The New York Giants faced Green Bay Packers for the 1961 NFL Championship at New City Stadium in Wisconsin on December 31, 1961.
The Packers were led by third-year coach Vince Lombardi.
Green Bay was coming off a championship loss to the Eagles in 1960
and marched through the 1961 NFL regular season with an 11-3 record thanks to the arm of 27-year-old quarterback Bart Starr.
The Giants were led by veteran quarterback Y.A. Tittle and managed by first-year head coach Ali Sherman.
After two straight trips to the championship game in 1958 and 59, the Giants slipped to third place in 1960
before hiring Sherman to take over in 1961 and lead New York back to the championship game.
This is the NBC Radio broadcast featuring announcers Ray Scott and Jim Leeming.
NBC Radio Sports brings you the National Football League Championship game between the Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants.
Hello everyone, this is Jim Leeming with Ray Scott speaking to you direct from City Stadium in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
It's a cloudy overcast day here in Green Bay with a temperature just about 19 degrees as we go in the air.
Now Ray, this is going to be important today I think as far as the weather conditions are concerned
and just about anything can happen here in Green Bay, right? Ray Scott.
Right you are, Jim Leeming, and good afternoon to you folks.
Yes, Jim, I agree with you that the weather conceivably has something to do with this fall game,
but right about now I don't think we can say enough for what the folks here in Green Bay have done
to get this playing field in what I truly believe in keeping with the time of year
and the weather itself is in marvelous playing condition.
There is no doubt about it, the folks here in Green Bay are proving that they like their football
by the way they've prepared this field for this most important game.
Just a few minutes ago Ray and I walked over the field.
It is not hard, as a matter of fact the temperature here in Green Bay has been well below zero most of this week
and you would expect that it would be hard and of course that would have a great effect on the game,
but it's been covered with hay and they tarp all week long.
They just took it off this morning and it's truly an excellent condition.
As a matter of fact, Coach Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers told us that when the players worked out
on their pre-game workout he thought that perhaps they would have to wear basketball type shoes,
but he said they were slipping and they have decided to go with the regular clean football shoe.
The New York Giants, we noticed when they worked out, did have tennis type shoes on,
at least about 90% of the players, so we'll have to wait until they come up
when the opening kickoff to see just what the Giants have decided on for this ball game today.
The players are well equipped, I will say that.
The Green Bay Packers come into the championship game as of course champions of the West,
having won last year and again this season their record during the regular season,
11 wins against three losses.
The New York Giants won 10 ball games, lost three and tied one in the Eastern Conference of the National Football League.
Vince Lombardi, the very popular coach of the Green Bay Packers, is in his third season here in Green Bay, our national anthem.
The New York Giants are the best team in the world.
We're feeding Coach Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers, in his third season as head coach,
and of course this is his second year in the title game.
Ali Sherman is a rookie coach with the New York Giants.
We'll have the starting lineup for you in just a moment.
The first half of this professional football championship game is brought to you by the nation's insured savings and loan associations.
We want people to save and help them own their own homes.
You're invited to join the 29 million smart Americans who have savings accounts at insured savings and loan associations
and who have learned that where you save does make a difference.
The third quarter will be brought to you by Marlboro, the filter cigarette with the unfiltered taste.
20 rich, 20 mild. So why don't you settle back and enjoy a Marlboro?
For this one, you get a lot to like.
Filter, flavor, pack, or box. Marlboro.
On the fourth quarter, we brought to you by Ford, maker of the Ford Falcon.
Over a million happy owners prove Falcon is America's best selling compact car, America's best compact value.
See the new Falcons at your Ford dealers too.
And now for the starting lineups of the championship game this afternoon, the 29th annual National Football League title game.
Here is Ray Scott.
Right, Jim. When the New York Giants have the ball, their offensive lineup will look like this.
At left, Ben Gowish-Shopner, fifth year veteran from Baylor.
At left tackle, number 79, Roosevelt Brown, and his eighth year from Morgan State.
The left guard, Darrell Dess of North Carolina State in his fourth year in the league.
The center will be Ray Wypeka, a nine-year veteran from Northwestern.
The right guard will be one of the rookies in this New York Giants lineup, a first-year player from Michigan State, Mickey Walker.
At right tackle, another first-year player from the University of Minnesota, Greg Larson.
At the tight end, or right end position, Joe Walton, played his fifth playing in his fifth year from the University of Pittsburgh.
In the backfield, at quarterback, Y.A. Tittle, who has played so magnetically for the Giants this year, the great veteran from Louisiana State his tenth year.
At left halfback, will be one of two first-year players, either Joe Wells from Clemson, or Bob Gators of New Mexico State.
At fullback, having a great year from North Carolina State, Alex Webster, his seventh year.
And at the frickerback position, 11-year veteran from Southern Methodist University, Kyle Rote.
That would be the probable offensive lineup, although Jack Stroud, a nine-year veteran lineman from Tennessee, might well be in there at one of the offensive lineman spots.
For the Green Bay Packers, when they have the ball, at left end, Max McGee from Tulane, his sixth year in the National Football League.
At left tackle, from Indiana, four-year player, Bob Skieronski.
At left guard, Fred Fuzzy Thurston from Valparaiso, this is his fourth year.
The perennial all-pro will be at center from Syracuse, the veteran Jim Ringo.
At right guard will be Forrest Gregg of SMU, this is his fifth year.
He's playing at right guard in view of the fact that, early in the season, Jerry Kramer was injured and has been unable to play since that time.
Jerry's from Idaho.
At right tackle will be Michigan State's former great, in his fifth year, Norm Masters.
And at the tight end, from the University of Michigan, Ron Kramer, this is his fourth year.
In the backfield, Bart Starr, who has come into his own as one of the fine quarterback in football from Alabama, Bart's sixth year.
At halfback, Mr. Do Everything, Paul Horning of Notre Dame.
This is Paul's fifth year, the National Football League's leading scorer this year and last year.
At fullback, the man who trailed only Jimmy Brown of Cleveland as the leading ground-gamer, Jim Taylor of Louisiana State.
Jim's playing his fourth year in the league.
And the flanker back from Colorado, Koy Dowler, a 6'5 speedster, this is his third year.
The defensive lineups we'll give you as the game goes along.
And Jim is what I expect to be in the offensive lineups for this championship game before this capacity crowd in the town that proudly calls itself right now by virtue of the banners all over Green Bay as Titletown, USA.
Jim?
All right.
And as far as championship play is concerned, the New York Giants have played an 11 title game since the first one in 1933 with the plate against the Chicago Bears.
The Giants have won three and they have lost eight of their championship appearances.
As far as the Green Bay Packers are concerned, they have played in a total of five.
They have won three and they have lost two.
Now, this past season saw the Giants and the Packers meet twice, once in preseason play and once during regular season play just three weeks ago here in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
And the strange thing about that is that both games ended in the identical score of 20 to 17 with the Green Bay Packers winning both times.
But in both of those games, it could have gone very honestly either way.
Both of these teams have a great deal of respect for one another.
And as you talk to the players, as we did last night and actually before game time today, you know that they figure this is going to be one of the great ones and it certainly will be one of the great ones, I'm sure, of that of today.
As I say, they both have a great deal of respect for one another.
The players are still in the dressing rooms down to our right and they're getting ready to be introduced in just a few moments here.
We see that the bands, the many colorful high school bands from this area that will entertain at halftime are also entering the stadium at this point.
It's interesting to note that the players' benches here today have both been covered and heated at least to a degree.
Located directly behind the benches, they have a 72-foot dugout-type structure that's been erected.
It's lined with a two-inch reflective-type insulation and within that insulation enclosure there, they have seven new revolutionary infrared heaters.
They're located inside the structure and each provides the amount of heat that you get in a normal home furnace.
They do expect that the players, not in the ball game, are going to be in pretty comfortable states as far as waiting to go back into defensive players when they're waiting to go in, and of course the offensive players too.
As far as the equipment for playing in the game today, many of the players are going to wear winter-type goth gloves.
They're padded on the back of their hand with a smooth surface on the front so they can still handle the ball.
And of course, many of them will be wearing any other sort of equipment that they can get on to keep them warm and yet not limit their activity at all.
I do feel, though, that the field is in such good condition from at least half an hour before game time here that they are going to have too much trouble as far as this weather is concerned.
Would you agree on that, Ray?
I would, Jim, and we were trying to figure out the correct terminology to use to describe a sort of rotating brush that was used in front of jeeps to actually sweep off the last of the straw, or hay if you prefer, that was placed on the field.
So it's in good shape and let's hope at least the footing will have nothing to do with the outcome of the game.
I'll tell you, we're going to have a tremendous football game here today.
Well, we'll be set for the kickoff in just a minute.
The sound of carpenter's work is a good sound, the sound of a growing America.
For the construction business is the nation's biggest industry, a bellwether of our economy.
The money you save at an insured savings and loan association helps your neighbors finance homes.
It is the lifeblood of the construction industry.
Insured savings and loan associations finance one-third of all home construction, providing jobs for carpenters, electricians, painters, plumbers, rovers.
Income for hundreds of factories, which supply the materials that go into these homes, everything from mails to appliances.
And part of this money in turn is spent in retail stores everywhere.
So it's good to know that when you say that an insured savings and loan association, your money, in addition to earning excess return for you,
helps your neighbor own homes, build better communities, and stimulate all business.
Over the years, the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers have met in title play.
Back in 1938, the Giants and Packers met for the first time in championship play with New York winning 23-17 score.
Then in 1939, the Packers shut out the New York Giants by a 27-0 score.
And this, incidentally, was the first shutout in title play history.
It was played at Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Once again, the Packers and the Giants met in 1944 at the Polo Grounds in New York with Green Bay winning the ballgame by a 14-7 score.
This afternoon's payoff, as far as the players are concerned, certainly is a far cry and a great credit to the National Football League in growth.
Back in the first title game between the Giants and the Chicago Bears in 1933, the winning share was $210.
Today, the winner will get approximately $5,300 as his share for the win today on the second place or the runner-up will get about $2,000 less.
So there has been considerable change in the amount paid from the first game up until today to the winning players and, of course, the second place finisher, too.
We pause 10 seconds now for station identification.
This is WGY. WGF on the schedule.
The coaches here today are both very likeable guys and certainly well equipped for the jobs that they have undertaken and the record bears that out.
Vince Lombardi, as we mentioned a while ago, came to Green Bay just three years ago and he has really picked them off the ground last year winning the Western Division title
and losing to the Philadelphia Eagles at Franklin Field in Philadelphia and this year once again winning the Western Division title.
As far as the New York Giants are concerned, their young coach, Ali Sherman, one of the youngest coaches in the football business,
replaced Vince Lombardi actually as offensive coach of the New York Giants back in 1959 when Vince came here to Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Following the retirement of Jim Lee Howe at New York, Ali Sherman moved up to the head coaching job and here in his first year has had a dream come true.
The championship game and no ghost I'm sure could ask for anything more than has happened to young Ali Sherman, as I say, a very likeable guy and a fellow who has done a tremendous job.
He did it as an assistant coach when he was the backfield coach in suck the offense of the New York Giants and has done a tremendous job as head coach in directing them to the Eastern Division title.
Right now the New York Giants are being introduced for this ball game and I think that everything is just about ready to go, right?
You are right, Tim. You know, the National Football League's publicity gentleman, Jim Pencil, the publicity man of the respective ball clubs,
do such a fine job in sending out statistics to broadcasters such as Jim and myself that actually it's difficult to try and pick out just what statistics might conceivably have something to do with the ball game.
But one thing to me is very interesting, Jim, looking at the statistical side of this game and that's the fact that the Giants defensively in the one department that I like to think that counts, giving up points, were the best.
They gave up just 220. Next to them, the Packers. They gave up just 223. And in points scored, the Packers led with 391, right behind them the Giants with 368.
Now the roar you hear in the background is evidence, if you need any other, that this game is being played in Green Bay.
Their favorites are being introduced, the offensive lineup that we gave you moments ago, the offensive starters for the Green Bay Packers.
And you know something right now, although the lights are on, at City Stadium, the side is shining, Jim. I hope that's some sort of an omen.
It certainly is a welcome sight here in Green Bay, I'll tell you that. Ray, talking about statistics, there are a couple of interesting ones that may show something about how these teams like to operate.
Statistically, the Green Bay Packers have shown just a little bit better straight on the ground, although not too much than the New York Giants.
In net yards rushing, the Green Bay Packers have gained 2,350 yards this season, to the Giants, 1,857.
And when you get to the passing game with Y.A. Schivel and Johnny Connolly, who will handle this New York attack so well, the Giants are just a little bit smarter in that department, at least to prove themselves over the season.
The Giants have gained 3,035 yards through the air, while the Green Bay Packers, 2,500 and 2 yards.
Statistically, both of these teams seem to be in pretty good shape for this afternoon's game, and as far as I know, the New York Giants have known that they're worried too much about physically, and Ray, you've been with the Packers for these many years.
Now, how about Green Bay as far as their physical condition is concerned today?
Most of their players, and again to the best of my knowledge, Jim, have come back from whatever injuries they have had during the season, with the one exception I mentioned earlier,
for our Jerry Kramer, who sustained an injury early in the season, and of course they have lost him for the year, but they have made the necessary adjustment at that position.
Max McGee was injured in the San Francisco 49er game, he is pronounced ready.
John Simac sustained an injury at the end of the season, the last game of the season in fact against the Rams, he is pronounced ready.
I would say the one question mark right now would be, and I even hesitate to mention it, but perhaps some sort of a record should be made,
and that is that the Packers, grateful by Jim Taylor, has been something less than his usual physical self.
But time will tell, he certainly looked well in pregame warm-up for whatever that means.
The officials for today's game are right about now bringing out the captain of the Giants, Andy Robustelli, and they'll be joined in a moment.
The referee, George Rennox, and Robustelli, along with Kyle Rote, will be joined by the counter-parts of the Packers, Bill Forrest,
the defensive captain, and Jimmy Ringo, the offensive captain.
In addition to George Rennox, the umpire is Jim Beersdorfer, the headlinesman, John Heiberger, the back judge, Charles Chuck Sweeney, and the field judge is Frank Luzar.
The indication being made that the Giants have won the toss and will receive.
And so this kickoff is just a moment or so away, and I know it's a hackneyed phrase and has been used many times,
but Jim, I honestly think you can feel his excitement.
You certainly can. They've gone over almost every championship game, and there hasn't been a run that hasn't had some point in it that,
well, just outshone the run the year before, and we fully expect that here this afternoon in Green Bay, we're going to have just such a ballgame.
I know that all of the players are ready to give it everything they have, and you can be sure that both coaches and their staffs have done everything in their power
to prepare these teams for this ballgame this afternoon.
The Green Bay Packers go out onto the field, the New York Giants are there, and we're ready for action here this afternoon.
The National Football League title game, the Eastern Division champions, the New York Giants coached by Ali Sherman,
and the Western Division champs, the Green Bay Packers coached by Vick Slombardi, or the play-by-play action, here is Ray Scott.
Right you are, and mighty happy that all of you are with us.
Veteran place kicker Ben Agagianian will kick off for the Packers, defending the goal line to our left.
Deep for the Giants at the goal line is Joel Wells and Bob Gators, two rookie half-backs of Ali Sherman's Giants.
We're set to go, mighty happy you're with us, and let's hope we have a great football game.
This crowd is really coming alive as Ben Agagianian looks at the ball, comes up toward the ball, and the championship game is underway.
It is off to the left. It is going to land at the 15-yard line.
He's picked up by Wells. He gets away from one man to the 20, 25, and he has cut it from behind and stripped down at around the 30-yard line.
Joel Wells takes a comparatively short kickoff. Ray and Nitski makes the tackle.
It is the Giants' ball, first down and 10 from the 31-yard line.
Y.A. Tittle will be the quarterback in a moment.
We'll know whether the Giants are going to try and start with something very surprising.
The Giants, I see, decided to go with regular football shoes.
They have to start at the basketball play field and at warm-up time.
Webster and Wells are in the backfield behind Y.A. Tittle, and it is coming off the left side of Webster.
He's down by the 31-yard line. Joel Wells hit at the 31-yard line.
Henry Jordan broke through, cut off a block, and brought a disaster about the line of scrimmage to Joel Wells, who is starting instead of Bob Gators at left halfback.
Wells played at Winston, 6'1", and 198.
A gain of 1 yard, second down, 9 yards to go. The Giants moving right to left in their own 31-yard line.
Dale Schachtner is a tight left end. Flanking out wide to the right is Kyle Rote.
Y.A. Tittle looks over the packer defense. Snap, fades.
It's a fake draw, though it is a draw to Y.A. and it is Webster trying to go straight ahead.
And he is hit down at the 32-yard line by linebacker Tommy Bettis.
From a third down and 8, a gain of 1 that time.
So it is Schachtner, Roosevelt Brown, Stroud, Dess, Zweitecke, Lyson, Walton, Rote, Webster, Tittle, and Wells for the Giants.
The packers up front have Willie Davis, Dave Hanner, Henry Jordan, and Bill Flinman.
Dan Curry, Tom Bettis, and Bill Flinman for us to the linebackers.
Hank Govinger, Johnny Simak, Willie Wood, and Jess Whittendale on the offense.
Third down, 8-3 for the Giants from their own 32-yard line. Game just underway, no score from Green Bay.
Right, but with a long count and he pays the pass. That's pretty good protection.
Goes out on the right flat to Webster. He comes to the 35-yard line, slips and falls.
He jumps to the 37-yard line and will come up fourth down and 3.
A quick pass, a little flair out on the right flat.
Making the tackle was linebacker Dan Curry.
And the first series of downs, the Packers Defense of Union have held the Giants.
And it apparently will be a punting situation for New York.
And again, the sun begins to shine here at Green Bay.
Doing the punting will be John Chandler. He's one of the best.
Dealing for Green Bay will be Luke Coffender and Willie Wood, down around the 20-yard line.
Chandler will punt him about the Giants' 22-yard line with a sun at his back.
Pass to the center. The kick is away.
It is end over end. Plans at the 30, picked up by Willie Wood at the 25, away from one man, another,
and slides up to his left at the 27-yard line.
Very little run back, and Jim, there's no doubt about it.
This field is going to be a little bit treacherous now that we've actually watched them try and make those cuts.
I certainly think it will be, Ray. It seems to be a little soft on top, actually.
And as they dig in there, they're hitting a hard surface.
At least it appears that way from up here about an inch or so down.
Dark Star brings the Packers up to the line, first down from their own punky 7-yard line.
At fullback is Jimmy Taylor, left half is Paul Horning.
Boyd Dowler flank wide to the right, and Max McGee split left.
Star looks over the defense at his Horning straight ahead, and he drives for about 2 and that's all.
28-yard line, Jimmy Meard, Jim Katkwabich hitting down.
Jim Wingo is the offensive center for Green Bay.
Plank by Fuzzy Thurston on the left side, Horst Greg on the right.
The tackles are Bob Staranski and Norm Masters.
Ron Kramer, the tight end, he'll line up either on the right or left side.
He'll form that time for Horning, second down 9. Jimmy Katkwabich, Dick Moleskiew, Rosie Greer, and Andy Robeskelly, the front four for the Giots.
Cliff Livingston, a fan, Huff and Tom, stop the linebackers.
Here it's Barnes, Joe Morrison, Jim Patton, Dick Lynch, City Bend.
Second down 9, Green Bay, moving left to right from their own 28-yard line.
White Star calls the signals, takes the snap, hands off to Horning,
and he goes off the left side and drives forward to near the 34-yard line.
Back to the left side, he's hit first by Andy Robeskelly with help from Tom Scott and other Giants.
But Robeskelly made the first contact, Bob Staranski led the blocking.
The game is to the 28-yard line as they untile.
And so it is third down, about 3.
Green Bay moving from their own 34-yard line, left to right, first quarter just underway, no score.
Giants took the opening kickoff, were forced to punt after three plays.
The Packers have moved out, first time to the board, with third down and about 2, rather than 3.
Now there swings out right to the right, Max McGee's, hits left.
Ron Kramer is a tight right end.
The line is poised, White Star calls the signals, Giants are ready.
Third down 2, wrong count, might have changed his signal.
It is off to the right side for Horning, and he drives to about the 35-yard line.
He'll probably be short of a first down.
Jimmy Katkavich made first contact, and apparently it's going to be 4-and-1.
Horning gets a yard, trying to slant off to the right.
Katkavich made a fine defensive play, it is 4-and-1, and so the first two times that the Giants and the Packers test each other,
apparently they will both have to punt.
Joey Wells and Joe Morrison will be the deep end for New York, Jim.
It's pretty apparent so far that the quarterbacks are trying to let their teams warm up a little bit and not handle that ball too much.
Boyd Dowler will punt from the Packer 20.
He and McGee have shared the punting this season.
There's the passing center.
The kick is away, and it's a beauty.
It drives Wells all the way back to the 11-yard line.
He comes to his left of the 15, and he loses his footing, but barely goes at the 14-yard line as Elijah Pitt and Forrest Greg,
following first contact by Nelson Taburan, but a penalty marker was dropped.
A tremendous punt by Boyd Dowler.
But there was a penalty on the play.
Backup field comes the ball.
The illegal procedure has been indicated by referee George Rex.
We will await.
It is against Green Bay.
Five yards.
Back comes the ball.
A tremendous punt.
And Jim, I thought about as good a punt coverage as you could ever hope to have off a deep punt by Green Bay.
Certainly was, and the safety man holding on to that ball is amazing out here this afternoon, too.
They had really covered him up, and he just didn't have a chance.
He was just lucky to hold on to him.
Instead of fourth and one, it is fourth and six, and the Packers come out of the huddle and again line up in a punt formation.
Game just underway.
First quarter, no score.
The Packers and the Giants for the Pro Championship.
Dowler waiting for the ball.
Same two deep men.
There's a pass from center.
There's the kick.
This is another good one.
Not quite as deep.
It will be taken by Morrison at the 25, who is right to the 30, and down he goes, pit-pitting.
Elijah Pitts.
Along with Lee Fulkens.
Downfield, the Giants, however, instead of having the ball inside the 15 as they did a moment ago, will have it at the 31.
First down and 10, the Giants will be right to left their own 31-yard line after about five minutes of play.
No score from City Stadium, Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Dale Schoencker slips to the left.
Kyle Rowe pranks to the right.
Joe Wolt in the tight left end.
Webster and Wells in the backfield behind the veteran Y.A. Tittle.
Snap of the ball.
Straight ahead it is Wells to the 35 to the 39-yard line.
Joe Wells, first to your back from Clemson.
And he is within about a yard of a first down at the Giants' 39-yard line.
It will be second down one.
Not a pass has been thrown by the Packers the first time they had the ball.
A little flare pass was thrown by Tittle to Webster on third down the first time they had the ball.
Giants ready on second down one.
You can see a Tittle goes for the big gander on second and short yardage.
Moving from the 39-yard line.
We're set.
Tittle to snap.
Off to the left side trying to find a hole.
As Webster he comes to the 41.
He might have the first down.
Alex Webster of North Carolina State standing to the left trying to pick his way, leaving the blocking with center Ray Witeka.
We will have a measure back.
So, so far, Jim, it's a question of the rival quarterbacks just trying to pick some sort of a little flaw.
Taylor, so far, has been used as a decoy.
It will be interesting to see if Hornan will be the man carrying the ball.
And Taylor, who did so very well in the regular season game against the Giants, will be a decoy or not.
So far, as you mentioned, they are using Taylor as a decoy.
Whether the Giants know about it not being quite up to par, of course, is another question.
Although I would guess that they most certainly do.
It was a first down by inches.
The Giants are the first, first down of the game.
It comes at their 41-yard line with about nine minutes left in the first quarter and no score from City Stadium, Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Rowe points to the right.
Schachtner, the great receiver, slips to the left.
Witeka poised under center, calls a snap, fades the pass.
He's looking over the middle.
He throws back to the right.
And it is going to be dropped by Rowe cutting at field.
Not to cover with Curry, Ben Gruminger, but Rowe was there.
The ball just dripped off his center tips.
It's incomplete.
It will be second down and fed.
So we have Cuddle on first down ten from the Giants' 40-and-a-half-yard line going to Rowe, who ran a down-and-out pattern to the right as the Giants look at it.
I think it's pretty obvious how chilly it is down there with Rowe dropping that because it really was right to him.
And you don't see Kyle Rowe drop very many like that.
Second down ten as the Giants come up to the line of scrimmage.
Rowe is up on the line of scrimmage on the right side, Schalkner is put out to the left.
And it is straight ahead as the flag goes down on a trough play, Joel Wells, but a penalty marker was down.
The Packers defensively have Willie Davis, Dave Hanner, Henry Jordan, Bill Quirman along the line.
The linebackers, Dan Curry, Tom Bennis, Bill Forrester.
The penalty is against the Packers broadside.
It will be second down and five. And the deep men are Hans Neman, Gerovator, Johnny Steinach of Florida,
Willie Willis of Southern Cal, Jess Whitten of Texas Western.
Second down five, the Giants here at their own 45-and-a-half-yard line, Rowe out to the right, Schalkner to the left.
Tittle looks over the Packers, hasn't served crouched yet.
Now he's in a crouched behind Senator Whitechekett, takes a snap.
Dave Tindall, loose ball, falling on I believe by Webster at the 48-yard line.
Picked up a couple of yards, or was it Joel Wells?
No, it was Webster.
The ball bounced, and right on top of it was Webster, the ball carrier.
It will be third and a long two for the Giants from their own 48.
So we come up to that down, which so many times, he's tried so many things.
Third and in this instance, a long two for the Giants from their own 48-yard line.
Just under eight minutes left in the first quarter, no score, Giants with the ball.
Tittle looking around, still not crouched.
Now he is, takes a snap, looking for a quick receiver.
He hits Rowe, and he is one of the nail at the Packers 46-yard line on a quick flip out to the right.
Rowe just took a couple steps down, moved out to the sideline, turned these back to the defender, took the quick pass,
and it's a first down for the Giants, their second consecutive first down.
For the first time, a team has crossed into the other territory.
Giants ball at the Packers 46-and-a-half-yard line, inbounds marker, far side of the field as the Giants move right to left here in the first quarter.
No score.
Rowe again to the right.
Schopner to the left.
Webster and Wells are the backs.
Tittle takes the pass.
And he's going for Schopner, and he falls down, and it's incomplete at the 30-yard line.
It was actually thrown out of bounds, as both Willie Wood, who is the free man, and Jess Whittenton, who did a tremendous job.
You know, Jim, the first time the Giants played the Packers, the game in Milwaukee won by Green Bay in the regular season, 20-17,
Whittenton did what some professional football observers told me was the greatest job playing man-to-man against Schopner.
The first time Schopner they had ever seen, limited to just one reception, and that time again showed how close he can stay to a truly great receiver as Joe Schopner.
Schopner is truly one of the great receivers here this weekend.
It was pretty obvious down there when he just saw on that last play, though, that he had lost his footing because of the turf.
Second down, 10.
Giants ready.
Smack of the ball.
Coming out to the left side, his Webster, and he is through and under for a loss of one.
And it's swing to the left, and the Packers were waiting.
Tom Bennett, Joe Klinman, Henry Jordan.
Webster trying to come outside.
Ball is placed actually at the line of scrimmage, his forward shot is being there, so it is third and 10.
And of course, always be mindful of the fact, as we are, that the Giants have a great place kicker in Pat Spermerow on the bench,
just as the Packers have both Paul Horne and Ben Aguigenian.
So a third down and 10 play coming up as the Giants are on the line of scrimmage and the Packers are waiting.
Little face to pass.
That's pretty good protection.
That's a lot of time.
He's throwing very deep, and it is Rote dropping the ball at the 13-yard line.
Willie Woods and Griminger were both deep, but Rote made a little maneuver at the last instant, which put him just in front of Willie Woods.
The ball dropped out of his grasp, it is fourth and 10.
Into the game is John Chandler.
With the ball at the Green Bay 46-and-a-half-yard line, this modest drive of the Giants comes to an apparent halt with about six minutes left in the first quarter and no score.
Luke Poppender, Willie Woods looking into the sun are the deep man at the 10-yard line for Green Bay.
John Chandler, a great runner, stands at the John 40.
The pass in the center is true. The pick came from the left-topping corner.
A high spiral will go into the end zone in the left corner, and the Packers will have the ball for the second time in the game from their own 20-yard line.
And no doubt about it, Jim, the weather is cold enough when, as you mentioned earlier, a sure-fingered receiver like Kyle Rote has trouble holding onto the ball.
He is having a little bit of difficulty with his right hand, too. He had that injured, and I'm sure that isn't helping him at all on these receptions.
But he is a truly great receiver, and that has to be one of the reasons with this frigid weather.
Packers up on the line at the 20, but star-called signals Taylor and Horning behind it.
Taylor to the right, rather Horning to the right.
And it is Paul Horning off the left side coming to the 20 for the 24-yard line, signing to the left.
And again, it was first a fake to Taylor, then the gift to Horning.
The first time back in Milwaukee, Taylor had one of his great days when he ran for 186 yards against the Giants.
And conceivably, the Packers are trying to take advantage of the fact that they are expecting Taylor.
In a four, second down six, Rosie Greer, the right tackle.
Andy Robeschelli, the defensive right hand, made the spot for New York.
Second down six, Green Bay, moving left to right from their own 24-yard line.
Boyd Dowler to the right, Max McGee to the left.
No score, first quarter about five minutes left in the period.
Star takes the hand off. He's looking for a deep receiver.
He's going for McGee, and it is just over his fingertips at the 36-yard line.
Come in on the play was Dick Wedge.
It touched the fingertips of Max McGee, who had a step on the defender.
And Star, like Fiddle, has shown us already what a tremendous passery is to be on target at great distance.
Well, you mentioned Dick Wedge and the Giants brochured as a confirmed bachelor and the Dick had married last Thursday.
Oh.
Third and sixth, Green Bay, from their own 24-yard line. The Packers have yet to register a first down.
The Giants have two. There is no score, and about five minutes left in the first quarter.
The Giants clear it under the Packers, third and sixth from their own 24. Same offensive setup.
McGee left, Dowler right. Back of the ball.
Mark Star takes the pass, throws it to Paul Horning at the 30. He's at the 35. He's at the 40.
This comes to the right at the 45. He's at the field. Paul Horning is down.
The
Jack Star with a quick pass to the short man. Paul Horning. Whistle on the field.
The Giants are barely one o'clock, Greensboro.
So there's time out on the field with a score. Green Bay nothing and New York nothing.
You know, actually, I've just come from Moebius, and I think there's something wrong with us.
But, Marge, I
You know that family's in Moebius?
Yeah.
They've got us moving the company and the school, buildings, and loan associations, and that's how they paid for it.
But, Marge, I
The Giants is an un-experienced company. It's broken to the point I won't survive until
But, Marge, I
All you do is go in and open an account and then add another month. You're saving very income, too.
But, Marge, I
I don't have to. I can use it to do any of that. There's an insured savings and loan association right there.
But, Marge, I have an account at an insured savings and loan association.
No. Can you?
That's what I've been trying to tell you. But, Marge.
Yes, dear.
There's no reason you can't open one, too, in your own name. Two accounts in a family are better than one.
From City Stadium, Green Bay, Wisconsin, along with Jim Layman, this is Ray Statham.
And we have no score. The Packers have just come up with a 26-yard pass play.
A short flip over the middle to Paul Horning from quarterback Bart Starr.
Horning running very well, moved all the way from midfield before being down.
So, we are ready to go again. The Packers come up to the line, ball at the inbound, mock and air kind of field.
McGee to the left. Dowler is a fairly tight right end, and Ron Kramer is a tight left end.
Dowler now moves out a few steps to the right. Star call, D-signal.
Takes a snap. Paul Horning off the left side, cuts through to the 45-yard line of the Giants before he's down on a quick opener.
Hit down by Rosie Greer behind good blocking by the left side of the Green Bay line. Bob Skoranski, Pucky Thurston.
Game of five for Horning on a quick hitter off the left side. And so far, the timing of his first quarter remains the same.
Jim Taylor has so far been nothing more than a decoy. Paul Horning has been the man carrying the mails.
Second down, five, and a five-yard game by Horning at the Giants 45-yard line.
No score in the first quarter, a little over four-minute cuts in the period.
Packers are ready. So are the Giants. Star call, Pickles.
Takes the snap, takes the pass. No, against Taylor over the middle to the right on the drop way, he goes to the 41-yard line.
Only a fine open field tackle by Cliff Livingston kept Jimmy Taylor running that time on the drop way from putting up even more yardage.
Game of about four. We'll bring up a third down and about one-and-a-half at the Giants 41-and-a-half-yard line.
Giants defensively have cut Cavie Smogolowski, Greer Robustelli, up front.
Livingston-Hubson dropped the linebackers. Barnes, Morrison, Patton, and went to the defense.
Star certainly took that up well. He faked it to Horning, and Horning really carried out the fake to let Jim Taylor go on him.
Big play coming up, third and one-and-a-half.
Snap of the ball, Jim Taylor off the right side. He's at the 40, he's at the 33-yard line.
The third Giants, Joe Morrison, the hitting, going down. Barnes hitting two.
Jimmy Taylor has the first down for the Packers, their deepest penetration.
At the Giants 37-yard line, referee George Rackes indicates first down, Sand Green Bay.
About three minutes left in the first quarter, there is no score.
Ball and bounce marker near the side of the field. Boyd Dowler comes out of the huddle, slips right.
The second Giants, Joe McGee, will be a pretty tight left end. Ron Kramer is a tight right end.
The line is crossed for Green Bay.
Snap of the ball, Jimmy Taylor off the right side. Find Caleight and comes to the 33-yard line.
Before he's met by the great middle linebacker, Sam Huck.
Leading the blocking, Fuzzy Thurston, Ron Kramer, Masters, Greg.
Going to play to the 32-yard line, a five yard, second down, a five.
Over two minutes left in this scoreless first quarter, Giants took the opening kickoff, failed the move and covered.
Packers didn't move, they had the punt. Giants moved for two first downs, forced the punt.
The Packers have held the ball since then from their own 20, and a move down to a second down, five, at the Giants 32-yard line.
McGee to the right, Dowler. Kramer lined up as a tight left end this time.
Snap of the ball, Paul Horning off the left side, to the 30, to the 23-yard line.
It's a play-by-play by Tom Scott and Joe Morrison. Paul Horning drives seven yards for a first down,
almost directly in front of the goal post at the Giants 25-yard line.
Horning, of all the runners, seems to be having the least amount of trouble with footing here today. As a matter of fact, he had not any so far in his cutting and maneuvering once he gets past that line of scrimmage.
Again, Boyd Dowler will go wide to the right. McGee will be a tight left end, and Kramer the same way on the right side.
Practically a seven-man Giants line.
Straight ahead, Jimmy Taylor. He's at the 20-yard line before they hit it. Up the right side, behind time blocking by Norm Masters.
Sam Huff makes the stop. Five-yard game.
Second down, five. Jim, I hear the crowd booing, but quite honestly, I have no idea why.
I think Sam Huff and Jim Taylor had a few words down there. After that tackle, I'm quite sure that the Green Bay fans didn't want one of their great favorites more than any way.
Second down and five. And again, we're happy to tell you, for our benefit, the sun is shining. McGee to the left, Dowler to the right.
Sam Huff, tight left end. Second down and five. Green Bay up the Giants 20-yard line. Closing seconds, first quarter, no score.
Back of the ball. Starface to pass. He's throwing over the middle. And he'll get it out of the hand.
A Dowler and a hitter first.
Second down and five.
Boyd Dowler.
And I'll see if they're good. Say the officials. It is a first down for Green Bay at the Giants 20-yard line. It comes with the unofficial scoreboard clock, showing 35 seconds remaining in the first period.
I believe that that was Eric Spine who thinks that it was a call on him, but Sam Huff ran into him actually before the ball had reached him.
I do believe that that was a man that had a call on him. The referee asks the crowd to quiet down. They do.
First and goal at the seventh. Packers are poised. Dowler, flank right. McGee's good about five yards to the left side. Star calls the signal.
Snap of the ball. Jimmy Taylor off the left side. Finds a little bit of room and drives to about the sixth.
The hole quickly closed up. Sam Huff led the defense to charge.
The ball is shot from Dick Lynch, among others.
He's only played at any about a half yard. And we may or may not have time for another play here in the first period.
Although the official time is stepped on the field by the back judge.
It is usually close to that showing on the scoreboard and the scoreboard clock, which is running, shows just three seconds left in the period.
The ball is shot by Cuddle. There's the gun.
That's the end of the first quarter with the score. Green Day nothing. New York nothing.

Along with Jim Leaming, this is Ray Scott at City Stadium Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The second quarter is about to get underway in this National Football League Championship game.
The Green Bay Packers have a second and goal at the giant 6 1 half yard line.
Now moving from right to left from the ball about 20 yards in from the near side of the field.
The sun is at the back of the Packers now. Green Bay comes up to the line.
Dowler to the right. McGee to the left. Watch star called signals. Wrong camera. Tight right end.
Back to the ball. Paul Horning off the right side. Top of the five. Inbound touchdown.
John Masters and Forrest Greg with Ron Kramer lead the blocking so Paul Horning. And the Packers draw first blood leading 6-0.
Horning with star holding will try to make it 7.
Ball is down. The ticket's in the air. It's good. There's time out on the field to get a score.
Green Bay 7, New York nothing.

Jim, Paul Horning has certainly been a most impressive runner today, but as you have pointed out on several occasions,
his teamwork, a P and a Taylor, with their fakes setting up the other, has made it all possible.
Beautiful stake on the touchdown play.
Char to Taylor to give to Horning.
Here's Ben Aguigenian's kick. It's pretty high.
Wells comes to meet him at the 16th, comes to the 20th.
Sits him down, he goes at the 25-yard line.
Joel Wells, as he slips right there with him, was the young fellow who was sitting down on Phil Manning kickoff for Green Bay, Elijah Pitts.
So now it's the offensive group of the Giants with the ball at their own 25-and-a-half yard line,
moving left to right, Green Bay leading 7-and-0.
Wye fiddle at quarter. Joel Wells at left half. Alex Webster at full. Kyle Rowe at the marker.
Schottner and Walton at the end.
To the left is Schottner. To the right is Rowe.
And off to the, taking off to the left side, fiddle throws to the right side, and it is off the right hand of Kyle Rowe.
And the beautiful fake that time by Wye Fiddleton-Webster.
He's in time to look then to the opposite side, to the right near side line.
His pass was just off target and tended for Kyle Rowe, as Hank Greminger and Dale Curry, dropping back, the left linebacker, were there to cover.
It is second and 10, New York, from their 25-and-a-half.
Second quarter, just underway, Green Bay leading 7-0 over the Giants.
As a draw to the left side, Webster carrying, finds some running room and drives to a 30-and-a-yard line, where he's met by Dave Hunter.
It's a count of about five on the fullback draw with Alex Webster picking his way for five.
It'll be third and five, New York, moving left through right on their 30-and-a-half yard line.
If you look at the Giants bench, you can see Charlie Connery working seriously on that fold, with the Scouts upstairs.
In the quarter to four, the New York Giants continues here, no doubt at will.
The Giants will be in there if they can't move this ball under Wye Tiddler.
A spread formation now for New York, just before the snap of the ball.
And fading to pass is Tiddler. He is looking, he's throwing, the ball is down and it is set for John Yitzke.
He is at the 34-yard line.
John Yitzke intercepts a ball that was bandaged near the line of scummage.
It was by virtue of being tipped short of its target.
Wayne Yitzke, who had moved in at middle line backer, carries it back to the Giants' 34-yard line, and the Packers are in great position.
They are first out of the Giants' 34 and leading 7-0 early in the second quarter.
Backer to the right, McGee, switch left. Ron Fender, the tight right end, as Bart Starr holds up his hands and asks his capacity crowd to be cried.
Snap of the ball, hit a corner, off to the right, looking for a receiver.
He is throwing for McGee, he has it, and he's up to the 14-yard line.
Dick Lynch was defending.
Back comes the ball to the Giants' 34-yard line.
There was the half-back option play, and showing again how dangerous it is when you have a fellow like Mourning, and before that was the Giants, the great Frank Gifford, before his retirement.
The yellow matrata, of course, was they figured that Lynch was interfering.
There was a very fine line between fast interference and playing the ball, and Dick Lynch, oh, that was playing the ball.
Second and 10.
Dowler to the right.
Over the cover, and there's Barnes. Fairly tight left end this time, here's McGee.
Getting back to pass on second down is Bart Starr. He has time, he is throwing for McGee.
He's there, and it's just over his hands at the one-yard line.
Looking back into the side, Jim Patton was defending that time.
So again, Bart Starr tries to go for distance, and it is incomplete, and it's third down, and fed.
Packers seven, Giants nothing. About 15 minutes left in the first half.
The Packers scoring on an 80-yard touchdown drive, with Paul Horning going in on the first play of the second quarter from six and a half yards out, then adding the extra points.
Packers in the huddle, Giants setting up their defense.
To the right, Dowler, Ron Kramer will be a tight right end.
Max McGee comes out to the left. Lynch will move over to cover.
Packers are poised. Giants are ready. Starr pays the pass. Over the middle, it is Kramer at the 25, at the 20.
Mike has waited a 16-yard run at the 40-yard touchdown.
And then, Jim Patton, bringing down Ron Kramer, the tight right end, broke over the middle.
Starr hitting perfectly with a quick toss. First down at the 30-yard line.
Starr comes up with the big third down answer, teaming up with a former Michigan great, Ron Kramer, on a pass over the middle.
Seven nothing. Packers lead. Second quarter, about 12 and a half minutes remaining in the period.
Wallace at the inbounds marker, near side of the field.
That familiar set up, Dowler to the right, McGee to the left. Ron Kramer, tight right end again.
Behind Starr, Taylor and Horning.
Back to the ball, handoff. Jimmy Taylor up the middle, fights only for a couple of yards.
That big giant line was there. Tett Savage, Mochalecki, Greer, Robins Kelly.
Forward progress will be marked to 17-yard line. Taylor gets one.
The Packers offensively have Jim Arndt, Hunter, 21st and 24th, Gregg at guard, Bob Stransky and Norm Masters at tackles.
Kramer, the tight right end. He does a lot of blocking in addition to being a fine receiver.
Max McGee, with usually to the left, Boyd Dowler, Frank Streit, star of the quarterback, Horning and Taylor, the linebacker.
Second down, nine. Packer ball of a giant 17. Packers leading seven nothing early in the second quarter.
Back to Starr. It is straight ahead. Jimmy Taylor trying to find running room crosses of 15 to the first, king yard line.
Met by Robins Kelly, Greer and others of the Giants.
So it will start up a third down as players still on file. Jimmy Taylor slowly getting up.
The ball is going to be at the 13-yard line. It will be third and a long five.
Ball inbound marker near side of the field. This next play of course could decide whether the Packers will have a chance to go for three or for six.
Giants are ready and waiting. The sun right now is shining absolutely beautifully and there are practically no clouds from the skies over Green Bay, Wisconsin.
So Packers come up. Starr looks for the defense.
Back to the ball, fades the pass, looks to the right, is looking with his complete third down, low, hit, foul.
Dark star. Dark star hit a quick flat tenor in the boy Dowler who was in front of the defense.
Hitting on the fingertips at the five, Dowler went in without a hand being right on end. The Packers move into a 13-nothing lead.
Starr will hold for one in.
Ball is not bound, kick in the air, looks good. There's time out on the field. This is Starr. Green Bay 14, the New York Giants, nothing.
The sound of carpenters in New York is a good sound, the sound of a growing America.
For the construction business is the nation's biggest industry, a bellwether of our economy.
The money you save at an insured savings and loan association helps your neighbors finance homes. It is the lifeblood of the construction industry.
Insured savings and loan associations finance one third of all home construction, providing jobs for carpenters, electricians, painters, plumbers, wheelers,
income for hundreds of factories which supply the materials and go into these homes, everything from mail to appliances.
And part of this money in turn is spent in retail stores everywhere.
So it's good to know that when you save at an insured savings and loan association real money, in addition to earning excellent returns for you,
helps your neighbor own homes, build better communities, and stimulate all business.
Well Jim, so far the fans here at Green Bay have had a lot to cheer about.
They certainly have. It's been a well-called game so far and on the part of quarterback Mark Dahr, he has mixed them up just perfectly here.
Diagonian preparing to kick off a giant deep bend. Gators and wells are up at the 10 yard line. There's the kick. This one will drop wells and it will take it up to 10, comes to the 15, 20, swings to the left, 25, to the 30, and down at the 32 yard line under a host of tackers.
To give you an idea, for those of you who do not get a chance to follow professional football regularly, as the Green Bay Packers are now on defense, here are some of the sizes. Willow Davis, 240.
Dave Hanner, 260. Henry Jordan, 250. Bill Flinman, 250. The front four.
Vaughn Backer, Sam Curry, 240. Ray Nischke, 235. Bill Foster, 240. Y.A. Tittle is still a quarterback. The Giants again go into a spread with only wells behind the quarterback Tittle.
And Tittle fakes the pass. He throws at it and he's far away out to the left flat as Willie Davis put a tremendous rest on Y.A. Tittle.
Willie Davis is a fellow who blocked that pass that was intercepted just a moment ago before the series that carried Green Bay in for their second touchdown.
Davis is putting a great deal of pressure on Y.A. Tittle from his defensive left hand position.
Tittle, that time I believe Jim, had visions of throwing a little screen off to the left and throw a well, but the ball was 92 yards behind him.
Second down, Giants from their own 32. Again they go into a spread. Webster to the right, Walton to the right, Roke to the right.
Fading to pass is Tittle. Pretty good protection. Throws over the middle and it is way over thrown. Intended for Walton, Newark, Nischke, Whitson, and we're all back there.
And Tittle was on target that time to the extent that on the infield free pass it will be third in pass.
Second quarter has about 10 minutes remaining. Here at Green Bay Wisconsin, if you join this late, the Green Bay Passers lead the New York Giants by a score of 14 to nothing.
On a touchdown run by Horning, a pass thrown from Starr to Dowler, two extra points, but successfully by Horning.
The Giants come out of the hollow. They are not in the spread this time. Wells and Webster are both in running position, third in pass.
Tittle fakes the pass. He's looking. He's looking over the middle. He throws and headed for Roke.
Here's the Giants, 35 and down he goes.
The Giants really do intersect at this field on a pass intended for Roke.
The Tigers have their second interception. They have the ball at the Giants, 36 yard line, first and 10.
There's only one way to stop for Cattus in this league. You've got to put pressure on them because they're all great and that's just what the Green Bay Packers have done to why Tittle here this afternoon.
They have put tremendous pressure on him and as a result they are ahead 14 to nothing.
The Packers offensive unit is ready. To the left McGee, to the right Dowler. Kramer on the left side as a tight end. Ron Kramer.
It is straight ahead Jimmy Taylor trying to find running room. He comes to the outside to the 32 yard line.
Before he is hit down by Dick Lynch and Jim Patton. Jim Taylor running off to his left.
Tom Scott was in on the play as well. For the Giants, Jim Scott Carriage, 240 from Dayton.
Dick Mosolesky, 260 from Maryland. Rosie Greer of Penn State, two manys.
230 pound Andy Robesetti. That's the front four.
Chris Liddings, from UCLA. Sam Hough of West Virginia. Tom Scott of Virginia, the Linebackers.
Hewitt Barnes of Purdue. Joe Morrison is in there as well.
From Cincinnati. Jim Patton of Mississippi. Dick Lynch from Notre Dame.
That's the Giants defensive unit on second down six.
Snap of the ball. Paul Horning at the right side. Big Hoyle to the 26 yard line before he is hit down.
A quick opener. Pat Carriage wrestles down Horning who hit him very quickly.
And then Hough's come in to help as well.
It will be a third and one at the 27 as the ball is spotted. 20 yards in, near side of the field.
Second quarter has about eight minutes remaining. The Packers are leading the Giants 14 to nothing.
Green Bay with the ball. Third and a long one at the Giants 27.
To the right, Dowler. To the left, McGee. But McGee this time will only split out about five yards.
Giants heavily masked up front. Snap of the ball. Jim Taylor at the right side.
Fikes his way to the 25 and then maybe a little bit more.
It will be close for first down. Big pile up. Pat Cavie, Moldzilevski.
The Linebacker on that side. Cliff Livingston. All in on the play. They're still on pilot.
Let's see where they spot the ball. We're going to have a measurement.
Jim, how in the world before a game starts one can predict breaks like we have had today.
And the team capitalizing on them is why it's so difficult to even try and predict the outcome of a game like this.
In the next football league I don't think anybody can make any sort of a prediction.
It's well known around this league that any team can beat any other team on a given day and oftentimes that is stopped at.
But I think that anyone who has watched this league long enough must agree on it.
These are just tremendous football players on both sides here this afternoon and of course all around the NFL during the regular season.
It's been proven week in and week out.
The roar of the crowd told us it was a first down at the 25 yard line. Rain bays out of the huddle and ready to go again.
Snap of the ball. Pitch back to Taylor coming to the outside. He cuts at the 25.
He's at the 20 out of bounds at the 20 yard line.
As he's belted out by Dick Lynch and actually came out of bounds backwards.
The big play that time, the big block that time was thrown by Fuzzy Thurston.
Inside of that block then moved Taylor to pick up about five yards. Will bring up second down five.
As Taylor came out to his left to the near sideline with the Packers moving right to left here in the second period.
While spotted in bounds marker, near side of the field, second down five, Green Bay at the top 20 yard line.
With a little better than seven minutes unofficially remaining in the first half and the Packers leading 14 to nothing.
Line to the right, Dowler. To the left, McGee. Lynch covers McGee. Barnes is on Dowler.
That's the way it looks at the moment.
Ball snaps, star fades, is at the pass, hands off to Horne and he goes ahead on a half back drop right to about the 17 yard line.
Wrinkled down by Big Dick Modzelecki.
It appears that Horne will be short of a first down by about two yards.
Although there's still one piling.
The ball is spotted at the 17. It'll be third and about two.
At the risk of being repetitious here, it is Star who deserves just more credit I guess that I can give him up here for his wonderful ball handling.
And of course his faking and play calling has been outstanding, at least in my opinion so far today.
Our big third down, two plays about to unfold.
Ball snaps, Paul Horne off the right side, makes his cut and he dives to about the 15.
He actually just dove and burrowed his way to about the 15 yard line.
We will watch the referee and the headlinesman to see if it is a first down. It is!
When you have a fullback such as Jim Taylor, the fans, especially Green Bay fans, consider him of course a real powerhouse, which he is.
He's considered all around the lake and Paul Horning is not considered a power runner.
I think mostly because of Jim Taylor banging that back for a little bit, he's got 20 power too.
The Packers come out of the huddle and are set at the line of scrimmage. McGee left, Dowler right.
Star takes his to Taylor off the left side and he goes for just a couple to about the 13.
Greer, Robustelli there for medium.
The Packers offensively, as in Curie alignment, have Bob Staronski, Fuzzy Person, Jim Ringo,
Forest Greg, Norm Masters, Ron Kramer, doing the bulk of the blocking up front.
Max McGee, the split left end.
Dark Star, Paul Horning, Jim Taylor, Boyd Dowler rounding out the backfield.
Tom Moore is up and sort of jumping up and down in front of the Packer bench in front of us and we may see him in a moment.
He is a backfield replacement for the Packers.
Down at last play, two yards at most, second down eight at the giant 13 and a half.
Star face to pass, looks, goes over the middle for Taylor at the five, touchdown.
Over the middle. Now the last time, Jim, when Star hit Kramer the last time on the way to a touchdown,
he was a tight right end and broke over the middle.
This time he lined up at the tight left end, broke over the middle, was hit at the five,
but carried his man into the end zone for a touchdown. Horning will try to add another point.
The ball is down, kicks in the air, it's good.
There's time out on the field with a score.
The Green Bay Packers 21, the New York Giants nothing.
You know what, Charlie, I've just come from labor and I think there's something wrong with us.
Get mine.
You know that family really made the work. Well, those guys gave them the counter and they're sure they're going to learn a situation
and that's how they paid for it.
But Marge, I will.
Not going to be any extra charge. If they can do it, I will.
But Marge, I will.
All you do is go in and open an account and then add another one.
Your savings are in kind of huge.
But Marge, I will.
But Marge, I have an account at an insured savings and loan association.
What? How?
That's what I've been trying to tell you.
But Marge, there's no reason you can't open one too, in your own name.
Two accounts in a family are better than one.
Here at Spenny Stadium in Green Bay, Wisconsin, along with Jim Leeming, this is Ray Scott.
And so far, and I always like to qualify things in a situation like this, Jim, so far the Packers have certainly been our most impressive ball club,
but for no other reason because they've been able to capitalize on the breaks that are coming their way.
They have that, and this league, they would count either team out, no matter what the score is, until that final whistle blows.
Good, I could hear them getting ready to kick off, Ray.
Now, you can come to the ball.
This kick will be taken by Wells at the 11th, to the 15, 20, right side, 25, swing to the left, to the 30,
touches way to the 39-yard line.
Nitchie has him there, along with Dan Curry and Lee Fulton.
So the Giants will have the ball.
They have been optimized so far by two-fives interceptions.
Both led to touchdowns, and Charlie Connery will be in as quarterback as you predicted he might be.
Connery wearing tennis shoes sends the Giants into a strength formation strong right.
Connery fades the pass.
He looks.
He has time.
As long as that isn't here, it is going to be falling at the 43-yard line of the Giants, harmlessly,
as Dave Connery puts tremendous pressure on Connery.
And Jim, once again, the pressure being put on the passer, whether so far it be Chidler or Connery,
by this forward wall of the Packers has been just unbelievable.
As I mentioned a while ago, Ray, the only way you can stop these great passers,
that's make them throw it as quick as you possibly can, and that's just what Green Bay has done this afternoon.
Unofficially, we have the Giants completing two of 11 passes and have had two intercepted.
Both led to touchdowns.
Second and 10, Giants from their own 38 moving left to right.
Connery, snap of the ball, fades, he gets the pass, handed off to Webster on a drop way off the left side.
Next he's way to the 45-yard line.
Alex Webster, running with tremendous power, is finally there at the top 45-and-a-half, or six-yard line,
again of near seven.
Webster getting up a bit slowly.
He was hampered somewhat by injuries through the season, but he had a great year,
ranking only behind Jimmy Brown and Jimmy Taylor as a leading rusher in the National Football League,
third down and three.
Packers lead 41-0.
Second quarter has about two minutes remaining.
Giants moving left to right with a third and three, and the veteran Charlie Connery,
14 years in the league from Ole Miss.
He sends Roke to the right, Schauffler to the left.
Wells and Webster behind him.
Now they move up to the right again on a spread.
Webster moving to the right.
Finally fades the pass.
A penalty marker is down.
He is going for Walton, and Willie Wood almost intercepts as he breaks it down at the 17-yard line,
but a penalty marker was dropped.
Joe Walton, the former fifth star, tight end, broke downfield.
Willie Wood that time covering him along with Hank Griminger.
The ball was broken down, but the penalty is against Green Bay.
Referee George Renick indicating offside.
It gives the Giants a first down, their third of the game.
It comes to midfield.
First down the Giants at midfield.
Ball 20 yards in, far side of the field, three and a half minutes left in the first half.
Packers leading by 21-0.
Touchdown run by Hornan, two touchdown passes by Starr.
One to Dowler, one to Ron Kramer.
Extra points by Hornan.
The Giants are up to the line.
Bill King is in the backfield now in place of Webster, formerly played at Vanderbilt.
Snap of the ball.
Connelly fades the pass.
He has a lot of time.
Flows out to the left, and it is in and out of the hands of Rose at the 45-yard line of Green Bay,
and the left is black to the far sideline.
Bill King, he also, hampered by injuries much of the season, plays his collegiate ball at Vanderbilt.
He is in the backfield replacing Alex Webster, and as we told you a moment ago,
Webster got up very slow after going about seven yards on a draw play.
Joe Wolfe just looked about a fraction of a second too late on that one because he was,
he was pretty well open and the check hit him just about right too,
but he had looked back just a fraction of a second too late.
Second down, ten at midfield for New York.
Walton this time lands up way out to the right.
He's outside of Rhoades as Connelly fades the pass.
Look, he is throwing for Rhoades.
He's down the middle and it is caught, and he is tackled at the 15-yard line.
A beautiful catch by Kyle Rhoades right over the middle,
and it was Willie Wood defending and helping on the tackle along with Hank Rementer and the Giants.
And their first real threat of the game with a first down as the veteran Charlie Connelly,
as he has done so often, rallies the Giants forces with a drive that moved to the packer 15,
first and ten with a little over three minutes left in the first half,
and Green Bay leading by 21 to nothing.
Whistle on the field.
Connelly is going to the bench to talk apparently to Ali Sherman.
So we are going to have a brief wall in activities here.
So we tell you right now that we have ten seconds for station identification.
This is WGY-WGF and good afternoon.
Well, Jim, it is amazing how Charlie Connelly time and time again can come off that bench
and rally the Giants just when they need him most.
Charlie has done it so many times over the years for the New York Giants,
that the New York Giants fans just expect him to do it.
In other words, when he comes in there, they say, well, Charlie will pull it out for us,
and he has done it with us so many times.
On that last pass reception by Kyle Rhoades, I would guess about now that Kyle has warmed up.
He dropped a couple in the first quarter when he was warming up,
but he has a great pair of hands, and he very seldom drops a one anywhere near him.
And on that one he was well covered, actually, by wood.
I think from here on in, if they get a near him, he is another old pro,
and a true old pro too, a guy that the fans have come to count on,
the Giants fans have, and he has done the better, lets them down.
And so the Giants are ready, and are up for the line, going to the right.
Shot to a tight left end, Kyle Rhoades a pointer on the right side.
Snap of the ball, Phil King on the draw to the left side.
He is at the 15, he is at the 10, he is at the 8-yard line going off to the left.
Phil King, finally nailed by Bill Quinlan and Ray Mitchke.
A good game as Phil King moves inside the Packer fan going to the far side line.
Ball spotted at the inbounds marker.
Far side of the field at the Packer 8-yard line, and it is second down three.
A little better than two minutes left in the first half, the Giants have plenty of time.
Here is the score, they trail 21-0.
The Packers striking early.
Kyle sends his Giants up to the line.
Webster is back in the backfield now, Alex Webster, shot near to the left.
Snap of the ball, off to the right comes Webster.
He is down at the 6-yard line by Mitchke and Dan Curry.
Close to a first down, within about a yard of a first down.
Whistle on the field.
The two-minute warning is about to be given to Vince Lombardi, the head coach of the Packers,
and now to Ali Sherman, the head coach of the Giants.
Two minutes remain in the first half.
At Green Bay, Wisconsin, the Packers have a lead, 21-0,
but the Giants are threatening with a third and one coming up at the Packers 6-yard line.
Phil King is an exceptionally big guy for a halfback.
He's just gone out of the game.
He's six-four, weighs 225 pounds, and he's one of those fellows that the Giants
hope and fully expect that someday he's going to develop into a real fine halfback,
and he shows them plenty of steam as he took that ball and almost got away.
The Giants are ready.
Third and one up at the 6.
Snapping the ball, and it is Webster coming up straight ahead,
and he may or may not have the first down.
Well, I noticed that Jolly Connerly is wearing his sneaks.
He's the only one of the Giants, and he figured that he could do it better with the sneaks on,
and he is wearing them out there now.
I may have called the last ball carrier as Alex Webster.
I think I did.
It was Joe Wells, and he is now replaced by Geters.
They did not make the first down.
It is still fourth and one at the 6.
The rookie Geters is in the backfield along with Webster, fourth and one at the 6.
Ball is snapped.
Out to the outside come Geters, looking for receiver throws, and he overflows,
hits the hand of Holtz in the end zone, and it falls behind him in complete.
Bob Geters swinging out to the right.
Throw pass and headed for Roach in the corner of the end zone on the right.
He hit the left hand of Roach, and the ball dropped mindlessly in the end zone as far as they're looking, sir,
and it's a touchback, first down, Ken Greenbay from the 20.
That was a good call by Jolly Connerly.
He did catch the, in fact, he touched a little bit by surprise on that.
They didn't expect Bob Geters to pass, and the color had gotten free,
but he threw just a little bit too high for him.
Greenbay takes over from their own county as they push back the first real threat of the Giants today.
Star hands off to the right, Paul Horning to the 20, 25, to the 30, 35, 37-yard line.
Paul Horning.
Paul Horning off to the right, cut back beautifully, moved to the 36-yard line.
A giant has been shaken up with about one minute left and a half,
and this is going to require a timeout to be called for him,
and Bart Starr is coming to the near sideline to confer with Vince Lombardi,
and it is always, I think, perhaps a little unfair, Jim, to pick out one player or another,
particularly at this point in the game, but I am truly amazed by the performance of Paul Horning
with the somewhat limited time that he has had to practice.
He seems to be the only back in there running from scrimmage that is having little or no trouble with putting,
and he is wearing the cleated shoes, and as we mentioned before the ballgame started,
the Giants had come out on the field for their pregame warmup with sneaks on.
The Green Bay Packers had tried it earlier, actually before they had come out for their official pregame warmup,
and Vince Lombardi, the coach, said that he just didn't feel that they were getting,
or would have any advantage at all by wearing the sneaks,
so they decided to go with the regular cleated football shoe.
The Giants warmed up with the sneaks, and Coach Jolly Sherman undoubtedly made the same decisions
as they are wearing the cleated shoes too, with the exception of Charlie Cuddery,
and he is in there, and Jolly plays it pretty much the way he wants to as far as his equipment is concerned.
You've been in this league a long, long time, and every time you watch him play,
you just have to appreciate that a master at work.
One of the truly great defensive backs in professional football,
Jimmy Patton was shaken up on that last play in his seventh year from the University of Mississippi,
and although on his feet is leaving the game,
he'll be replaced by a rookie back from Arnold, Alan Webb, 5'11 and 1'80.
First down, Green Bay, at their 37-yard line.
Time is in. We're ready to go.
Dowler to the right and he to the left.
Tom Moore is in the backfield along with Horning.
He is in there in place of Jimmy Taylor.
Snap of the ball.
Horning to the left side.
Touch to the 40, 45-yard line.
Horning running beautifully behind fine offensive blocking.
Moves for seven yards, and it will be a second down, three, at the packer 44.
The Packers immediately call a timeout to conserve the time remaining here in the first half.
On the first half, 52 seconds.
Score, Packers 21, Giants nothing.
If you join the slate, the first touchdown of the game, scored by Horning,
six and one-half yards after a scoreless first quarter on the first play of the second period.
A pass interception by Nitske at the Giants 34 set up the second touchdown.
A pass from Starr to Dowler of 13 yards.
Hank Reminger intercepted a pass at the Giants 36-yard line.
Mark Starr hit Ron Kramer with a 13-yard scoring pass.
Horning converted after every TD, and it's 21-nothing right now, and we're ready to go.
Second down, about three.
Green Bay at their own 44 moving right to left.
Dowler to the right.
Kramer a tight left end.
McGee outside him. He's quick left.
Giants with a five-man line right now on second down three.
Starr hands off to Tom Moore off the right side.
He pikes his way through about the 48-yard line.
He might have a first down.
Cat Savage and Sam Huck make the stop.
Forward progress near the 48.
We'll watch the referee, George Reynolds.
First down as indicated.
Green Bay a first down as the clock is running.
And end of the game for the Packers goes Ken Eyman, number 53, a second-year player from southeast Missouri.
He goes onto the field, and he is coming immediately out.
The Packers just at this point give an indication of how they feel about this ballgame, although they have a 21-nothing lead.
They certainly aren't putting that away.
They could have, I suppose, as a matter of fact, they could have had just 26 seconds left in the first half.
They could have run out the clock, but they decided on calling time out and perhaps going for that big one to get it at halftime here with maybe 28 points if they possibly could.
The Giants have other ideas, and time is brought back in, so back to race guy.
Tom Moore, for those of you who have not followed the Packers this year, is in his second year.
They're back in there now in place of Jim Taylor, and Tom played at Vanderbilt.
Second, rather first down, Green Bay at their own 48, to the right, Dowler to the left, McGee.
Star, couch, under center, calls the Green Bay signals and fades back to pass.
He is looking, he is throwing for Kramer, and he has it at the 35-yard line.
30-yard line, 35, pulling, making way to the 15-yard line.
The clock is running. The Packers may not have time for another play. They're hurriedly lining up.
The Giants are trying desperately to get onside with seconds left.
First down, quick pass, penalty flag is dropped.
The scoreboard clock shows two seconds remaining in the half.
The Packers are trying to line up. The Giants are trying to line up.
A timeout is right now in effect because the penalty flag was dropped,
and apparently there are seconds remaining, and Green Bay, with a five-yard penalty now being assessed against the New York Giants for offside,
will have a chance at a field goal.
Horning will attempt it. Star will hold, tangled to the right from the Giants, 17.
We're just about ready. A lot of confusion there for a moment.
Star is in holding position. Horning is ready.
Ball is snapped, the ball is down, the kick is in the air.
It's good.
That's the end of the first half with the score.
The Green Bay Packers, 24.
The New York Giants, nothing.
Both of the teams have come back on the field, and we're getting ready with these fans about to leave the field,
so we'll be set to go with a second-half kickoff in just a moment.
While we have a minute here, let's see how well you know your football.
You've heard of some long passes, but do you know who threw the shortest touchdown pass of them all?
Think hard, and while you're thinking.
Here's the answer, Eddie LeBarrick.
Last year with the Dallas Cowboys, he threw a touchdown pass from the two-inch line.
Sometimes the little ones count in a big way.
Here's another one for you.
What's the filtered cigarette with the unfiltered paste?
That's easy. Marlboro.
We're in a mess tonight with a can of Marlboro.
Interesting statistics, a couple of them on the first-half action here.
The Green Bay Packers recorded seven first downs to one for the New York Giants in rushing and passing.
The Packers have five, and the New York Giants have two.
Yards gained rushing net 101 for the Packers and four for the Giants,
and yards gained passing net 106 yards for the Packers and 45 for the Giants.
So we've seen a great effort in the first half of this ballgame by the Green Bay Packers.
They were up, they were ready, and I can assure you too that the New York Giants were just as ready and just as up.
The Packers have capitalized on a couple of pass interceptions.
The line play has been just about all you could ask for from any team defensively,
especially from this Packer defensive unit.
We're going to pause ten seconds for station identification.
Well, as the teams get ready for this second-half action, let's go over for the second-half starting lineup, Van Ray Scott.
Thank you again, Jim.
The roar of the crowd for the Packers as they take their position.
The last band entertaining here at halftime is still on the field, although down at the goal line to the left.
The Packers have taken their position as they are about to receive their first kickoff of the day,
because they kicked off at the start of the game, and leading by 24 to nothing, of course, the Giants have not kicked off yet today.
The first band to receive for Green Bay as they have been most of the year will be Tom Moore and Herb Adderley.
Tom from Vanderbilt his second year, Adderley a first-year player from Michigan State.
The Giants are getting set to kick off, and the band is leaving the field.
We almost had three games here, Jim, including the band.
They had a halftime activity, and they weren't going to quit until they were finished with it.
That's all the work to it.
Kicking off will be Pat Sumerall, the veteran place kicker for the Giants.
He, of course, played at Arkansas.
The country, George Rennix, is still holding up play because, oh, I'd say 15 or 20 of the bands, then, are at the goal line to our left and behind the New York Giants.
And again, the sun is shining.
Although don't get me wrong, there's no heat wave in Green Bay.
All things considered, it's just about as much as we could hope for.
We're ready to go.
Sumerall comes to the ball.
His kick is high and fairly short.
It will land at the 20, be picked up and taken to the 25, 30, 35, and down falls Ray Nitsky.
I do believe.
That's right, Ray Nitsky, who played some pullback in his football career, although known in professional football as a linebacker, takes the short kickoff,
moves it to the Packers' 36-yard line, and we're trying to cut, he falls down.
The Packers have the ball from their own 36 moving right to left, and this second half is underway.
And Jim Patton, we are happy to tell you, is in there defensively for New York.
He was shaken up in the first half.
Jim Taylor is at pullback, Horning at a halfback, star of the quarter, Dowler to the right, McGee to the left.
Long count by Bart.
And off to the left comes Horning.
He cuts and comes for about three to the 38.
Greer, Scott, Rosie Greer, Tom Scott, team up to make the stop.
Kane on the play, as the ball is spotted just one yard to the 37, and it's second down nine.
The Giants with Kat Kavich, Mosolevski, Greer, and Robustelli up front.
Livingston, Huff, and Scott, the linebackers.
Barnes, Morrison, Patton, and Lynch are the deep men.
Second down nine, star has the Packers ready.
Snap of the ball, Bart Starr off to the left after a fake is going to run.
He's at the 35, 40, 45, flag down, Giants 41-yard line, fumbles, the ball is loose, picked up by the Giants.
Jimmy Patton, swing, squeeze left to the Giants 40, goes to the 45.
I remind you a penalty flag was dropped.
And down goes Patton at the 42-yard line.
Barnes made the tackle on Starr.
A penalty marker was dropped as the ball was snapped.
It was against Green Bay, declined, of course, by the Giants.
And here is the first break of the game, I do believe, Jim, that we could say has gone to the Giants.
That's right.
The Giants on that play took a page out of the Packer book in the first half and put the rush on Bart Starr,
but he ducked under him and took off.
We have a bit of confusion because some members of the Packer offense are not leaving the field,
they're coming back on the field.
And the ball is picked up by the referee and is being placed now at the Giants 47-yard line.
The Packer's offensive unit is going back on the field.
And apparently one of the officials had blown the ball dead.
Jim, that's all I can figure at this moment because at the Giants 47 is where Starr hit the ground.
That I remember. There seems to be no question about it now that one of the officials had indicated to the Giants
that it was their ball, but another one had blown it dead up there on the 47-48 yard line,
before the 47-yard line.
So as confusion reigns here for just a moment, it's going to be squared away,
and it's going to be the Green Bay Packers ball. There's no question about that.
And even Beth, the New York Giants are mighty unhappy about it.
Kyle wrote the offensive captain of the Giants is having a discussion down there as to what did happen.
I see now that the linesmen, now not the headlinesmen, but the linesmen are now moving as if the ball is going to be placed
somewhere around the Packer 41-yard line. And all I guarantee you right now is confusion.
I admit to being confused. And the ball now, instead of being at the Giants 47,
is being taken back to near the Packer 40, now the 35-yard line, illegal procedure.
Against Green Bay has been indicated by one of the officials, but Andy Robustelli of the Giants,
one of their captains isn't satisfied. He's now asking for further explanation from the officials.
I'll assure you that 36 players and coaches on each squad are a little bit confused at this time here,
but the officiating of the National Football League is truly outstanding, and it's squared away right now.
It is Green Bay's ball. There's no question about that.
It's their ball. They've lost five yards on an illegal procedure penalty,
and it's first and 15 Packers from their 35-yard line. The play was dead.
In other words, when the ball was snapped, nothing counted after that the way it turns out.
So we're set to go. White Star calls signals from the Packer 35, gives to Hall Horning,
cuts off to his right, cuts in at the 35-40, 45-yard line. Hall Horning, hit down finally by Sam Hubb
and Erich Barnes, in on the play, 10 yards. Second down, five, Green Bay from the 45.
Again, great blocking by the Green Bay offensive line.
Strung Horning loose at the line of scrimmage as he made his cut back toward the middle.
Second and five, Green Bay from the 45. Second half just underway, Packers leading 24-0.
Medina to the left, Dowler to the right, Ron Kramer a tight left hand.
Giants dig in, Packers are ready. Long count by Stars, snapped with the ball, straight ahead.
Kramer runs into Huff, game on the play, yard and a half. Huff hit him high.
Then he back, forward progress, a gain of one at most.
It'll bring up third down and a long four. Packers ball, they're 46.
And a key third down play comes up. No scoring here in the second half. Green Bay leading by 24-0.
They play slight lull in the activities now as Jimmy Ringo came to one of the officials to ask a question,
but were quickly set to go.
The Packers lead on three first half touchdowns, two on passes by Stars, one on a run by Horning
and a field goal by Horning on the last play of the half.
They lead 24-0. Dowler to the right as the Packers come out of the huddle.
McGee to the left.
Third down and a long four. Green Bay from their own 46.
Snap of the ball. Stars falls down, gets up, throws quickly, and it's off target by a good margin.
Bart that time trying to backpedal and pass, fell down, got up, but his pass intended for McGee,
a quickie out on the left flat, was far short of its target. It is incomplete,
and the Packers will apparently be forced to punt.
This will be, to my best recollection, Jim, just the second punt of the game by Green Bay.
That's right, and the Star is getting fine protection and has the entire afternoon to this point.
Wells and Morris are deep for the anticipated punt by Boyd Dowler.
The pass from center. The kick is partially blocked. It is going to land on the giant 45,
rolls to the 40. It is picked up by one of the giant linemen, Ray.
It is humbled now, and one of the Packers tried to go for the ball,
but the Giants wind up with it near their own 40. That was Larry Hayes, a rookie from Vanderbilt,
who picked up that partially blocked punt, but it went beyond the line of scrimmage.
Hayes picked it up, humbled, recovered by the Giants. New York has the ball,
their own 41-yard line. It's amazing how things even out.
It was near their own 41 a moment ago that the Giants apparently had the ball,
although they did not. Connerly at quarterback wearing the sneakers.
Back to Connerly. He pays the pass. He throws out on the left flat to Webster,
spins away from one man, but he's submerged at the 35-yard line.
A quick pass in the left flat as Connerly first takes a handoff, threw out to the left,
trying to take advantage of the tremendous defensive charge in Green Bay
and set up some sort of a screen pass. There is a loss of the play of five yards,
second down 15. Giants moving left to right from their own 35.
Third quarter has about 10 minutes left. Packers lead 24-0.
Rope to the right, Schoenker to the left. Baiting the pass, Connerly.
He gives to Webster and down he goes on a draw play.
Loss, four yards. A tremendous defensive charge led by Dave Hanner,
the veteran tackle for Arkansas for the Packers. Loss on the play, four yards.
It will be third and 20. So this time instead of the screen,
Connerly tried to take advantage of that defensive charge and set up the draw play,
but Hanner was waiting. Third and 20, the Giants from their own 30-1.5.
To the right, Rope to the left, Schoenker.
Snapping the ball, Connerly baits the pass.
There's time. He's throwing over the middle and it is Walton with the ball
and he catches it at midfield. He's hit down almost immediately.
He may be short of a first down. The ball will be spotted.
Right on the 50, it will be fourth and about one. Score, Packers 24, Giants nothing.
Time left in the third period, a little better than nine minutes.
A new unit comes in led by Don Chandler, the punter.
The Packers are dropping back Willie Wood and Luke Carpenter if indeed it is to be a punt.
Third quarter still has nine minutes left unofficially.
It is in punt formation. Morrison is in front of him blocking for him by about eight yards.
Pass from center and it is a punt and it's a beauty.
To the left corner, it will land at the 15 and go out of bounds.
Deep in Packer territory at around the 14 or 15-yard line,
the Packers will have the ball on a 24 to nothing lead.
It will be Star, Taylor, Horning, Dowler, McGee, Ron Kramer, Bob Sturavsky, Norm Masters,
Forrest Gregg, Fuzzy Thurston, and Jim Ringo for Green Bay.
The offensive unit, the Giants, will have Kat Kavage, Motaleski, Greer, Robis Kelly,
Livingston, Huff, and Scott the linebackers, Barnes, Morrison, Patton, and Lynch, the four deep men.
First down Packers from their 14 and a half, moving right to left.
Snap, off to the left side comes Taylor and he is down for a loss of about a half yard,
trying to slant out to the left.
Tom Scott, the right linebacker of the Giants from Virginia, made the defensive play.
Apparently at halftime, the defensive coach of the Giants must have felt that the linebackers,
especially, were committing themselves too quickly in that first half,
and they seem so far in the third period here to be waiting just a fraction of a second longer
before committing themselves.
It winds up no gain and second down 10.
To the left McGee, to the right Dowler, with about eight minutes left in the third quarter
and the Packers leading the Giants 24 to nothing.
Star fades to pass.
He throws out to the right and penned it for Horning.
It is short and incomplete.
A tremendous rush that time put on by Rosie Greer and Jim Catcavey.
Four star to throw before he planned.
It is incomplete and Tom Moore comes into the Packer backfield.
He'll replace Jimmy Taylor.
It'll be third and 10, the Packers.
The hand is for Jimmy Taylor, who has performed so well for Green Bay throughout the entire season.
Packers, third and 10 play coming up deep in their own territory.
McGee will be splitting about six, seven yards of left end.
Dowler, wide Packer to the right side.
Star gives to Paul Horning.
He goes out to the right.
He's going to make his cut.
He comes to the 20 and that's all.
About five yards for Horning and it will be fourth and five as Erich Barnes,
the former Purdue player, made the main defensive move for New York and in goes the kicking team.
Now the last time the Packers punted, Boyd Dowler's punt was partially blocked.
He is in there again to punt.
We believe that Bob Sims, who played at Rutgers, is responsible for partially blocking the last punt.
Dowler will be kicking from the five.
Pass through center, big rush for the Giants.
This kicks away.
It's tremendous.
He is going to drive Morrison back over his hand.
He drops the ball.
He is going for it at the 22-yard line.
It's loose.
Everybody's fighting right now.
Forrest Gregg recovered that punt as Joe Morrison going backwards saw the ball roll off his fingertips.
Joe Wells tried to go for it.
A 60-yard punt winds up being fumbled by New York, recovered by the Packers' Forrest Gregg.
And so the Packers now have come up with two pass interceptions and now the recovery of a fumble.
First down Green Bay at the Giants' 22-yard line, far side of the field at the inbounds marker.
Starr asks the crowd to be quiet.
Tom Moore straight ahead finds a big hole, fights for the 20- to the 15-yard line.
Hit down by Sam Huff, a quick opener behind blocking for the right side of the Packer line.
Ringo, Masters, and Gregg.
Forward progress, 16-yard line.
Gain of six, second down four.
About six minutes left in the third period.
The Packers leading 24 to nothing.
There has been no scoring in the third quarter.
Dowler goes to the right as the Packers break out.
Tom Moore and Paul Horning lining up behind Starr.
Max McGee is to the left.
Ball is snapped.
It is Paul Horning going straight ahead, fumble at the 15-yard line.
Horning fumbled as he was hit.
After a gain of about one, players on file, let's see who's on the ball.
The Packers apparently recovered. The ball will be spotted just nose of the ball over the 15.
Norm Masters, I believe, fell on him.
Gain of one, third down three.
A little over five minutes left in the third period.
Will Diskelly, that time in Greer, forced the fumble with their hard tackle of Horning.
Third and three at the giant 15.
Horning looks over the giant defense, snap of the ball, takes on a runoff to the right throws instead,
and it is batted down and almost intercepted by Barnes at the five-yard line.
That time Starr wanted to hit Horning, but his pass was off target,
and Barnes grabbed the ball and threw it to the ground disgustedly
because he was unable to hold onto the ball with an apparent sure interception within his grasp
and saw the field goal kicking in and is on the field.
You know, Barnes really hates himself when I'm a drag.
Oh, boy.
Spot down and three, and Starr will hold.
For Horning's apparent attempt at a field goal at the giant 22, the ball will be placed.
Ball is snapped down, kick is in the air.
It's good.
There's time out on the field with a score.
The Green Bay Packers 27, the New York Giants nothing.
Hey, wait a minute.
I thought it was Filder, Flavor, Flip Top Box.
No, that's the old song.
Now, Marlboro comes in a king-size soft-tac too, so they changed the words.
You gave them up, you liked them, but you didn't buy them.
You didn't buy your friends, but you didn't buy them.
Same cigarette?
Same good Marlboro flavor, both ways.
Some people like the soft-tac, some like the box, so we give them a choice.
Fits right into the song, too, doesn't it?
You gave them up, you liked them, but you didn't buy them.
You didn't buy your friends, but you didn't buy them.
Marlboro, the filter cigarette with the unfiltered taste.
With about five minutes left in the third period, the Green Bay Packers Ben Agagenian is about to kick off.
The Giants deep men are Joe Wells and Bob Gators.
As the Packers lead 27-0.
Ready call it breaks or whatever you want.
It really heads up football, but a couple of fast interceptions
and a tremendous kick by Boyd Dowler led to the scoring by the Packers.
Agagenian's kick is a very deep one.
It is into the end zone.
It will be over the end line.
Gators watch as it roll over the end line for a touchback,
and the Giants will have the ball at their own 20-yard line.
And the quarterback will again be the veteran Charlie Connerly.
We'll pick up the other members of the New York Giants offensive unit.
Alex Webster, number 29, will be in there.
Joe Wells, the first year back from Clemson.
Kyle Rhoades will be the flanker.
Del Schachtner and Joe Walton, the ends.
Rhoades goes to the right.
Schachtner to the left.
The Giants set from their own 20.
Connerly fades to pass.
Gives ground, throws a screen out to Webster.
He comes and he is hit from behind and down at the 25-yard line.
Out on the right flat, a quick screen with Kyle Rhoades leading the blocking.
Henry Jordan caught him from behind.
Game on the play at 5 yards, second down 5.
Third quarter, Packers lead 27-0.
Here in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with a little better than 4 minutes left in the period.
That's unofficial.
In the National Football League, the back judge keeps the official time.
Up front, the interior linemen for New York, Roosevelt Brown, Darrell Dess, Ray Whitecker,
Mikey Walker, Jack Stroud, second down 5, New York on the 25.
Connerly fades to pass.
He's looking.
He's throwing out to the left and it is off the left hand of Joe Walton,
an incomplete out of bounds at about the 42-yard line of New York.
Curry and John Simac over the cover.
Walton got his left hand on it, but that's all.
Third and 5.
4 minutes left in the third period.
Packers lead.
Webster goes out.
Phil King comes in, a change in the offensive backfield of New York.
The only scoring here in the second half.
Paul Horning's second field goal of the game.
From 22 yards out, it was set up when the Giants fumbled a punt,
and the Packers, Forrest Gregg, recovered.
Phil King, along with Wells, lining up behind Connerly on third and 5 from the Giants,
25 and Connerly fades to pass.
He looks.
He's being chased.
He throws and it is almost intercepted by Bill Forster at the 30,
and it's incomplete.
It was intended for Wells.
But Willie Davis, again, put tremendous pressure on the passer.
We have unofficially the Giants completing 6 of 19 passes with two intersections,
and the Packers defensive unit has been mighty tough today.
So it's fourth and 5, and the Giants' Don Chandler is in to punt.
Willie Wood, the new carpenter, are deep for the Packers.
The punt will come from about the Giants' end.
The ball will snap to Chandler.
The punt is away.
It is off to the left.
Fair catch by Willie Wood at the Packer.
41-2 yard line.
He is run into, and a penalty flag is dropped.
A penalty is being measured against the Giants,
as Willie Wood was run into after signaling for a fair catch and making the catch.
First down, the Packers at the Giants, 43-yard line, after the penalty is measured off.
Bart Starr, Paul Horning, Tom Moore, Lloyd Dowler, the Packer to the right,
McGee is split left, Ron Kramer tight left end.
The Giants are faced. The pass goes to the right to Dowler, has it at the 40, to the 40-35.
A lot of bounds at about the 32-yard line.
Barnes made the tackle, a quick pass as Dowler went about five yards with a stationary target,
star hitting perfectly.
Hand on the play as to the Giants, 32-yard line of 11 yards and a Packer first down.
Late in the third period, just under four minutes remaining,
Packers leading by 27-nothing.
The ball is at the inbounds marker on the far side of the field.
The shadows begin to creep across City Stadium here at Green Bay,
covering about perhaps a third of the field right now.
Only Dowler is out wide. He's to the right side.
Tom Moore, rather, Paul Horning straight ahead to about the 26-yard line.
Andy Robuskelly was the first to meet Horning, blocking lead by Staransky, Thurston.
Game on the play, about six yards, second in a long four at the Giants 26-yard line.
Out of the huddle come the Packers and out to the right goes Dowler to the far side line.
On the open field side, split wide by about 10 yards, is Max McGee.
Star fades to pass. Has good protection. He's throwing for Dowler.
He has it at the Giants 13-yard line.
Barnes shoved him out of bounds.
Dowler that time took that pass and Jim, he couldn't have been more than inches inside that sideline.
He was just in there and here is Barnes, of course, figuring he was out,
but the official was right on it, right along the sideline there.
As he caught the ball, he did have it in bounds, definitely, and then stepped out after he had clear possession of the ball.
The Packer drive continues on a first down of the Giants 13-and-a-half.
Again, to the right, Dowler to the left, McGee.
Horning and Tom Moore behind the quarterback, Star.
He's got the snap of the ball. Off to the left is Horning looking for a receiver. Still looking. He's throwing for McGee.
And it is just off his hand in the end zone of the left corner.
That time Horning threw with somebody grasping at his leg and he had a awful lot of time here.
Paul Horning is playing one of his better games.
Although he's played a lot of great ones over the years here in Green Bay.
And, incidentally, his mother is sitting right below us here.
Do you know that she's mighty proud of her son this afternoon?
I'm sure she's had many afternoons in college and as a professional football player, she's had a great deal of pride in his.
Tom Moore comes out. Jim Taylor goes in. Second down, 10 Green Bay at the Giants 14.
So it's Horning and Taylor now behind the part, Star.
Star fades to pass, has good protection, being rushed from the one side.
It goes now for Ron Kramer. Touchdown!
Ron Kramer in the left corner. Got behind the defensive back. Star hitting beautifully.
Ron Kramer has his second touchdown.
As he went down and out to his left to the corner of the end zone.
Star has fired his third touchdown pass. His second to Kramer.
Horning will try to make it 34.
Ball is down. It's kicked. The penalty flag is dropped.
Referee Rennox is waiting. It's good. The penalty was against the Giants.
There's time on the field with the score now.
The Green Bay Packers, 34. The New York Giants, nothing.
If you know your pro football, you probably know the answer to this.
When you name the famous lineman who's now a big name in Major League Baseball,
be careful now. This question can fool you. While you're thinking of the answer.
Why don't you settle back? Then have a close way to smoke the lineman back.
We're going to die in four.
Make yourself feel the way that you should.
Don't have a lot of oil left to feed your friends.
Who was that lineman? Cal Huddred. Today he's the chief umpire of the American League.
But from 1927 to 1936, he was an all-co tackle with the Packers and the Giants.
Now here's another one. What's the filter cigarette with the unfiltered taste?
You guessed it, Marlboro.
You get a lot to like with a Marlboro.
I can say, slay the snack or buck.
Well, Jim, so far in this game, there's just no doubt about it.
It's been the Packers' day and they just can't seem to do anything wrong.
Team effort is the desire of every coach and every football player and every football fan, too.
And we're seeing it here.
Eleven men or 22 men defensively and offensively for the Green Bay Packers this afternoon.
Then Ikegenian kicks. Joel Wells takes it up to ten.
Comes to the 15, 20, swings to the left, 25, to the 30, to the 35, 34-yard line, and there he's down.
Elijah Fitz and Willie Wood are there to make the play.
The Giants ball first down at their 34-yard line.
If you join this way, we will tell you that the Giants threatened once in the first half.
And on fourth and goal from the Packers six, a pass fell incomplete.
That's been their biggest threat. Why a Tittle is back in a quarterback.
Behind him are Phil King and Bob Gators.
And Tittle asks the crowd to be quiet. The referee joins him.
The fans in Green Bay today, and I guess we should have the praise that Jim, understandably so,
have so far had an awful lot to cheer about.
Certainly have. People often wonder why a quarterback will do that, ask the fans to be quiet.
And you've heard of audibles, and perhaps you wondered what that meant.
He changes occasionally the offensive play when he comes up and looks over the defense.
We're ready to go now. Why a Tittle looks over the defense.
Jack Ball there at 34, moving left to right, late third quarter.
Packers lead 34-0. Tittle fades, throws to Kyle Rhoade in the right flat.
He fumbles, and the ball is recovered.
First by a Packer, then a giant is on it, and it's a giant ball up there on 48.
Joe Walton winds up with the ball. The pass was two-rode.
Rule complete. One tackle fumbled.
One of the Packers, Tom Venice, was on the ball. He slid off.
Joe Walton was done and was caught. A giant ball.
What an effort by Joe Walton. He was about 10 yards away, but he just never gave up.
He had a chance to get that ball, and he dove on it.
It's a giant first down at the giant, 48.
To the right rope, to the left, Schoffner, and fading to pass Y.A. Tittle.
He throws, and it is complete to Schoffner. He's at the Packers 40.
He's at the 32-yard line, and down he goes at the 34-yard line.
Del Schoffner is hit by Tittle, and the Giants are on the move.
Willie Wood makes the tackle. First down, New York.
Forward progress ruled the Packer 32-yard line.
About a minute left in the third period.
Giants desperately trying to get in there for a score.
They trail, 34-0, with just about a minute unofficially left in the third quarter.
Y.A. Tittle back at the helm as he was at the start of the game.
Schoffner splits to the left side. Cow rope flanks right.
Now they go into a spread formation, strong to the left.
Tittle fades, tries to hand off, falls down at the 39-yard line.
Tittle, that time, faking a handoff to the only back who had lined up behind him.
That was Pop Gators.
Fell down, boss on a play, from the 32, from the 39, a 7-yard, second down 17,
and only seconds remaining, according to the scoreboard plot, in the third period.
That star has thrown three touchdown passes.
Horning has run for another.
Horning has kicked two field goals and has converted successfully after every six pointer.
The Giants break out on second and 17 from the Packer 39.
The Giants moving left to right and looking into the sun.
Schoffner's to the left and rope to the right.
Tittle throws quickly to Schoffner.
He catches it, gets away from one man, and he is going to be hit down at the 31-yard line by Willie Wood.
A quick pass, Tittle to Schoffner, running a slant in from his left end position.
He ain't on the play to the 31-yard line of 8 yards, third down and 9.
And we may not have time for another play.
In this period.
There's the gun.
That's the end of the third quarter with the score.
The Green Bay Panthers, 34.
The New York Giants, nothing.
The third quarter has been brought to you by Marlboro.
The filler cigarette with the unfiltered taste.
Why don't you settle back with a Marlboro?
You know, it takes mighty good makings to give you unfiltered taste in a filler cigarette.
And that's what you get in the famous Marlboro recipe.
20 rich, 20 mild, with a pure white, select-rate filbert.
So relax.
Settle back with a Marlboro.
You get a lot to like.
Flavor, flavor, pack or bags, Marlboro.
The fourth quarter is brought to you by Ford, maker of the Galaxy.
The Ford Galaxy can outperform the most expensive American luxury cars and does it in a whisper.
Why not see the elegant 62 Galaxy now?
See for yourself what Galaxy can do with the brand new high-performance Thunderbird engine.
And see for yourself how Galaxy can save you the time and trouble of frequent car servicing.
Your Galaxy will require servicing only twice a year or every 6,000 miles.
See the elegant 62 Galaxy now at your Ford dealer.
We pause 10 seconds for station identification.
This is WG Rise Connector.
The fourth quarter, Green Bay, Wisconsin, along with Jim Leeming, Ray Scott on hand,
Giant Ball third and nine at the Packer 31 and Tittle fades the pass.
He's throwing it on the right flat.
It is incomplete.
It was overthrown at the 15-yard line.
Intended receiver Kyle Rhoades.
It fell incomplete.
It will be fourth down and nine.
YA Tittle at quarter.
Phil King and Bob Gators in running back position most of the time.
Although the Giants have gone into what I have referred to, Jim,
for want of a better phrase, quite frankly, as a spread formation,
which sees only the one running back in position actually to take a handoff from the quarterback
as they have moved either strong right or strong left,
moving the other back out as an actual inside flanker.
Northbound, nine.
Giant Ball out to the right rope to the left.
Schoffner.
Now it is Walton splitting out more to the right.
They're in the spread, strong to the right.
Tittle fades the pass.
He has a little bit of time, but not how he goes at the 40-yard line.
Willie Davis, Dave Hanner, Bill Quinlan.
YA Tittle that time, in all honesty, just never had a chance.
It appeared for a second that he was going to get that pass away,
but right about then, Hanner was the first to lead him.
And down he went, and this Packer defensive unit has given the ball over to the offense.
Green Bay Ball, first down at their 40,
and the Packers defense has been just tremendous so far, Jim.
Davis must get a big pat on the back from Coach Vince Lombardi
after the ball game that he's played today defensively.
Moore and Horning are behind Star.
Moving left to right, it is Horning trying to go off the left side,
and it's no gain. Horning, the second man through.
Hit down by Kim Katkiewicz.
Forward progress to 40, although Horning was eventually wrestled back about four yards by Jim Katkiewicz.
No gain, second down 10.
Early fourth quarter from Green Bay, Wisconsin,
the National Football League's championship game has seen the Packers so far
play just about as sharp a game as you'd ever see anybody play anywhere.
Star has the team set, second and 10 from Green Bay's 40.
Pitch to the left, to Tom Moore trying to go wide, gets away from one man,
is wrestled down for a loss of 35 by two Moore.
A loss of five at the 35, I should say.
Dick Lynch first to meeting, Sam Huff helped pin him down.
Tom Scott there as well.
Loss of five, third and 15.
In the second half, the Packers have scored 10 points.
Jim Taylor goes into the game.
He'll be in the Packer backfield.
Tom Moore will come out.
The clock's showing a little better than 13 minutes left in the contest.
The hand you hear in the background is for Tom Moore.
Third and 15, Green Bay from their own 35, to the left McGee, to the right Dowler.
And Star fades to pass, straight back right over the middle to Horning.
He's at the 40, 45, 48.
He'll be short of a first down by about a yard.
A quick pass over the middle as Horning worked himself free.
He is finally coupled by Joe Morrison and Sam Huff.
And getting up very slowly is going to be Sam Huff.
Horning tried to help him through his feet as it will be fourth and about one.
And anticipating a punt, Joe Morrison will be dropping back along with Joe Wells.
And Dowler will punt from about the Green Bay 35-yard line with about 12 and a half minutes left in the game.
Pass to the center.
The kick is away.
It's end over end.
Fair attack at the giant 20 by Joe Morrison.
Giants will have the ball at the 21 as the ball is spotted.
Let's see who the giant quarterback will be.
It will be Y.A. Tittle.
Y.A. Tittle will be in the backfield as quarterback.
Phil King will be at one position.
We'll see if it's going to be Gators or Wells at the other.
Alex Webster, who was hampered a bit by injuries several games ago, has not played very much today since early in the game.
Snapping the ball, hitting the pass is Tittle.
He's looking.
He's throwing deep for Schoffner and Wittenden intercepts.
He is being wrestled all the way back to the Packer 20-yard line by Schoffner.
And as Wittenden, matching Schoffner's stride for stride, puts the ball away from him.
There's third interception.
Green Bay has the ball.
And Jim, I think the folks would be interested in that little piece of paper that was just handed to us.
Well, the paid attendance here today, 39,029.
This is a record Green Bay crowd.
It's above the capacity of the stadium here because of the temporary seats which have been installed for this championship game.
First down, Green Bay at their own 38-and-a-half-yard line.
That's where the ball was spotted.
That's where it was intercepted.
Star throws quickly to Dowler.
He drops it in the right flat.
Tempers flare for a moment as Barnes and Huck and Dowler had a difference of opinion.
It is merely an incomplete pass.
The officials immediately take over.
It'll be second and ten, Green Bay, from their own 38-and-a-half-yard line.
Early in the fourth quarter, Green Bay leading by a score of 34-0.
Ball at the inbounds marker near side of the field, out to the right, Dowler, to the left, McGee.
Horning is in the backfield along with Tom Moore.
About a six-man giant line as Huck moves right into that line right now.
Top to the left is Tom Moore across the 40-to-about-the-42-yard line.
He's hit up right by Huck and Morrison.
Forward progress will be spotted.
Let's see.
The ball will be placed down at the 41-yard line.
Let's call it again a three-and-third-down seven.
Ray, if you could boil this down to one word, I think that you could say the Packers had momentum today,
and the New York Giants just haven't been able to get on track with but a very few exceptions.
We're ready to go, third and seven.
Snap of the ball.
Penalty flags are down all over the field.
We'll watch the referee.
They've drawn at least three markers down.
The penalty is against New York, five yards.
Ball placed down at the 46.
Upside indicated it will be third and now about two instead of third and seven.
Giants defensive unit, Kat Kavich, Modzelewski, Greer, Robus Kelly,
Livingston, Huff, Scott, Darnes, Morrison, Patton, Wich.
Third down to Green Bay from their own 46.
Fourth period, Packers lead 34 to zero.
To the right, Dowder, fairly tight left end, McGee, Ron Kramer, a tight right end.
Starr takes to the first man, gives the horny.
He goes to midfield to the guy at 47.
Kicking his way beautifully behind a tremendous offensive charge by that line led by Forrest Gregg this time.
Gregg in front of the ball carrier, first down Green Bay at the giant 47-yard line.
Tom Moore comes out of the game for Green Bay.
The second game is Jimmy Taylor and it's a draw play to Taylor.
He's at the 45, 40, 35.
He's at the 30, swings to the right, 25, 20.
He hits Barnes and goes out of bounds at about the 13.
A draw play to Jimmy Taylor.
Jim went straight ahead, he's on to the right, no to the 14-yard line.
Green Bay has another first down, Jim.
On the play, Jim had a scarcity of blockers, but the couple that he had out ahead of him,
he certainly used them well in gaining about 10 or 15 extra yards with the use of those couple that he had out there with him.
32 yards for Taylor, first down Green Bay at the giant 14.
Starr gives the horny, swings to his left.
He is going to be down at the 20-yard line for a loss of six as Andy Robustelli, playing defensive right end beautifully,
turned the play in and helped make the tackle at the same time with a bend from Kat Kavich.
Loss of six, second down and now 16 Green Bay on the giant 20 with about nine and a half minutes left in this championship game
and the Packers leading by 34 to nothing.
Bart Starr directing a beautifully diversified Green Bay attack has used just about every weapon
in the arsenal created by Vince Lombardi and his staff to score today.
To the left, McGee to the right, Dowler on second down, 16 at the giant 20.
And Starr fades the pass, throws out to the right to Horny, behind blockers, he cuts it to 20,
goes to the 15, drives to the 12.
A quick flip in the right flat behind a sprain of blockers, a Dowler, Masters, Ron Kramer making the tackle,
Dick Mozaleski, game on the play, eight yards, it will be third and a long seven at the giant 12.
Perhaps eight would be closer to correct.
Starr allowed the rush, flipped to Horny, game to the seven.
Starr fades the pass, has time, looks, he's throwing to the corner for Kramer, it is incomplete at the goal line.
Joe Morrison defending in the left corner, it will be fourth down, the kicking unit comes in.
And he has been successful today from the 17 yard line and from the 22 yard line with field goal attached.
He is two for two.
The ball will be placed down, I believe I set it to seven, I beg your pardon.
It was at the 12 yard line that play started, but it is fourth down and about eight.
And Starr will be in holding position from about the giant between the 19 and 20 yard line and angle off to the right.
Ball is snapped down, kick in the air, it's good.
There's time out on the field with the score.
The Green Bay Packers 37, the New York Terrians nothing.
It's the galaxy, for a new galaxy, teachers of the future night.
You can see them, you'll be even more servicely, try for your maintenance, that may as well be the galaxy, for a new galaxy.
There are challenges in the galaxy, but they're the best value of all, and they're more valuable than all.
The galaxy will go 30,000 miles between major lubrication, 6,000 miles between oil changes and minor lubrication.
You can see them, you'll be even more servicely, try for your maintenance, that may as well be the galaxy, for a new galaxy.
There are two adventures here, the galaxy 500 and galaxy life.
Now, at your Ford dealers.
We're in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the scene of action, ladies and gentlemen, along with Jim Leaming, Ray Scott on hand,
with about eight minutes left in this championship game.
And the Green Bay Packers leading by a score of 37 to nothing, and Ben Agagenian preparing to kick off.
We've had a cold day, but actually it's turned into a very beautiful day, with few exceptions, the sun has been bright and shining.
And Agagenian's kick is fairly high, and at the six yard line is taken by Gators to the 15, to the 20, tries to go to the right,
and is submerged at the 26 yard line.
First year back, Bob Gators of New Mexico State, one of a host of first year players who have made good in the National Football League.
Bob Gators, 5'11", 215, played in New Mexico State.
The Giants will go with Y.A. Tittle at quarterback, from their own 26 yard line, inbounds marker, far side of the field.
Y.A. Tittle has Webster back in the backfield now.
First we've seen him in a long while.
Humble, ball is picked up and followed on by a giant at the 22 yard line, Bob Gators.
A humble on the snapback, loss on the play to the 22 as Bob Gators alertly fell on the loose football.
Loss of four, second down, 14.
And in from the giant bench across the way comes Bill King.
Joe Schockner is the left end.
Joe Walton, the tight right end.
King is going to replace Webster.
Bill King from Vanderbilt, 6'4", 225.
To the left, Schockner.
To the right, Rhodes, second and 14, Giants, number 22.
Tittle fades to pass, gives ground, throws over the middle.
It is complete to Schockner, tackled immediately by Jess Whittenton at the giant 36 yard line.
First down, very close to a first down.
Yes, now signaled first down at the giant 36.
The clock is running with about seven minutes left in the game.
The Packers lead by 37 to nothing.
In what has so far been truly a team effort, perhaps we should say a squad effort, offense as well as defense.
Tittle has the giant set.
Fades to pass.
He's rushed.
He throws out to the right flat.
It is in and out of the hands of Rhodes and incomplete.
And Tittle that time was rushed unmercifully by Bill Quinlan and Ray Nitschke.
Bill into the game goes the veteran, M. Tunnell.
He's going to replace John Simank.
And the hand is for Simank.
Veteran M. Tunnell playing against the team for whom he performed so well for so many years.
It is second and ten.
Tittle fakes the pass.
He's going to hand off on a draw play instead to Bill King.
Loss of two yards.
Bill Quinlan had it spotted and made the tackle.
Loss of two.
It will be third and M-12.
M. Tunnell has played 14 years.
It is his 14th year in the National Football League from the University of Iowa.
And Jim, he is a great one.
He wore the old clothes in the leg.
He and the white.
Tittle is in his 14th season too.
It is third and 12.
It's a spread to the right.
Tittle fading to pass.
It's a pass to the right intended for Rode.
Intercepted by Grevenpierre and he drops the ball.
He had it for an instant.
And I do believe, Jim, that Kyle Rode looked directly into the sun's rays and never saw that football.
The ball is not only in the sun at that time, but the ball is very, very hard to hold on to out there today.
And the Giants, of course, have had more difficulty holding on to it than have the Green Bay Packers here today.
Some of the players, I noticed the line, the interior linemen all wearing gloves.
And on the defensive unit, quite a number of them are.
It is fourth and 12 and Chandler is in the punt.
Takes the pass from center.
His punt is away.
It is going to land at the packer 37 and will be allowed to roll three by Luke Carpenter and Willie Wood.
And it will be blown dead at the packer 25 yard line where Green Bay will take over the ball.
They first down at their own 25 yard line.
And you know, one of the, Jim, one of the former Packer greats who wanted so very much to be here today,
who has stayed on in Green Bay since his playing days, I'm talking about Ted Fritch,
who coaches in Green Bay's Premontree High School, they tell me he had to be restrained by the doctor.
He was seriously ill, but the doctor had to actually force him to stay home.
And I know how much he wanted to be here today.
First time Green Bay star pitches to Tom Moore, comes to the outside to the right,
cuts behind a good block and is nailed at the 31 yard line.
Quick pitch to Tom Moore behind a block by Ken Iman, who is in the game in the offensive line for Green Bay,
tackled by Barnes.
Ron Kramer is being replaced.
Paul Horning comes out.
Listen to the ovation for Horning.
Truly thousands of people here got on their feet to give an ovation to Paul Horning
as it's Green Bay's second and four from their 31,
leading 37 to nothing over the Giants late in the ballgame.
Elijah Pitts is in the backfield and it's Tom Moore straight ahead to the 35,
spins to the 40 to the 42 yard line.
First down Green Bay as Tom Moore finding daylight,
actually twists it away from one tackler to give him an additional five yards.
Out of the game comes Max McGee.
With about four minutes left in the contest,
Ron Kramer, Max McGee, Paul Horning have all departed to tremendous ovations
of this obviously partisan crowd in Green Bay.
First down of a tackler, 42, moving left to right late in the ballgame.
Lou Carpenter is in. Elijah Pitts off the left side,
will sprint to about the 44 and that's all.
And evidently Ray, Coach Vince Lombardi in the closing minute here is trying to get as many into the game as he can
and of course get the ovation for the great stars of the Packers this season.
Boyd Dowler has just left to a great ovation and has been replaced by Lee Fulkens,
a first year player from the University of Washington.
Game of the play of the yard, second down, nine.
Getting ready to go into the game at quarterback is Johnny Roach,
former SMU star, second and nine Green Bay from their own 43.
Long count by star, fades as if to pass, hands off the pitch, off the left side he fights to the 46.
It'll bring up and into the game goes Roach.
Out of the game, Bart Skars.
Right on the field with a score of the
37, the giant nothing.
Close the door of the new Fairlane 500 and listen.
It's the new sound of quality.
Quality that's part of the totally new Fairlane 500 by Ford.
Right, the Fairlane 500, right side, right side,
right between the Galacty and Falcon.
The Fairlane 2, the 62, the car that's just right for just about everybody.
Just about everybody.
Right, the new Ford Fairlane 500, right between Galacty and Falcon.
Right size, I'll put shorter on the outside, good car room on the inside.
Right price, price below many compacts, the car that's just right for just about everybody.
Test the quality yourself.
Close the door of the new Fairlane 500.
That's your Ford viewers now.
Elijah Fitz just swung out to the right and lost a couple of yards for Green Bay.
And on fourth down coming up, Boyd Dowler is in the pot.
The Giants are going to drop back Joel Wells and Joe Morrison in trend safety.
And I see right now Ray, both the benches are being given the two-minute warning.
And in order to be able to pick out the outstanding player,
as far as the Packers were concerned today, would be a most difficult job.
The Heart Star was just tremendous in every phase of quarterbacking this fine team.
Of course, Paul Horning with the 19 points that he scored here today,
have to make him one of the big ones too.
But never forget those fellows up on the line who did such a marvelous job all afternoon,
defensively, offensively, defensive backfield.
I guess, as you said a short time ago, this would have to be a squat applause.
I'm guessing right now.
You're so right, Jim.
And a tremendous tribute not only to the Packer coaching staff,
but to the Packers fans who have supported this game so very well.
Boyd Dowler is in the punt.
Wells and Morrison back to receive.
The punt's away.
A tremendous boot is going to land in the giant five,
rolled in at around the nine-yard line where it will be grabbed by Herb Adderley.
Another tremendous punt by Boyd Dowler is down by first-year back Herb Adderley.
There's time out on the field with a score.
The Packers 37, the Giants nothing.
Now here's the commercial with the twitch, the thousand twitch.
You're going to get a new Falcon.
A 62 Falcon.
Everybody loves Falcons.
So listen, Falcons.
Stick me up on your Falcon.
I'll be ready at eight.
I'll be there with my Falcon.
He'll have a wonderful ride.
And I'll be right at your side.
Economical Falcon.
Costs no little to run.
With the money we save with a Falcon.
We can sure have a barrel of Fog.
Everybody loves Falcons.
Lots of reason to boast.
Doesn't get more, more, more from a Falcon.
The Colomerical loves them all.
It's a man, it's a chamber, it's so economical.
No price on that clock.
Oh, Malcolm.
Go to your foredealer.
You will be welcome, Malcolm.
The Giants are coming up now to about a third and about nine situation as why
Fiddlejust misses on a pass out on the left flat on a down and out pattern to
left end Bill Schopner, who had such a great season with the Giants.
And you know, so many times, Jim, it seems to me with only seconds remaining here
in this championship game that when a game does end as it seems to about to end
with the Packers leading by a rather decisive score, we're inclined to forget
the great job done by the Vapwish team during the regular season.
And there's no doubt about it as the Giants now go into their version of the shotgun.
Fiddle is back in a short punt formation.
He's going to pass him near the goal line to the right flat.
It is intercepted by Herb Adderley at the 30. He goes to the Giants 25,
swings to the 20. He's going to try and turn the corner.
He does. He goes to the 15-yard line.
Herb Adderley comes up with the Packers' fourth pass interception of the game.
Why is Fiddle passing out of Jim what I would call the Giants version of the
highly publicized San Francisco 49er shotgun offense, finds Herb Adderley,
the rookie from Michigan State, intercepting?
And my goodness, what a jaw-hacking job this Packer defense has done today.
They certainly have. As a matter of fact, on that play, one more block
and Herb Adderley might have been going all the way.
First down, Johnny Roach at quarterback. Tom Moore at left half.
Roach trying to sneak straight ahead.
Luke Carpenter is in the backfield. Time just rang out.
Packers content to hold on to the ball.
The crowd. Time counts off to seconds.
New Year's Eve in Green Bay, Wisconsin is going to be something.
No more time remains.
There's the gun. That's the hint of the game.
With the final score, the Green Bay Packers 47, the New York Giants nothing.
We'll be back in a moment with the final wrap-up of today's game.
Fans, how long has it been since you've driven a Ford?
Today there are four classes of cars and only Ford has all four.
First, there's the compact Falcon, America's lowest priced six passenger car.
Over one million proud owners prove it's still America's most popular compact car.
Next, the Ford Fairlane, available with Ford's famous VA car.
It's in a class by itself, right between the compacts and the big cars,
with the best features of both, big car room, ride, and performance.
It's got savings and maneuverability and the price tag below many compacts.
The third, or full-size class, is the elegant Galaxy with its optional
super high performance Thunderbird engine.
Galaxy will outperform America's most expensive cars,
yet requires servicing only twice a year or every 6,000 miles.
So, for the people who want the very finest, the Thunderbird.
It's been four outstanding models.
How long has it been since you've driven a Ford?
Whatever you're looking for in a car, look to the long Ford line at your Ford dealer.
Right, Jim Leaming, realizing that many of you did not have a chance to follow this game
from its inception, we'll do our very best to pick out very quickly the highlights of this game.
But let me tell you first, this is the fifth shutout ever recorded in a championship game.
The last time it was turned in, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Chicago Cardinals
in 1948 by 7-0, and the following year shut out the Los Angeles Rams 14-0,
and until today, that's the last time it was performed in championship play.
It turns out, and I guess perhaps, Jim, it might be justice of some sort,
it is turned in, the shutout by...
...the second quarter, climaxed an 80-yard drive, went in from 6.5 yards out,
converted it to 7-0.
A pass interception in the second quarter by Ray Nitschke at the jar at 34,
found Bart Starr several plays later, hitting Boyd Dowler with a 13-yard scoring pass,
Horning's extra point made it 14-0.
Hank Dreminger came up with a pass interception at the jar at 36 in the second quarter.
From 14 yards out, Bart Starr a few plays later hit Ron Kramer,
who was certainly most impressive today.
He hit him with a touchdown pass, Horning's extra point made it 21-0,
and then Horning added a field goal on the final play of the first half
to make it 24-0 as the only giant threat found a giant pass falling incomplete
on fourth down from the Green Bay six-yard line.
As it turned out, that was to be as close as the giants were to get today.
In the third period, with five minutes and five seconds left,
Forrest Greg, after recovering a fumble by the Giants,
and with about five minutes left, Paul Horning added another field goal,
this from 22 yards, it was 27-0.
Bart Starr found Ron Kramer with another scoring pass,
this one a 14-yard, with a couple of minutes left in the third period,
that made it 33-0, and Horning's extra point made it 34-0.
The only scoring in the fourth quarter, Paul Horning's 19-yard field goal
to finish the scoring by a score of 37-0.
Jim, that's about the way I would wrap up things this afternoon.
There is one thing that I would like to say though,
I touched on it briefly a moment ago, and I mean this
as we pay tribute to Ali Sherman of the New York Giants.
So many times the last sight of a particular athletic team is the one that you remember,
and it's so easily to forget that the Giants had a truly great season
with a team that was not rated of champion September
to come on and win the Tough Eastern Division,
and although the Packers won today by the short-out margin of 37-0,
we would be remiss if we didn't pass along credit for their tremendous regular season
to Ali Sherman and his New York Giants.
We wish to thank our spotters today, Bill Kelly, who spotted the New York Giants,
Bob Huell, who spotted the Green Bay Packers.
Our engineer today was Dan Mosak.
Our producer was Johnny Earp.
And we're speaking for both Jim Leaning and yours truly, Ray Scott.
