

1505
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:42,000
That makes it third and ten, two minutes and 44 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter.

1506
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:48,000
The Washington Redskins have scored 17 points to San Francisco's 21 this afternoon.

1507
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:50,000
That's a third period score.

1508
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:55,000
In the third quarter, Pittsburgh and St. Louis are all tied up 7-7.

1509
01:48:55,000 --> 01:48:58,000
In the second quarter, Dallas 14, New Orleans 7.

1510
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:02,000
At the completion of one period of play, no score, Detroit and Minnesota.

1511
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:07,000
Here at Wrigley Field, it is 20 for the Chicago Bears, 7 for the New York Giants.

1512
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:13,000
Homer Jones over on the far side, Schauffner on the near side, Prockenden being right, being pulled down, behind the line of Philly,

1513
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:21,000
back on about the one-yard line by Ed O'Bradovich and Marty Ansler and Dick Eby.

1514
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:26,000
All from the front four of the Chicago Bears.

1515
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:31,000
And they got a tremendous salvation from the fans here at Wrigley Field.

1516
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:33,000
Rightfully so.

1517
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:36,000
Sorry, Woody, they've been putting the stretcher on, talking to me all afternoon,

1518
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:39,000
but once again, you've got to give a lot of credit to that defensive secondary.

1519
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:44,000
He was looking for Aaron Thomas, and Thomas was covered very well that time by Richie Paterbone.

1520
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:47,000
He couldn't throw him the ball, then he looked for Aaron Thomas.

1521
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:50,000
I mean, then he looked for Del Schauffner, and he was covered by Gentry.

1522
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:52,000
He just had to eat it.

1523
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:56,000
And like you called, there's four linemen right on top of Frank Darkington.

1524
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:58,000
Ernie Coy kicking into the wind.

1525
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:00,000
There's a high staff from center.

1526
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:01,000
He gets the boot away.

1527
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:05,000
It wobbles, lands on the 30, rolls to the 35.

1528
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:11,000
And finally down by Freeman White, who steps out of bounds on the 36th job line.

1529
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:13,000
In New York Giants territory.

1530
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:20,000
And so it is first and 10, the Bears, on the Giants 36.

1531
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:22,000
The Chicago Bears are leading 20 to 7.

1532
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:28,000
We have two minutes and 11 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter of this contest.

1533
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:29,000
The Giants scored first.

1534
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:31,000
They scored seven in the first period.

1535
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:34,000
The Bears came back and scored 20 in the second quarter.

1536
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:36,000
No score so far in the third quarter.

1537
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:41,000
So it is 20 for the Bears, seven for the Giants.

1538
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:45,000
Dick, while we have an opportunity, while there is a lull in the action,

1539
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:51,000
again let me say that it's gratifying for so many of our listeners to write in and to apply for their membership cards.

1540
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:58,000
We have had hundreds and hundreds of letters, and those cards are on their way to those who have written.

1541
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:00,000
And those who have not written, we invite them to do so.

1542
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:05,000
Right Woody, as you say, it is gratifying certainly to have so many listeners write in.

1543
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:08,000
And as Dean Martin says, keep those cards and letters coming in.

1544
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:10,000
It's always a pleasure to hear from you.

1545
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,000
And that's the truth.

1546
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:17,000
And we have been getting letters from all our listeners and from every radio station that's in the Giants network.

1547
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:20,000
Certainly it's very pleasing.

1548
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:28,000
And so it is now first and 10, Chicago Bears, on the New York Giants 36 yard line.

1549
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:34,000
Two minutes and 11 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter.

1550
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:36,000
As play is about to resume, the Bears are back in the huddle.

1551
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:38,000
They break out of the huddle, move up to the line of scrimmage.

1552
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:43,000
Dick Gordon is flicked to the near side, and Johnny Morris is flanked over on the far side.

1553
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:47,000
Number 29, Ron Bull on the wing on the far side.

1554
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:49,000
Rake draw calling the signal.

1555
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:52,000
There is a marker on the play, offside.

1556
01:51:52,000 --> 01:52:00,000
Now whether or not that penalty will be called against the Giants or the Bears, we'll learn of that, but we'll find out, Dick.

1557
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:01,000
Well, that was offside.

1558
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:05,000
Jim Cadcavage decided to take an early look and see what was going to happen.

1559
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:11,000
He was back there three yards before Rake draw had the football, so it is against the Giants.

1560
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:17,000
Now the ball is on the 30 yard line of the New York Giants, first down and five.

1561
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:21,000
They're in a real bad position, but again, they've stopped him before.

1562
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:28,000
The scoring has come as a result of interceptions on the fair defense, and let's see if they can hold them now, Wood.

1563
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:31,000
Rake draw calling the signals at quarterback for the Chicago Bears.

1564
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:34,000
Takes a snap from center, hands that ball off the stairs.

1565
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:35,000
There's a sweep.

1566
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:39,000
He heads over to the far side of the field, gets to about the 34 yard line.

1567
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:47,000
Now that will mean a loss of about three yards on the play, and he's stopped over there on the far side of the field by Clarence Childs and Ken Avery.

1568
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:53,000
Childs is the right cornerback, and Ken Avery the right linebacker for the New York Giants.

1569
01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:55,000
All right, Avery returned on that play, Wood.

1570
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:56,000
He's holding shoulder.

1571
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:58,000
Ed Wysockowski now has come in to replace him.

1572
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:00,000
Once again, though, you've got to give a lot of credit to Ken Avery.

1573
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:05,000
He's meeting the best when he meets Cale Sayers on those sweeps, and he is meeting them and stopping them.

1574
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:10,000
He's not gaining any yards around Ken Avery's side, and Clarence Childs, too, is doing an excellent job.

1575
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:14,000
The Bears are up at the line of scrimmage, number 47, Morris flanked to the near side.

1576
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:18,000
Dick Gordon splits over to the far side, the running back to the stairs and Bull.

1577
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:22,000
Rake Straw calling the signals, takes the snap from center, hands the ball off the stairs.

1578
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:23,000
There's the sweep from the near side.

1579
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:27,000
Sayers gets to the 30, down to the 25, gets to the 20.

1580
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:34,000
He's finally dropped on the near side of the field on about the 18 yard line by Freeman White.

1581
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:38,000
It's a beautiful sight to watch the runner like Cale Sayers run.

1582
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:40,000
Absolutely sensational, Woody.

1583
01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:44,000
He's got a lot of play in his track, to start eating, was about to make a tackle, put back inside and kept going.

1584
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:46,000
Just on the dime he stopped there.

1585
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:48,000
Quite a fine runner.

1586
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:57,000
Cale Sayers on a sweep, picked up the first down for the Chicago Bears, and it is first and 10 for Chicago on the giant 18 yard line.

1587
01:53:57,000 --> 01:53:58,000
The Bears are back in the huddle.

1588
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:00,000
They're leading 20 to 7.

1589
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:02,000
They move out of the huddle, up to the line of scrimmage.

1590
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:04,000
Johnny Morris flanked to the far side.

1591
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:06,000
Dick Gordon split to the near side.

1592
01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:09,000
Ron Bull moved over to the wing on the far side.

1593
01:54:09,000 --> 01:54:12,000
Rake Straw is calling signals.

1594
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:15,000
He takes the stuff and rolls down to the far side.

1595
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:18,000
Looks for a receiver and Gale Sayers incomplete.

1596
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:20,000
Sayers was on about the floor.

1597
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:21,000
He threw the ball behind him.

1598
01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:23,000
Incomplete.

1599
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:27,000
Makes it second and 10, with a ball on the giant 18.

1600
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:31,000
Second and 10, 31 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter.

1601
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:33,000
The Bears leading 20 to 7.

1602
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:37,000
They're threatening with 31 seconds remaining of this period.

1603
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:43,000
That actually is the option run, old pass play, that Contanan ran so very well in the first half, would he,

1604
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:48,000
until he was taken out of the ball game on a vicious tackle by Jim Cadcaver.

1605
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:53,000
But this time Rake Straw decided to throw the football.

1606
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:55,000
He was looking for Sayers.

1607
01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:59,000
The Sayers were covered very well that time by Bill Swain, and he threw the ball behind him.

1608
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:02,000
As they break out of the huddle, Morris is flanked to the far side.

1609
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:05,000
Dick Gordon split to the near side.

1610
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:07,000
Rake Straw the quarterback.

1611
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:08,000
The running backs are Bull and Sayers.

1612
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:11,000
Over the ball at center is Mike Pyle.

1613
01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:13,000
There's a snap to Rake Straw.

1614
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:18,000
He steps back, passes, and tended over to the far side for Austin Jenney.

1615
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:19,000
Incomplete.

1616
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:20,000
It was thrown high.

1617
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:24,000
Jenney was covered by Freeman White.

1618
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:26,000
And so it's third and 10.

1619
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:30,000
On the New York Giants' 18-yard line, the Chicago Bears in possession.

1620
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:33,000
27 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter.

1621
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:37,000
Coming into the ball game, Mike Rayball.

1622
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:41,000
And Mike no doubt is bringing a play in from the bench, as they're doing with Rake Straw.

1623
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:46,000
They are sending their players back in and into and from the ball game.

1624
01:55:46,000 --> 01:55:48,000
I'm sure George Callis is calling these plays.

1625
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:53,000
A man very dangerous down here would be number 47, Johnny Morris.

1626
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:54,000
Let's see what happens, will he?

1627
01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:58,000
Rayball replaces Jim Cadill.

1628
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:00,000
Rake Straw calling the signals.

1629
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:01,000
The quarterback for the Bears.

1630
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:05,000
He takes a snap from center, steps back, a pass, and tended in.

1631
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:10,000
Rake Straw, Rake Straw, Rake Straw, touchdown there.

1632
01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:14,000
Rake Straw flew in the end zone to Dick Gordon.

1633
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:15,000
Gordon caught it.

1634
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:18,000
The man on Gordon was Clarence Giles.

1635
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:20,000
It was a beautifully thrown pass.

1636
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:27,000
Dick Gordon just turned around, pulled the ball in, touched down Chicago.

1637
01:56:27,000 --> 01:56:33,000
And so it is now 26 for the Bears, 7 for the Giants.

1638
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:41,000
The try for the extra point, Max Percival, will attempt the conversion.

1639
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:42,000
Mike Pyle over the ball at center.

1640
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:44,000
There's the stop to hold the boot.

1641
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:45,000
It is good.

1642
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:49,000
27 for the Chicago Bears, 7 for the New York Giants.

1643
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:54,000
More New York Giants football in just 60 seconds.

1644
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:59,000
Music. How important is it?

1645
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:04,000
The Music Educators National Conference asks some prominent Americans to comment.

1646
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:08,000
Otto Graham, head coach of the Washington Redskins.

1647
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:11,000
I was born and raised in a musical family.

1648
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:15,000
Of course, I was a typical youngster.

1649
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:21,000
When my father wanted me to practice, I would much rather go out and play football or baseball.

1650
01:57:21,000 --> 01:57:24,000
And as I look back, music I think has helped me.

1651
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:29,000
I think any good athlete has to have rhythm, has to have timing.

1652
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:32,000
And of course, music is rhythm and timing.

1653
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:38,000
I think every youngster should study music and then time it and have an understanding of it.

1654
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:42,000
Give young people the opportunity to build a close relationship with music.

1655
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:44,000
Support music in your schools.

1656
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:48,000
For information, write the Music Educators National Conference.

1657
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:55,000
Or write MEMC, Box 1300, Washington, D.C., 20013.

1658
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:57,000
Wrigley Field in Chicago.

1659
01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:02,000
The Chicago Bears and the New York Giants, Chicago leading 27 to 7.

1660
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:05,000
Twelve seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter.

1661
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:08,000
Along with Dick Lynch and Ted Hodge, this is Woody Erdman.

1662
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:10,000
The kickoff was taken by Clarence Childs.

1663
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:12,000
He carried it to the 19-yard line.

1664
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:15,000
And that is the end of the quarter.

1665
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:20,000
And so the New York Giants will be in possession of the football on their own 19-yard line

1666
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:23,000
as we start the fourth period of play.

1667
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:26,000
Here before we resume action is Ted Hodge.

1668
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:33,000
Now, Mohawk Airlines introduces more nonstop and jet-powered flights with its new flight schedule.

1669
01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:37,000
Mohawk has gone all out for the comfort and convenience of air travelers.

1670
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:39,000
And the new flight schedule holds no exception.

1671
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:43,000
An example is the new nonstop jet service from Westchester County to Detroit.

1672
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:49,000
Or jet nonstop from Syracuse to Pittsburgh, Delmyra to Cleveland, or New York to Syracuse.

1673
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:53,000
Pick up the new Mohawk Airlines flight schedule and see for yourself.

1674
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:58,000
Mohawk has not only added more jet flights, but more ways to serve you.

1675
01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:02,000
Mohawk Tourism will greet you in their new Sac-5th Avenue outfit.

1676
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:06,000
Jet Mohawk and see a fashion show on every flight.

1677
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:11,000
Mohawk serves 75 cities in 10 states.

1678
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:14,000
And here in Chicago, we go into the fourth quarter of play.

1679
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:20,000
The Chicago Bears having just gone out in front of the New York Giants, fire score of 27 to 7.

1680
01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:23,000
Other scores on our scoreboard after three periods of play.

1681
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:27,000
The Baltimore Colts 42 and the Atlanta Falcons 7.

1682
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:32,000
Another third-quarter score, San Francisco 21, Washington 17.

1683
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:35,000
And we go into the fourth quarter now. The Giants will be in possession.

1684
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:37,000
It will be their ball, first and 10.

1685
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:40,000
Here to tell you about it, Woody Erdman.

1686
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:42,000
Up with the line of scurries, the New York Giants.

1687
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:45,000
Homer Jones on the far side, Schaffner on the near side.

1688
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:47,000
Triplett and Frederiksen are the running backs.

1689
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:48,000
Tarkin in a pass to Frederiksen.

1690
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:52,000
Frederiksen takes it, carries the ball up to the 20-yard line.

1691
01:59:52,000 --> 01:59:57,000
He took it on about the 15, and he is upended there by Curtis Gentry.

1692
01:59:57,000 --> 02:00:00,000
That was a short pass in the flat to Frederiksen.

1693
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:04,000
Frederiksen caught it on about the 15, carried it to about the 20.

1694
02:00:04,000 --> 02:00:09,000
And so there's a pickup, but perhaps the yard on the play would make a second down in 9.

1695
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:20,000
And so it is 27-7, the Bears over the Giants here at the start of the final period of play.

1696
02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:24,000
Give it a pick-up of 2, makes it second and a coys in the ball game, replacing Triplett.

1697
02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:27,000
There's a pass intended for Aaron Thomas.

1698
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:30,000
He was covered beautifully by Richie Pettibone.

1699
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:33,000
The strong safetyman for the Chicago Bears, incomplete.

1700
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:38,000
A pass intended for Aaron Thomas from Fran Tarkin, incomplete.

1701
02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:40,000
And so that makes it third and eight.

1702
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:44,000
14 minutes and 18 seconds of playing time remaining in the football game.

1703
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:48,000
Third period score, Pittsburgh 7, St. Louis 7.

1704
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:51,000
No score in the game between Detroit and Minnesota first quarter.

1705
02:00:51,000 --> 02:00:54,000
Second period, Dallas 14, New Orleans 7.

1706
02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:58,000
Final, Baltimore beat Atlanta 49-7.

1707
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:02,000
Out of the huddle up to the line is coming the New York Giants.

1708
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:06,000
Now the flanker type of offense, called by Fran Tarkin.

1709
02:01:06,000 --> 02:01:08,000
Tarkin in face, he's being rushed.

1710
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:12,000
He rolls out, he's looking for receivers, finds one in Del Schopner.

1711
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:17,000
It was deflected in part by number 20, Joe Taylor.

1712
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:21,000
It rolled off the fingertips of Del Schopner.

1713
02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:26,000
Reflected in part by Taylor, Schopner, nevertheless almost caught it.

1714
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:27,000
It just rolled off his fingertips.

1715
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:29,000
He couldn't reach far enough to get a deck.

1716
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:31,000
Fine effort there by Taylor, as you called, Woody.

1717
02:01:31,000 --> 02:01:33,000
Fran went back to fill the ball.

1718
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:36,000
He was looking for Homer, didn't have enough time to throw the ball to him.

1719
02:01:36,000 --> 02:01:39,000
He scrambled out to his own right side.

1720
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:43,000
And at this time, that's when the defensive back had to really keep his eye on the receiver.

1721
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:46,000
And he kept his eye on Del, and so made a square out move.

1722
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:50,000
He got his hand up there just enough to deflect it.

1723
02:01:50,000 --> 02:01:58,000
There's the Jones or Deet, as Ernie Coy boots the ball, and it goes and over and bounds on about the 30.

1724
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:02,000
And it's down there by number 51 for the New York Giants.

1725
02:02:02,000 --> 02:02:07,000
A 49-yard boost.

1726
02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:13,000
Ed Wybckowski down that ball on the 31 for the New York Giants.

1727
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:17,000
And it first intends Chicago on their own 31-yard line.

1728
02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:24,000
13 minutes and 58 seconds of playing time remaining in the contest, as the Bears are now in possession of the football.

1729
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:26,000
Austin Denny is the tight end.

1730
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:27,000
Dick Gordon the split end.

1731
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:29,000
Johnny Morris the flanker back.

1732
02:02:29,000 --> 02:02:31,000
Gale Sayers and Ron Bull.

1733
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:35,000
The running back.

1734
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:38,000
A substitution. Ralph Couric goes in to replace Bull.

1735
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:41,000
Couric mows out on the wing on the near side.

1736
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:44,000
Rake Straw calling the signals at quarterback.

1737
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:46,000
He hands the ball off to number 41.

1738
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:53,000
Piccolo, Piccolo goes off tackle, picks up yardage, gets past the 35, up to about the 39-yard line.

1739
02:02:53,000 --> 02:02:58,000
Brian Piccolo replaced Gale Sayers in the lineup for the Chicago Bears.

1740
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:03,000
And he picks up yardage as the ball was carried up to the 39-yard line.

1741
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:13,000
Brian Piccolo, a three-year man, six feet tall, 205 pounds, prior to the start of this game had 46 carries for 146 yards.

1742
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:15,000
He's a graduate of Wake Forest.

1743
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:17,000
Number 47, Johnny Morris blanked out to the far side.

1744
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:20,000
Dick Gordon, split to the near side.

1745
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:23,000
Over the ball at center is Mike Pile. He's a graduate of Yale.

1746
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:24,000
There's the snap to Rake Straw.

1747
02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:31,000
He fades. A short pass intended for Piccolo, incomplete.

1748
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:34,000
And so that makes it third and two.

1749
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:38,000
Twelve minutes and 45 seconds of playing time remaining in the contest.

1750
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:41,000
And the Bears are leading 27-7.

1751
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:50,000
Next week, the Pittsburgh Steelers come to Yankee Stadium.

1752
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:56,000
Coming into the football game, Obradovich, leaving the game, Dick Gordon.

1753
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:00,000
Obradovich, who plays both defense and offense.

1754
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:04,000
He's a defensive end and an offensive end.

1755
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:06,000
In there offensively for blocking purposes.

1756
02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:10,000
That's right. We have part of the play coming right his way.

1757
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:18,000
There is a marker on the field as they started to put the play in a motion.

1758
02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:20,000
I think it was against the Giants.

1759
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:27,000
They were, unless I just say they might have been pulled off.

1760
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:29,000
Yeah, it is against the Giants, Woody.

1761
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:32,000
Offside, they're just here for the Bears.

1762
02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:36,000
First down and Obradovich doesn't even have to block.

1763
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:42,000
And so Dick Gordon replaces Obradovich at split end for the Chicago Bears.

1764
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:46,000
And the ball is resting now on their own 44-yard line.

1765
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:48,000
That makes it first and 10.

1766
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:51,000
Number 47, Johnny Morris, flanks out to the far side.

1767
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:53,000
And Dick Gordon is split to the near side.

1768
02:04:53,000 --> 02:04:55,000
There's a snap to Rake's draw.

1769
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:57,000
A pass over to Johnny Morris.

1770
02:04:57,000 --> 02:04:59,000
Morris was on about the line of scrimmage.

1771
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:03,000
And he is stopped as he receives the pass by Scott Eaton.

1772
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:07,000
Right, and Scott Eaton that time read the play perfect.

1773
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:14,000
This is the same play that Morris took a two-yard hit and then went about 20 yards with the ball.

1774
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:16,000
What might happen now, you've got to be very careful.

1775
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:18,000
And they've done this many times.

1776
02:05:18,000 --> 02:05:23,000
They will fake that little hit and let Scott Eaton come on up and then Johnny Morris can just take off and go deep.

1777
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:26,000
And they've done this before and they might be trying to set this up.

1778
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:30,000
Carl has to be very careful, but I know he's a fine defensive back and he reacts very well.

1779
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:33,000
I think he'll be able to handle it.

1780
02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:39,000
As the Bears move out of the huddle, Johnny Morris is on the flank on the far side and Gordon is split to the near side.

1781
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:42,000
Rake's draw takes the snap from center.

1782
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:46,000
That is a lateral intended for Brian Piccolo.

1783
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:48,000
It was thrown behind Piccolo.

1784
02:05:48,000 --> 02:05:53,000
Piccolo then reversed his position, got back to the football and fell on it.

1785
02:05:53,000 --> 02:05:57,000
So the ball is back now on the 30-yard line of the Chicago Bears.

1786
02:05:57,000 --> 02:06:00,000
Right, Woody. They seem to have some mix-up in their signals.

1787
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:02,000
This is around the third play.

1788
02:06:02,000 --> 02:06:03,000
I've seen them mixed up.

1789
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:06,000
And I think it might be due in part to Piccolo and Couric.

1790
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:07,000
They're two new men.

1791
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:09,000
They're probably a little excited about being in the football game.

1792
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:11,000
They both have three years experience.

1793
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:13,000
I don't think they have that much playing time.

1794
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:17,000
And even with Rake's draw in there, that makes them three new men basically.

1795
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:20,000
And they'll have to iron these things out.

1796
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:23,000
Gordon to the near side, Morris to the far side.

1797
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:24,000
Mike Pyle to center.

1798
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:27,000
Rake's draw calling the signals takes the snap fade.

1799
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:30,000
There's a pass over the line to number 32.

1800
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:34,000
Couric gets the pass on about the 35-yard line.

1801
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:37,000
He's dropped on the 37 by Edward Zekowski.

1802
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:42,000
So that's short of a first down, and the Chicago Bears will be forced to punt.

1803
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:46,000
We have 10 minutes and 50 seconds of playing time remaining in the contest.

1804
02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:50,000
And the Giants are down 27 to 7.

1805
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:54,000
So they're backed by three touchdowns.

1806
02:06:54,000 --> 02:07:01,000
Ten minutes and 35 seconds of playing time remaining in the game.

1807
02:07:01,000 --> 02:07:04,000
It is now fourth and 17 for the Bears.

1808
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:09,000
As Bobby Joe Green goes back to do the booting for Chicago.

1809
02:07:09,000 --> 02:07:11,000
Over the ball at center, Mike Pyle.

1810
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:13,000
There's the snap from center.

1811
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:19,000
It's a punt into the wind that bounds high in the air, and they're allowing it to roll.

1812
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:27,000
And it rolls back to about the 25-yard line, where it is down on the 25-yard line.

1813
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:35,000
So it will be first and 10 New York Giants on their own 25 to score here at Wrigley Field in Chicago.

1814
02:07:35,000 --> 02:07:46,000
27 for Chicago, 7 for the Giants, and more New York Giants football in just 60 seconds.

1815
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:51,000
Here at Chicago, other than a 36-yard scoring drive put on by the Bears late in the third quarter,

1816
02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:53,000
it's been a seesaw battle in the second half.

1817
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:57,000
Very little scoring. The Giants put the ball in play here to tell you about it. Woody Urgin.

1818
02:07:57,000 --> 02:08:01,000
There's the snap to Tuckerman. Tuckerman hands the ball off. It's carried into the line.

1819
02:08:01,000 --> 02:08:06,000
And I believe there's a fumble in there. We're waiting for them to unfold.

1820
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:08,000
And the Bears have recovered.

1821
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:13,000
Yes, that's right, Woody. And once again, it's this bare defensive team that come up with the big play.

1822
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:20,000
They certainly remind me of that defensive team in 1963, and they won that title strictly on defense that year.

1823
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:26,000
They allowed their opponents an average of 10 points per game, and in the championship game,

1824
02:08:26,000 --> 02:08:32,000
that's all we did score against them. They only scored 14 points, but it was enough to win the football game.

1825
02:08:32,000 --> 02:08:37,000
And now it's the same thing happening this year, and with this great Chicago Bears defense really looking up

1826
02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:43,000
and pursuing and doing a heck of a job, they have given the opportunity once again to the Chicago offense.

1827
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:50,000
First in 10 Chicago on the Giants 23. Rake draw calling the signals for the Bears.

1828
02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:56,000
Takes the snap from center, hands the ball off. It's carried into the near side of the line where he hits the stolen wall.

1829
02:08:56,000 --> 02:09:01,000
Ralph Shurik took a handoff from Rake's draw, and as he moved to the near side of the line,

1830
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:06,000
Edward Zakowski and Bob Lertzema hit him. And just like concrete, he was stopped.

1831
02:09:06,000 --> 02:09:11,000
Right, he went right down. It was a fine hit by Wyzekowski, and he's very happy to be in the football game.

1832
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:17,000
He's replacing Ken Avery, and they should know that they're going to come right at him and test him out,

1833
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:21,000
and that's exactly what they're doing.

1834
02:09:21,000 --> 02:09:26,000
The Washington Redskins have beat the San Francisco 49ers 31 to 28 this afternoon.

1835
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:29,000
The Giants up at the line of scrimmage. There's the snap from center.

1836
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:34,000
The ball carried to the near side and forced out of bounds on the near side.

1837
02:09:34,000 --> 02:09:39,000
Brian Piccolo carried. Freeman White forced him out of bounds.

1838
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:46,000
Brian Piccolo in the football game, replacing Gale Sears. Ralph Shurik has replaced Ron Bull.

1839
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:52,000
Larry Rake's draw earlier during the course of the afternoon replaced the injured Jackson Cannon.

1840
02:09:52,000 --> 02:09:59,000
It's third and five, Chicago, with a ball resting on about the 18-yard line of the New York Giants.

1841
02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:06,000
And a play that we saw earlier in the third quarter, when they tried to hit the tight end drone,

1842
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:12,000
he was open. You just might see that play here. That's about the only place they have to go.

1843
02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:18,000
Jimmy Jones is in the ball game, as Dick has indicated, at tight end. There's the snap to Rake's draw.

1844
02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:27,000
The ball is given to Jones, and Jones, along the near sideline, Clarence Childs, forces him out of bounds.

1845
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:32,000
Well, it's not exactly what I had in mind. I didn't know he was going to get the ball that way.

1846
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:36,000
But it's another fine play by Jones, and this was, again, a reverse.

1847
02:10:36,000 --> 02:10:40,000
This is due in part to the great pursuit of the New York Giants.

1848
02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:44,000
They're coming down, they're following the football, they're following every move with those spare backs.

1849
02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:50,000
And as they moved inside that time, they came right around on the outside, picked up enough yardage for the first down.

1850
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:59,000
So it's first and ten, Chicago Bears, a carry by Jimmy Jones, who has gone into the ball game, a tight end, replacing Austin Denny.

1851
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:04,000
Number 47, Johnny Morris, flanked to the near side, and Gordon is split to the far side.

1852
02:11:04,000 --> 02:11:12,000
Number 12, Rake's draw, rolled out to the far side, he carries it in for a touchdown.

1853
02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:21,000
He fakes action from the near side, and on some beautiful deceptive handling of that ball, he rolled out to the far side.

1854
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:26,000
Everything was moved to the near side, and Rake's draw carried it in for the touchdown.

1855
02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:34,000
The joint teams remember so well with, like they Gary Wood used to do it so much, they faked the tweet, he kept the ball himself and just fed it all.

1856
02:11:34,000 --> 02:11:40,000
He was all by himself. The only boy in front of him was Bill Twain, and Twain just missed him.

1857
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:43,000
So you've got to give credit to Rake's draw, it was a fine play.

1858
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:48,000
Once again, it was the pursuit of the New York Giants that enabled that play to work.

1859
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:56,000
The extra point kick was good, so it is now 34 for the Chicago Bears, 7 for the New York Giants.

1860
02:11:56,000 --> 02:11:58,000
Set.

1861
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:06,000
And there's a pause in the action here at Chicago, the score, 34 for the Bears, and 7 for the Giants.

1862
02:12:06,000 --> 02:12:09,000
More Giants football in just 30 seconds.

1863
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:21,000
Give your heart a break. Give your heart a break. Give your heart a break.

1864
02:12:21,000 --> 02:12:25,000
Yes, here's a simple set to help reduce your risk of heart attack.

1865
02:12:25,000 --> 02:12:29,000
Eat a balanced diet, low in cholesterol and saturated fat.

1866
02:12:29,000 --> 02:12:31,000
A healthful diet benefits the whole family.

1867
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:35,000
For other steps to reduce your risk, ask your heart association.

1868
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:40,000
A simple set to help reduce your risk, give your heart a break.

1869
02:12:40,000 --> 02:12:46,000
Chicago, the Chicago Bears on the scoreboard once again now lead the Giants by a score of 34 to 7,

1870
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:49,000
with 8 minutes playing time remaining in the ball game.

1871
02:12:49,000 --> 02:12:54,000
The Giants set to receive now as it will be Mac Percival kicking off for the Bears once again,

1872
02:12:54,000 --> 02:12:57,000
Percival places the ball down on the 40 yard line.

1873
02:12:57,000 --> 02:13:01,000
Giants all set to receive from the far side of the field.

1874
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:06,000
Here to tell you about it once again, the network worried that the Giants would be hurt.

1875
02:13:06,000 --> 02:13:09,000
Mac Percival kicks off for the Chicago Bears.

1876
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:13,000
It's a high one. It's taken by number 27, Randy Minier.

1877
02:13:13,000 --> 02:13:15,000
Minier races up the near sideline.

1878
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:19,000
He is mailed at the 30 yard line on the near side of the field.

1879
02:13:19,000 --> 02:13:24,000
And so it will be 1st and 10 for the New York Giants on their own 30 yard line.

1880
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:30,000
Earl Morrow has replaced Fran Stockenden at quarterback for the Giants.

1881
02:13:30,000 --> 02:13:34,000
So it's 1st and 10 Giants on their own 30 yard line.

1882
02:13:34,000 --> 02:13:41,000
We have 7 minutes and 51 seconds of playing time remaining in this contest.

1883
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:45,000
Earl Morrow has replaced Fran Stockenden at quarterback for the Giants.

1884
02:13:45,000 --> 02:13:48,000
They move out of the huddle up to the line of Scrummage.

1885
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:52,000
Del Schopner is flanked out to the far side and Homer Jones is switched to the near side.

1886
02:13:52,000 --> 02:13:54,000
Morrow takes the handoff.

1887
02:13:54,000 --> 02:13:56,000
He passes good to Del Schopner.

1888
02:13:56,000 --> 02:14:02,000
Del Schopner gets it on about the 42 or 43 yard line and he's dropped there by Curtis Gentry.

1889
02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:07,000
A pass from Morrow to Del Schopner moves the ball up to about the 43.

1890
02:14:07,000 --> 02:14:13,000
So it will be 1st and 10 Giants on their own 43 yard line.

1891
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:18,000
7 minutes and 10 seconds of playing time remaining in this contest.

1892
02:14:18,000 --> 02:14:21,000
And the Chicago Bears are leading 34 to 7.

1893
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:26,000
Schopner flanks out to the far side and Homer Jones splits to the near side to tie down Aaron Thomas.

1894
02:14:26,000 --> 02:14:31,000
There is a marker on the play as the Chicago Bear on the near side was offside.

1895
02:14:31,000 --> 02:14:35,000
I believe it was Ed O'Bradovich.

1896
02:14:35,000 --> 02:14:37,000
A marker on the play.

1897
02:14:37,000 --> 02:14:43,000
6 minutes and 56 seconds of playing time remaining in the contest.

1898
02:14:43,000 --> 02:14:46,000
The Bears leading 34 to 7.

1899
02:14:46,000 --> 02:14:52,000
5 yards stepped off against the Chicago Bears and that makes it 1st and 5 for the Giants.

1900
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:57,000
So the ball has been placed now on about the 46 or 47.

1901
02:14:57,000 --> 02:15:02,000
The man that Earl liked to hit, or has liked to hit in the past has been Aaron Thomas.

1902
02:15:02,000 --> 02:15:06,000
I think that's the boy that they'd like to see open up here.

1903
02:15:06,000 --> 02:15:08,000
Earl Morrow calling the signals.

1904
02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:11,000
Ball to Giants, takes the snap from center, hands the ball off.

1905
02:15:11,000 --> 02:15:13,000
It's carried into the middle by Tucker Frederickson.

1906
02:15:13,000 --> 02:15:19,000
Frederickson carries it past the midfield stripe down to about the 46 yard line of the Chicago Bears.

1907
02:15:19,000 --> 02:15:23,000
Now that should be enough for about a first down.

1908
02:15:23,000 --> 02:15:25,000
They may call for a measurement.

1909
02:15:25,000 --> 02:15:31,000
A handoff from Earl Morrow to Tucker Frederickson.

1910
02:15:31,000 --> 02:15:33,000
They're calling for a measurement.

1911
02:15:33,000 --> 02:15:38,000
We have 6 minutes and 30 seconds of playing time remaining in the football game.

1912
02:15:38,000 --> 02:15:42,000
Randy Minier replaces Tucker Frederickson.

1913
02:15:42,000 --> 02:15:47,000
Minier has just been activated for the Giants.

1914
02:15:47,000 --> 02:15:53,000
Well I think with Minier in there now and replacing Tucker, you're going to see him come out of the backfield.

1915
02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:57,000
I think he's going to throw the football and put it in the air.

1916
02:15:57,000 --> 02:16:02,000
He'll have around 5 receivers to throw to, would he?

1917
02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:05,000
The Giants are up at the line of scrimmage, Dick.

1918
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:08,000
Earl Morrow calling the signals, takes the snap from center.

1919
02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:09,000
He gets away from one tackler.

1920
02:16:09,000 --> 02:16:12,000
There's a pass over to the far side, completed to Randy Minier.

1921
02:16:12,000 --> 02:16:15,000
There is a marker on the play.

1922
02:16:15,000 --> 02:16:18,000
A marker on the play on about the midfield stripe.

1923
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:19,000
Dick Butchers.

1924
02:16:19,000 --> 02:16:23,000
And I believe it's a face mask penalty that will be called against Chicago, Dick.

1925
02:16:23,000 --> 02:16:25,000
Well it's a 15 yarder, Woody.

1926
02:16:25,000 --> 02:16:27,000
It probably isn't a face mask penalty.

1927
02:16:27,000 --> 02:16:30,000
Butchers came over there and really hit Minier.

1928
02:16:30,000 --> 02:16:36,000
Now that's the second time that he's been hit very hard in this ball game.

1929
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:41,000
It's a necessary roughness call against Dick Butchers and the Bears.

1930
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:46,000
Here's the Giants first down on about the 35 yard line.

1931
02:16:46,000 --> 02:16:50,000
And again, Morrow had five men to throw to that time.

1932
02:16:50,000 --> 02:16:56,000
He had everyone out of the backfield, no protection, and threw to the release valve, Minier.

1933
02:16:56,000 --> 02:16:58,000
Up at the line of scrimmage, the New York Giants.

1934
02:16:58,000 --> 02:17:01,000
Morrow calling the signals, takes the snap from center, face into the pocket.

1935
02:17:01,000 --> 02:17:06,000
He's being pulled down behind the line of scrimmage.

1936
02:17:06,000 --> 02:17:08,000
The ball rolls out of his hands.

1937
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:14,000
I believe the play was called dead on about the 44, 45 yard line.

1938
02:17:14,000 --> 02:17:18,000
Ed O'Bradovich nailed him.

1939
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:23,000
O'Bradovich, the left defensive end for the Chicago Bears.

1940
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:30,000
The ball is being put down on about the 43 yard line of the Chicago Bears.

1941
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:34,000
This O'Bradovich, Ed O'Bradovich, is really having a fine year.

1942
02:17:34,000 --> 02:17:38,000
It wasn't really spectacular in the beginning, but now they say his last two football games,

1943
02:17:38,000 --> 02:17:42,000
he's really come on like he's all pro, and he's doing a fine job here today.

1944
02:17:42,000 --> 02:17:44,000
He's been in on many a tackle.

1945
02:17:44,000 --> 02:17:47,000
He's kept the pressure on, and now he's keeping the pressure up on Earl Morrow.

1946
02:17:47,000 --> 02:17:52,000
He certainly has been a big force today for the Chicago Bears, causing the boys, the quarterbacks,

1947
02:17:52,000 --> 02:17:56,000
to throw the ball early and causing these interceptions that's been taking place.

1948
02:17:56,000 --> 02:18:01,000
34 to 7, there's the snap to Morrow. Morrow, being right, gets away from one tackler,

1949
02:18:01,000 --> 02:18:03,000
passes the ball to numbers.

1950
02:18:03,000 --> 02:18:05,000
Is that Randy Minier?

1951
02:18:05,000 --> 02:18:09,000
Minier gets the ball on about the 30 yard line, races along the near sideline,

1952
02:18:09,000 --> 02:18:16,000
and he is finally pushed out of bounds on about the 22 yard line by Curtis Jenfrey.

1953
02:18:16,000 --> 02:18:21,000
So that first 10-10 New York Giants on the Chicago Bears' 23 yard line,

1954
02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:26,000
while we have an opportunity that for 10 seconds more station identification,

1955
02:18:26,000 --> 02:18:28,000
listed the New York Giants Radio Network.

1956
02:18:28,000 --> 02:18:34,000
This is the bright sound in radio, WGY, a General Electric Broadcasting Company station

1957
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:38,000
at 810 on your dial in Schenectady, New York.

1958
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:42,000
Wrigley Field, Chicago, 5 minutes and 49 seconds of playing time remaining,

1959
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:46,000
and the Chicago Bears are leading the New York Giants 34 to 7.

1960
02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:51,000
There's the snap to Will Morrell, a path intended for Joe Schaffner, incomplete,

1961
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:54,000
almost intercepted by Joe Taylor.

1962
02:18:54,000 --> 02:18:56,000
Taylor was covering Schaffner.

1963
02:18:56,000 --> 02:18:59,000
Taylor was right on his back, real fine coverage that time.

1964
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:01,000
He was watching his receiver.

1965
02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:04,000
Had he looked up that time, he would have seen the ball thrown behind Dale,

1966
02:19:04,000 --> 02:19:06,000
and he might have picked it off.

1967
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:11,000
It would have been a touchdown for the Bears, so there was no one in his way to stop him.

1968
02:19:11,000 --> 02:19:16,000
Real fine coverage by Taylor, once again that Chicago front four plus Butkus.

1969
02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:19,000
Butkus was lifting that time, put a lot of pressure on Earl.

1970
02:19:19,000 --> 02:19:21,000
Earl had to get rid of the ball a little early.

1971
02:19:21,000 --> 02:19:26,000
Dallas leading the Wardians in the third quarter, 24 to 10.

1972
02:19:26,000 --> 02:19:32,000
And now Homer Jones is good to the far side, Schaffner flanked to the near side.

1973
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:36,000
Morrell calling the signal.

1974
02:19:36,000 --> 02:19:42,000
And there are markers on the play as the Chicago Bears moved off sides

1975
02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:47,000
as the discussion down there with Will Morrell in the center of it.

1976
02:19:47,000 --> 02:19:54,000
And I believe they're calling a penalty against the Giants for luring the Bears offside.

1977
02:19:54,000 --> 02:19:58,000
Five minutes and 45 seconds of playing time remaining.

1978
02:19:58,000 --> 02:20:05,000
That's right, they had to hold the Chicago Bears team that time right inside the giant offensive line.

1979
02:20:05,000 --> 02:20:08,000
Morrell jumps up, evidently it was one of the guards who pulled him offside.

1980
02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:11,000
They're looking at Andy Gross, he's a young rookie in there.

1981
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:14,000
He might have been the one that pulled him offside.

1982
02:20:14,000 --> 02:20:19,000
Andy Gross has replaced Pete Case in the offensive line for the New York Giants.

1983
02:20:19,000 --> 02:20:24,000
Schaffner flanked to the near side and Homer Jones is split and moved in on the far side.

1984
02:20:24,000 --> 02:20:26,000
Morrell takes the snap from center.

1985
02:20:26,000 --> 02:20:30,000
There is a pass to Cressino who is in the ball game for the Giants.

1986
02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:38,000
He gets the ball on the 20-yard line and he's tackled on the 20-yard line by Dick Pettibone.

1987
02:20:38,000 --> 02:20:49,000
And so the ball is now on the 20-yard line and that will make it five minutes and 22 seconds of playing time remaining.

1988
02:20:49,000 --> 02:20:54,000
Third and seventh. Five minutes and ten seconds of playing time remaining in the contest.

1989
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:58,000
And with the ball on the 20, it is third and seventh for the Giants.

1990
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:04,000
As they move out of the huddle, Homer Jones is on the near side and Schaffner is flanked to the far side.

1991
02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:08,000
Earl Morrell calling the signals, takes the snap from center.

1992
02:21:08,000 --> 02:21:13,000
He went back into the pocket, stepped forward two steps, he could not move.

1993
02:21:13,000 --> 02:21:20,000
A pass was put on him and he was pulled down behind the line of scrimmage back on the 24 by Dick Nevy and Dick Butchers.

1994
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:26,000
Well they're putting a lot of pressure on Merrill and the whole front four is in there right on top of him, Woody.

1995
02:21:26,000 --> 02:21:29,000
They're real strong down there. I don't think they want to let the Giants score.

1996
02:21:29,000 --> 02:21:37,000
They have a lot of pride in their defensive unit and if it looks like this is going to be like this for the Bears the rest of the year,

1997
02:21:37,000 --> 02:21:43,000
they're going to be tough competition and they might, as their players indicate, they feel they have a real good chance at the title.

1998
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:48,000
They'll know a little bit more this afternoon as the Green Bay Tigers meet the Cleveland Browns.

1999
02:21:48,000 --> 02:21:55,000
Frank McCray replaces Obradovich. Schaffner is flanked to the far side. Homer Jones on the near side.

2000
02:21:55,000 --> 02:22:00,000
Marl takes a snap from center. There is a pass intended for Bob Crespino.

2001
02:22:00,000 --> 02:22:07,000
He had his hands on it but couldn't hold it. The pass was just a little low and Earl is just after throwing that ball low.

2002
02:22:07,000 --> 02:22:13,000
Crespino as he came towards the middle of the field, stepped down to try to grab hold of that football but not hold it.

2003
02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:18,000
And so the Chicago Bears take over on their own 24 yard line.

2004
02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:26,000
Right and that was once again excellent coverage that time by Rosie Taylor right on top of Crespino of course in helping him along.

2005
02:22:26,000 --> 02:22:31,000
He's fletched the football too Willie. I thought Bobby was reaching for it.

2006
02:22:31,000 --> 02:22:37,000
Good defensive play there by the defensive secondary in particular Rosie Taylor.

2007
02:22:37,000 --> 02:22:45,000
34 to 7 the Chicago Bears leading the New York Giants. We have 4 minutes and 21 seconds of playing time remaining in the contest.

2008
02:22:45,000 --> 02:22:55,000
Final scores 49 Baltimore 7 Atlanta. 31 to 28 Washington Beach to San Francisco 49ers this afternoon.

2009
02:22:55,000 --> 02:23:03,000
In the third period it is Dallas 24 New Orleans 10. In the third quarter Detroit 10 Minnesota 10.

2010
02:23:03,000 --> 02:23:09,000
And in the third quarter Pittsburgh and St. Louis all tied up 7-7.

2011
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:19,000
We have some defensive changes for the New York Giants. Randy Stanton replaces Glenn Condren. Jim Calvin replaces Bob Lersema.

2012
02:23:19,000 --> 02:23:28,000
Bruce Anderson is in in place of Jim Kaczkiewicz. Jim Moran stays as the sole remaining member of the starting front four.

2013
02:23:28,000 --> 02:23:37,000
Mike Ciccholalla goes in at middle linebacker for Vince Costello. Ed Wysockowski and Bill Swain are the other linebackers.

2014
02:23:37,000 --> 02:23:43,000
Lersema is in there rather than Jim Moran. So Lersema and Colvin are the tackles.

2015
02:23:43,000 --> 02:23:48,000
Anderson and Stanton are the defensive end for the Giants.

2016
02:23:48,000 --> 02:23:55,000
Rake straw calling the signals for the Chicago Bears. Willie Williams replaces Scott Eaton as the defensive halfback.

2017
02:23:55,000 --> 02:24:03,000
There's the snap. Two rakes draw the handoff to Piccolo. Piccolo attempts a slant to the near side of the field.

2018
02:24:03,000 --> 02:24:12,000
And he is stopped after a pick up of perhaps the yard by Edward Zachowski and Clarence Giles assisted by Bob Lersema.

2019
02:24:12,000 --> 02:24:17,000
The ball is placed on the 25. So that will make it second and nine.

2020
02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:23,000
All right Woody and with the fine kicker as Bobby Joe Green for the Bears on their side.

2021
02:24:23,000 --> 02:24:29,000
They'd like to just take this ball and run it. Stay inside the field and not go out of bounds.

2022
02:24:29,000 --> 02:24:33,000
Just keep the clock moving and run this game out.

2023
02:24:33,000 --> 02:24:38,000
The Chicago Bears up at the line of scrimmage. Larry Rake straw calling the signals at quarterback for Chicago.

2024
02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:41,000
There's the snap from center of the handoff to number 41.

2025
02:24:41,000 --> 02:24:53,000
Piccolo, Piccolo, a beautiful broken field running. It's past the 40, past the 50 into Giants territory on about the 47 yard line before he is finally stopped by Clarence Giles.

2026
02:24:53,000 --> 02:24:59,000
Ryan Piccolo took a handoff, looked for an opening, found it and then made his opening.

2027
02:24:59,000 --> 02:25:12,000
Looked for them, found them, took advantage of them as he crossed the midfield stripe, picked up the first down and then some and finally was brought down on about the 49 yard line still in Bears territory.

2028
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:20,000
Well they're blocking. They're working on Mike Piccolo right now and also Jim Colvin and it was fine blocking by Cadill and Pickens that time Woody.

2029
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:25,000
There's the snap to Rake straw, the handoff to Curick. Curick hits the far side of the line.

2030
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:33,000
He gets to about the midfield stripe and he is stopped there by the New York Giants forward wall backed up by Mike Ciccolalla, the middle linebacker.

2031
02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:42,000
Bruce Anderson and Bob Lertema, the right side of the defensive line for the New York Giants spearheading the attack.

2032
02:25:42,000 --> 02:25:53,000
So the ball is on the midfield stripe and it is now second and seven. It's in Giants territory on it but make it the Giants 49.

2033
02:25:53,000 --> 02:26:00,000
Out of the huddle up to the line that's coming, the Chicago Bears.

2034
02:26:00,000 --> 02:26:09,000
Bob Jones is the flanker back now for Chicago. Rake straw takes the snap in center. Bears a long pass and send it down the field.

2035
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:18,000
For Bob Jones it is incomplete. He was covered by Clarence Childs. Jones went down the near side of the field, turned in.

2036
02:26:18,000 --> 02:26:25,000
The pass was thrown so that he could not hold it. He was covered by Clarence Childs.

2037
02:26:25,000 --> 02:26:30,000
Two minutes and three seconds of playing time remaining in the contest.

2038
02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:36,000
Thirty-four to seven the Bears out front. Two minutes and three seconds of playing time remaining.

2039
02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:47,000
It's third and seven. The ball resting on the New York Giants 49 yard line.

2040
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:50,000
Out of the huddle up to the line that's coming, the Chicago Bears.

2041
02:26:50,000 --> 02:26:56,000
Number 43, Bob Jones, flanked out to the far side. Jimmy Jones, the split end on the near side.

2042
02:26:56,000 --> 02:27:05,000
There is a marker on the play, a pass intended for number 43, Bob Jones, incomplete. As we mentioned, there's a marker on the play.

2043
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:09,000
There is an offensive holy moody against the Chicago Bears and that's too bad.

2044
02:27:09,000 --> 02:27:17,000
The pass was completed to Bob Jones. It's too bad for Bob Jones because that would have been his first reception of the year.

2045
02:27:17,000 --> 02:27:26,000
I notice he hasn't received a pass. He hasn't caught a pass all year. I think Rake straw is trying to get him his first reception.

2046
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:31,000
Fifteen yard penalty stepped off against the Chicago Bears.

2047
02:27:31,000 --> 02:27:40,000
And so that puts the ball back on the 31 yard line of the Chicago Bears.

2048
02:27:40,000 --> 02:27:50,000
They're leading 34 to 7. One minute and 55 seconds of playing time remaining in the contest.

2049
02:27:50,000 --> 02:27:53,000
Thirty-four to seven the Chicago Bears leading the New York Giants.

2050
02:27:53,000 --> 02:28:00,000
Next week the New York Giants host the Pittsburgh Steelers at Yankee Stadium.

2051
02:28:00,000 --> 02:28:06,000
The Bears are back in the huddle. The running backs are Brian Piccolo and Ralph Keurig.

2052
02:28:06,000 --> 02:28:15,000
The blanket backs, Bobby Jones, the split end, Jim Jones, and the tight end, Austin Denny.

2053
02:28:15,000 --> 02:28:29,000
I believe that's the two minute timeout so while we have an opportunity here at Wrigley Field, the score is 34 for the Chicago Bears, seven for the New York Giants.

2054
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:33,000
Let's check our scoreboard while we have a moment.

2055
02:28:33,000 --> 02:28:44,000
On our scoreboard, final scores, the Baltimore Coast 49, the Atlanta Falcons seven, Washington came from behind to beat San Francisco 31 to 28.

2056
02:28:44,000 --> 02:28:51,000
Now the Bears are huddling back on the 15 yard line to put the ball in play from about the 30, here again at 20.

2057
02:28:51,000 --> 02:28:56,000
The ball is on the 31 on their own 31. It makes it third and 28 for the Chicago Bears.

2058
02:28:56,000 --> 02:28:59,000
They're now in a triple flanker offense.

2059
02:28:59,000 --> 02:29:12,000
Rake straw takes a snap from center. He hands the ball off to Piccolo, Piccolo, a sweep around the near end, gets past the 35, up to about the 38 yard line, and he's tackled on the near side of the field by Freeman White.

2060
02:29:12,000 --> 02:29:22,000
And so the ball is on the 38 and that will make it fourth down for the Chicago Bears and they will be forced into a punting situation.

2061
02:29:22,000 --> 02:29:29,000
Fourth and 21, one minute and 40 seconds of playing time remaining in this contest.

2062
02:29:29,000 --> 02:29:37,000
And the Chicago Bears are leading 34 to seven. The Giants scored seven in the first period. The Bears failed to score in the first quarter.

2063
02:29:37,000 --> 02:29:44,000
And then the Bears came on strong, 20 in the second quarter, seven in the third, and seven in the final period.

2064
02:29:44,000 --> 02:29:52,000
34 to seven Chicago out front, one minute and 20 seconds of playing time remaining. Back to do the punting is Bobby Joe Green.

2065
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:56,000
There's the snap from center. And there is the boot.

2066
02:29:56,000 --> 02:30:05,000
It's called for by Randy Minier. He calls for a fair catch and downs the ball on the 30 yard line. Good for 32 yards.

2067
02:30:05,000 --> 02:30:11,000
And so it's first and 10 New York Giants on their own 30 yard line.

2068
02:30:11,000 --> 02:30:18,000
The Giants offensive lineup makes its appearance on the field. We have 54 seconds of playing time remaining in the contest.

2069
02:30:18,000 --> 02:30:25,000
Fifty seconds. Next week the Steelers and the Giants. The Giants move out of the huddle up to the line of scrimmage.

2070
02:30:25,000 --> 02:30:31,000
Del Schaffner flanked out to the far side. Homer Jones split to the near side. Aaron Thomas the tight end.

2071
02:30:31,000 --> 02:30:37,000
There's the pitch out. Carried to the near side by Randy Minier. I believe there is a loss on the play.

2072
02:30:37,000 --> 02:30:42,000
He is brought down on about the 26th or 27th by would you believe it? Ed O'Bradovich.

2073
02:30:42,000 --> 02:30:47,000
Once again, Woody. Ed O'Bradovich. He's taking strong and he's having a fine year as I said.

2074
02:30:47,000 --> 02:30:56,000
And he's really when he gets worked up there, he's going to keep the pressure on those quarterbacks and he's going to make it pretty rough on running backs.

2075
02:30:56,000 --> 02:31:17,000
Exactly what he's doing out there today. Time for just one more play. Seven seconds. Six. Five. Four.
