00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:18,000
On Saturday, December 21, 1974, the St. Louis Cardinals faced the Minnesota Vikings at Metropolitan Stadium for the first round of the 1974 NFL Playoffs.

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
The Cardinals had a strong team for the first time in decades, going back all the way to the late 1940s when they were still in Chicago.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:39,000
This was due thanks to second-year coach and offensive innovator Don Coriel. Leveraging the talent of Terry Metcalf and Mel Gray, who totaled more than 1,800 yards from scrimmage in 1974, Coriel was later named Associated Press Coach of the Year.

5
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:48,000
The Minnesota Vikings were coached by Bud Grant and were trying to make it back to the championship after losing Super Bowl VIII to Don Chulo's Dolphins in 1973.

6
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
This audio recording is from the radio broadcast featuring announcers Joe McConnell and Paul Horning.

7
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Of course, the Vikings have lost three games here this year, but that is very unusual. They enjoy playing. Of course, if they win today, they'll play the NFC Championship game here.

8
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Here's Joe Albert, who is strictly a kickoff man to the Cardinals, second booted away. McClanahan and McCollum are deep for the Vikings. Moving forward and down the stairs, the kick. Fine rider, deep coming over to the near side, McCollum at the 7th, to the 10th, to the 15th, to the 20th, 25th, dancing away at the 30th, slips and goes down right there on the near sideline.

9
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Trying to turn away, Jerry Hammond was down to make the stop for the Big Red at St. Louis. The referee today is Chuck Heberling. The umpire is Lou Palazzi. Head lineman, Burl Tolar. The line judge, Red Cashion. The back judge, Don Wedge. The field judge is Tony Stover.

10
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And the all-Nether Bob Rice. A 23-yard kickoff return by Sudden Sam McCollum, who had a brilliant game last week at Kansas City. Both ball clubs, 10 and 4. The Vikings won a mid-season Monday night game at St. Louis, 28-24. They also defeated the Cardinals 14-10 in a preseason game.

11
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Wide to the left is Gilliam. Wide to the near side is Lye. Ozzie informing the running backs behind Fran Takenen. Takenen, the first play, hands off the foreman, breaks one tackle, cuts back in, but Stallings nails him at the 29-1. Let's linebacker Larry Stallings. 6'1, 230 pounds in his fourth year from Georgia Tech. It's no game. It's second down and a long 10.

12
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:33,000
You're going to see a lot of slips today looking at the field, the way they're running. The kind of balance will mean a great deal today, Joe, because the field is not 100%. Of course, it's probably frozen and not all the way frozen. You can cut on that. I'm sure they're using cleats right now, but you're going to see a lot of slips today.

13
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Gilliam wide to the near side, Lye splits wide to the far side left. Duke backfield behind Fran, second and 10. The Bikes just got their own 30-yard line. Fran gives to Ozzie, slides to the left side, battles across the 35, off to the 37-yard line goes 10-year veteran Dave Osborne.

14
00:02:48,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Typical Ozzie run off the left side behind Goodblocking. Chuck Goodrum and Demar on the left side, just zone blocking, and they really pushed that defensive right side of St. Louis back. It's going to bring up about third and three.

15
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Right line backer Pete Barnes made the contact for St. Louis, a game of six, it's third and four. The Bikes at their own 36-yard line. Ozzie picked up 514 yards, an average of four a pop during the regular season.

16
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Foreman who set out the final game of Kansas City in three periods of the 13th game against Atlanta, game 777. Lye wide to the near side right, Gilliam split wide left. Third down four, the Bikes in their first position to give to Foreman, looking for room, looking for a block, ties the cut back. Stalling is going to nail him for a one-yard gain at the 37. It will be fourth down and three.

17
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Foreman on his first two carries of the game picks up a net of one yard. Stalling's defeated Dave Osborne on the block. Defensive left linebacker just off tackle, full back off tackle, and they put Foreman at the full back spot and handed off over the right side.

18
00:03:48,000 --> 00:04:04,000
And that's all, he's played off the block of Dave Osborne well and the pursuit got Foreman for about 12, cut back the line of experience, maybe picked up a yard. Well, Fran who completed 199 and 351 for just under 2,600 yards did not put the ball in the air the first time.

19
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:23,000
And he's tied into front, the poorest in the NFC with an average of 36.1 on 82 kicks. There's a snap, it's a good one, he's got time, he gets the kick away. It's a rather low kick, a spiraling kick, and Metcalfe feels it at the 28 to the 30, heading to the far sideline, cuts back, gets by Foreman at the 40, he's at the 45, and he's finally hauled in at the 47 yard line.

20
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:41,000
And Mike Eishide, the man who caught the ball, made the tackle. He is dangerous Joe, he caught that football on a dead run. Eishide, or rather Metcalfe, led the lead in kickoff returns and was fourth in putt returns. He's an all purpose back, 5'10", 185 in his second year from Long Beach.

21
00:04:41,000 --> 00:05:08,000
A 35 yard punt, a 13 yard return, and the Cardinals own the ball, an excellent field position at the 46. They've got Earl Thomas and Mel Gray at the wide receivers. Jackie Smith, a tight end. Jimmy Hart, the fifth Viking quarterback behind Fran Parkinson in there. Metcalfe moves into a double wing slot right. Here's the call now, Jimmy Otis, the other running back. And the handoff goes to Otis, flying into the right side, trying to turn the corner, gets by Marshall, bows across the 50, and gets into Viking territory to about the 48, maybe as deep as the 47 yard line.

22
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Almost a pick up of eight yards, Jimmy Otis, and both teams it seems going with that full back off the right side.

23
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Jeff Wright made the tackle. Now, on the interior line, we have Roger Finney at left tackle, Bob Young at left guard, Tom Brughaney is the starting center for St. Louis, Conrad Dobler is the right guard, Dan Girdolf the right tackle, and Jackie Smith the tight end.

24
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:39,000
We've got Marshall, Page, Sutherland and Miller across the front four. Winston at left linebacker, Steven in the middle, Hildenberg on the right side. Cornerbacks are Jackie Wallace and Nate Wright. The safeties are Jeff Wright and Paul Krauss.

25
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Second down, about three yards to go for the Cardinals, in motion goes Mel Gray to the right side. Handoff goes to Metcalfe, and he blasts in across the 45, about the 44 before he's hit and shoved back, but it is very close to a first down. Hildenberg, the right side linebacker, making the play.

26
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Depending on where they place it. It looked like his forward progress did get the first down. We're going to call it a first down here.

27
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Well, they're going to stop the clock to measure here. Hart completed an even 200 passes out of 388 attempts. That's 51.5% completion. He passed for 2,411 yards, 20 touchdowns, which led the NFC.

28
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:31,000
And Mel Gray, the wide receiver, a burner on the right side, caught six touchdown passes and 39 grabs. It's a first down for the Big Red on the Viking 44 yard line. The first first down of the afternoon on St. Louis's first possession.

29
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:46,000
The official Chuck Eberling says, let's get it going. 1125 up to go so far, very early in the first period, scoreless tie here at the Met. Later on today, the first AFC playoff game of the defending Super Bowl champion Miami Dolphins at Oakland.

30
00:06:46,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Now they shift Smith wide to the right in a slot almost. Double wing, one single running back, quick pitch goes to Metcalf, breaks off left tackle and gets to the 40 yard line. A pick up of the Bot 4 and a quick pitch and Alan Page made the tackle on the play.

31
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Page is one of seven Vikings named to the NFC's All-Pro team, which will play in the Pro Bowl in the week following the Super Bowl down in New Orleans. What a year he had Joe. Again, Alan Page I think has played as well this year as he has in the past, even as one great year when he was MVP.

32
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:34,000
All professional football this year and just the next one here. J.B. Kane, a big rookie from Colorado, wide to the right. Mel Gray, wide to the near side, second down and six for the big red on the Viking 40. In motion goes Gray to the far side.

33
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:52,000
This backfield behind Jimmy Hart, quick pitch down to Metcalf, flying to the right side, hit by Eller, hit, knocked away and surges across the 35 and out of bounds in front of the Cardinal bench at the Viking 34 yard line. We'll see where they mark it. And it's going to be very close to a first down. Jeff Wright finally hit him hard enough to push him out of bounds.

34
00:07:52,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Both teams keeping the football right on the ground Joe and I think St. Louis, if we're going to have this much success against the Vikings running the football, you're not going to see too many chances in a game like this because they're playing a game of mistakes now. One mistake, well that can mean the end of a season.

35
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Gray is out, Jim McFarlane, the second string tight in his end. They mark the ball at the 36, it's third down and a long run. Big play Viking defense.

36
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:34,000
All right, triple stack backfield behind Jimmy Hart. Both ends bunched in tight. Now they shift into the power eyes. And the give is to the third man Otis. And he is close to the first down, he's pushed back and coming out of a pile with a ball of Wally Hilgenberg but they've called the play dead as Hilgenberg stole it all from Jim Otis.

37
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Now it's his deepest penetration and it looks like he may be a little bit shy Paul. It's going to be very close. 34 and I think he got to about the 34 and a half. I think it was Metcalf in the power eye wasn't it Joe? I think he lost control of the football.

38
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Otis, it looked of course a power eye situation there. Otis was the lead blocker and a quick whistle there. The Vikings would have come up with the football and maybe six points. Big play coming up, fourth down, a yard to go.

39
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Otis is the middle man.

40
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,000
All right, power eye again. Now they shift in.

41
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Again this time. And again Metcalf. It was the Ken Willard. And Willard has stopped at the 35 yard line and the Viking defense has had.

42
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:42,000
The third running back in there was caught short of the line. Don't you think this should, this really should pick up that offense Joe? The Cardinals on third and one didn't make it. They came back, went for it on fourth down. They're going to come up short. They did not gain it in.

43
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Sutherland and Winston made the tackle. Time out with 9.44 left to go in his smallest first period. More from the Met in a minute.

44
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:59,000
One of the really good inflation fighters is a savings account. The more you save the less you spend. That's good for fighting inflation and it's good for you.

45
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:07,000
And when you save at a savings and loan association your money is used primarily to help people build and buy homes. That's where money is really needed today.

46
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:15,000
And that's where money really works hard to build a solid economy. So don't give up on inflation. Fight back. Save a little more than you think you can.

47
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,000
That money will grow. It's guaranteed to grow. And that helps you stay ahead of inflation.

48
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:28,000
But most important, you are putting that money safely to work where it is needed the most in our country. Helping people to build and buy homes.

49
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:42,000
So fight back at inflation. Save money. The money you save at a savings and loan association works hard for you and your country too. This message was presented in the interest of the savings and loan industry by Twin City Federal in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

50
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:59,000
John McConnell and Paul Horning back at the Met with a score tied. Nothing, nothing. The Vikings will take it over for the second time. Just tied their own 35-yard line.

51
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:12,000
A big, big fourth down play made by left-side linebacker Roy Winston, a 13-year veteran from LSU and Doug Sutherland who displaced Gary Larson in that front floor for the Vikings about a third of the way into the season.

52
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Now the Vikes break the huddle. Jim Rice who caught 32 passes for 631 yards wide to the left. Gilliam wide to the near side. Double wing. Slot left foreman in the slot. Parking it all to the right.

53
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Looking down field. What's back in the middle? Floor to foreman. Right floor. 47-yard line incomplete. He couldn't hang on. He was hit immediately by Pete Barnes. But it's incomplete. That's the first pass attempt of the ball game. It's second and 10 for the Vikes.

54
00:11:36,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Roll out right and they got Chuck Foreman, a receiver. They covered that flood pass well. The defensive left side of the Cardinals. A roll out right. Fran actually has got his split end to hit. He's got his tight end to hit. He's got his running back out in the flat. Foreman was coming from the weak side on the left. Ball was perfectly thrown. Fran picked his secondary receiver. Of course Chuck leads his team. Passes sections. He already caught 53 on the year.

55
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:27,000
The 6 touchdowns and 586 yards. Double wing. Slot left. Foreman now wide to the near side. This is the foreman we saw against the Rams. Tucked and rolled to the right. Now looks, looks, looks. He spins away. Touched back. He's running inside the 30. Moving to the far sideline. Falls on the right end template and attempting to hit Jim Rice. He was chased by Council Rudolph. But Tucked and finally threw it away. It'll be third down and 10.

56
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:42,000
He was forced. He rolled to the near side right. Was bottled up. Couldn't find anybody open. Had to run laterally all the way back across the far side of the field and it was a foot race between Council Rudolph and Tucked into the far sidelines and Fran finally just dumped it harmlessly out of bounds.

57
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Fran had to run this football field. It's 53 yards wide. The ball was on the left hash mark. You know he ran at least 30 yards to the right and about 45 going back to the left.

58
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:05,000
All for no gain. It's third and 10. Again, wide to the left and this time Gilliam will line up in the slot to the left. The backfield of Deuce. Ozzie on the left. Foreman on the right.

59
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:14,000
The Vikings have been characteristically a slow starting team in the last few ballgames. Target back to pass. Rings went out. Tucked and out of bounds at the 45 yard line.

60
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:24,000
And I believe it was Dave Osborne. Ozzie who caught 29 during the regular season knocked out of bounds at the 45 and it's going to be very very close to the first down.

61
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:40,000
I think the ball does not have to be to the 45 yard line. This is going to be from the far side away from our vantage point here and I think it's going to be a first down maybe by Air Joe or if they do miss it it's going to be two inches.

62
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Well the chains had to be moved all the way over to the far side and I think he made it. They're going to maze you right now and it is close.

63
00:13:48,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Usually when they look right now it's going to be sharp. Now will the Vikings go on fourth down an inch. I think they are. No move from the sidelines. They're going to go far.

64
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Alleman comes in. Alleman and King's Ryder come in. Alleman of course the last of the original Vikings. A 15 year veteran the offensive captain at left tackle. Lash and Gilliam the wide receivers go out. King's Ryder a second year tight end for Minnesota into the game to block.

65
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:33,000
If they make it they don't and this happens to be one of the big plays which it inevitably will be. There will be some question about this. Well it's fourth down and less than a yard. The Vikings gambling here on their second possession inside their own 45.

66
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Everyone lets inside in the goal line defense. Ozzie and Farman are running backs. King's Ryder is the wing on the left side. Here's the call by Tuckington. And he goes. The Foreman has got the first down of the 46 yard line on a joke right up the middle. And Ozzie and Norm Tonson have a little exchange after the play. Ozzie was the man who carried the ball.

67
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:13,000
And the hotel fans sure are on their feet. They love it. You really don't know why. If you really think about it a little bit. Fans love to see teams go on fourth down. And if a coach does it I would say 10 times out of the year he's probably going to be wrong seven times.

68
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:24,000
First down for the Vikings on their own 46 yard line. Slot left Gilliam lining up inside Jim Lance and the snow continues to fall here to med. A little heavier now. It started about 20 minutes before kickoff.

69
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:37,000
And here's the Foreman sliding off right tackle and he battles his way to about the 48 yard line. A game of two plus. It'll be second down and a long seven. Bob Rowe the big defensive tackle an eight year veteran from Western Michigan made to stop for the big red.

70
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:52,000
One play John. Sure we're going to see and we're seeing a little bit different. Of course Foreman is a running back. You have to call him a running back. Not a halfback or a fullback because of the fact that even look at today he's been in the fullback position when a fullback plays a called off tackle.

71
00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:02,000
They just switch it around Ozzie goes to the right halfback and blocks the former. Second down eight Minnesota. The Vikings on their own 48. Slot left.

72
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:08,000
A and B circle. This backfield Ozzie on the left. Foreman on the right behind.

73
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000
13 year veteran from the back to the center. Snaps it off. Back to pass.

74
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Now looking out on the right side. Foreman having it for 42 to 40. He enters and gets out of bounds. The big red 37 and first down. A and B circle John. He beat Larry Stallings on a good move and actually a linebacker is really at the mercy of a running back.

75
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:36,000
This Foreman is going to beat Larry Stallings who is a 12 year veteran out of charge attack. You just especially on a kind of field because he has the option of cutting in or out.

76
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Now what he does he was lined up on the weak side. The tight end was lined up on the left. Foreman was in the right halfback position and you have to cue your middle linebacker.

77
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:51,000
If the middle linebacker comes your way you break outside. If he goes to the tight end side you're going to break inside.

78
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:58,000
14 yard pick up first down. Bikes on the big red 38. Slot left again. Gillian inside. Jim Lags.

79
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Toggington inside hand off to Foreman who bucks his way across the 35 to the 34 yard line. A pick up of about four as they're beginning to soften up that front four of St. Louis just a little bit.

80
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Middle linebacker Mark Arneson in on the stop along with Bob Rowe. It's second down six and that's the best game on the ground by Chuck Foreman today.

81
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:28,000
I tell you they're big inside and maybe it's good. Rowe and Brooks both. Rowe six four. Brooks six six. They both go about 270 pounds and right behind in the middle linebacker is not too big.

82
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:38,000
They got him with the 223 pounds. Second down six. The ball on the cardinal 34. Double wing. Slot left. Foreman in the slot to the left and off goes to Ozzie.

83
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:48,000
He's tripped up and falls forward right straight up the middle about the 32 yard line and Council Rudolph and Leo Brooks got an arm on him and helped trip him up but Ozzie fell forward for a gain of about two.

84
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:59,000
It'll be third down coming up now. The Vikings are their first possession in big red territory. They marketed to St. Louis 31 so it picked up three and it's third and three. Big play.

85
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:09,000
But Grant in his tenure with the Vikings has won four and lost four in the second season which is known as the playoff season. They might throw it here in this circumstance Joe.

86
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:16,000
All right. Gilly and why did the lefts. See if they go right back to A&B circle. They got them split. Last wide to the left. Gilly and wide to the near side.

87
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Third down three from the St. Louis 31. The Vikings in their second possession and deep in penetration. Tuckman back to pass.

88
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,560
The

89
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:37,000
both backs way out of that field this time Foreman hooked up in front of linebacker. He's on the left side and Clarence Duran the free safety.

90
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Duran made the tackle on the play a seven yard pass completion department. It's a first down for the Vikings on the St. Louis 24.

91
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:52,000
I had a blitz on the play Joe. Six twenty to go in the first period no score in the ballgame here at Snowy Metropolitan Stadium.

92
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Jim Lites comes wide to the near side and I'd eat Lites even though he had a great season has played two years in the NFL without a touchdown.

93
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
You live in the slot to the right.

94
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Rolling to the right immediately.

95
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Right in the numbers. He couldn't have dropped that one. So there's the first turnover in the game with the slant pass Joe is trying to hit his wide receiver Lash or Gilliam on a

96
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:31,000
real quick slant pattern rollout right. You got to hit it in that crease. Good play by the middle linebacker. Time out. No score in the ballgame.

97
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:57,000
That's why for one minute on the Vikings KSTP radio network.

98
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:12,000
One of the best names and watches is Wolfman.

99
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:22,000
And right now Twin City Federal makes it easy for you to own a Walton with a quantifying deposit. You can take your choice at a remarkably low price.

100
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Well the first turnover the football game kills the Vikings first real threat and gives the Cardinals a ball back on their own 22 yard line.

101
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Left field has been in interception only twelve times all year passing to seven teams touchdown.

102
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:00,020
Tim Hart had only eight passes intercepted and threw for 20

103
00:21:00,020 --> 00:21:05,020
And now on the ship they bring Earl Thomas, formerly the Chicago Bears, wide to the near

104
00:21:05,020 --> 00:21:06,020
side.

105
00:21:06,020 --> 00:21:08,020
Now Metcalf gets into the slot to the right.

106
00:21:08,020 --> 00:21:09,020
Double wing right.

107
00:21:09,020 --> 00:21:12,020
Hart drops back to pass on first and ten.

108
00:21:12,020 --> 00:21:14,020
Lines up, pops, falls.

109
00:21:14,020 --> 00:21:19,020
Incomplete, overshooting Mel Gray who is covered by three Vikings at about the 35 yard line,

110
00:21:19,020 --> 00:21:20,020
almost a stop and hook pattern.

111
00:21:20,020 --> 00:21:25,020
That was a turn in Joe and it's a good thing I think Hart may have thrown that away on

112
00:21:25,020 --> 00:21:29,020
purpose because if he would have been on target, Nate Wright had an excellent opportunity to

113
00:21:29,020 --> 00:21:30,020
get that.

114
00:21:30,020 --> 00:21:35,020
He was guessing on the turn in, they were in a zone on that side so he could really guess

115
00:21:35,020 --> 00:21:39,020
because he knew he had deep help from Paul Krause and I really had it covered.

116
00:21:39,020 --> 00:21:40,020
He had the turn in covered.

117
00:21:40,020 --> 00:21:42,020
And it would have been thrown close to the receiver.

118
00:21:42,020 --> 00:21:44,020
Nate Wright had a shot at the interception.

119
00:21:44,020 --> 00:21:45,020
J.B.

120
00:21:45,020 --> 00:21:47,020
Kane alternating with Thomas on every other play, wide to the right.

121
00:21:47,020 --> 00:21:49,020
Gray wide to the near side, second down ten.

122
00:21:49,020 --> 00:21:54,020
St. Louis on their own 22 and motion to the far side right goes Mel Gray.

123
00:21:54,020 --> 00:22:00,020
Hart, inside handoff, breaking into the corner, Otis across the 30, up to the 34 before he's

124
00:22:00,020 --> 00:22:02,020
upended in the secondary.

125
00:22:02,020 --> 00:22:05,020
Jim Otis on a quick pop right up the middle on trap blocking, got free.

126
00:22:05,020 --> 00:22:09,020
Roy Winston finally caught him in the Vikings secondary but it's a big 12 yard gate on the

127
00:22:09,020 --> 00:22:11,020
ground, first down St. Louis.

128
00:22:11,020 --> 00:22:15,020
Speaking of the Vikings secondary, I noticed Paul Krause, of course you're familiar with

129
00:22:15,020 --> 00:22:20,020
Minnesota Viking football, you know he is one of the excellent free safeties that ever

130
00:22:20,020 --> 00:22:21,020
played a game.

131
00:22:21,020 --> 00:22:24,020
Today he's playing a little bit deeper.

132
00:22:24,020 --> 00:22:28,020
Now the reason for this, on that last snap, Krause looks like a center fielder.

133
00:22:28,020 --> 00:22:32,020
He's standing about 13 to 15 yards deep from the line of scrimmage.

134
00:22:32,020 --> 00:22:37,020
What happens when he feels like this, he wants that extra yard or two so he can cover the

135
00:22:37,020 --> 00:22:38,020
deep patterns on the outside.

136
00:22:38,020 --> 00:22:42,020
Right back to Krause, swings went out the right flat, caught by Mel Gray who stepped

137
00:22:42,020 --> 00:22:46,020
immediately at the 37 yard line and apparently dropped the ball after contact was made.

138
00:22:46,020 --> 00:22:47,020
Good hit by Jeff Wright.

139
00:22:47,020 --> 00:22:49,020
Jeff Wright jarred it loose.

140
00:22:49,020 --> 00:22:53,020
It would have been only a three yard gain had he held on so it will be second down 10.

141
00:22:53,020 --> 00:22:57,020
The clock is stopped with 5.07 to go here in the scoreless first period.

142
00:22:57,020 --> 00:22:59,020
And this game is now on the ball twice.

143
00:22:59,020 --> 00:23:04,020
And again, Vikings rolled on a zone on Mel Gray's side Joe and I think that's exactly

144
00:23:04,020 --> 00:23:08,020
the way the Vikings defense is going to play against.

145
00:23:08,020 --> 00:23:13,020
They're going to give Earl Thomas all the outs he wants but they're going to try to roll

146
00:23:13,020 --> 00:23:18,020
a zone on most occasions against Mel Gray because he is their big play receiver.

147
00:23:18,020 --> 00:23:19,020
That was a penalty.

148
00:23:19,020 --> 00:23:21,020
There was a penalty flag thrown in that play.

149
00:23:21,020 --> 00:23:24,020
Offside against the Cardinals declined.

150
00:23:24,020 --> 00:23:27,020
So it's second and 10 St. Louis on their own 34.

151
00:23:27,020 --> 00:23:31,020
Otis who picked up 12 yards a moment ago was the ninth leading rusher in the NSC with

152
00:23:31,020 --> 00:23:34,020
664 yards and an average of 4.2.

153
00:23:34,020 --> 00:23:35,020
He's had a fine year.

154
00:23:35,020 --> 00:23:36,020
He started with Kansas City.

155
00:23:36,020 --> 00:23:37,020
High formation.

156
00:23:37,020 --> 00:23:41,020
Now they shift into a double wing right.

157
00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:43,020
Looks almost like a triple wing, Paul.

158
00:23:43,020 --> 00:23:44,020
One running back.

159
00:23:44,020 --> 00:23:48,020
All right, back to pass, brings it out in the right block, caught by Gray.

160
00:23:48,020 --> 00:23:49,020
Drops again at the 40 yard line.

161
00:23:49,020 --> 00:23:50,020
It's squirreled right over his left shoulder.

162
00:23:50,020 --> 00:23:52,020
It's a little cold out there.

163
00:23:52,020 --> 00:23:54,020
Get those hands loose.

164
00:23:54,020 --> 00:23:56,020
And Joe, it is very difficult.

165
00:23:56,020 --> 00:24:00,020
Now this is not a real cold day as we mentioned here in Minnesota.

166
00:24:00,020 --> 00:24:02,020
But it's something about catching at football.

167
00:24:02,020 --> 00:24:06,020
If you start thinking about your hands being cold on a day like this, invariably you're

168
00:24:06,020 --> 00:24:08,020
going to drop a few of them.

169
00:24:08,020 --> 00:24:10,020
All right, it's third down and 10.

170
00:24:10,020 --> 00:24:12,020
St. Louis on their own 34 yard line.

171
00:24:12,020 --> 00:24:19,020
There have been several dropped passes on both sides of the line here in the first period.

172
00:24:19,020 --> 00:24:24,020
Jim Hart led the best percentage as far as touchdown passes thrown as opposed to interceptions

173
00:24:24,020 --> 00:24:25,020
in Pearl's football this year.

174
00:24:25,020 --> 00:24:28,020
Brings them up.

175
00:24:28,020 --> 00:24:29,020
Thomas Wye to the right.

176
00:24:29,020 --> 00:24:31,020
Now Metcalf gets into the slot to the right.

177
00:24:31,020 --> 00:24:33,020
Double wing right.

178
00:24:33,020 --> 00:24:35,020
Here's the call now by Hart on third and 10.

179
00:24:35,020 --> 00:24:37,020
Dropping back to pass.

180
00:24:37,020 --> 00:24:38,020
That's up deep.

181
00:24:38,020 --> 00:24:42,020
Now going down the right sidelines instead of a Metcalf who makes the circus grab at

182
00:24:42,020 --> 00:24:44,020
the Vikings' 38 yard line.

183
00:24:44,020 --> 00:24:46,020
Right over Paul Krause's shoulder.

184
00:24:46,020 --> 00:24:48,020
Oh, what a catch by Metcalf.

185
00:24:48,020 --> 00:24:54,020
Metcalf made a streak right down the right hash mark, cut to the corner patterns, what

186
00:24:54,020 --> 00:24:55,020
it's called, Joe.

187
00:24:55,020 --> 00:24:57,020
And he made a great catch.

188
00:24:57,020 --> 00:24:58,020
Hart was right on target.

189
00:24:58,020 --> 00:24:59,020
Beautiful pass, too.

190
00:24:59,020 --> 00:25:03,020
First down, St. Louis on their Viking 37.

191
00:25:03,020 --> 00:25:04,020
That was a big gainer.

192
00:25:04,020 --> 00:25:06,020
27 yard pick up.

193
00:25:06,020 --> 00:25:10,020
Metcalf caught 50 passes, just three less than our own Chuck Foreman during the year.

194
00:25:10,020 --> 00:25:14,020
He did not catch him for much distance, 377 yards.

195
00:25:14,020 --> 00:25:16,020
But that one was a big 27 yarder.

196
00:25:16,020 --> 00:25:18,020
Mel Gray wide to the near side.

197
00:25:18,020 --> 00:25:20,020
J.B. Kane wide to the right.

198
00:25:20,020 --> 00:25:21,020
First down, St. Louis.

199
00:25:21,020 --> 00:25:22,020
Their second possession in Viking territory.

200
00:25:22,020 --> 00:25:24,020
Hart dropped back to pass.

201
00:25:24,020 --> 00:25:25,020
Looks long.

202
00:25:25,020 --> 00:25:27,020
Throws a long bomb down the middle.

203
00:25:27,020 --> 00:25:29,020
And it is incomplete.

204
00:25:29,020 --> 00:25:33,020
And for Mel Gray and both Jackie Wallace and Jeff Wright were back there.

205
00:25:33,020 --> 00:25:35,020
And I thought for a moment one of the Vikes would come up with the interception.

206
00:25:35,020 --> 00:25:37,020
Well, Gray had a step on both of them.

207
00:25:37,020 --> 00:25:42,020
But the free safety, in this occasion, they had a double coverage.

208
00:25:42,020 --> 00:25:46,020
Wallace and Jeff Wright both had a chance at the interception.

209
00:25:46,020 --> 00:25:48,020
Hart hung it up just a little bit.

210
00:25:48,020 --> 00:25:55,020
It'll be second down 10 from the Viking 37 yard line as they sent Gray on a post pattern deep in the end zone.

211
00:25:55,020 --> 00:25:56,020
Well, he's not worried about it.

212
00:25:56,020 --> 00:25:59,020
He's just come out throwing here after that first series of plays.

213
00:25:59,020 --> 00:26:05,020
It's only a pick up of about 10 yards by Jim Otis got the first down.

214
00:26:05,020 --> 00:26:08,020
Outside of that, he's one out of five for 28 yards.

215
00:26:08,020 --> 00:26:12,020
That was a big one that got the Cardinals to the Viking 37 to Metcalf.

216
00:26:12,020 --> 00:26:14,020
Now Gray comes in motion to the near side left.

217
00:26:14,020 --> 00:26:16,020
Here's the call on second and 10.

218
00:26:16,020 --> 00:26:18,020
Quick pitch, not a Metcalf.

219
00:26:18,020 --> 00:26:19,020
Right to sweep on the left side.

220
00:26:19,020 --> 00:26:21,020
Cuts back in. Gets to the 35 to the 34.

221
00:26:21,020 --> 00:26:23,020
Triple team stacked up and thrown back.

222
00:26:23,020 --> 00:26:25,020
Jimmy Marshall was around his ankles.

223
00:26:25,020 --> 00:26:28,020
Wally Hilgenberg hit him high along with Jeff Wright and first and back.

224
00:26:28,020 --> 00:26:30,020
Marshall made a real fine play there.

225
00:26:30,020 --> 00:26:32,020
Defensive right in.

226
00:26:32,020 --> 00:26:34,020
He was actually, they tried to cut him down.

227
00:26:34,020 --> 00:26:36,020
Tight in.

228
00:26:36,020 --> 00:26:38,020
Marshall got away from it.

229
00:26:38,020 --> 00:26:39,020
Thomas out.

230
00:26:39,020 --> 00:26:40,020
J.B. Kane is in.

231
00:26:40,020 --> 00:26:44,020
Kane's on a 40 yard touchdown pass against the Vikings earlier in the season.

232
00:26:44,020 --> 00:26:47,020
Now here comes Terry Brown, Bob Lurchner.

233
00:26:47,020 --> 00:26:49,020
Here goes the Bob Lurchner.

234
00:26:49,020 --> 00:26:55,020
The Vikes will go with a five man front and six defensive backs.

235
00:26:55,020 --> 00:26:57,020
This has been very successful.

236
00:26:57,020 --> 00:26:59,020
Third down, seven.

237
00:26:59,020 --> 00:27:01,020
The ball of the Vikings, 34 yard line.

238
00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:03,020
Gray wide to the right.

239
00:27:03,020 --> 00:27:05,020
Kane wide to the near side left.

240
00:27:05,020 --> 00:27:07,020
Back to pass. That's a quick lift.

241
00:27:07,020 --> 00:27:11,020
He goes on as Bob Lurchner landed on his back at the 40 yard line.

242
00:27:11,020 --> 00:27:13,020
Lurchner right over the top.

243
00:27:13,020 --> 00:27:16,020
He came in from the defensive right side position.

244
00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:17,020
He comes in.

245
00:27:17,020 --> 00:27:19,020
Jim Marshall goes out.

246
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:21,020
And Lurchner was being hugged around the sidelines.

247
00:27:21,020 --> 00:27:23,020
Coming up with a big sack here.

248
00:27:23,020 --> 00:27:25,020
The Vikings defense.

249
00:27:25,020 --> 00:27:28,020
Three man rush. Not too many teams used it.

250
00:27:28,020 --> 00:27:31,020
You remember we talked about this in the past.

251
00:27:31,020 --> 00:27:36,020
After the Los Angeles Rams were so successful against the three man rush.

252
00:27:36,020 --> 00:27:40,020
Bud Grant really kind of threw it to the winds.

253
00:27:40,020 --> 00:27:42,020
Although last week he just threw it in.

254
00:27:42,020 --> 00:27:47,020
And the reason he had a three man rush last week, Joe, is it gives St. Louis a little something more to work on.

255
00:27:47,020 --> 00:27:50,020
Al Roberts in the putt. He'll try to kick it out near the corner.

256
00:27:50,020 --> 00:27:51,020
We have three men deep.

257
00:27:51,020 --> 00:27:52,020
Nate Wright on the left side.

258
00:27:52,020 --> 00:27:53,020
McCollum on the near side.

259
00:27:53,020 --> 00:27:56,020
And in the middle is Jackie Wallace at about the 10 yard line.

260
00:27:56,020 --> 00:27:57,020
There's a snap.

261
00:27:57,020 --> 00:27:58,020
There's a kick.

262
00:27:58,020 --> 00:27:59,020
And he hits it right down the middle.

263
00:27:59,020 --> 00:28:00,020
I'll see where it bounces.

264
00:28:00,020 --> 00:28:02,020
And it's going to roll down.

265
00:28:02,020 --> 00:28:05,020
One of the Vikings tried to block the cardinals away from the end zone.

266
00:28:05,020 --> 00:28:06,020
And I think he did.

267
00:28:06,020 --> 00:28:07,020
I think the ball.

268
00:28:07,020 --> 00:28:08,020
Now we'll wait and see.

269
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:10,020
It's down near the goal line.

270
00:28:10,020 --> 00:28:13,020
One of the Vikings blocked the cardinals away from the ball.

271
00:28:13,020 --> 00:28:14,020
Trying to keep it from downing it.

272
00:28:14,020 --> 00:28:16,020
But it's going to be touched down at the one yard line.

273
00:28:16,020 --> 00:28:21,020
It died before it could get to the end zone after it landed on that soft turf.

274
00:28:21,020 --> 00:28:22,020
Time out.

275
00:28:22,020 --> 00:28:24,020
I think it hit Billy Brown real quick, Joe.

276
00:28:24,020 --> 00:28:26,020
I think he had to recover it right there.

277
00:28:26,020 --> 00:28:27,020
Well, it could be.

278
00:28:27,020 --> 00:28:30,020
He tried to block that cardinal away so the ball would roll into the end zone.

279
00:28:30,020 --> 00:28:33,020
But the Vikings will have it on their own one yard line following this time out.

280
00:28:33,020 --> 00:28:36,020
More from the men in 60 seconds.

281
00:28:36,020 --> 00:28:41,020
Here's something important to keep in mind about saving at a savings and loan association.

282
00:28:41,020 --> 00:28:43,020
Your money is put to work in your community.

283
00:28:43,020 --> 00:28:49,020
And it's put to work in one of the very best ways, helping people to build and buy homes.

284
00:28:49,020 --> 00:28:51,020
That kind of money is needed today.

285
00:28:51,020 --> 00:28:53,020
It's good for the community.

286
00:28:53,020 --> 00:28:55,020
It's good for the economy.

287
00:28:55,020 --> 00:29:00,020
It's working in the solid, constructive way that is necessary to blunt the forward edge of inflation.

288
00:29:00,020 --> 00:29:03,020
And it is doing it right in your own community.

289
00:29:03,020 --> 00:29:07,020
Yes, saving at a savings and loan association is good for you.

290
00:29:07,020 --> 00:29:09,020
It's good for the economy.

291
00:29:09,020 --> 00:29:10,020
It's good for your community.

292
00:29:10,020 --> 00:29:12,020
And it helps to fight inflation.

293
00:29:12,020 --> 00:29:14,020
The more you save, the less you spend.

294
00:29:14,020 --> 00:29:18,020
And the more money you put to work building a strong, solid economy.

295
00:29:18,020 --> 00:29:22,020
This message was presented in the interest of the savings and loan industry

296
00:29:22,020 --> 00:29:26,020
by Twin City Federal in Minneapolis, St. Paul.

297
00:29:26,020 --> 00:29:48,020
First down for the Bikes on the wrong one, slot to the near side right, Gilliam lining up inside Jim Lass.

298
00:29:48,020 --> 00:29:51,020
A 39-yard kick by Hal Roberts.

299
00:29:51,020 --> 00:29:57,020
Hand off, and it goes out to about the four-yard line, Chuck Foreman picking up about three.

300
00:29:57,020 --> 00:30:00,020
A clarification on that punt, Billy Brown got back down there.

301
00:30:00,020 --> 00:30:03,020
He was initially going to try to block one of the cardinals away from it.

302
00:30:03,020 --> 00:30:07,020
Well, when the ball hit the ground, it bounced into Browning, and he had to dive on it to recover it.

303
00:30:07,020 --> 00:30:11,020
Otherwise, it might have been a St. Louis ball at the one-yard line.

304
00:30:11,020 --> 00:30:13,020
Now, it's second down, seven.

305
00:30:13,020 --> 00:30:15,020
Vikings on their own four-yard line.

306
00:30:15,020 --> 00:30:21,020
A little friend wants to either give them a different play or a different counter.

307
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:24,020
Gilliam wide to the left, Lash wide to the near side, second down, seven.

308
00:30:24,020 --> 00:30:26,020
The Bikes on their own four-yard line.

309
00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:28,020
Cardinals stunning at the line, a handoff performance.

310
00:30:28,020 --> 00:30:31,020
It goes out to about the eight-yard line.

311
00:30:31,020 --> 00:30:33,020
A big first down, Vikings can get it here.

312
00:30:33,020 --> 00:30:35,020
Foreman on the two straight carries.

313
00:30:35,020 --> 00:30:38,020
Inside, the ball rested inside the one-yard line.

314
00:30:38,020 --> 00:30:42,020
Now, it's short of the ten-yard line, called to nine.

315
00:30:42,020 --> 00:30:46,020
Third down, two, yes, two-plus to go.

316
00:30:46,020 --> 00:30:49,020
Leo Brooks made the stop, along with Mark Darnes in the middle linebacker.

317
00:30:49,020 --> 00:30:54,020
Very, very big possession for the Vikings now, and third down, along, two to go, and they're on nine.

318
00:30:54,020 --> 00:30:56,020
I still say, of course, nothing to nothing.

319
00:30:56,020 --> 00:30:59,020
They take too many chances, straight passing down right here.

320
00:30:59,020 --> 00:31:02,020
Lash wide to the left, Gilliam wide to the near side right.

321
00:31:02,020 --> 00:31:06,020
Fran gives it to Ozzie, and he did not make the first down.

322
00:31:06,020 --> 00:31:10,020
As the roofs came in on about the ten-yard line.

323
00:31:10,020 --> 00:31:15,020
It's going to be fourth down about one, but the Vikings did give Eishide a little room to punt the ball.

324
00:31:15,020 --> 00:31:19,020
Well, they tried to defensive left side, Arnis in the middle linebacker right there.

325
00:31:19,020 --> 00:31:22,020
Brooks and Council Rudolph also in a real tight situation.

326
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:26,020
The ball is just over the ten-yard line, but it's going to be short.

327
00:31:26,020 --> 00:31:27,020
Yeah, at least two feet.

328
00:31:27,020 --> 00:31:30,020
Fourth down, less than a yard, and the punting unit comes in,

329
00:31:30,020 --> 00:31:37,020
and Eishide will be forced to kick it away from his own end zone against the southwesternly wind at eight to twelve miles an hour.

330
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:41,020
I'm telling you, Terry Metcalf will probably be the only man back deep.

331
00:31:41,020 --> 00:31:43,020
They'll probably rush ten.

332
00:31:43,020 --> 00:31:48,020
Jackie Wallace, usually on the punt, splits way to the right, so he'll bring one man with him.

333
00:31:48,020 --> 00:31:49,020
Oh, he's in there tight now.

334
00:31:49,020 --> 00:31:53,020
I'd like to see Eishide kick it away from Wallace, or rather from Metcalf.

335
00:31:53,020 --> 00:31:55,020
He's back at about the forty-five in Viking territory.

336
00:31:55,020 --> 00:31:58,020
Eishide will kick it away from his own goal line.

337
00:31:58,020 --> 00:31:59,020
The Vikings are in trouble.

338
00:31:59,020 --> 00:32:01,020
There's a snap, takes his time, gets the kick away.

339
00:32:01,020 --> 00:32:03,020
It's a high one right down the middle.

340
00:32:03,020 --> 00:32:05,020
Metcalf waits for it at the forty-seven.

341
00:32:05,020 --> 00:32:08,020
He heads to the far side, spins, gets away from one man.

342
00:32:08,020 --> 00:32:14,020
A clip is thrown, pays it to forty, hands it away, and gets down, spinning, twisting out of bounds at the thirty-five yard line,

343
00:32:14,020 --> 00:32:16,020
but a penalty flag was thrown.

344
00:32:16,020 --> 00:32:20,020
I'll tell you, he was hit after he went out of bounds, and I don't know if he's hurt.

345
00:32:20,020 --> 00:32:23,020
There's a flag down about the forty-nine yard line, Joe,

346
00:32:23,020 --> 00:32:26,020
and I think that was a real late hit by one of the Vikings.

347
00:32:26,020 --> 00:32:28,020
He hit Metcalf after he went out of bounds.

348
00:32:28,020 --> 00:32:29,020
And he hit him right in.

349
00:32:29,020 --> 00:32:31,020
There's the flag down there, too.

350
00:32:31,020 --> 00:32:32,020
That was a good call.

351
00:32:32,020 --> 00:32:34,020
Yeah, it was a late hit.

352
00:32:34,020 --> 00:32:37,020
And it was a rather needless one after the penalty flag was thrown,

353
00:32:37,020 --> 00:32:43,020
and the guy who did it picked a very dangerous spot to do it right in the middle of the Cardinal bench.

354
00:32:43,020 --> 00:32:47,020
It might have been Brent McClanahan who hit Metcalf a little bit late.

355
00:32:47,020 --> 00:32:53,020
So we may have offsetting penalties here, which would be a big break for St. Louis, really,

356
00:32:53,020 --> 00:32:59,020
because they had clipped way, way early in the play.

357
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:01,020
A clip, offsetting penalties.

358
00:33:01,020 --> 00:33:06,020
And an unnecessary hit after Metcalf out of bounds.

359
00:33:06,020 --> 00:33:08,020
A referee penalty on the Vikings.

360
00:33:08,020 --> 00:33:10,020
What are they putting it back for?

361
00:33:10,020 --> 00:33:12,020
I don't know what they're doing now.

362
00:33:12,020 --> 00:33:14,020
They're bringing it back.

363
00:33:14,020 --> 00:33:18,020
They're putting the ball back into St. Louis territory.

364
00:33:18,020 --> 00:33:19,020
I don't understand this.

365
00:33:19,020 --> 00:33:26,020
I don't either.

366
00:33:26,020 --> 00:33:29,020
The ball club is just kind of milling around right now in midfield.

367
00:33:29,020 --> 00:33:40,020
The officials started back across the 50-yard line, and now they put it at the Minnesota 46-yard line.

368
00:33:40,020 --> 00:33:43,020
Matt Blair apparently was the man who got the late hit.

369
00:33:43,020 --> 00:33:47,020
A clipping penalty in the Cardinals was called against number 52, Jack Lavec.

370
00:33:47,020 --> 00:33:52,020
Jack Lavec on the Cardinals special unit was called for the clip.

371
00:33:52,020 --> 00:33:55,020
And Blair, offsetting penalties, and they'll give St. Louis the ball to 46.

372
00:33:55,020 --> 00:33:57,020
Now, I thought they'd kick it over in a situation like that.

373
00:33:57,020 --> 00:33:59,020
I would, I would too. I'm going to have to get a...

374
00:33:59,020 --> 00:34:02,020
Well, I'll just soon take it right here.

375
00:34:02,020 --> 00:34:05,020
First down St. Louis at the 46-yard line in Viking territory.

376
00:34:05,020 --> 00:34:07,020
Thomas wide to the near side.

377
00:34:07,020 --> 00:34:08,020
Grace put wide to the right.

378
00:34:08,020 --> 00:34:12,020
High formation, left cap and Otis to the running backs.

379
00:34:12,020 --> 00:34:17,020
Jim Hart to quarterbacks, had his finest season.

380
00:34:17,020 --> 00:34:20,020
And he fakes to Otis, throws over the middle, and complete!

381
00:34:20,020 --> 00:34:22,020
Almost intercepted on the deflection.

382
00:34:22,020 --> 00:34:25,020
A quick slide in to the wide receiver, Earl Thomas.

383
00:34:25,020 --> 00:34:29,020
He couldn't hang on, and Kraus was there along with four or five of the Vikings.

384
00:34:29,020 --> 00:34:31,020
And Hildenberg almost came up with a deflected interception,

385
00:34:31,020 --> 00:34:33,020
but it falls in completed second and ten.

386
00:34:33,020 --> 00:34:36,020
Models wise, receivers, they do not like that play, Joe.

387
00:34:36,020 --> 00:34:40,020
When it's a quick slam over the middle, the safety man, if he can pick it up,

388
00:34:40,020 --> 00:34:42,020
they can just tear your head off.

389
00:34:42,020 --> 00:34:44,020
Second down, ten.

390
00:34:44,020 --> 00:34:46,020
Big red on the Viking 46-yard line.

391
00:34:46,020 --> 00:34:50,020
We have 52 seconds left to go in his scoreless first period.

392
00:34:50,020 --> 00:34:52,020
J.V. Kane wide to the near side, left.

393
00:34:52,020 --> 00:34:53,020
He'll be working against Jackie Wallace.

394
00:34:53,020 --> 00:34:54,020
Wide to the right, Mel Gray.

395
00:34:54,020 --> 00:34:57,020
He'll be operating against cornerback Nate Wright.

396
00:34:57,020 --> 00:34:58,020
Loose backfield.

397
00:34:58,020 --> 00:35:02,020
Now Gray comes in motion to the near side, left.

398
00:35:02,020 --> 00:35:04,020
Hart fakes the outside pitch, gives to Otis.

399
00:35:04,020 --> 00:35:07,020
Up the middle, he's hooked with a 43-yard line.

400
00:35:07,020 --> 00:35:09,020
A great tackle.

401
00:35:09,020 --> 00:35:10,020
Sutherland.

402
00:35:10,020 --> 00:35:13,020
Oh, Doug Sutherland made a beautiful tackle that play.

403
00:35:13,020 --> 00:35:15,020
As he caught it from an angle and dropped it,

404
00:35:15,020 --> 00:35:17,020
a gain of about two and a half.

405
00:35:17,020 --> 00:35:19,020
Third down and a long seven.

406
00:35:19,020 --> 00:35:23,020
Again, Thomas in with a play from head coach Don Coriel,

407
00:35:23,020 --> 00:35:26,020
who's done a masterful job in turning this Cardinal franchise around.

408
00:35:26,020 --> 00:35:30,020
Here comes fence runner Bob Lurchner in with an offensive backfield.

409
00:35:30,020 --> 00:35:32,020
A goal with a five-man rush for the six defensive backs.

410
00:35:32,020 --> 00:35:35,020
Terry Brown and Randy Pohl will come in in this situation.

411
00:35:35,020 --> 00:35:39,020
Now we've got six defensive backs and five down liners.

412
00:35:39,020 --> 00:35:42,020
Well, he used it once before and got a sack.

413
00:35:42,020 --> 00:35:43,020
Hart back to pass.

414
00:35:43,020 --> 00:35:44,020
He's got 20 a time this time.

415
00:35:44,020 --> 00:35:45,020
Wings it out.

416
00:35:45,020 --> 00:35:47,020
It's a play to save for Earl Thomas.

417
00:35:47,020 --> 00:35:48,020
He was hit by Jackie Wallace.

418
00:35:48,020 --> 00:35:50,020
He dropped it on the 29-yard line.

419
00:35:50,020 --> 00:35:52,020
Getting a little cold down there.

420
00:35:52,020 --> 00:35:54,020
He's got to just relax those hands.

421
00:35:54,020 --> 00:35:56,020
He might have been out of bounds anyway, Joe.

422
00:35:56,020 --> 00:35:58,020
I think he lost the sidelines there.

423
00:35:58,020 --> 00:36:00,020
Jackie played that one very well.

424
00:36:00,020 --> 00:36:02,020
Jackie played it, timed it beautifully.

425
00:36:02,020 --> 00:36:03,020
Fourth down, seven.

426
00:36:03,020 --> 00:36:05,020
Ten seconds left to go in the first period.

427
00:36:05,020 --> 00:36:07,020
The ball at the Viking, 43.

428
00:36:07,020 --> 00:36:12,020
And Roberts, who hit a soft one down the middle to the Viking one-yard line a moment ago,

429
00:36:12,020 --> 00:36:14,020
will try it again.

430
00:36:14,020 --> 00:36:16,020
Again, the Vikings drop three.

431
00:36:16,020 --> 00:36:17,020
Wallace in the middle.

432
00:36:17,020 --> 00:36:20,020
Nate right on the left side and protecting that corner.

433
00:36:20,020 --> 00:36:24,020
And Sam McCullum protecting the near corner on the right side.

434
00:36:27,020 --> 00:36:29,020
Roberts standing a little bit deeper than average.

435
00:36:29,020 --> 00:36:30,020
Gets the snap.

436
00:36:30,020 --> 00:36:31,020
Moves forward.

437
00:36:31,020 --> 00:36:32,020
There's the kick.

438
00:36:32,020 --> 00:36:33,020
High floater.

439
00:36:33,020 --> 00:36:34,020
Again, down the middle.

440
00:36:34,020 --> 00:36:35,020
The Vikings want to let it go.

441
00:36:35,020 --> 00:36:39,020
This time it bounces out of bounds at the one-yard line.

442
00:36:39,020 --> 00:36:40,020
It was saved.

443
00:36:40,020 --> 00:36:46,020
It was saved down there by Steve Jones, who tipped the ball before it crossed the goal line.

444
00:36:46,020 --> 00:36:47,020
Cut.

445
00:36:47,020 --> 00:36:50,020
Like he's in a hole again, Joe.

446
00:36:50,020 --> 00:36:52,020
Beautiful play by Steve Jones that time.

447
00:36:52,020 --> 00:36:54,020
There's the end of the first quarter.

448
00:36:54,020 --> 00:36:57,020
No score in the ball game with the Vikings deep in the bottle.

449
00:36:57,020 --> 00:37:03,020
A 41-yard kick on that play, and the Vikings will have it on their own two-yard line when the second period resumes.

450
00:37:03,020 --> 00:37:04,020
No score in the game.

451
00:37:04,020 --> 00:37:08,020
Play continues in one minute on the Minnesota Vikings KSTP Radio Network.

452
00:37:09,020 --> 00:37:14,020
If you want to know what Christmas means, it's best to ask children.

453
00:37:14,020 --> 00:37:18,020
Somebody did, and Twin City Federal brings you some answers.

454
00:37:18,020 --> 00:37:20,020
What is Christmas?

455
00:37:20,020 --> 00:37:24,020
Christmas is the time of year when everyone acts like they're supposed to.

456
00:37:24,020 --> 00:37:26,020
Now that's a straightforward answer.

457
00:37:26,020 --> 00:37:30,020
And here's another one that Twin City Federal would like you to think about.

458
00:37:30,020 --> 00:37:32,020
What does Christmas mean?

459
00:37:32,020 --> 00:37:38,020
Candy and toys, Santa and noise, pushing and shoving, hauling and lugging, and love.

460
00:37:38,020 --> 00:37:45,020
All the folks at Twin City Federal hope that you are spending Christmas with the people you love in a place that is home to you.

461
00:37:45,020 --> 00:37:50,020
May you have a Christmas that is rich in hope, happiness, warmth, beauty, and love.

462
00:37:50,020 --> 00:37:54,020
This message comes to you on behalf of all the Twin City Federal offices,

463
00:37:54,020 --> 00:37:57,020
by the famous twin clock, splash time, and temperature.

464
00:37:57,020 --> 00:37:59,020
Think happy today.

465
00:37:59,020 --> 00:38:16,020
That's what Christmas is all about.

466
00:38:16,020 --> 00:38:20,020
Well, the Vikings start their second period back on their own two-yard line.

467
00:38:20,020 --> 00:38:25,020
For the second time early in the ball game, the Cardinals have been able to set the ball out near the goal line.

468
00:38:25,020 --> 00:38:29,020
That time it was a great play by the down man, Steve Jones, a reserve running back,

469
00:38:29,020 --> 00:38:33,020
who actually caught up with the punters who was about to cross the goal line.

470
00:38:33,020 --> 00:38:36,020
And he just batted the ball out of bounds.

471
00:38:36,020 --> 00:38:40,020
Of course, where he touched it, it was rolled out, and that's at the Viking two-yard line.

472
00:38:40,020 --> 00:38:46,020
Steve Jones earned his salary probably, Joe, right on that one play as far as the Cardinal organization is concerned.

473
00:38:46,020 --> 00:38:49,020
Ball's inside the two.

474
00:38:49,020 --> 00:38:55,020
The Viking's milling around now, talking with these hands in front of his pants.

475
00:38:55,020 --> 00:39:02,020
It's always the warmest spot to sit in your body.

476
00:39:02,020 --> 00:39:07,020
It is. It's a natural thing. You always see football players go right there.

477
00:39:07,020 --> 00:39:11,020
I didn't say anything.

478
00:39:11,020 --> 00:39:14,020
All right, first down, Vikings on their own two-yard line.

479
00:39:14,020 --> 00:39:20,020
That's actually about one and a half. It's closer to the one than the two.

480
00:39:20,020 --> 00:39:26,020
Swat right, Gilliam lining up inside, Jim Rice running back to Ozzie and Foreman.

481
00:39:26,020 --> 00:39:32,020
Parkinson hands off to Ozzie, and he gets maybe two.

482
00:39:32,020 --> 00:39:35,020
He was stacked up right in the center of that big red defensive line.

483
00:39:35,020 --> 00:39:38,020
There's the late, of course, the whistle blew. I think he lost control of the football.

484
00:39:38,020 --> 00:39:42,020
Cardinals came up with it, but it's going to continue to be Viking football.

485
00:39:42,020 --> 00:39:45,020
They mark it at the five, so Ozzie picked up about three and a half.

486
00:39:45,020 --> 00:39:50,020
It's second down, and completely zone blocking, trying to wedge them out, Joe,

487
00:39:50,020 --> 00:39:52,020
and that ball's inside the one.

488
00:39:52,020 --> 00:39:56,020
They double-team one of the defensive down line on the tackle there.

489
00:39:56,020 --> 00:39:58,020
I just hope they pick up three or four.

490
00:39:58,020 --> 00:40:01,020
Second and short seven. Now they have a slot to the near side left.

491
00:40:01,020 --> 00:40:03,020
Gilliam lining up inside, Jim Lash.

492
00:40:03,020 --> 00:40:06,020
Now they go to a double wing, with Ozzie as a wing back to the right.

493
00:40:06,020 --> 00:40:11,020
To give it to Foreman. Foreman looking for running room, and falls forward to the nine-yard line.

494
00:40:11,020 --> 00:40:14,020
Stop, almost standing straight up at the six, and all of a sudden runs forward

495
00:40:14,020 --> 00:40:17,020
and picked up an extra three yards. Very big.

496
00:40:17,020 --> 00:40:21,020
Now it'll be third down and about two and a half. The ball at the Viking nine.

497
00:40:21,020 --> 00:40:25,020
I'll tell you, it's a dangerous running back, Joe, on third and two, third and one,

498
00:40:25,020 --> 00:40:29,020
because most of your linebackers almost take themselves out of the play

499
00:40:29,020 --> 00:40:31,020
as far as pursuit is concerned.

500
00:40:31,020 --> 00:40:35,020
Now a guy like Foreman gets a little trap block, gets by that first flow,

501
00:40:35,020 --> 00:40:38,020
could break it for a long, long run.

502
00:40:38,020 --> 00:40:42,020
All right, again, slot left, Gilliam inside, Lash. Third down, a long two.

503
00:40:42,020 --> 00:40:44,020
The Vikings on their own nine-yard line.

504
00:40:44,020 --> 00:40:47,020
First possession in the second period, no score.

505
00:40:47,020 --> 00:40:50,020
To give is to Foreman, he struggles, he didn't make it.

506
00:40:50,020 --> 00:40:53,020
He tried the right side, he was hit just across the ten and shoved back,

507
00:40:53,020 --> 00:40:58,020
and they'll see where they mark it, but I think he's going to be at least a half-yard shy at best.

508
00:40:58,020 --> 00:41:00,020
It'll be close.

509
00:41:00,020 --> 00:41:05,020
First quarter stats, Minnesota and the Cardinals both had three first downs.

510
00:41:05,020 --> 00:41:08,020
Rushing, St. Louis 37, Minnesota 27.

511
00:41:08,020 --> 00:41:13,020
Passing yards, St. Louis 23, Minnesota 30.

512
00:41:13,020 --> 00:41:18,020
So net yards very, very close. The Cardinals were 60, Minnesota was 57.

513
00:41:18,020 --> 00:41:21,020
Fran was three out of six for 30 yards in the first quarter.

514
00:41:21,020 --> 00:41:25,020
Hart, one out of seven, had at least two or three dropped.

515
00:41:25,020 --> 00:41:32,020
Now they're measuring. Oh, they got it. I didn't think there was any way.

516
00:41:32,020 --> 00:41:36,020
First down for the Vikes five. What a big first down.

517
00:41:36,020 --> 00:41:39,020
Had to be a lace in the ball somewhere.

518
00:41:39,020 --> 00:41:42,020
The ball was just across the 11-yard line.

519
00:41:42,020 --> 00:41:45,020
So the Vikings pick up a big first down.

520
00:41:45,020 --> 00:41:50,020
13-31 left to go, no score in the first half.

521
00:41:50,020 --> 00:41:54,020
Now Lash wide to the right, Gilliam comes wide to the near side left.

522
00:41:54,020 --> 00:41:58,020
See if Fran now opens it up a little bit.

523
00:41:58,020 --> 00:42:02,020
Cardinals gapping the line on the defense, Fran back to pass, half time.

524
00:42:02,020 --> 00:42:05,020
Swings it out, caught by Foreman, gets the block.

525
00:42:05,020 --> 00:42:09,020
He's at the 15, twisting to the 19-yard line.

526
00:42:09,020 --> 00:42:12,020
Andy Maurer gave him a great block out on the right flat.

527
00:42:12,020 --> 00:42:17,020
He cut back inside Maurer and cut a field about the 19-yard line on a great twisting run.

528
00:42:17,020 --> 00:42:21,020
Well, that's the third catch for Chuck Foreman today.

529
00:42:21,020 --> 00:42:27,020
Transcompleted four, Joe. All three I'm going to Chuck Foreman.

530
00:42:27,020 --> 00:42:32,020
Second down, two. The ball just shy of the Viking 20-yard line.

531
00:42:32,020 --> 00:42:36,020
The other pass, Frank Completed was to Ozzie.

532
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:39,020
So he's going to his backs on all his completions.

533
00:42:39,020 --> 00:42:42,020
Wide to the near side, Gilliam flip wide to the right.

534
00:42:42,020 --> 00:42:44,020
This is a good passing down and second and short.

535
00:42:44,020 --> 00:42:48,020
Said he gives to Ozzie, who gets to the 20, just across the 20.

536
00:42:48,020 --> 00:42:52,020
And he got chopped down right there and a flag is thrown.

537
00:42:52,020 --> 00:42:55,020
On the right side too, I think it was number 62.

538
00:42:55,020 --> 00:42:58,020
That would be Ed White.

539
00:42:58,020 --> 00:43:02,020
Bob Roran, Jankowski made the tackle for St. Louis.

540
00:43:02,020 --> 00:43:05,020
And it's going to be a penalty against the Vikes.

541
00:43:05,020 --> 00:43:13,020
Holding call, and that will move the ball from the 19 back to the 9 and make it second down and about 12 to go.

542
00:43:13,020 --> 00:43:16,020
St. Louis, I'm sure, will take the penalty.

543
00:43:16,020 --> 00:43:20,020
Ed White is the man.

544
00:43:20,020 --> 00:43:23,020
Yep, they're going to bring it back.

545
00:43:23,020 --> 00:43:25,020
Well, it's at the 10.

546
00:43:25,020 --> 00:43:30,020
So that makes it now, second down and a short 12.

547
00:43:30,020 --> 00:43:32,020
12 and a half minutes to go here in the first half.

548
00:43:32,020 --> 00:43:33,020
No score.

549
00:43:33,020 --> 00:43:37,020
The Vikings, after a drive, it took them to the St. Louis 22-yard line,

550
00:43:37,020 --> 00:43:42,020
where they were intercepted by middle linebacker Mark Arneson, who did not pick up a pass all year.

551
00:43:42,020 --> 00:43:49,020
They've been bottled up ever since then with a kick out of bounds on their one and a kick out of bounds on the two.

552
00:43:49,020 --> 00:43:52,020
Gilliam wide to the right, flash wide to the near side left.

553
00:43:52,020 --> 00:43:53,020
Second down, 12.

554
00:43:53,020 --> 00:43:55,020
The Vikes on their own 10-yard line.

555
00:43:55,020 --> 00:43:56,020
A grand, gives to Foreman.

556
00:43:56,020 --> 00:44:01,020
Sliding to the right, comes back, in, angles the top to 15, escapes one man, his hip, and shoved back.

557
00:44:01,020 --> 00:44:04,020
He got to about the 17-yard line.

558
00:44:04,020 --> 00:44:11,020
Foreman, eluding the first couple of would-be tacklers, Duren finally caught him and drove him back.

559
00:44:11,020 --> 00:44:16,020
But they'll spot the ball at the Viking 17 and a half, make it the 18-yard line.

560
00:44:16,020 --> 00:44:18,020
So now it'll be third down and four.

561
00:44:18,020 --> 00:44:22,020
So the Vikings are within striking distance of the first down.

562
00:44:22,020 --> 00:44:27,020
Big run by Foreman, who's beginning to pick up a few yards on the ground now to go with his pass receptions.

563
00:44:27,020 --> 00:44:29,020
He's got three already today.

564
00:44:29,020 --> 00:44:31,020
He's got 56 yards in total offense.

565
00:44:31,020 --> 00:44:32,020
He's caught three for 28.

566
00:44:32,020 --> 00:44:35,020
He's run the ball nine times for 28.

567
00:44:35,020 --> 00:44:39,020
Locked to the near side left, Gilliam lining up inside, second-year man Jim Lash.

568
00:44:39,020 --> 00:44:40,020
Third down, four.

569
00:44:40,020 --> 00:44:42,020
Big play for the Vikes on their own 18-yard line.

570
00:44:42,020 --> 00:44:44,020
Grand up, back to pass, half-time.

571
00:44:44,020 --> 00:44:48,020
Balls, overshoots Ozzie at the 21-yard line.

572
00:44:48,020 --> 00:44:49,020
He was covered by Stallings.

573
00:44:49,020 --> 00:44:54,020
Grand seemed to have plenty of time on that play and went to Ozzie, looping out of the right flat.

574
00:44:54,020 --> 00:44:56,020
Gilliam looked like he was open down the middle deep.

575
00:44:56,020 --> 00:45:02,020
He was deep, but he had two men back there, Joe, and it would have to be at least a 50-to-55-yard pass.

576
00:45:02,020 --> 00:45:08,020
And those defensive secondary men can really react when the ball's in the air that long.

577
00:45:08,020 --> 00:45:13,020
Now that's fourth down and four, and the Vikings might have had a burst down had it not been for the penalty flag.

578
00:45:13,020 --> 00:45:15,020
Forced to kick it away.

579
00:45:15,020 --> 00:45:17,020
Eyes shied for the first time today as the wind at his back.

580
00:45:17,020 --> 00:45:20,020
Metcalf back in single safety.

581
00:45:20,020 --> 00:45:21,020
There's a snap.

582
00:45:21,020 --> 00:45:22,020
There's the kick.

583
00:45:22,020 --> 00:45:26,020
High hanging kick, not too deep, but there shouldn't be a return.

584
00:45:26,020 --> 00:45:31,020
Metcalf with a fair grab with the Viking, 49.

585
00:45:31,020 --> 00:45:34,020
Now that is a 29-yard punt.

586
00:45:34,020 --> 00:45:38,020
Timeout with 11.32 left to go and a scoreless first half.

587
00:45:38,020 --> 00:45:41,020
More from the Met in 60 seconds.

588
00:45:41,020 --> 00:45:46,020
Here's an important point we want to make again and again and again.

589
00:45:46,020 --> 00:45:50,020
One of the really good inflation fighters is a savings account.

590
00:45:50,020 --> 00:45:54,020
When people save more money, it eases the pressures to raise prices.

591
00:45:54,020 --> 00:46:01,020
When people save more money, it creates new capital, the kind of capital needed to finance a productive economy.

592
00:46:01,020 --> 00:46:08,020
When you're saving at a savings and loan association, for example, those savings are used primarily to help build and buy homes.

593
00:46:08,020 --> 00:46:13,020
That's where capital is really needed today in the hard-pressed housing industry.

594
00:46:13,020 --> 00:46:19,020
When this country is building homes, it is building a solid economy, an inflation-fighting economy.

595
00:46:19,020 --> 00:46:23,020
And you are helping when you save at a savings and loan association.

596
00:46:23,020 --> 00:46:38,020
The game continues at the beginning of side two.

597
00:46:53,020 --> 00:47:08,020
Okay.

598
00:47:08,020 --> 00:47:23,020
Okay.

599
00:47:23,020 --> 00:47:38,020
Okay.

600
00:47:38,020 --> 00:47:53,020
Okay.

601
00:47:53,020 --> 00:48:08,020
Okay.

602
00:48:23,020 --> 00:48:45,020
Okay.

603
00:48:45,020 --> 00:49:00,020
Okay.

604
00:49:00,020 --> 00:49:15,020
Okay.

605
00:49:15,020 --> 00:49:23,020
Okay.

606
00:49:23,020 --> 00:49:38,020
Okay.

607
00:49:38,020 --> 00:49:53,020
Okay.

608
00:49:53,020 --> 00:50:08,020
Okay.

609
00:50:08,020 --> 00:50:23,020
Okay.

610
00:50:23,020 --> 00:50:38,020
Okay.

611
00:50:38,020 --> 00:50:53,020
Okay.

612
00:50:53,020 --> 00:51:07,020
Okay.

613
00:51:07,020 --> 00:51:12,020
Okay.

614
00:51:12,020 --> 00:51:22,020
Okay.

615
00:51:22,020 --> 00:51:37,020
Okay.

616
00:51:37,020 --> 00:51:52,020
Okay.

617
00:51:52,020 --> 00:52:04,020
Okay.

618
00:52:04,020 --> 00:52:09,020
Okay.

619
00:52:09,020 --> 00:52:19,020
Okay.

620
00:52:19,020 --> 00:52:34,020
Okay.

621
00:52:34,020 --> 00:52:38,020
Okay.

622
00:52:38,020 --> 00:52:53,020
Okay.

623
00:52:53,020 --> 00:53:01,020
Okay.

624
00:53:01,020 --> 00:53:11,020
Okay.

625
00:53:11,020 --> 00:53:18,020
Okay.

626
00:53:18,020 --> 00:53:26,020
Okay.

627
00:53:26,020 --> 00:53:31,020
Okay.

628
00:53:31,020 --> 00:53:39,020
Okay.

629
00:53:39,020 --> 00:53:43,020
Okay.

630
00:53:43,020 --> 00:53:45,020
Okay.

631
00:53:45,020 --> 00:53:47,020
Okay.

632
00:53:47,020 --> 00:53:49,020
Okay.

633
00:53:49,020 --> 00:53:59,020
Okay.

634
00:53:59,020 --> 00:54:06,020
Okay.

635
00:54:06,020 --> 00:54:12,020
Okay.

636
00:54:12,020 --> 00:54:22,020
Okay.

637
00:54:22,020 --> 00:54:29,020
Okay.

638
00:54:29,020 --> 00:54:33,020
Okay.

639
00:54:33,020 --> 00:54:43,020
Okay.

640
00:54:43,020 --> 00:54:50,020
Okay.

641
00:54:50,020 --> 00:55:00,020
Okay.

642
00:55:00,020 --> 00:55:06,020
Okay.

643
00:55:06,020 --> 00:55:15,020
Okay.

644
00:55:15,020 --> 00:55:21,020
Okay.

645
00:55:21,020 --> 00:55:23,020
Okay.

646
00:55:23,020 --> 00:55:25,020
Okay.

647
00:55:25,020 --> 00:55:27,020
Okay.

648
00:55:27,020 --> 00:55:34,020
Okay.

649
00:55:34,020 --> 00:55:39,020
Okay.

650
00:55:39,020 --> 00:55:44,020
Okay.

651
00:55:44,020 --> 00:55:48,020
Okay.

652
00:55:48,020 --> 00:55:50,020
Okay.

653
00:55:50,020 --> 00:55:54,020
Okay.

654
00:55:54,020 --> 00:55:57,020
Okay.

655
00:55:57,020 --> 00:56:03,020
Okay.

656
00:56:03,020 --> 00:56:08,020
Okay.

657
00:56:08,020 --> 00:56:13,020
Oh, what a break for the Hikes! That came after the play was already over!

658
00:56:13,020 --> 00:56:15,020
It's gonna be a first down.

659
00:56:15,020 --> 00:56:19,020
It'll be a first down, but it'll move it back from the 9, probably to the 24 yard line.

660
00:56:19,020 --> 00:56:23,020
Take a late hit, or a late block on Jeff Byrne.

661
00:56:23,020 --> 00:56:25,020
That's what it was.

662
00:56:25,020 --> 00:56:27,020
15 big whips.

663
00:56:27,020 --> 00:56:31,020
Oh, what a break for the Hikes! And the ball goes back to the Minnesota 24 yard line.

664
00:56:31,020 --> 00:56:32,020
What do we do now?

665
00:56:32,020 --> 00:56:34,020
Might do a third down. How are we gonna rule it?

666
00:56:34,020 --> 00:56:36,020
He had the first down made.

667
00:56:36,020 --> 00:56:39,020
Oh, he's still got the third down, much of it.

668
00:56:39,020 --> 00:56:43,020
On the near sideline. So it will be third down again, and eight yards to go.

669
00:56:43,020 --> 00:56:45,020
Oh, what a break!

670
00:56:45,020 --> 00:56:50,020
Conrad Dobler, the right offensive guard, was the man who was building his own fraction of it.

671
00:56:50,020 --> 00:56:53,020
That might well be the biggest penalty of the game.

672
00:56:53,020 --> 00:56:56,020
No question about it.

673
00:56:56,020 --> 00:57:00,020
Now it's third down and eight for St. Lawrence at the back end, 24.

674
00:57:00,020 --> 00:57:03,020
William Auburn of Eastside.

675
00:57:03,020 --> 00:57:06,020
Now it's a quick wide to left down hit fence.

676
00:57:06,020 --> 00:57:10,020
Line's up to the double wing right.

677
00:57:10,020 --> 00:57:12,020
Mark drops back to pass.

678
00:57:12,020 --> 00:57:16,020
And the Mets, that's it! He's got running on! He's 15!

679
00:57:16,020 --> 00:57:21,020
And he's up and in at the 14 yard line. He's got the first down.

680
00:57:21,020 --> 00:57:26,020
Number one drop back. Mark steps up inside, running the rush.

681
00:57:26,020 --> 00:57:28,020
Had nothing but wide open mail in front of him.

682
00:57:28,020 --> 00:57:34,020
The late right flanker came up to offend him at the 14 yard line, but it should be enough for the first down.

683
00:57:34,020 --> 00:57:35,020
It is.

684
00:57:35,020 --> 00:57:39,020
Let's pause 10 seconds for space identification on the Vikings, KSEP radio network.

685
00:57:39,020 --> 00:57:44,020
20 degrees in the front side, east southwest winds at 12, with light snow falling at 1 o'clock.

686
00:57:44,020 --> 00:57:49,020
KSEP central, in the network.

687
00:57:49,020 --> 00:57:52,020
Oh, big play by Jim Hart.

688
00:57:52,020 --> 00:57:56,020
Now, J.B. Kane, wide to the east side. Wide to left to south side.

689
00:57:56,020 --> 00:57:58,020
He comes in motion again.

690
00:57:58,020 --> 00:58:00,020
To the near side right.

691
00:58:00,020 --> 00:58:02,020
He drops to the back of the 14. Handle from Mets back.

692
00:58:02,020 --> 00:58:03,020
Pushing.

693
00:58:03,020 --> 00:58:05,020
Down at the 15 yard line.

694
00:58:05,020 --> 00:58:10,020
The Wally Hilgenberg, great ankle tackle as he leaned over the blocker.

695
00:58:10,020 --> 00:58:11,020
And caught.

696
00:58:11,020 --> 00:58:14,020
Hips off as he faked to the outside and tried to cut back inside the blocker.

697
00:58:14,020 --> 00:58:17,020
His second down line. The blowout breaking 13.

698
00:58:17,020 --> 00:58:19,020
Kane Jones, so right at the point of attack, Jones.

699
00:58:19,020 --> 00:58:22,020
Great lateral movement, Alan Page.

700
00:58:22,020 --> 00:58:28,020
Amazing, 245 pounds. You know, sticking, when it's night, I ran into Wally Chambers, who,

701
00:58:28,020 --> 00:58:32,020
in my estimation, plays as close to Alan Page as anybody in professional football.

702
00:58:32,020 --> 00:58:34,020
Wally's up there visiting Chuck Foreman.

703
00:58:34,020 --> 00:58:36,020
They're very, very good friends.

704
00:58:36,020 --> 00:58:40,020
They made an appearance in the All-Star game a couple years ago.

705
00:58:40,020 --> 00:58:42,020
Second down line.

706
00:58:42,020 --> 00:58:43,020
Well, wide to the near side.

707
00:58:43,020 --> 00:58:47,020
Wide to the left of the left side. It's the bottom of the Viking 14 yard line.

708
00:58:47,020 --> 00:58:50,020
And, he's got the pass. It's hard.

709
00:58:50,020 --> 00:58:53,020
It goes without a cut. And, it's a touchdown.

710
00:58:53,020 --> 00:58:57,020
He might do the trade and Jackie Smith will hit the way and get the number.

711
00:58:57,020 --> 00:59:00,020
No, it's Alan Thomas. Alan Thomas slid in.

712
00:59:00,020 --> 00:59:01,020
And, it was cut right to the left.

713
00:59:01,020 --> 00:59:03,020
He's got a headwind across the field.

714
00:59:03,020 --> 00:59:06,020
Made the drive at the side yard line and barely got it across the goal line.

715
00:59:06,020 --> 00:59:10,020
And, the Cardinals were taking a six-up and right here at the Boston Stadium.

716
00:59:10,020 --> 00:59:12,020
It was finally time to go in the first half.

717
00:59:12,020 --> 00:59:16,020
And, it was a second down play. A 13-yard touchdown pass.

718
00:59:16,020 --> 00:59:20,020
From Jim Huck. Plenty of protection, Joe. He just waited for Thomas.

719
00:59:20,020 --> 00:59:23,020
Coming across from the left side. Declared a linebacker.

720
00:59:23,020 --> 00:59:27,020
He put it right on the money. It's a four-yard line. He went in from there.

721
00:59:27,020 --> 00:59:30,020
A little bit of a last-court play.

722
00:59:30,020 --> 00:59:33,020
A plenty of opportunities. A kick by Huck in his head.

723
00:59:33,020 --> 00:59:37,020
And, it's going out. St. Louis 7, Minnesota Vikings, nothing.

724
00:59:37,020 --> 00:59:40,020
We'll pause right now on the Minnesota Vikings.

725
00:59:40,020 --> 00:59:43,020
CSU-PAI-114.

726
00:59:43,020 --> 00:59:48,020
The Vikings fans, you're probably well aware of the new rule changes put into effect this season.

727
00:59:48,020 --> 00:59:50,020
They don't change the game of football all that much.

728
00:59:50,020 --> 00:59:55,020
They just make it more entertaining. More entertaining for you, the fans.

729
00:59:55,020 --> 01:00:00,020
And, I'd like to say that same principle applies to Twin City Federal's Pass Card.

730
01:00:00,020 --> 01:00:03,020
A PCS Pass Card doesn't change your way of saving money.

731
01:00:03,020 --> 01:00:07,020
It just makes your savings account more useful and makes saving a little easier.

732
01:00:07,020 --> 01:00:10,020
For instance, Pass Card feeds deposits.

733
01:00:10,020 --> 01:00:14,020
Let's you make out withdrawals faster. Gives you an instant receipt.

734
01:00:14,020 --> 01:00:16,020
And, automatic quarterly staples.

735
01:00:16,020 --> 01:00:21,020
It also turns on PCS' new 24-hour total killers, the Happy Machines.

736
01:00:21,020 --> 01:00:28,020
Day or night, you can use the Happy Machines to deposit or withdraw money, cash cash, and make mortgage payments.

737
01:00:28,020 --> 01:00:32,020
And, there are a lot of other things you'll be able to do with Pass Card in the future.

738
01:00:32,020 --> 01:00:36,020
So, stop in with those famous TwinFlocks flash time and temperature soon.

739
01:00:36,020 --> 01:00:42,020
And, ask about Pass Card, PCS' new way of making your savings account more useful.

740
01:00:42,020 --> 01:01:10,020
...

741
01:01:10,020 --> 01:01:35,020
...

742
01:01:35,020 --> 01:02:02,020
...

743
01:02:02,020 --> 01:02:18,020
...

744
01:02:18,020 --> 01:02:33,020
...

745
01:02:33,020 --> 01:02:48,020
...

746
01:02:48,020 --> 01:02:55,020
...

747
01:02:55,020 --> 01:03:10,020
...

748
01:03:10,020 --> 01:03:25,020
...

749
01:03:25,020 --> 01:03:38,020
...

750
01:03:38,020 --> 01:03:53,020
...

751
01:03:53,020 --> 01:04:03,020
...

752
01:04:03,020 --> 01:04:18,020
...

753
01:04:18,020 --> 01:04:28,020
...

754
01:04:28,020 --> 01:04:43,020
...

755
01:04:43,020 --> 01:04:53,020
...

756
01:04:53,020 --> 01:05:00,020
...

757
01:05:00,020 --> 01:05:07,020
...

758
01:05:07,020 --> 01:05:14,020
