The first Super Bowl was played on Sunday, January 15, 1967, when the Kansas City Chiefs met the Green Bay Packers at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
In 1966, the NFL and AFL were separate leagues, with independent schedules.
Due to the success of the AFL through the 1960s, the two leagues decided to schedule a championship game after the end of each of their seasons.
The leagues originally chose the name the AFL-NFL Championship Game, but before the season began, Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt began referring to it as the Super Bowl, and the name stuck.
The Chiefs dominated the American Football League with an 11-2-1 regular season record, and destroyed Buffalo in the AFL Championship Game.
The Packers were coached by Vince Lombardi, and they represented the National Football League after finishing with a 12-2 record and beating Dallas in the NFL Championship.
The game was called on both CBS and NBC radio networks. This audio is from the NBC Network broadcast, featuring announcers Jim Simpson and George Raderman.
At this moment, bands are masked down to our left. The Coliseum floor is green. To our right, the yellow ends on with Chiefs, spelled out in red letters, and the American Football League emblem.
To our left, in green letters, spelled out Packers with the NFL-familiar shield. And in a few moments, I'm sure that we will have our national anthem.
And George Raderman, there's been a lot of talk, there's been a lot written about this AFL and NFL Championship, but if I ask you what thoughts are fleeting through your mind at this moment as a former great quarterback yourself, what would you say?
Well, I'm sort of sympathizing, I think, at this time with those 80 fellows who are down there in their locker rooms who have not come out on the field yet.
It's indescribable the feeling that not just a professional football player, but any athlete has before a great contest such as this.
They know that millions of people will be watching them, they'll be listening to the radio account of this game, thousands of people here in the stands.
And it's just indescribable that nervous tension that builds up. The game means so much to both of these teams.
And frankly, it's not the money. Now, there's a difference of $7,500 between the winning and losing shares today. The winning team will receive $15,000, each player on the losing team will receive $7,500.
And many people think, well, this is sufficient to make the difference right there. Certainly this does mean something to these people, but actually it's much more than that.
There's tremendous pride, as we mentioned before, it's not just two football teams.
This is the entire National Football League against the entire American Football League today, a game that people have been looking forward to for seven years.
And don't think that those baby fellows, 40 on each team, don't feel this right now in their locker rooms. They're all alone there and the tension is just tremendous.
While they're all alone there, out on the field now, the combined college bands of the University of Arizona and Grand Lake College.
And they are complimented by the Anaheim High School Communist Grill Team and what is called the Super Bowl of course, which right now is marching across the track from our right to center field.
And in the moment, of course, we will have the opening ceremonies.
As everything else concerning this Super Bowl, this NFL Championship is, there are many people here and we are concerning ourselves now with today's officials.
There are six officials from each league. There are six who are designated as today's officials, six more who are the honors.
And before we get caught up in all of the Super Bowl pregame activity, let us tell you today's officials.
The referee, number 10 Norman Schachter of the National Football League.
The umpire is George Young of the American Football League.
The linesman is Bernie Odom of the National Football League.
The back judge is Jack Reeder of the American Football League.
The bill judge is Mike Wasetsky of the National Football League.
The line judge is Al Sabato of the American Football League.
And repeat, there are six more waiting in the wings should one of those not be able to perform his duties today.
American audience played by the bands and in a few moments we will have the introductions to both Green Bay, what is the National Football League title.
And the choices today by most people around this country to win the first Super Bowl as well as the Kansas City Chiefs who many say have the psychological edge to come out and win for the American Football League.
And now on the field, the emblem of an American Eagle is born.
I have the combined bands of Arizona Grand League and the Anaheim High School.
And now let us listen to the Super Bowl chorus.
America the Beautiful.
The applause not only for the Super Bowl chorus.
At America the 4,000 pigeons have been released here in the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Some of the game conditions for today's ball game between Green Bay and Kansas City after a touchdown the teams will kick, run or pass for one extra point.
The AFL 2-4 option is not an event.
Now remember the National Football League ball will be used when the National Football League team is on offense.
The American Football League when the AFL team is on offense.
And George Rodman we want to talk about that in a moment ourselves.
And now there is a shield, number one, of the United States of America.
With the red and the white and the blue.
I'm pulling the loss on the Coliseum floor here in Los Angeles.
And what it does, we have a woman, George, what is the real difference between the AFL and the NFL ball?
Well it is claimed that the National Football League ball is slightly fatter.
And the American League ball constantly a bit harder to throw.
I doubt this very much really.
I think the quarterbacks may have a psychological handicap here.
They may feel throwing a strange ball would be a little different.
The ball would be a little narrower, a little fatter.
So they have compromised by using the American League ball when the American League is on offense.
And the Kansas City Elks on offense using the National League ball when Green Bay is on offense.
Now ladies and gentlemen before the Super Bowl, our national anthem.
The National Anthem.
We'll be set for the kickoff in just a minute.
And as we await the opening kickoff of the World Championship of Professional Football, let me ask you.
Last September did you pick the Packers and Chiefs to finish first?
Sports Illustrated picked them.
In their home football preview they said the Packers are those against whom all others imagine.
They'll win it with style and power.
About Kansas City's chances, Sports Illustrated said if the Super Bowl ever does come off,
the first team to represent the AFL will very well be the Kansas City Chiefs.
Guesses?
Probably sure.
But based on a thorough analysis of the men who play and coach football professionally,
Sports Illustrated staffs and professionals bring you clinic writing and provocative sports coverage every week.
The NFL and AFL championships, the Super Bowl preview.
And coming up, a report on the action about to unfold right here.
Pictures in fast post color.
The important details of all sports and leisure time activities.
Their excitement and color in professional hands every week in Sports Illustrated.
The bands have now made their way up the field and down to our left.
They are lining up for the head connections of the players and here they come.
Kansas City will be introduced first at center number 66, Wayne Fraser of Auburn.
At right guard, number 64 from Iowa, Kirk Merz.
At left guard, Ed Bunney, number 71 of Michigan State.
And remember, the offensive line outplays down at Green Bay.
Right tackle, number 73, DeMarvin Dave Hill.
At left tackle, the big boys, 66, 292, Jim Tyrell, number 77 from Ohio State.
At the school end, Chris Burkett of Stanford, number 88.
The All-American from Stanford.
And the tight end, for all of us, Michigan State will start number 84.
Some of the slight shoulder separation of the championship game at this time.
Number 89, a big man is from Mike Garth, the running back.
He was nice and close in the round of arctic at USC and played his games here.
Garth is from Clinton, number 32 is the fullback, the All-American from Kansas.
And the quarterback is Len Dawson of Purdue, since he told 190 pounds on his arm and thinking
and ability by the hopes of the Kansas City Chiefs.
And now the rest of the Chiefs team.
The Chiefs will repeat our question, white with red nubles.
And someone passed along a note to us that the Chiefs this year, of course, they were lost twice.
But never lost while wearing these uniforms.
The team that is heavily favored to win, the Green Bay Packers, have yet to be introduced.
They will today be wearing their green jerseys, gold pants with the white nubles.
And the first day, as they say, has been to the well before.
They will have played in either the National Footballing Championship game or Playoff Bowl
in each of the last six years, and they have won four World Championships in that time.
Vincent and Bonnie, since taking over the Packers in 1959, has done a tremendous job.
The opposite way, the Green Bay Packers, center field glory of Georgia Tech, number 50.
And right gone, and of course, Green Bay has got some great ones.
Jerry Cramer, number 64 from Idaho in his ninth year.
And that's got Craig Fuzzy Thurston from Dollar Tree, his home, number 63 in his ninth year.
Right tackle from SMU, the veteran 10-year Forest Gray, 6'4", 250.
And left tackle, Bob Skoronsky of Indiana, number 76.
The split end, number 84, Carol Dale, the DPI. And the tight end, Utah's Mara Fleming,
number 81.
The backer back from Colorado, number 86, Boyd Donald, about 49 passes this year.
Left running back, Elijah Pitts of Philander Smith, number 22.
Many people feel that.
Paul Hornig, mostly active today.
The fullback, Jim Ting, NSU, number 31.
And the close at quarterback, the most viable player in the National Football League this year
from the University of Alabama, number 15, Bart Stark.
The rest of the Packers come out on the field, and George Ralleman,
the Super Bowl about which we've been talking, is just now moments away.
Just moments away. It's interesting to note the great weather we have here in Los Angeles.
The temperature in the 70s, a nice day for a football game.
We have a report on the weather in both Green Bay and Kansas City.
It's clear in both cities, but it's 6 degrees in Green Bay and 26 degrees in Kansas City.
And I'm certain there's not a player down there on that field who isn't happy to be here
on a good dry field in Los Angeles with the temperatures in the 70s today,
rather than playing on the frozen turf someplace back east or in the northern part of the country.
This is really going to be a fine test.
They will have no excuses because of the weather.
Either team loses today.
Well, John Gillum and Jerry Mays, the co-captains of Kansas City, are on the field,
along with Willie Davis and the other offensive captain, Bob Skowalski,
a tackle from Indiana.
Green Bay has won the 12th and will receive the football of its first AFL-NFL championship.
And so the Packers, the methodical team, the team that dwells on fundamentals,
the team that everybody says, with the exception of those who support American football
leaders, of course, should win this championship, will receive the ball first
and get the first crack to test the defense of Kansas City.
The Packers breaking out to our right.
To repeat for you, the policy of the Los Angeles Sunnyskies, temperature in the 70s and one a day.
Donnie Anderson, number 44, and Herb Adderley, number 26, go back.
Anderson, the bonus boy, who came from Texas Tech, the rookie, and Herb Adderley,
the six-year veteran from Michigan State.
And Fletcher Smith, number 17, will kick off for Kansas City, the Chiefs moving from left to right,
the Packers from right to left.
And Anderson and Adderley are stepping up to about the four or five,
anticipating a shorter kick from Fletcher Smith of Kansas City.
The Super Bowl is underway, and it is a short kick from Smith.
Adderley at the six, across the ten, running to his right, across the 15,
cuts back up to the center of the field and gets to the 25-yard line,
where he is going up there in the first and 10 to Green Bay.
E.J. Holley, the right-side linebacker, number 55, made the stop,
and on to number 44, Gerald Wilson, and number 78, the left-side linebacker, Bobby Bell.
We'll set the offensive lineup for you on Green Bay as they come out of the hole.
It is Boyd Deller who comes as a flanker to the left.
Carol Dale is split to the right.
Mara Fleming, the tight end, is on the right side.
Elijah Pitts, Jim Taylor, the setbacks.
Hot Star calling signals on the first play of the game.
Jim Taylor picks up two or three yards,
made it over to his own right side before E.J. Holley came across from his right-side linebacker spot
and knocked it down at the 20-mile to gain a four in the second round and six.
Jerry May, 75, Andy Rice, 58, Buck Buchanan, 86,
Jekyllston, 85, and on the forward wall for Kansas City.
Bobby Bell, Cheryl Hendrick, and E.J. Holley, the linebackers,
will pick up the deep men in the moment.
Dollars flank left.
And off to Elijah Pitts.
He's back to the line of scrimmage, running off his own left side
and up near the 35-yard line, just shy at the first down.
Johnny Robinson came up from the defensive secondary,
and making the stop is Freddie Williams and Bobby Hunt,
Johnny Robinson and Marty Mitchell, who are the deep men for Kansas City.
Third down and one.
The Packers have picked up nine on two running plays,
testing first the left side of Kansas City and then the right side.
Carol Dale goes wide to the right.
Down low, the flanker to the left.
And on the far left, the tight end is split about three yards to the right.
It's wrong side to the left.
Star on third down one.
Dollars signals.
Hands off to his fullback, Taylor.
Taylor's got the first down before his back down by William Mitchell.
Number 22, the right counterback as he hits to the 37.
First down to the Packers.
And it's interesting to note that the Green Bay Packers
have started off the ballgame as we thought they would
with their rather conservative running offense.
Nothing fast to the end all, just straight power plays.
Off tackle to the right, then a sweep to the left,
then Taylor going off tackle again to the left.
The straight power, the traditional conservative offense of the Green Bay Packers.
Dollar has come out and Max McGee has gone in.
Carol Dale to the right and Boxer is going to try his first pass.
In the pocket, looking for his bandit is under throw and intended for Max McGee at the 47 yard line.
Johnny Robinson is back there to the fair and had more to ball than under throw, George Redmond.
Robinson and Miller had an interception.
He had ten on the year, second and ten.
Of course a good passer will do that.
He will always throw the ball first of all where it cannot be intercepted,
even if he can't complete it.
He'll make certain to keep it away from that defensive man.
And there you saw one of the reasons that Bart Starr only had three interceptions
during the entire National Football League season.
He will definitely not throw that ball any place where a defensive man has a chance at it.
Ball but a happenance to go, first goal to those score, Green Bay,
received the kickoff, now has the ball on the 37.
On second and ten, Starr got straight back.
That is one down, that's going to finish it down right by Buckley down on the right side tackle.
A long loss from the 37 back to the 26, 11 yards.
And on the first flip, drop back down the star,
Big Tellen, a four year veteran from Bradley Fellows,
got through to make the tackle.
Third down, that long yard.
And we note now that the Kansas City Chiefs have put in an extra linebacker.
They've taken out Andy Rice and put in a linebacker so they will have three,
a three man rush this time on Starr and four linebackers.
They invariably do this on an obvious passing situation.
McGee to the left, Harald Hale to the right,
Marver Fleming split as Elijah Pitts goes into the slot to the left.
Third down and 21 yards, Starr went back,
going to be hit in the spot as he hits to the 21 yard line and that is all.
Kansas City was in on it, Bobby Bell glitzing from the left side.
And Green Bay will be forced to kick the ball away.
Picked up one first down, a little reform from the long 37 back to the 22.
On Chandler coming in to do the punting,
and Mike Garrett and Emmett Thomas go deep for Kansas City.
Chandler will step back inside his own 10 yard line.
Little or no wind here today,
so the wind is down a factor on the Chandler punt.
Chandler just does get the kick away, but it is a boomer.
That is Mike Garrett at the 28 yard line, jocking.
Gets past one man, cuts to the right side across the 30s,
still on his feet and right down the bounds as he hits to the 37 yard line.
And Mike Garrett brings the ball back to the 37,
will stay in the game at Kansas City for the first time today, goes on offense.
And Dawson will be quarterback, Mike Garrett your running back,
Curtis McQuindle the fullback,
and the kill your tackle, foot hard on us as the tight end,
this foot with this good end.
Tire and heel your tackles, body and nerves your guards and crazier at center.
No score, in this the first putter with about 10 minutes left.
Kansas City sends Garrett in motion.
Dawson rolls out to the left, looks for one man on the far side,
and now he has got a lot of ball arms.
Chris Burkett, fucked up a lot of ball arms.
Burkett was split, Otis Taylor was in tight, Garrett went in motion.
And so the Kansas City Chiefs field dropout, who have the reputation for gambling early,
went to the pass on first down, a spawn fast green bay,
which ran first to the right and then to the left.
And we have an example of Kansas City's moving pocket,
as Lenny Dawson did not drop straight back, but faded back to his left,
and then set up, as we pointed out before, he will not throw on the run,
but he will set up with this moving pocket, either to the right or to the left.
That time he went to the left.
Again, they flanked back, well now he's splitting out to the right,
Otis Taylor, Burkett is flanked to the left, McClinton and Garrett at the setbacks.
Dawson, the long count.
Hands of all to Garrett, Garrett at the line of scrimmage,
and May has picked up the yard or two, and is still on his feet and gets across the footer.
A great individual effort, and that's Mike Garrett,
four yards from the 37 of the 41.
Ron Kostelnik made the tackle.
Looked as though Garrett had had it, but squeezed out.
Turned the corner and picked up four yards.
Willie Davis, Ron Kostelnik, Henry Jordan, and Lionel Aldridge,
along the four-mall for green bay.
Dave Robinson, Braden Itschke, and Leroy Cathy, your linebackers.
Her battery, Willie Wood, Tom Brown, and Bob Jeter, the deep nut.
Third down and six, as Burford again goes wide to the left.
He has been set left as a flanker each time.
High formation, but now Garrett steps over to the right, and Taylor is flanked to the right.
Third and six, looking for Burford as Dawson has him first down across the 15 green bay territory.
With a four to seven yard line, the Chiefs have a first down in green bay territory.
Bob Jeter, a viral four-year veteran, Dick Burford, he was the only man on that side,
and it was double T that Dawson got the ball to it.
And that could be an extremely important first down for Kansas City,
because of course they've been hearing that green bay has a tremendous defensive squad,
that they perhaps couldn't move the ball against them.
The very first time they get the ball down, they do make a first down.
This could build up their confidence tremendously in this ball game.
High formation, ball is handed to Garrett, and Garrett's going nowhere.
The green bay Packers defensive line rolls up and knocked him down.
It'll be second down and ten.
Henry Jordan of the University of Virginia, a ten-year veteran.
That time, oldest Taylor was flanked to the right, and Burford was setting the slot to the right.
In the second and ten, the ball on the 47 yard line of green bay,
and he's got ten and a half minutes to go, no score here in the first quarter of the Coliseum of Los Angeles.
The first AFL-NFL Championship under clear skies.
And we note that the two passes Lenny Dawson has thrown at both ends of the left,
he seems to be avoiding so far cornerback for Adderley,
who plays left cornerback for green bay and one of the best in the business.
Too much time, I believe, will be the charge against Lenny Dawson,
and will cost him five yards, and will make it second down and fifteen.
And that takes the ball back into Kansas City territory at their own 48 yard line.
Green bay took the kickoff, picked up one first down to the 37 yard line,
and then were thrown back to their own 21.
Chandler, in front of the way, to the 37 of Kansas City.
Kansas City moving to the 47 of green bay, where this five yard penalty is set to back.
Otis Taylor comes on wide right, Murford is setting the slot.
Dawson calling the signals.
Dawson rolling to the right.
Dawson throwing has a man in the court, it's more than a great catch,
but they say he's out of bounds.
Chris Murford, for the second time, made a catch, but could not keep both feet in bounds.
Dowler, we understand, Boyd Dowler, who started this game, is out with an injured shoulder.
Max McGee, you'll recall, replaced him very early.
Now, it is stored down and 15 for the Kansas City Cheeks.
Murford has shown an ability to get loose, but each time,
Dawson hugging those sidelines has forced him out of bounds with attempts.
And another thing of interest to note, all three of Lenny Dawson's passes so far have been to Chris Murford.
One complaint, the other to him complaint because he was right on the sideline.
Murford, of course, is a seven year veteran, and in a game like this,
there's a tendency to go with your experienced people early.
On third down and 15, Taylor wide to the right.
No score, and this is the first quarter, Dawson back to throw, looking for Taylor,
and he overthrows Taylor as well as Herb Annelly at the 25-yard line.
And it'll be a fork down, and now Kansas City will send in Joe Wilson,
who has a 44.5 putting average, to do the kicking.
Right back is Willie Wold and Donnie Anderson.
No score, nine minutes to go, the Green Bay Packers in green with gold trousers,
the Kansas City Chiefs in white with red boots.
Carol Wilson stepping back to the 31-yard line, and Willie Wold and Donnie Anderson
are within their 15, standing at about the 12.
Wilson, with all the time in the world, rules one, bribing Anderson back to the 5.
Coming wide to his left, that's a blind block, he's up to the 10, fast to come down the side across the 15,
and has pulled on from behind as he hits the 20-yard line by a number 52,
one of the linebackers of Kansas City, Bud Ager.
A good rookie from the University of Missouri, first and 10th of green.
And just over the 20-yard line.
Note that Chuck Hurston of the Kansas City Chiefs was injured going down under the punt truck,
of course, a defensive end for the Chiefs, and he's taken off the field on the far side.
No score, nine minutes and 10 seconds to go, Bob Starr on the Green Bay offense,
back in there is still Elijah Pitts, who has the ball now and is running wide to the right.
Freddie Williamson came up to hitting, but he bounced off Williamson, and Pitts went up to the 24,
game three, it'll be second down and seven.
Green Bay with Bob Starr, Elijah Pitts still starting his running halfback,
and Max McGee has replaced Boyd Taller, who has an injured shoulder, Carol Dale, and Mar Fleming.
Nine minutes left to go, first quarter, no score, Green Bay with the ball on second down,
and a long seven, Starr dropping straight back, throws over the center,
is the victim, Mar Fleming, he's got the first down across the 30,
down to the 34 yard line, Fleming, a fine, tied in from the University of Utah, who caught 31 passes this year,
about that one had rolled out near the 30 top, was down for the Packers, their second of them all game.
Great catch by Fleming, who was juggling the ball when he was hit,
and nevertheless managed to get it under his control.
You know, the Green Bay receivers could be fighting for something today,
because in the comparison between the two clubs, all week long it's been pointed out that Kansas City
has better receivers, and this isn't going to make the Green Bay receivers happy.
Dale, or rather Dale, is the target of the left, as Starr goes straight back in trouble,
runs out of the pocket, gets the ball away, that pitch depends on the pitchers,
across the 50, down to the 45, under the 43.
I tell you which, Mark Starr had to scramble from a massive tacklers, led by Jerry Mays,
as he stepped out of the pocket and found Elijah Pitts at the 45, and erased it down to the 43,
but the Kansas City Chiefs were Green Bay in the scoreless ball game, as the ball first in 10.
There's timeout on the field with the score, Green Bay nothing, and Kansas City nothing.
Along with George Rautemann, this is Jim Simpson from the Coliseum in Los Angeles,
in the scoreless ball game, first quarter, 7 minutes 20 seconds to go.
Aaron Brown, the rookie and number one draft choice from Minnesota, has come in as a defensive right-hand,
as Chuck Hurston is out injured, $4 with Green Bay as a quick pitch to Jim Taylor,
coming to the left, in trouble, and will be dragged out for a loss, back in Green Bay territory.
EJ Holler, the right-side linebacker, was, now he just refused to be taken out of the play.
Jerry Mays, the wall in the American Football League defensive left hand, came over to help out,
and the ball now is placed down on the 49 of Kansas City, a loss of about 5 at second and 15.
The AFL NFL Championship, this is the Super Bowl.
Being heard across these United States and the first in the world in Armed Forces radio,
we have Carol Dale wide to the right, the key to the left, Mark Starr dropping straight back, looking.
That's plenty of time.
Throw in to Carol Dale, he's got the ball at the 37-yard line, not enough for the first down.
Marty Woodibson, the left cornerback from Northwestern, made the stop there.
And again, George Bradderman, a low pass, and Carol Dale did well to die for it, and got a quick hit.
A low pass, but those would be kind that can't be intercepted, they can't be deflected up into the air,
they can't be high enough for a defensive man to come in, and actually a passer will try to throw the ball on their low sometimes,
on a pattern such as that where the receiver is coming back toward the middle of the field or toward the passer.
Third down, three, from the 37.
Dale to the right, the key to the left, Starr dropping straight back, it is easy.
It throws, hands the ball, and it's a touchdown. That right-fired defensive back, the middle of the line back, is the one to step on.
Max McEve, and his young hand with the head of the knee on it, but McEve said they ripped his way out of his glass,
but it's a 37-yard touchdown for him.
A great catch by McEve, who you might say had no business catching the ball.
Actually, it wasn't too well thrown. McGree made a great stand though, and the defensive man there,
I'm sure, thought that McGee had no chance to get it.
Onchandler will do the extra point kicking.
Ball is placed down, the kick is up, and the kick is good.
And it's time on the field for the score down, Green Bay 7, Kansas City, nothing.
Onchandler will kick it off, 6 minutes, 4 seconds to go here in the first quarter.
The Packers have scored first on the pass to McGee, who made a great catch and a fine run.
Cohn and Garrett are deep, but as Mike Garrett will take it at the 2.
Garrett goes to his left, but it's back to his right, looking for daylight,
steps you on one man across the 20, flags go down.
Over on the 27-yard line as Mike Garrett has run out of bounds at the 24.
And we'll wait to see what the flags say.
All of the officials, and remember there are six officials here today,
three from each league.
And they're in consultation now to 26-yard line.
Racing in very quickly to see what is going on is Cheryl Henrich.
And it looks as though it's going to be kipping coming up against Kansas City,
which of course will put the Chiefs deep in the hole, and that's what they're doing,
is stepping off yardage back inside the 15-yard line and placing the ball down on the 12.
We pause 10 seconds for station identification.
Eight-ten, good eye, WGY is going to be a general electric broadcasting company station.
Jim Simpson with George Wademan, first down on the 13-yard line.
Berkert goes to the left, Taylor is flipped to the right.
Dawson following signals, 7-0, Green Bay leads, Dawson rolls out, going to pass from his end zone.
Across the 10, now has one in the 15, coming out to the 20, flag down on the 21-yard line.
The scrambling of Len Dawson, apparent there, George Wademan, and Ray Mitchke came over,
made the stop at the 21, instead of being thrown near his end zone, he got out and across the 20.
Packers put a lot of pressure on Dawson that time, he went back, as he will do frequently,
faked a running play before going back to pass, faked the draw play.
The Packers, however, didn't go for the fake, went back and put a lot of pressure on Dawson,
but he showed his scrambling ability by hitting loose there, gaining about 7, 7-1-1-2 yards on his run.
In the second formation, Taylor split wide left with Burford setting the slot to the left.
Dawson on a quick little pitch to the side, and down he goes.
Race down is Waddle Aldrich making the tackle and getting up on the slot, he has Mike Garrett, the man who caught the pass.
Just a little quick pitch to his backfield man, as Dawson, of course, is trying to pick up the yardage
and may have gotten nearly enough for the post down, they're going to call for a measurement.
7-0 to Green Bay Tigers lead, we are here in the first quarter, about four and a half minutes left.
And again, Dawson faked the running play, faked one of his running backs before throwing that quick pitch out there too, Garrett.
Of course, the purpose of that faking the running play is to try to hold one of the linebackers in position
so that he cannot get caught into the flat and cover the pass receiver, in this case, Garrett.
Measurements showed that it was good for a first down, Kansas City has a first down on their own 23 yard line.
And good for the first down by perhaps a quarter of an inch.
Otis Taylor wide right, Burford goes to the left.
Ardanis, the tight end, is split about a yard or two to the left.
Quick opener, and down goes Burford, the ball goes over his head and defensive interference is being followed on the far sideline
as Burford was knocked off his feet by Bob Jeter and Tommy Brown before he even ducked the ball.
I'm sure that the penalty is being called against Jeter.
In any event, a gain of oh, just a couple of yards, but takes it up to the 29 yard line,
but of course it means it's a first down from there.
And the ball thrown by Dawson was nowhere near the receiver, way over his head out of bounds,
but Jeter was up so fast on Burford, I would rather think that Dawson purposely threw it out there.
He knew he had no chance for a completion, didn't want to have it intercepted,
just threw it over Burford's head and was fortunate that Jeter came up and interfered on the play.
There at this time is good wide right with Burford set in the sock to the right.
Curtis McClendon for the first time today gets the call to carry the ball,
it goes out across the 30 yard line and picks up perhaps four yards on the play.
Stop is made by Ronald Roberts and Willie Davis, the defensive bands, and George.
This is what a lot of people have been waiting for, to see whether or not the Kansas City Chiefs
can hold up under the pressure of an early score by Green Bay.
Well, the Chiefs were hurt not only by that score, but then when they received the kickoff,
they were penalized because they were holding on, returning the kickoff,
or really putting the hole that they've come out here, made a first down,
now picked up three yards on the first down here, so they showed they can operate under pressure.
Here it is, the loan setback, Dawson rolls to his left, looks downfield,
Davis is there, and down to the 40 yard line of Green Bay for a first down.
Lee Roy Cappie, the linebacker, forced to cover up in Ovanis, made the tackle,
but now into left Ovanis, back the pass from Dawson in the first down.
Ball is placed down now on the 49 yard line of Kansas City.
Green Bay scored on a 37 yard pass play from Bart Scott to Max McGee,
and Henrik, well, Henrik, as George Rodham and Zed Proble, they thought that McGee
never had a chance for the ball, but McGee made a great catch at about the 23
and raced it in from there.
Getter, wide right, Overford to the left, McClinton and Garrett, the setbacks.
Dawson on first down from his own 49, hands to Mike Garrett,
is it Dawson, could it be Dawson 45, and spins his way out into the 21 yard line.
Near, up first down, Tom Brown, number 40, makes his stop along with Lee Roy Cappie,
and they will measure to see whether or not it is a first down.
It is close to the first down.
Coming to the sound of the field is one of the officials, 7 to nothing, Green Bay,
on that pass to McGee, and there's time out on the field right now,
with a score of Green Bay 7, Kansas City, nothing.
Two minutes and 55 seconds to go, and this, the first quarter of the AFL Winner
Bowl Championship, the Super Bowl from the Coliseum of Los Angeles,
under sunny skies, little or no wind, and in the second down, an inches to go
for Kansas City.
Overford goes out as a flacker to the left, high formation now,
Garrett steps over to the right.
Other ends are in tight.
Dawson on second down of inches is back to pass, with lots of time now in trouble,
looking, gets past one man, has his own first down across the 40 yard line,
and is driven back across the 41.
Dawson looking for a running room, did get enough for the first down.
The way of niche speed, the middle linebacker came up very quickly,
and threw him back across the 40.
Ball will be spotted at the 39.
First down for Kansas City, the Chiefs credit 7-0 to Green Bay.
Another example of Lenny Dawson not throwing the ball when nobody is open downfield.
He tried to cross Green Bay up, had a second in one situation,
faked the running play into the line, acted as if they were going for the first down,
then stepped back to throw, saw that Berthold was not open downfield,
and you will not see Lenny Dawson or Bart Starr, for that matter,
turn the ball loose unless the receiver is open.
Taylor wide right, Berthold set in the slot, and Mike Gern with the ball,
and down he goes, press it down by big number 89.
The next side on backer, Dave Robinson of Penn State,
and Mike actually lost the yard in the play, back to the 40 yard line,
it will be second down and 11.
There have been two injuries that we have noted so far.
Boyd Dallar hit his shoulder and went out early, and Max McGee replaced him.
It was McGee that cut the touchdown pads.
And Chuck Hurston went out for Kansas City, and Aaron Brown has replaced him as a defensive right end.
Brown, the number one draft choice from the University of Minnesota.
Now, Brokert goes to the left side, Otis Taylor trots over here to the right on second down, 11.
Garrett goes in motion to the left.
Dawson rolling out to the left, looking to throw, it's one of them all.
Right over the head of Otis Taylor, who is being defended against by Willie Wood, number 24, from USC.
Ball falling dead out of bounds, it's about the seven yard line,
and again Dawson throwing extra long, preventing an interception.
It is third and 11.
Now, running out on this, the first quarter, a little bit more than a minute to go.
Seven to nothing, Green Bay leading.
Willie Wood had position on Taylor, defending against Taylor that time.
The ball was thrown deep down the field.
Dawson trying to hit Taylor deep, but Wood had position on him and wouldn't let Taylor get deep.
And of course, he doesn't have to get out of his way.
He just maintained his position so that Taylor couldn't get deep to where the ball was going to come down.
For a good wide left, Reg Carolyn has now replaced Wood on bonus, and he has split left also.
Taylor split to the right, and Dawson is dropping straight back and looking and has his man, Carolyn,
across the 35, down to the 33 yard line.
Down and up for the first down, but Reg Carolyn made the catch, and Wayne Nitsky of Illinois,
the middle linebacker, made the stop.
And every up a fourth down, Gerald Wilson is coming in, Mike Mercer is coming in,
and Mike Mercer is, of course, the field goal kicker.
He is in on 32, or rather 33-33 conversion attempts, 20 of 26 field goals, and has scored 93 points.
This will be a 40 yard field goal attempt, as the Chiefs try to get on the board for the first time.
Mike Mercer is ready.
Dawson spots the ball. The kick is up.
It is long, and it is off to the left side, and the Chiefs have failed to score.
Green Bay takes over on the 20th, still leading 7-0, with a little bit more than a minute,
about a minute and 5 seconds to go here in the first quarter.
Mercer had enough distance on the ball.
It had been said early in the season that Mercer could not kick long,
but he's kicked some long field goals this year for Kansas City.
Kick that one far enough, it went about 5 yards deep into the end zone, but was off to the left.
Well, there he goes out wide to the right, Bard Starr, now dropping back.
As the official is talking to them, we were glad to have in the pregame show Bob Hope.
And of course, we'd like to remind you again of Bob Hope's Desert Golf Classic,
which will be on NBC Radio February the 4th and 5th.
The clip reports, Chuck Hurston has now gone back in, so apparently Hurston,
a two-year veteran from Auburn, was not seriously hurt.
6'6", 230.
And George and I have pointed out before that Kansas City, the underdog in this ballgame,
has conceded the advantage in weight offensively and defensively,
and has conceded the advantage in speed.
But they are trailing to the Panthers by the score of 7-0.
And we have an unusual situation here where one of these ball clubs has called a timeout in the first quarter.
Kansas City called one a few moments ago, and I'm not certain who called this one,
but this is quite unusual because most ball clubs will try to save their timeouts
until the end of the half that they're in.
34 seconds to go on this quarter, Carroll Dale is wide to the right.
On first down, Jim Taylor is giving the job of cracking over the right side of his own line,
and he picks up 2 or 3 yards, perhaps.
And Ryan Rice is at the bottom of the pile from Texas 7, along with Buck Buchanan.
Left tackle and right tackle respectively.
Clark is running. They may or may not get another play away in this quarter.
At halftime, George Vandermen will be talking to Lance Olwell,
the fine piker from the San Diego Chargers,
and the good quarterback, Don Meredith-Adonis, who very nearly beat these Green Bay Packers in the NFL Championship game.
Five running out, but out of the huddle comes Green Bay.
Star on second down and 7 starting back at the ball, but the gun's up, and the first quarter is over.
That's the end of the first quarter.
The score, Green Bay 7 and Kansas City, not in.
Second down and 7 from the 23-yard line of Green Bay,
the Packers leading on the touchdown pass to Max McGee with a little bit more than 6 minutes to go on the first quarter.
Carro Dale goes out wide left, split to the right.
Here's Max McGee, the touchdown maker, with Elijah Pitts still in there along with Jim Taylor.
Potsdard walks straight back and looks and overthrows McGee at the sidelines at the 29.
Fred Woodinson over to the bed at the 29.
So that'll be 37.
Now this is the day that many have been waiting for.
As a matter of fact, in the pregame Valley, who of this the Super Bowl,
many business magazines even check with networks about the amount of promotion being done,
not only by the networks, but by the ball clubs themselves and the national and the American football leagues.
Such has been the buildup to this game.
Carro Dale goes wide to the left. McGee again to the right.
Star dropping back on third down, 7.
Flag is down. Across the middle, juggling up in the air, no good.
And Jennifer Carro Dale at the 45-yard line, and riding him down was Willie Mitchell of Tennessee State,
a third-year veteran, but a flag went down on the play.
The back talking to back star, but now they're signaling for a Kansas City man to jump in and talk with him.
So obviously the penalty is going to be against the Packers.
Cheryl Henrich is talking it over with the referee.
The referee today is of the National Football League, Norman Schachter.
A legal procedure charged against the Packers is to be refused
because they're going to make it fourth down and setting, and the Packers' Don Chandler is coming to kick it away.
Emmett Thomas and Mike Garrett are stepping back to their own 30-yard line.
In punt formation, Green Bay leading early in the second quarter, 7 to nothing to score.
Under sunny skies in Los Angeles, Chandler, standing at his own 10-yard line, gets the boot away from the 14.
A long spiral, Emmett Thomas takes it at the 33.
Scouts backwards, now comes back up field across the 30, and is finally wrestled down at the 34-yard line
by Steve Wright, a third-year veteran from the University of Alabama.
And Kansas City will get its hands on the ball again, trailing by the score of 7-0.
Packers cover quite well going down under these punts.
It's quite impressive to see them come down and take their positions across the field,
boxing in the receiver so that he has no place to go.
Kansas City tried to return that one the first time Kansas, or the first time Green Bay punted.
Kansas City tried to block it. This time they did not try to block the punt.
They tried to get back and block for the man catching the punt.
Aldous Taylor, plank quad right. Burford split about five yards to the left.
Len Dawson on first down from the 33, rolling to the right, being pursued.
And now goes back across field of Mike Gadd at the 35, gets away from two men.
Aldous Taylor, across the 45, near midfield, down to the 49-yard line in the first round goes Mike Gadd.
With a twisting of 21, he must have stepped away from five or six men.
The commander of the best shot at him was the linebacker Dave Robinson.
But there at Kristydell, of his arms and really would,
finally had to make the stop at the 49 of the Packers. And that made the USC partisans draw their belts in.
Because Mike is a former great player there.
Typical Garrett round, and Garrett got up and just walked off the field, which does not mean he's injured,
just a little bush. After that round, you heard just tell the players,
anytime your bush come out of the ballgame, we'll put somebody in for you, at least for one play.
Taylor, plank to the right. Burford, split to the left.
Ball is handed off to Garrett again, and Garrett gets down to the 45-yard line.
Check that. It is Burke Cohn who's come in for Mike Garrett, and Cohn, after Garrett's fine run,
cracks across his own left side and down to the 45.
Ball is placed back down near the 46, so we'll call it a game of only three, a long three at that.
It'll be second down, seventh.
Burke Cohn of Kansas, was an All-American at Kansas, was injured in spring practice.
And for years, many have predicted that he would be a great star in the American Football League.
At the beginning of this year, he started out as though he would be, but he became injured.
Both Burford and Taylor are on the left side, with Taylor split left, and Burford set in the slot.
Straight ahead goes McClendon on a crop play, down to the 40, down to the 39-yard line, and near her first down.
And we can't help but recall the National Football League Championship game,
where Don Clarkins of Dallas was working the crop play well against these same packers.
Third down, a little bit more than a yard, and now Green Bay sends in Bob Brown on defense,
and out comes Ron Kostelnik, so Brown will step into a tackle spot,
operating with Jordan Aldrich and Davis along the board wall.
Third down and about a yard.
Dawson has him out of the huddle, hands off to Cone. Cone has got the first down, down to the 37-yard line.
Burt Cone of the University of Kansas, operating in the same backfield, with Curtis McClendon, another former All-American at Kansas.
And with Burt Cone in for Mike Garrett, for Kansas City, they have a lot of size in the running backs.
Burt Cone stands 6 feet 4, weighs 220. Curtis McClendon, the fullback, stands 6 feet 3 and weighs 227.
So two big, rangy running backs in there at the present time for Kansas City.
About 12 minutes to go in the second quarter, the first half, Green Bay leading 7-0,
but Kansas City has the ball. Dawson back to pass with plenty of time.
Luke's one yard for Taylor, who's killing it. He's going to the yard line, he's right down there.
Oh, Taylor was deep in the back of his man and actually had to show up for the pass.
It's Tom Brown covering it. First down and goal to go at the 7.
And again, Lenny Dawson helped to free his receiver, as he does quite frequently by faking the running play before throwing the ball to Taylor.
Taylor was wide open and Lenny was careful, didn't lead him too much, threw the ball out there perfectly.
And Lenny Dawson helped ever so much on that play, as he does quite frequently on his pass plays,
by faking the running play first to his running backs, drawing in the Green Bay secondary, and then hitting his receiver downfield.
And now Kansas City with a chance comes out on the I-formation to tie this ballgame. They would like to do it.
Throwing shifts to the right, Tony McClinton to setbacks, Dawson calling signals on first down, keeps to the ball,
rolls out to the right, he's going to man, Troy Putschbein!
Putschbein! And it is 7-6 Green Bay. And he not only had a man clear, he had two men clear down in the end zone.
Chris Burkert and McClinton were standing down there side by side as, once again, as we described on the last play, Lenny Dawson made the good play,
faked the running play, ended the line, and then stepped back, found two receivers side by side down in the end zone.
Mike Mercer, who tried a 40-yard field goal and missed, but is 33 for 33 in the conversion department,
comes in and tries to tie up this Super Bowl game, which has been super so far.
Ball is placed down, the kick is in the air, and the kick is broke, tie ballgame!
It's time out on the field, it is 4 Green Bay 7, Kansas City 7.
This is Jim Simpson, along with George Rattaman from the Coliseum in Los Angeles.
7-7 ballgame this Super Bowl, 10 minutes 41 seconds to go in the first half.
Fletcher Smith will kick it off. Donnie Anderson and Herb Adelie are deep, both are dangerous.
Smith really puts his foot into this one.
And this is Anderson across the 15 coming straight up the middle, and as thin as he gets to the 25 and rolls to the 27-yard line.
Bobby Pry, a Baylor 5-year veteran, made the tackle, along with Gerald Wilson.
Ball is placed down on the 27 of the Packers, who have bound themselves high.
And what prestige is in this ballgame?
The pride of the National Football League is carried on the shoulders of the Green Bay Packers,
and the pride of the Younger American Football League, with the Kansas City Chiefs leading the way.
Carol Dale goes wide to the left.
McGee has split about 5 yards to the right.
Elijah Pitts and Jim Taylor's cleaners up back.
Ball honing has not been seen yet.
This is Elijah Pitts, goes across his own left side, and is dragged down as he gets across the 30, out near the 32-yard line.
A pick-up of about 5. Buck Buchanan made the tackle there.
It is Mays, Weiss, Buchanan, and Hurston for Kansas City along the forward wall, Bobby Bell, Cheryl Hibbert,
Zuzia Hollett, the linebackers, Cardi Whittinson, Bobby Hunt, Johnny Robinson, and Willie Mitchell, the deep men.
Second down and 5 after the 5-yard gain, and again, it is Carol Dale to the left,
and McGee split about 5 yards to the right.
Fleming, the tight end, is on the left side.
Strong side right, Jim Taylor, rolling along the line of scrimmage,
and he picks up a yard or two on individual effort and near the first down,
but he was hit almost as he hit the line of scrimmage by Terry Mays.
And again, you'll notice Green Bay coming back to their basic power offenses.
Any good football team will do. When they've been hurt, when they've been scored on,
they will come back to the things that they do best, and this is the best of the Green Bay offense,
the straight power plays, the off-tackle power plays, the power plays around end.
Nothing fancy at all.
Third down and 1, Green Bay scored first on a 37-yard pass play from Starr to McGee.
Kansas City came back moments ago on a 7-yard pass play from Dawson to McQuinty.
7-7 to score, third down 1.
Starr gambling has hit, now Dale, 4-4, and he will go all the way and score on third down 1.
Fox Starr caught the Kansas City secondary thinking of something else.
And there's a flag down, up at midfield, and the Packers are walking slowly back upfield.
And ignoring the flag, which looks all displayed back, and we'll take the touchdown away from Green Bay,
we can say nothing except that was a marvelous call by Bart Starr, because as I have been saying,
as everybody here has been thinking and realizes, Green Bay is a basic power ball club.
As we mentioned, they go to their basic power attack.
So on third and 1, Bart Starr crossed the ball up by faking the running play
and hitting his receiver all the way down field.
Unfortunately for Bart, the pass from Mark Fleming has been called back
because an infraction against Green Bay was detected on that play, a 15-yard penalty.
Check that Georgia was a 5-yard penalty for illegal motion.
It was a 5-yard touchdown and nearly 6 yards.
And I'm sure that the Kansas City secondary is talking to itself what a break they had to have the ball called back.
So now on the important third down 6, Starr drops back to flow again, goes over the middle, and has his man.
It is Max McGee, and McGee has the first down out across the board with a 21.
Tom Robinson made the stop there, so the Packers, who have had that long touchdown play called back,
came right back and picked up the important first down with their own 42.
Harold Dale has come back in, and Max McGee has gone out.
It was Dale who made the sprint for what he thought was a touchdown, only to have it called back.
Dale goes out wide to the left, and Bob Long is now in as Kansas City is going to call a tie-off.
After what has happened, George Ratham and I are assuming that Kansas City's defense and Cheryl Henry,
even now, is walking to the far sidelines along with Bobby Ply, and they're going to talk things over with Hank Stratham.
But while they do, we say there's tie-off on the field with the score of 3-37 and Kansas City 7.
Ball is on the 42-yard line, first and 10 for the Packers in the 7-7 ball game.
We're midway through the second quarter.
Starr goes back to throw, looks downfield, his receiver comes back up and cannot hold onto it.
Covered very closely by Woody Mitchell.
It was Carroll Dale, to whom the ball was intended.
And Woody Mitchell at Tennessee State was right there.
Starr, as he has done several times, kept the ball low and kept the possibility or probability of an interception to nearly nil.
As George Ratham pointed out, Starr has only had three passes in an interception all year long.
7-7, and I want to tell you, Los Angeles, if nothing else, turned on one of the greatest days for football.
In mid-January, you could see perfect playing conditions, perhaps a little warm for the players, but for the spectators, just great.
Dale is to the left and Bob Long is to the right.
Starr going straight back.
The ball goes down. He has Elijah Pitts covered by a linebacker, E.J. Hollis.
The Stars pass was off the mark.
And I think a screen pass was called that time by Bart Starr.
I think Green Bay was trying to throw a screen pass out here to the right.
Kansas City diagnosed the play very well, and he had nobody to whom throw the ball,
so he looked for one of these decoys that was going downfield and perhaps just threw it away purposely.
But I believe the play called was a screen pass to the right,
and I think he was very well that he could not complain if because Kansas City had diagnosed the play.
Third down 10 on the Packers own 42-yard line.
They send Dale to the left and Bob Long comes to the right.
7-7 the score.
Here in the second quarter, Dale almost jumped offside, goes back, Starr drops back.
The throw goes across, has his man Dale in the clear at the 43-yard line, and that's the be-all for the first down.
Knocked down there by Bobby Hunt and Johnny Robinson, but Carol Dale made the catch,
and it's a first down on the Packers in the 7-7 ball game, come roaring right back.
This is the Super Bowl, and of course a lot of people are saying which is the better league,
but I'm sure that you'll agree it comes down to which is the better team on the field today.
Long is split wide to the right.
Ball is handed to Jim Taylor, running not only to his left,
but as he turns the ball about, Willie Mitchell who simply dove at his feet.
Mitchell is 6'1", 185, Jim Taylor is 6'2", 215,
but the way and the power with which Jim Taylor runs both legend are.
Mark Starr has been putting a lot of pressure on Willie Mitchell,
the defensive right cornerback of Kansas City.
He's thrown quite a few passes out there to receivers who have gone down about 5 or 8 yards
and turned in toward the middle of the field.
Now he sends Taylor on a running player on that end,
so they're putting a lot of pressure on Willie Mitchell, the right cornerback of Kansas City.
Boyd Deller, we understand, is out for the game, and this is third down, 6.
Pitts picks up a couple of yards, make it second down, 6.
It'll be third down with about 4.
Now, we'll repeat, Boyd Deller is out for the game.
Apparently, he suffered quite an injury and will be out for the ballgame,
and the good flanker back who've made 29 catches this year will not see any further action.
While there's time out on the field, with the score, Green Bay 7 and Kansas City 7.
Along with George Broderman, this is Jim Simpson back at the Coliseum in Los Angeles.
It is third down and 5 from the 38-yard line of Kansas City-Green Bay in possession
with Carrol Dale to the right side and Bob Long split left.
Star calling signals, drop straight back on third down.
Looks across the center and a great catch by Mara Fleming.
Inside the 30-yard line and that'll be enough for the post-down.
Fleming was smothered by Cheryl Hedrick and Johnny Robinson,
but jumped up between them and made the catch.
And the packer, George Broderman, are on the move again.
And the packer receivers thus far in this ballgame have shown great ability
in catching balls that weren't necessarily thrown right in the pocket,
right where they should be, but they've been reaching behind and in front of them,
juggling the balls, but continuously coming up with the balls and all the difficult catches.
Max McGee has come back in, Dale to the right,
handoff and straight ahead goes Jim Taylor,
but Gary Mays does not allow him to get more than a yard or two as he gets down near the 25-yard line.
Mays, two-time All-League in the American Football League, played the ball at SMU
six years in the league, 6-4, 252.
Kansas City, Sloan getting up, 77 to score.
I'm running out here in a first half.
Five minutes and 41 seconds to go in this half.
Dale is to the right and McGee to the left, both split.
Second down, star hands off to Elijah Pitts, who gets another yard or two and that's all.
Off to Cadden, the right tackle and George, perhaps the defense of Kansas City has surprised a lot of people thus far.
I think particularly their defense against the Green Bay running attack.
They have looked very good against Green Bay's running,
but Green Bay has been able to come back in these third down situations and pick up the first down by throwing the football.
Of course, Bart Starr is famous for that. He's regarded as just about the best third down thrower in football
and as we mentioned before, they've been picking a lot on Willie Mitchell, the defensive right cornerback of Kansas City,
so let's see if they do it again here.
And this is another third down situation as you said. McGee is to the left, Dallas to the right, star throws to Pitts,
and Pitts goes out of bounds. He made the catch for the first down inside the 15-14 yard line.
And this happened before when the ball was over thrown.
E.J. Harrop, the linebacker, had the assignment of covering Elijah Pitts.
He will find the outside linebackers of Kansas City, Hollabam Bell, especially Bell, very fast,
but the pack remains if the Packers have marched right back down field.
They had a touchdown call back when on third and one in their own territory,
Bart Starr, a man until about two weeks ago, everyone said would not gamble, gambled down Carroll Dale,
and he went all the way to score, but it was called back, illegal procedure.
Taylor's Thomas flipped to the right from the 14. Jim Taylor starts around the left side,
sets back inside the 10-5, slow down!
On 14 yards out, and Taylor was hit by Hurston at the line of scrimmage, but simply broke the tackle.
And a great example of this Green Bay power offense is four green jerseys went around the left end
at that time, one of them belonging to Jim Taylor, who had the football,
with three blockers right there with him, three blockers right in front of him,
and any time you can turn the corner, get around the end with three blockers in front of you,
you're going to go a long way, and of course, Jim Taylor doesn't need any instructions on how to get
into the goal line under situations such as that.
On channel in, and the ball was held by Starr, the pick is good, and Green Bay goes out in front,
and on the 13 yards in 14 plays.
A reminder, as we've got about four and a half minutes to go, and this is the first half,
that our halftime guests will be Lance Aulworth, a fine flagger, the San Diego Chargers,
many times in all league selection, as well as Don Meredith, who took Dallas to the Eastern Division title
in the National Football League, and with it a whisker, George Radaman, of having won the National Football League championship.
That was one of the great games.
Don Meredith and his Cowboys certainly looked great against Green Bay two weeks ago.
A reminder also that NBC Radio, here today for the Super Bowl, the AFL-NFL Championship,
will journey down the coast a little bit of England to Palm Desert, California,
to the Bob Hope Desert Classic, on NBC Radio February the 4th and 5th.
Channer will kick off 14 to 7 to score, four and a half minutes to go in the first half.
Green Bay scored first on a 37-yard touchdown pass to McGee from Starr in the second quarter.
Lenny Dawson took his team down the field, much of it on the running of Mike Garrett.
Finally, he hit Curtis McClendon for a score from 7 yards out to top 7-7.
And now on, Jim Taylor's run, 14-yard run that kept the 73-yard drive, the Packers have gone right back in front.
Channer is ready to kick off.
It is Cohn and Garrett, or Deep, Garrett at the 10, across the 15.
Balancing off his own men, using his hands to try to set up his blocks,
and as highly knocked down as he hits out to the 26-yard line.
Dave Hathcock, the Memphis State, a rookie defensive back, made the tackle there.
High formation shifting now, with Taylor and Albanus split right, Burford split to the left,
and now Garrett is in the...
Well, here comes Dawson, rolling out to the left, and he is in trouble.
Can't get the ball away, knocked down, it's like a 15-yard line.
Back there was Henry Gordon leading the way, but also the defensive right-hand line on Aldridge,
the right side of the Green Bay line simply fell through.
Now, still it got there before it was all over.
And also the play from the 26 back to the 18-yard line.
Second down and about 18 to go.
14 to 7, the Packers have led and are leading, or tied and are leading again.
Packers heavily favored have not made substitutions other than the fact that
because of the injury to Board Dyer, they were running in many different receivers.
High formation, Taylor goes wide to the right.
This time, again, they shift with McClinton and Garrett coming out of the eye.
Burford is to the left, dropping straight back is Dawson.
That's the ball, goal, has it, receivers a 30-yard line.
Still on his feet and I believe Alvarez has been hitting the shoulder.
It was free to pop the ball at the 30, but as he was hit and hit hard by Nitski,
you can almost see him buckle and he is now walking off the field.
He has had an injured shoulder.
He had his shoulder separated in the American Football Championship game up in Buffalo two weeks ago.
It was somewhat of a doubtful starter for this game, and apparently the shoulder has not healed up.
Fully, because he undoubtedly re-injured the same shoulder on that play.
That's a terrible feeling, too, to be injured in the middle of a play,
not to be knocked down, to know that you have re-separated your shoulder
and somebody is going to have to come hit you again.
A pick up of 12 at his third down and six with the ball on the 35 of Kansas City,
14-7 Green Bay leading, closing minutes of the first half.
Dawson drops back on third down and hands his man Taylor.
Taylor has got the first down across the 40, up to the 42-yard line.
And Otis Taylor was a fine second-year flanker, 6-2, 2-11 from Corey Dew,
is showing many people what a good flanker he really is.
He's coming to his home this year, first down at the 41.
Otis has all the requisites of a great flanker back,
and he has good news, but tremendous speed, catches the ball well,
and catches it in a crowd.
He doesn't hesitate to go up to the ball when there are a couple of defenders around him,
and on top of that, likes to block, likes to come back on these end runs
and help in the blocking.
Two minutes and 20 seconds to go.
Dawson takes the handoff.
Back, looking, has Taylor again.
Taylor to the 40-yard line.
The flag is down, and let's see what it is.
They could be charged against Green Bay anyway,
and so I'm sure they will take the play.
Defensive interference into the ball, and Taylor has again moved Kansas City downfield.
Make that push, Goldford.
I beg your pardon.
Number 88, not number 89.
Down brown, made the tackle.
Goldford, then, George was actually held up at the 40-yard line, prepared to catch at the 35
and back down to the 32.
He's another good competitor, as we said about Taylor a moment ago.
Goldford is also the kind of guy that can catch the ball in the crowd.
He's not afraid to go up for it.
There's a lot of defenders all around him.
Taylor wide right, Goldford wide to the left, on first down from a 32.
Garrett has the handoff and is down to about the 30, and look out, Mike.
In the 75-9, Nitski led the charge of green-shirted tackers that swarmed all over him
after a game of perhaps two yards.
Now, time becomes very important.
A two-minute signal is being given on the field, two minutes and a half,
and Kansas City trying to get on the board one more time as the ball at the 30.
Fourteen to seven, the tackers lead in this, the American Football League
National Football League Championship.
They're just keeping their ball.
And at this moment, many of the bands that will be performing here at halftime
are walking down the track that surrounds the Los Angeles Coliseum football field
and will be entertaining at halftime.
And I'll remind you again that Lansin-O'Wilkins and Al Merton
will be with your crowd of them here in the group.
Kansas City now over to out, sending Taylor to the right.
They've got the ball on the 31-yard line.
They're throwing four to the seven in the final two minutes.
Norford to the left.
Dawson calling signals.
McClinton and Garrett in the backfield.
And on the line, quickly picked up,
Curtis McClinton picked up his own fumble as Henry Jordan hit it,
but actually McClinton fumbled before he got it.
A loss on the play of perhaps a yard.
Second down and 11.
And I believe that is the first fumble in the ballgame, is it not,
which is somewhat unusual for a ballgame with all of this importance attached to it,
all of the tension that the ball players are bound to suffer.
It's a bit surprising there have not been more fumbles thus far.
A minute and 35.
Dawson rocks back a little foot past to Mike Garrett.
He's stepping around to 20.
Gets through Bockels and inside to 25 yard line now, Jordan.
Down to the 23.
And near the first down.
And he's going to the essence and checking.
And the city has a couple of turnouts left.
And therefore can stop the clock if they wish.
Mike Moser is coming in.
And on point down and the yard, they're going to stop the clock and go for the three.
Rather than trying to go against that tough Green Bay defense
and he's failing at any point at all.
He's beat Dawson promptly walked over to the referee and called for a timeout.
I don't know where Lenny is going to go over and discuss this with Sam as head coach
to decide whether they should go for the field goal.
Perhaps Lenny has some other ideas here.
Now it appears that Lenny is staying out in the middle of the field.
I thought for a moment perhaps that he would go over and try to argue the point with Sam
and say they should go for the first down.
But apparently not because Moser is staying in the ballgame.
So undoubtedly they will try for the field goal here.
They have 55 seconds to go on this, the first out.
Green Bay out in front.
And of course the clock is about a touchdown called back.
But Mike Moser attempted a 40-yard field goal attempt a little while ago,
which was far enough but just slightly off to the left.
So each team has had scoring opportunities other than what's shown on the scoreboard that is 14 to 7.
Now a short-sleeved crowd here in Los Angeles, California.
And I hope that wherever you are the weather is good.
And if not, I hope you're enjoying this broadcast.
For those of you in your cars of course remember the game is important but so is your driving.
Keep your mind on what you're doing.
The ball will be spotted by Dawson at the 31-yard line.
Mike versus 9 yards closer to what he was before.
Little or no angle.
Ball is snapped, hooked down, Moser kicks and this one is good.
Another 31-yard field goal.
Kansas City crossed within four points.
Green Bay is hot and hot now by the score of 14 to 10.
And George Wademan, they should judge which is the better team or as many try to do, which is the better league.
I doubt that they could do it on the basis of this first half performance.
It's been a close ball game.
I think Kansas City showed signs of some nervousness in the early stages of the ball game.
A bit more perhaps than Green Bay who seemed quite calm throughout.
Possibly this will help Kansas City in the second half now that they have overcome their nervousness.
But certainly it has been an even ball game.
Kansas City is showing a lot of offense here today.
Of course they're known for their diversified attack.
Green Bay has stuck to the bread and butter type of offensive game for which they're known.
I think it's a question whether Kansas City can score enough on Green Bay to match the points that Green Bay is going to put on the scoreboard.
Having the stronger defensive team I think on Green Bay, perhaps Kansas City would have the stronger offensive team so far.
Let's expect we'll kick off to Donnie Anderson and Bob Adderley and this is a short kick. He's going to hit the 22 picked up now by Adderley.
And Adderley gets out to near the 25 yard line.
He's not down there. About 50 seconds to go on the first half.
Now the first 50 seconds to the likes of any good professional football team is plenty of time.
Smokey Snowber made the stop about Adderley at halftime. A reminder again, Lance Alwood from the San Diego Chargers, Don Merritt from the Dallas Cowboys will be discussing this football game.
I'm sure George that Lance will be saying a lot of good things about the American football league and Don Merritt will be saying a lot of good things about the national football league.
You mentioned before I don't think we've resolved much in this first half so far. I'm sure we haven't.
Pitts and Taylor still to setbacks. Paul Horning is not made in appearance in this ballgame.
This is Elijah Pitts coming to the right side and he gets a good block and comes out near the 30 yard line.
Bill Curry leading the way. Bobby Bell the left side linebacker came up to make the stop and Chuck Buchanan the left with the right tackle.
The ball is across the 30, placed down on the 33, the second down on three. Brock continues to run showing nine seconds to go in this first half.
And the Packers are now showing any tendency to hustle out of that huddle and get up to the line of scrimmage.
The Chiefs have already started to walk off the field and there is the goal.
That's the end of the first half and the score Green Bay 14 Kansas City 10.
Half time here at the Los Angeles Coliseum in this 14 to 10 ballgame and the Green Bay Packers out in front of them.
The Bands come out on the field and in a few moments we'll have our first guest.
And now let us recap what happened in the first quarter with six minutes and four seconds to go.
A 37 yard pass play from Bart Starr to Max McGee with McGee making the fine catch.
Ripping out of the grass, well, Cheryl Hedrick and going all the way to score.
In the second quarter with 10 minutes and 41 seconds to go.
With all this Taylor setting things up for the fine reception and Mike Yerkes good running, taking him down to the seven.
Chris McClinton found himself loose in the right part of the end zone and down there, Lenny Dawson hitting for the seven yard touchdown pass to make it 7-7.
And then Bart Starr after a pass to Carol Dale was called back on third down and short yardage.
Garrett is team on the 73 yard pass, catch by a 14 yard run by Jim J. with four minutes and 35 seconds to go to make it 14 to 7.
And then in the closing moments, Chris Burford also made a great catch and pulled the Chiefs to within field goal range.
The Green Bay Tigers and Mike Burser, unsuccessful in his first attempt, kicked the 31 yarder.
That's how it ended 14 to 10. Now for halftime, let's go to George Roderick.
Thank you, Jim. And seated on my right is one of the great quarterbacks in professional football these days, Don Meredith of the Dallas Cowboys.
We certainly had his greatest year this year, didn't you, Don?
Well, I think so, George. By far it was the best year of the Dallas Cowboys.
His fall off was a reflection of the quarterback's ability or his success or at least whatever training I received and what his team does.
We had a very good team effort in Dallas this year and I'm very happy to be a part of it.
Don, you came so, so close to tying up that ball game against Green Bay two weeks ago down in Dallas.
I read a statement by your coach, Tom Landry, that had you been able to score, get into the end zone and tie that ball game up,
you had the momentum going for you and you very possibly would have had an advantage going into an overtime.
How do you feel about that?
Well, it's very easy for us to say this. You can't imagine how I feel watching this ball game today because we felt like we had an excellent opportunity to beat Green Bay and we didn't do it.
We respect Green Bay and we think they're a very fun football team.
And I came in Dallas, we did have some momentum. Our offense I don't think ever looked as good as it did against Green Bay.
We executed probably as well as we possibly can and we thought that we could have gotten into an overtime and we could have won.
However, I must say this, I think it could have been decided on the flip of the coin in which ball club we'd receive.
I think this is the way that a sudden death would be decided and I think if we could have gotten the ball, I'm pretty sure we could have scored.
That's right. It was a great offensive display so probably whoever got the ball first in the overtime would have had a tremendous advantage in that football game.
Don, I have heard so much, personally, I've been broadcasting American Football League games and haven't had much opportunity in recent years to watch the NFL games,
but I've heard so much about the fine offensive blocking at the Green Bay line and yet in the early stages of this game, Kansas City was getting through the Bart Starr a few times.
Is that happening frequently in the NFL or did that surprise you the best?
I was surprised to see that too. I am more or less like you only on the other side of the fence.
And reading statistics, I understand that Kansas City's current one actually hasn't been trapped in the pass for this year.
I'm not mistaken, I believe they trapped them like 29 times whereas...
Two and two.
Well, not really because Green Bay's brought four and they very seldom blitz.
I think they ranked third in the National Football League with something like 49 traps and this is a real plus for a team to have.
So I was surprised to see this. I'm very impressed with Kansas City's entire ball club, both offensively and defensively.
I've been trying to figure out their defense from the spectators' standpoint today and they use what we call an ownership.
The lead part of this drawing side, we call it a round and a frisco. Are you talking about the defense of the ball?
I'm talking about the defensive line. It's an odd man line, basically an odd man line.
And Green Bay has been very drawn at handling this all year and I was very surprised to see the success that they did now.
They're very far in the ball game.
I'm hoping for a moment at the Kansas City offense. I think Lennie Dalton has done a fine job in his play action as is in the first half.
The touchdown they scored, I think he had Green Bay completely grappled because, as you know, you never want to have two receivers standing together.
But he actually had the Redmond Rovers standing together down the end zone to have thrown the ball to either one.
Is he about the best you've seen as far as faking before going back to pass?
Very good job, Lennie. I've been very impressed with his play calling, actually.
I think he has actually, more or less, varied his offense enough that he's kept Green Bay off.
When I look at Kansas City's offense, it does remind me somewhat of ours because we do a shift around like this in different formations.
And I can almost hear Nisky calling out the different formations, but only in our terminology when these guys do shifts.
I think it does create a burden on him, and I think Lennie has done a very fine job with his play calling and his ball.
I think he's been excellent and he's been on target most of all day.
Thank you, Don. I'm glad to be back with you. We'll be back with Rick Lantz and Don in just a minute.
You're listening to the NBC Radio's coverage of the first AFL-NFL championship game.
This is George Roderman with Jim Sunstein at the Super Bowl in Los Angeles, Coliseum.
We're at halftime. The score is the Green Bay Packers 14 to Kansas City Chiefs 10.
Our halftime guests are Lance Alworth, the fine flanker back of the San Diego Chargers,
and Don Meridick, the great quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
Lance, let me ask you a question here. What has been said about teams having an advantage going into a game mentally.
Who do you think have the psychological advantage going into this game?
Undoubtedly, Green Bay was the favorite. They know that they're a good Kansas City Browns.
They didn't know quite what to expect, but they had been topped down for a number of years.
Who do you think have the psychological advantage going in?
Well, actually, I think I would have to say, because Green Bay, when they went into the ballgame,
they were playing a lot of big ballgames, and they're the big teams, so they can go in.
They're not too nervous, but I tell you, just sitting in the stands up here, I was really nervous.
Because I was worried about how they were going to do, I felt like Kansas City is a great football team,
but you never know. Kansas City, I feel like for the first quarter,
they really didn't know what to expect. They were really high on the post-match end of the ballgame,
because we're trying to freeze them. Come on, I think they're doing a fine job,
and it's going to be a big game. I think it's amazing that there was only one cumber in the first half,
considering the tightness that Mr. Brooks on the game saw, sorry for throwing the ball, we didn't touch it.
Well, and I'll tell you, that was forced by a real good quality of the ball.
He was hit before he got the ball, I see, and he was hit the ball tucked away.
Now, Meredith, let me ask you this. Your mental attitude changed much from game to game.
Now, can you feel a lot more pressure? For instance, two weeks ago, when you went into the championship game against Green Bay,
did you feel mentally a lot more pressure before that game than before they went into their season, do you?
I think the most pressure we had at Dallas was making the game against Cleveland.
We had to win this ballgame in Dallas to still out the Eastern Division.
And gaining Dallas for seven years, we'd never won. So our first objective was to win the East.
And it was a big, built-up game, and there was a tremendous sellout there in Dallas,
and Dallas is really calling fire. And I think there's a lot of pressure and a lot of enthusiasm.
It's creates pressure, more so in the play-standing game than in the championship game, because we played game there before,
and we felt like we had the time well thought that could be very effective against them.
We were all ready to play if we played in the championship game.
Don, let me ask you, Green Bay has had a reputation for years, and you've played against them for quite a few years now,
but they've had a reputation having a great defensive ball front.
What's the biggest problem that you have as a quarterback, calling a play-standing offense against Green Bay?
What are their strong points, what are their weak points, still coming?
Well, they have very few weak points, but I think our biggest problem is this, that Green Bay will not change.
They're going to be basically the same day, week in and week out.
It's more or less saying, all right, this is where we're going to be against this formation there.
If you can beat us, come home, because we're going to be right here.
And they're well coordinated, they execute almost without fraud.
The second half is about to begin. This is Jim Simpson with George Raderman.
And George, one-half of it does not a football game make, but the statistics,
despite the Packers 14-10 lead, are somewhat surprising.
A bit surprising in that the Chiefs show a slight edge in most of the different categories of these statistics.
In first downs, the Kansas City Chiefs have 11, the Green Bay Packers 9.
Total yards gained, the Chiefs again are a bit ahead of the Packers,
181 yards for the Chiefs, 164 for the Packers, breaking that down into rushing and passing.
The Packers have a bit of an edge in the rushing yardage, 51 to 37.
However, the Kansas City Chiefs are ahead in passing yardage, 144 yards for the Chiefs,
113 for the Packers, so the statistics aren't too far apart,
but the Chiefs do have perhaps a slight edge.
And the number of passes thrown and completed, the Packers,
Bart Starr has completed 8 out of 13 passes,
Lenny Dawson for the Kansas City Chiefs has completed 11 out of 15.
So both quarterbacks, both teams have shown an ability to complete passes against the other,
and this could well be the tale of the second half here.
Who is going to score the most points because it is not a defensive battle?
Don Chandler kicks off, Gene Wilson comes up, watches it bounce at the 12,
but the flag has gone down and a whistle has sounded, again back upfield.
And they will kick it again.
The ball did not go out of bounds.
The Packers are coming back upfield, 14 to 10 to score.
The Packers lead one half left of this Super Bowl.
Don Chandler will tee the ball up again at the 40-yard line.
George, it comes under the question of your guess is as good as mine.
It was the one happened on the last play, a very odd play.
Green Bay kicked off, a lot of the Kansas City people didn't move,
just stood there pointing at something, and I don't know what they were pointing at.
This was a very high and very short kick.
Bert Cohn comes up to the 13th, straight upfield across the 20,
now going to his right side and is knocked down very quickly as he hits to the right side
by number 27, red back, a flanked back, former Notre Dame All-American.
Now they change the footballs again, as we have told you before,
the American football team using its own football on offense,
and the same with the Packers, its football while on defense.
They are slightly different.
The Packers have a slightly counterball, as George said.
The back of the cover comes up wide left, Otis Taylor goes to the right in an high formation.
Now shifting out of it, Garrett and McClinton are the setbacks.
The Packers have a lot of men butched along the forward wall.
Dawson rolled into his right nice running,
rolled across the 30, across the 35, and sticks on the downs as he hits to the 43-yard line.
The Packer defense collapsed downfield, and George, only Otis Taylor was downfield,
and there were four Packer defensive men back there,
who were turned around running full speed with Otis Taylor.
Of course they realize he is a long thread, he has great speed,
but as you say, the defensive secondary of the Packers, almost all of them,
were turned around running back downfield with Otis Taylor,
so when Lenny Dawson started to run there, they didn't even know it for a while
until he had gained some 5 or 10 yards.
Austin's end on the 44 Kansas City, they trail 14 to 10,
opening moments of the second half of the Super Bowl.
Taylor is to the left, Burford flanked to the left.
Dawson calling signals, again a six-man line, and McClennan goes straight ahead
and gets from his own 43 down to about the 48 yard line.
A quick up the five over Ron Castellna.
The left tackle from 690, number 77, makes the tackle the second and five.
A reminder, there were several injuries early in the game.
Boyd Dowler, the blanketback, was injured in the first quarter
with Green Bay on the left, and we understand he's out for the game.
Chuck Hurston, defensive right end, while Kansas City was injured, but he has come back.
Taylor goes wide to the right.
Now Arbanus is back in. He re-injured his shoulder, but is back in.
Garrett is set in the slot to the right, but it is straight ahead.
That is Garrett straight ahead. It was McClennan in the slot back, I'm sorry.
And Ron Larkin made the tackle just a couple yards out to midfield,
and they are still about four yards from first out, Taylor.
Got a kick out of Arbanus' remark after he was injured in the championship game
up in Buffalo two weeks ago. He had a separated shoulder,
and when asked whether he would play in the Super Bowl, he said to show his determination,
he said, I'll play even if Lamar Hunt, who is the owner of Kansas City,
even if Lamar Hunt has to buy me a new shoulder.
I don't know how much shoulders cost these days.
Dabber to the right, broker to the left, big play for Kansas City and Green Bay,
third down and a long four.
Dawson being rushed on goal.
And down the sidelines comes Willie Wood.
Only one man can get in at the down and drags him down with the four yard line, a big break.
Mike Carrot finally came from behind to get Willie Wood at the four yard line.
And at the defensive prowess of Green Bay, never more evident there,
Dawson was pressured, grew out to the left and hung the ball up at Woodcutt in front of the receiver
and carried the ball from midfield down to the goal.
And one of the few times when we will see either one of these quarterbacks,
Lenny Dawson or Bart Starr, do that, that is,
for the ball when they're under pressure when the receiver is not definitely open,
something a quarterback shouldn't do.
Lenny made a mistake and I'm sure he knows it.
The officials forgot to change the football.
Green Bay is back on offense and so now the national football ball comes in play.
The ball warning is not yet made in appearance.
The larger pits and Jim Taylor, the setbacks with Dana wide to the left, that is,
a touchdown on the first play going off his own left side.
And Green Bay races on in front by the score of 20 to 10.
That's their biggest leading margin.
Cheryl Henrich was taken off by one of those good offensive guards of Green Bay,
Buzzy Thurston, who led the way.
The Packers have exploded here, taking the offense of the Kansas City Chiefs
to turn it into a touchdown for the Green Bay Packers.
Don Chandler is in to try the extra point.
Fires holding and the kick is good.
Next time on the field is the score now, Green Bay 21, Kansas City 10.
Twelve minutes and 33 seconds to go in the third quarter.
Green Bay now leading 21 to 10.
Gene Wilson and Burt Cohn are deep and Don Chandler will kick off for the Packers.
All is in the air.
Cohn in the end zone.
He'll bring it out across the field, straight upfield, the 10, the 15,
a lot of speed, puts his head down and goes out near the 30 yard line.
And Cohn very nearly broke through everyone.
The 10 momentum carried into the turf at the 30 yard line as he ducked
and went under the arms of the Green Bay Tacklers.
And now George Rodman, the question becomes, can Kansas City come back?
Well, the pressure is on them right now.
They were down by four points at halftime, received the second half kickoff,
appeared to be marching down the field so that they would have a good chance
to go ahead in this ballgame.
And all of a sudden, Lenny Dawson did something that he very, very rarely does
but he's hung a pass out there and had it intercepted.
First down, Taylor Wright.
Dawson moving, looking for Taylor and under throws him at the 39 yard line.
Burt Cohn is in and replacement for Mike Garrett as the others set back
along with Curtis McClinton.
It'll be second and 10.
And of course, Lenny Dawson hung his last pass up there.
It was disastrous as Willie Wood intercepted and carried to the four and Fitz scored.
This time, Len under threw the ball.
Ball is right at the 30 yard line, second down 10, 21 to 10, Packers lead third quarter.
Now, this Taylor again goes wide right, Fisberger comes to the left,
our formation, McClinton the full back and now Cohn jumps to the left.
Dawson dropping straight back, looking.
Taylor at the 40 yard line and he's brought down in a hurry.
Dawson recovers his own fumble at the 41 yard line and I want to tell you that
Herb Adley, the left cornerback of Michigan State, and Otis Taylor
right around the net, closed line.
Taylor fumbled but very quickly bounced on the ball.
It's a first down at the 42 yard line, a gain of 12 on the play.
And Otis Taylor has shown that he is quite a flier in either lead.
And a couple of great catches today and shows fine speed.
Taylor, about us to repeat, is in.
And as he views so many times, Otis Taylor comes out to the left split,
but Burford is flanked to the left.
Taylor hands straight out ahead to Cohn as McClinton,
who gets out near the 45 yard line before Lionel Aldridge makes the tackle.
Jim Tyra, the left tackle leading the way, Tyra a secure better from Ohio State,
and a 2.92. That is put down on the 45 yard line.
It will be a second down and 6 a gain of 4 from McClinton.
And those here in the Los Angeles Coliseum, and I'm sure wherever you're listening,
are watching and waiting to see if the Kansas City Chiefs can maintain their poise.
They trail by 11. Burford to the left, Taylor flanked to the right.
The Chiefs try to come back after that interception by Wood.
Dawson takes the handoff and throws out, has his man, and down he goes at the 50 yard line.
Willie Wood made the stop.
And getting up is Burt Cohn. He's in replacement, as we said, for Mike Garrett,
and he takes the ball to the 50 yard line. Cohn is big himself, 6'4, 220.
And that's a helpful thing for a passer who's throwing to a receiver to have a man who stands that tall 6'4,
he just makes that bigger a target to throw to.
Both sides are showing remarkable ability to hang on to the football,
to catch the balls they're juggling even after they're hit.
Cohn was juggling that ball when he was hit, but managed to hold on to it.
Third down 1, Cohn is flying his feet with his score.
Trying to come to his left side on third and short garbage.
The Chiefs try to go wide, and Burt Cohn could not turn the corner,
coming up with Bob Jeter along with the linebackers, Ray Nitsky and Leroy Caffey.
And that means it's fourth down. Instead of a first down, the Chiefs are forced into a punting situation.
Darrell Wilson is coming on.
Willie Wood and Donnie Anderson go deep for the Green Bay Packers.
21 to 10, Green Bay leads third quarter.
About 9 1⁄2 minutes to go. Wilson is standing on his own 30 yard line.
The score at halftime was 14-10, Green Bay, but the Packers quickly added another on the interception of Ward
and a four yard run by Pitts. Wilson gets a high kick away,
bounds down at the 20 and hops back toward Kansas City territory,
near the 25 yard line. It is down there. It will be first and 10 for the Packers.
All is down by Al Reynolds, an offensive guard.
Packers offensive unit comes back on the field, and for the moment the Packers have things their own way.
They've got the football, they've got the lead. Third quarter.
The crowd here rather quiet at the moment, and it is a large crowd at the Coliseum.
Carol Dale comes out wide to the right. Ward Deller, to repeat, is not playing.
And again, Pitts and Taylor are the setbacks.
This is Elijah Pitts coming across his own right side and gets out across the 35 yard line,
still on his feet, to the 37.
Tony Williamson came over to make this tackle as Pitts broke a couple of tackles himself.
Donnie Robinson also helped out.
And now, Cheryl Hedrick, the middle linebacker of Kansas City,
limps off, holding his right ankle.
And Smokey Silver of northeast Louisiana, 6 feet tall, 227,
coming up the all-important middle linebacker spot.
It's a first down at the 37.
Star dropping straight back.
Looking half-time, and now smothered under the 29 yard line.
Mark Star took one pump, and then when he raised his arm back again, the pocket closed, and down he went.
E.J. Hollid, glitzing on the play, along with the right tackle, Buck Buchanan made the tackle.
Second down, and 17.
And as Don Meredith, the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, mentioned that,
half-time, it's a bit surprising, particularly to national football league fans who have watched the Packers front a bit
and know they have great blockers.
It's a bit surprising to see this tremendous pressure that the Kansas City defensive linemen
have been able to put on Bart Star this afternoon.
Max McGee goes out to the left.
Ward Dower comes to the right.
Star Fleming, the tight end, is split about five yards on the right side.
Pitts runs out and jumps in the slot to the left.
Taylor, the lone setback, star dropping straight back on second down, long yardage.
Looking for his man, and out of bounds he goes.
He's got him.
William Mitchell.
And Max McGee out of bounds after McGee made the tackle.
Not enough for the first down.
Inside the 45, we'll bring up a big third down and a long two yards.
As George Benjamin put, they have been operating on Willie Mitchell, the right cornerback, this afternoon,
a third-year veteran from Tennessee State.
Now time is gone on the field in this 21-10 ballgame.
Carol Hedrick has come back in.
The game over has gone out. There's time out on the field with a score, Green Bay 21, Kansas City 10.
Back of the Coliseum in Los Angeles, the Packers have the ball on their own 44-yard line.
It is third down and two.
And this is Jim Simpson with George Radaman.
In this 21-10 ballgame, the Packers are leading.
The Chiefs, of course, hoping to stop them on this particular play in order to have them be forced to kick it away.
Carol Dale comes wide to the right.
McGee is on the left side.
Star calling signals. Star hands to Taylor.
Taylor hit from behind and gets to the 45 and dives ahead and may or may not have gotten that first down.
It will be close.
And about the 46-yard line, and Cheryl Hedrick, the man who was injured with the right ankle,
came back in and is the man who made the tackle there.
It's interesting to note the respect both of these quarterbacks have for the defensive Lions against whom they're playing
because both of them now, having third down in short-yardage situations, have elected to go wide.
Dawson did not make it a moment ago with Kansas City.
They were stopped short of the first down, and it would appear that Green Bay has been stopped short of the first down.
Here, both of them elected to go wide instead of going straight ahead into the defensive line trying to pick up the first down.
And rather than the possibility, of course, George, of giving a big field position,
Vinson and Bobby Sands are just kicking at it.
Don Chadler and Thomas Gozdieck.
Mike Garrett with a single action as a running back here in the second half is back in and is deep.
Chadler will kick for Rajon 37.
No driving.
Kick.
Garrett at the 19-20 day light.
And he has hit down by Leroy Caffey as he crosses the 25- to 27-yard line.
It'll be first and 10 there for the Kansas City Chiefs training in the ballgame.
It'll cost 10 seconds for station identification.
WGY Schenectady, a General Electric Broadcasting Company station.
Seven minutes and five seconds to go in the third quarter.
Packers leading 21-10.
Money Dawson rolling out to his left, looking downfield, throwing downfield, and Oliver throws his man, Chris Burford, at the 42-yard line.
Dawson actually had time and Burford was a couple of steps in front of the defender, Bob Jeter, but the ball was overthrown.
Jim, it's interesting to note sometimes how teams will change their tactics in the second half of a football game.
On the first half today, Green Bay did not blitz at all, as they did not send their linebackers in.
Shoot to gap as they say, in against the passer, when he was passing, but already here in the second half, three times now,
they had blitzed their linebackers and sent them in.
So a definite change in tactics by the Green Bay Packers defensively here in the second half.
Second down, 10.
Garrett jumps in the slot to the right.
It is Burford on the left, Otis Taylor on the right.
Dawson takes the handoff and the linebackers are blitzing again.
This time from the right side, Leroy Caffey, down at the 15-yard line, and is a flag back at the 23.
They are calling back apparently the Green Bay defensive captain, and so it could be against the Chiefs.
21 to 10, Green Bay leading official, Norm Shacklet comes over and says Holden is charged against Kansas City.
It has been refused, as the ball is taken back inside the 15 and placed down on the 14-yard line.
Shacklet down on the wall and yard, which makes that third down, which is the last to down, third down and 23.
And here is a tough call for Lenny Dawson, third down and 23 trailing by 10 points in the ballgame.
He has to go for the first down, has to try to do something here.
Green Bay can afford to gamble there ahead.
They have Kansas City backed up, a real tough play to call.
Burford and Taylor both to left.
Dawson rolls to the left in a pocket, off down at the 3-0-5.
A tremendous pressure by the Green Bay Packers.
And by Henry Jordan and Lenny Davis and Ron Kostelnik, the three of them were there.
And now, the punting of Jero Wilson will get the Chiefs partially out of the hole,
but will certainly give the Green Bay Packers wonderful field position,
because Wilson will be nearly at the end of his own end zone when he kicks the ball.
The line of scrimmage is the 27th. The ball is on the 2.
Notice fourth down and 35.
And Wilson almost has his back foot out of that end zone.
Woody Wood and Donnie Anderson are deep.
Kick. It is taken by Donnie Anderson.
Anderson's flags go down as he's hit. More flags go down as he's hit at the 41-yard line.
Anderson was hit by Aaron Brown, the number one draft choice from Minnesota, along with E.J. Halle.
A couple of flags down.
And apparently, as the Packers fade back downfield of their own 35,
this will be against the Packers.
And George Rederman, this is a good break for the Kansas City Chiefs, who trail by the score of 21-10.
A break and again, something that you rarely see, a clipping penalty against the Green Bay Packers.
And they're returning a punt. They're very careful about such things.
And Vince Lombardi, their coach, has told them if there's ever any doubt whether you're in front of the man or behind him or to the side,
don't throw the block because if there's anything we don't want, it's one of those 15-yard penalties.
But one of the Packers has been caught here in clipping, so they've been penalized 15 yards back to their 44-yard line.
From their 44, first and 10, 6 minutes, 18 seconds to go, third quarter.
Lodge of Beech goes up to the left.
And it's knocked down, I'm telling you, that time, the Green Bay defensive guards pulling were simply shoved aside.
And the Kansas City defense led by Chuck Hursting and Andy Rice came in a knocking down for loss from the 44 back to the 42, second and 12.
And a surprising play actually, Jim, because as you mentioned, it looked as if Elijah Foote's had a lot of interference out in front of him,
a couple of guards in front of him, and all of a sudden they disappeared or weren't effective and Pitts went down.
Very surprising.
Carowdale comes wide to the right.
Fleming is split to the right.
McGee is on the left side.
Pitts hit her again with setbacks.
Clark's guard wrapping straight back to Tom across the center.
And has backs McGee.
Up in Kansas City territory, not the first down, but very close to it, the 48-yard line.
Don Robinson made the stop and now he came up to another big third down play.
The last time Kansas City was able to hold the Green Bay, Green Bay punted.
Kansas City lost 25 yards in the series of downs and outkipped them its own end zone.
Five minutes, 10 seconds to go, third quarter, 21 to 10, the Packers lead.
14 and a half, Tom, Williwood's interception broke things open a little bit as the second half began.
Carowdale to the right, McGee to the left.
Jim Taylor has got the first down across the 45 going off his own left side of the line.
Chuck Hurston made the tackle as Bob Skoronsky and Fred Thurston opened up some running room for him and the ball is put down on the 43.
Thurston 10 for the Packers and they're on the move again.
And this the first Super Bowl, the AFL NFL Championship of the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Shallows beginning to creep in from the left side of the Coliseum now.
Lots of time left as McGee goes to the left on first down.
Dale comes to the right.
Box star dropping way back, looking, falling and the receiver falls down.
Carowdale fell down at the 27-yard line and Freddie Williamson backed off of Dale as though he had a hot poker in his hands.
He didn't want any defensive interference play going there. There wasn't one.
Williamson has actually given Dale a good jolt, but it was before the ball was in the air.
And of course, Freddie wanted to get away from him in a hurry, having knocked him down so he would not be called for pass interference.
But of course, you can bump these receivers coming downfield as long as the ball is not yet in the air.
And that was the situation there. Williamson belting Dale when it appeared that Dale might be going by him,
knocking him down, but this was before the ball was in the air, so no pass interference was called.
Max McGee this time runs out to the right and Carowdale drops off to the left.
It is second down, 10 from the 43.
Star dropping straight back again. He has Taylor a little swing there at the 45-44.
And it once breaks the tackle and is back down again on the 44.
That's the case of Bobby Bell coming up to help out Jerry Mays. Mays was the first man to make contact.
And then Bobby Bell, the left-side linebacker, came up.
And the ball is put down now back on the 44-yard line.
And so it's a loss on the play. It's third down, 11.
Three minutes, 25 seconds to go in the third quarter.
And there's timeout on the field with the score Green Bay, 21, Kansas City, 10.
Green Bay has the ball on the 44-yard line of the Kansas City Chiefs.
It is third down and 11. Big down for the practice as well as the Chiefs, as the Chiefs trail by 11 points, 21, 10.
And as the shadows begin to come over the Coliseum, they have turned the lights on here.
They're not needed at the present time. It possibly will be later on in the fourth quarter.
But they've already turned the lights on here in the Coliseum.
On third and 11, Carol Davis, right to the left.
Willie Mitchell is the man on him.
Dark star dropping straight back, looking as his man, Max McGee, in between three people at the 33-yard line.
They all converse on the tackle, but McGee made the catch and it's a first down at the 28.
Bobby Bell, Freddie Williamson, Baldi, along with Bobby Hunt.
The defenders, the three of them, seemed to lay off McGee until he had the ball and then they closed the vice, but it was too late.
Lloyd Darrow went up in the game early, has not been back, will not be back, and McGee has been called on for yawm and duty.
There is Jim Taylor, right inside his line, and Taylor, as has been bound up today, isn't going anywhere.
Now Buck Buchanan throws him down.
Taylor says nothing.
The official pisses off Buck Buchanan.
No penalty is called as yet, and none will be.
The defensive line of the Kansas City Chiefs has been tremendous today, as has the defensive line of the Green Bay Conference.
The ball that they wanted to be won would be bound for the Kansas City Chiefs has been in the defensive second down.
Here, of course, the big mistake of Willie Dawson when he hung the pass up and Willie wasn't intercepted.
Second down and eight on the 26th.
Terrell Dale to the left, Max McGee to the right.
Scar with the same two setbacks.
Gives it to Taylor, Taylor stuttering at the line, down and goes.
Terrell Henrich made the tackle after crossing the 25 and down with the 21 yard line.
Chuck Larson also went on the tackle.
I would imagine Joe Droniman that Jim Taylor went back to the honeywack of that last little altercation with Buchanan and said, give me the ball again.
I don't know whether it was even necessary for him to say that.
Bart Starr might have just realized on his own that Jim Taylor is very angry now, and this is a good time to go follow the football and see what he'll do with it.
Third down three. They are in perfect position for the field goal.
So let's see what Scar does on third down and three.
The flanker is Dale as Taylor goes wide to the left.
Taylor gets a good block, clutches two tackles and has the first down across the 15.
And there again as he's shown on his 14 yard touchdown run, the individual effort of Jim Taylor brought off that first down.
Bobby Bell made the stop but the ball is placed down on the 13.
The Packers leading by 11 now threatening to break it wide open here in the third quarter.
With a little bit less than two minutes to go.
Out of the huddle with McGee to the left.
Dale to the right.
First down from the 13.
Starr fakes the handoff. Looks as Starr pulls in the end zone. Good kick by Mike McGee.
Up one hand and it's a touchdown for the Green Bay Packers.
And again the pass off of the playoff with Bart Starr first faking the running play to one of his running backs then stepping back and hitting McGee in the end zone.
Two fine fakers these quarterbacks are not only great passers but both of these quarterbacks can handle the ball very well.
They'll help their pass offense by faking the running plays frequently before going back to pass.
Well Max McGee who played so well in the National Football Championship game coming on late has done so again.
Chandler's in and kicked the extra point.
And all Green Bay is far out in front with less than a minute to go in the third quarter.
And that explosive Kansas City offense will now have to come to the fore if the Chiefs are to get back into this ball game.
Another reminder about further NBC radio sports coverage.
And that is the Bob Hope Desert Classic coming up on NBC Radio February the 4th and 5th.
At the same time they will remind you that for all the sports coverage every weekend tune in to NBC's monitor.
In the first quarter of this ball game Max McGee who just got that touchdown pass caught a 37 yarder from Bob Star.
And the Packers went in front 7-0.
The Chiefs tied it on a 7 yard pass from Dawson to McClendon in the second quarter.
And then Jim Taylor broke 14 yards for a score to make it 14-7 Green Bay.
At the end of the half just 58 seconds to go Mike Mercer kicked a 31 yard field goal and it ended 14-10.
But then Willie Woods interception returned to the fore in the third quarter as the second half began.
Pits scoring on the first play from 4 yards out made it 21-10.
You just heard this march by the Packers capped by a 13 yard pass to Max McGee to make it 28-10.
Now Don Chandler will kick off again.
Dean Wilson and Burt Cohen are deep.
Cohen watches it hit at the 12, takes it at the 2.
Comes back up the left side to the 10, the 15 and down he goes.
As he gets across the 15 knocked him out the 17.
Knocked down there by Duggar and Jim Weatherack.
Now Len Dawson running in will have to put the Chiefs on the scoreboard.
The American Football League trying to prove to the National Football League and its fans that it has quite a football team and has quite a league.
And the National Football League Green Bay Packers trying to prove that they are the better league.
They'll emerge in a couple of years anyway.
Taylor is to the right.
First down from the 18.
And off and straight ahead goes the goal by Curtis McCliff.
Emory Jordan made the tackle and perhaps there's a yard gain on the play.
It'll be second down and none.
And the pressure continues to mount now on Lenny Dawson who is calling the signals on offense for the Kansas City Chiefs
because he is definitely in a position now where he has to play catch-up football.
This means he has to eliminate the more conservative part of his offense I might say.
And Green Bay knows this so he is handicapped a bit at this point.
Well George that's the end of the third point.
The score now Green Bay 28 Kansas City 10.
18 points separate the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
They've had the ball. Second down nine.
The ball on their own 19 yard line.
Make that the 18 yard line.
As Ole' Taylor hustles out to the right.
Chris Bruegger goes to the left.
McClinton and Garrett DeSette backs.
Carolyn the tight end is also split to the right.
Dawson dropping straight back and up field and it's almost intercepted.
The receiver is Curtis McCliff and it was almost intercepted by Uli Wood.
If Uli had got that one he would have set up or perhaps even scored a second touchdown.
Famous story of Uli Wood of USC.
He wrote to the Packers and asked for a trial.
Vince Mombardi said I'd like to take a look at you.
He's now in his seventh year and one of the great safeties of the national football league.
So as I should always answer your mail.
Third and nine for the Chiefs and they've got to pull off this first down and get the ball up again.
Dawson rolling to the right.
Looking, making it fast.
Now pulling and it is almost intercepted again at the 30 yard line.
Intended there for Chris Burford but defending was her boundary.
It was incomplete and fourth down and the Chiefs will have to kick them all the way again.
And Lundy Dawson who had a good first half percentage wise is having his troubles here in the second half.
And a very smart defensive play by Herb Adderley then who was not drawn up by Lundy Dawson's fake of a run.
When he was chased around held the ball up his hook to pass and started out like he was going to run.
But Adderley stayed right with his man.
Wouldn't come up on Dawson so he was there to knock the ball down after it was thrown.
Jarrel Wilson is standing on his own too.
Uli Wood and Donnie Anderson are deep.
Low driving kick.
Anderson fades back to his 42.
Runs to his left. Gets to the 45 and runs into a couple of people led by Bobby Plough.
Number 14 who made the tackle.
Might it be a first down for the Green Bay Packers who continue to control the ball.
Controlling the game of the park 28 to 10.
But in the fourth quarter ball is placed down right on the 46 yard line in Green Bay.
The lack of height on Jarrel Wilson's punches could surprise him.
Most all pro or college teams will try to get their kicker to kick the ball high in the air.
So if the men going down under the punt have time to get down and defend.
Jarrel Wilson has really been booming out some line drives.
Packers now hoping to exert pressure.
Send Carrow Dale to the right.
Star hands off to Jim Taylor.
Makes a fine move at the line of scrimmage and as a result picks up about four yards off to midfield before Buck Buchanan rushes him down.
He's starting to come to the outside so that blocked and moving off his left foot put back inside and picked up four yards to the 50.
It'll be second down and six.
21 to 10 to score. Green Bay leading 14 minutes to go in the ball again.
14 to 10 was the halftime score.
Carrow Dale crowding out again to the right. Max McGee who has scored on two touchdown passes of 13 and 37 yards is to the left.
Paul Horning has not played.
Star faking the handoff going deep to Max McGee.
It's going to be Mitchell and Mitchell makes the interception inside the 15 yard line.
The Kansas City Chiefs take over.
They've been operating on Willie Mitchell all afternoon.
First on McGee had a step on Mitchell but the ball was underclawed and Willie made the interception.
Fine play by Mitchell. The ball is on the 11 yard line of Kansas City.
Now with nearly 15 minutes of football left the Kansas City Chiefs top back on the field.
28 to 10 the Packers lead and this the first Super Bowl.
On the right comes Otis Taylor.
Perfect goes to the left.
And this National Football League town Los Angeles is yelling for the Chiefs to go.
Dawson back to pass. Lots of time.
Luke Swan has hit.
He's not going to tell you what a catch.
That's close to the clear to Matt Otis Taylor but it's still a great catch.
He was on his tiptoes and lunged forward at the 35 and fell to the 38.
It's plays like that that can excite and inspire a team.
Just a great individual effort but you can also see on that particular play the great pass defensive work done by the Green Bay defensive unit as a whole
because Lundy Dawson must have looked at three other receivers before he finally threw to McClinton and none of them were open.
Taylor on a quick pitch to Taylor.
Tried to step around his man and cannot get away and finally falls forward.
Out across the 40 to the 43 yard line.
Pick up of the 5 on the play.
Dawson simply straightened up and threw to Taylor.
National Football League fans have seen that work many times to Bobby Mitchell.
Simply try to get the ball out there one on one.
And hope that Mitchell will step around the defender.
Here they're hoping that Taylor can step around her battered.
Apparently he got him on a fake going down he went.
Second down and long 5 as Dallas to the right.
Burford to the left.
Dawson looking to Burford has him at the 50.
Down to the 48 yard line.
Chris Burford.
That's enough for the first down of the Chiefs.
Brandon 28 to 10 come back.
Bob Jeter made the stop at the 46.
Dawson now going to his short pass as a first Green Bay with his big lead.
Will tend to lay back a bit.
Figuring we'll give them the short one.
We just don't want to be hurt with the long bomb as they say.
Dawson realizing this is trying to pick Green Bay apart at this point by just concentrating on hitting those short ones in front of the Green Bay defenders who are laying back a bit farther.
Taylor to the right.
Dawson rolling to the right looking for Taylor.
He's trying to beat his man.
He's in back and already but can't quite reach it in the end zone.
A legal procedure or motion is charged against Kansas City.
The flag is down and I believe it was Otis Taylor who started off sides and then came back on.
And so that would cost them five yards if the Packers choose to take it.
Otis Taylor we notice is instead of going back to the huddle just walking over running over now toward the Kansas City bench.
Frequently when a pass was ever has gone down the field that far he had run about 60 yards on that play he will just automatically take himself out of the ballgame for a play allowing a freshman to come back in.
Frank Pitts has gone in after the lower run by Otis Taylor.
And will replace him as flanker.
Pitts is second to a man from Southern College.
Comes from the town of Georgia.
62190 live speed.
The legal procedure charge against Kansas City has been accepted and the moves the ball back to the 49 at Kansas City where his first down in 15.
11 minutes 26 seconds to go.
28 to 10 the score.
Pitts comes wide right.
Dawson dropping straight back under pressure.
And down with him is Willie Davis.
Falling him down on the other side of the 40 yard line at the 38.
The finest scrimmage remember was the 49 at Kansas City.
A loss of 11.
Well tack that on to the 15 that they need and it'll be a second down on 26.
The Packers leading 28 to 10 and this the Super Bowl.
That was as we said began to creep across the Coliseum floor here in Los Angeles but the temperatures been in the 70s.
A beautiful day to play a football game.
Thomas Taylor back in comes wide to the right.
Berkford goes to the left.
Rolling to the right is Dawson looking for Taylor and it is knocked down at the last minute by her batter lead.
A fine defensive play getting one hand in front of Taylor and knocking the ball down and out of bounds.
It would not have been enough for the first down.
The ball was at the 46.
They've got to go to the 36 remember for the first down.
Third down and 26 yards.
I need Dawson trying to throw a down and out pattern to Taylor about 15 yards down field and if anything that's the difference between these two bowl clips so far
because Bart Starr has been able to hit those down and out patterns or down and in patterns 10-15 yards down field with relative ease all afternoon.
Whereas Dawson has not been able to not because of his lack of ability but because of the fine Green Bay defense.
A little swing pass just knocked down at the last minute by Bob Brown.
They had sent Mike Garrett just over the line of scrimmage.
Dawson went back and tried to loop it to him.
Vaughn got one hand on it and knocked it down at the line of scrimmage.
As the Chiefs tried to get Garrett with a little running room hoping to pick up the 26 yards that they need.
They did not get spoke down from their own 39 yard line.
Packers leading by the score of 28 to 10.
Jarrah Wilson is back.
Willie Wood and Donnie Anderson go deep standing inside their own 25 to take Wilson's punt which is in the air.
This one is high. Beautiful.
Anderson lets it hit on the three and it goes into the end zone first and 10 for the Packers at the 20 yard line.
The Packers with the ball and with the 28 to 10 lead.
Kansas City's defensive unit comes on the field and Green Bay's offensive unit and Elijah Pitts again goes out.
And we make note of the fact because it was a great deal said that perhaps Paul Horning would play.
He has not played yet.
There's time on the field with the score.
Green Bay 28 Kansas City 10.
At the Coliseum in Los Angeles this is Jim Simpson along with George Radaman.
Of course once this game is over we'll be going to the victors dressing room and as of this moment it looks as though George Radaman
you'll have to head to the Packers dressing room because Green Bay leads at the moment by the score of 28 to 10.
Ten minutes 45 seconds to go.
The Packers with the ball on their own 20 first and 10.
Hart Starr still in calling signals dropping straight back.
As time looks for his receivers as Carol Dale at the 44 yard line and he has the ball and steps out of bounds there.
Russell out of bounds by Willie Mitchell.
But that time more than he has had in many of his past plays, Hart Starr had all day as they say in a rocking chair from which to throw.
And we note that just like two weeks ago down in Dallas when he was ahead in the fourth quarter ahead of the Dallas Cowboys by a couple of touchdowns,
Hart Starr is not inclined to play conservative football and try to run out the clock.
He wants to keep his team moving, wants to keep scoring.
Carol Dale goes wide right.
Max McGee with two touchdowns to his credit is split left.
First down from the 44, Starr straight back looking to throw and McGee is all by himself.
Starr is calming his back and Russell is in down at the 17 yard line.
The hole is taken away by Freddie Williamson but the officials say no sir, McGee has it and it's a first down for the Packers at the 17.
Talk about ride on Cowboy, the ball is now good back on the 18.
Willie Mitchell climbed McGee's back and rode in about 10 yards before he finally went down but the Packers leading 28 to 10 have come right back.
Ten minutes, five seconds to go.
Fourth quarter, the National Football League's Packers representatives playing extremely well.
Executed and leading, Starr calling signals. Hands off to Taylor who goes free to him but not for much.
Bobby Bell who has played a good ball game today at his left side corner spot made the tackle along with Jerry Mays the All League left end.
Little or no game, perhaps a half yard, we'll call it still second down and about 10.
28 to 10 the score, Max McGee has caught two touchdown passes, Elijah Pitts has run for one of four yards, Jim Taylor has run for one of 14 yards and McLuhan caught a touchdown pass for Kansas City of seven yards.
Starr back, looking to throw, flooring up to the left and has Carol Dale at the 12 yard line.
Knocked down there by Willie Mitchell.
And never has it been so apparent, George Latimer, that an offense is working on one man in the defense of secondary.
They certainly seem to be picking on Mitchell, I don't say they seem to be, they are picking on Willie Mitchell all afternoon.
Even when they're not throwing the ball, they've been running quite a few plays around that and just keeping the pressure on him continuously.
Park Sir has almost been able to complete passes, I don't want to say at Willie, at Will over there you might say going either to the inside or the outside.
Third down and three from the 11 yard line, Dale is wide to the right, McGee is on the left side, Fleming is on the right side, Starr hands to Pitts, boy he had a opening for a moment that looked like he was going to go all the way but Johnny Robinson knifed him down at the 5.
First Greg was leading the way and Greg was actually out knocking down a man at the 10 yard line and Pitts for the moment looked as though he had the angle of the corner.
Robinson with great lateral speed came from the middle of the line over to the outside of the left side and knocked him down at the 5.
That's a first down at the 5 for the Packers, by the way Robinson said if you want to be a good defensive back, tennis is a great sport.
Mark Starr is now 15 for 23, what an afternoon.
First down five and straight ahead.
Goes Jim Taylor for a couple of yards perhaps down to the three or the two and a half.
Bobby Hunt the left side safety made the tackle.
A pause now 10 seconds for station identification.
WGY Schenectady a General Electric Broadcasting Company station.
All is on the two yard line second down.
Pitts and Taylor the setbacks.
Starr calling signals.
Starr still calling signals.
Jim Taylor swinging wide at the five, at the three and with his effort gets down close to the goal line.
But they'll mark it on about the six inch line.
Johnny Robinson who the last time made a tackle of Pitts on the left side.
This time makes the tackle of Taylor on the right side.
Heard down and a few inches.
28 to 10 Packers lead fourth quarter.
Six minutes 50 seconds to go.
Coming to the left side.
Taylor and Pitts.
As Green Bay has a strong right.
Ball is given to Pitts.
Pitts slides back and goes into the end zone.
Going off his own left side.
Was hit with the line and swing it.
A fast-moving pitch and went into the end zone.
And is now 30 to 40 to 10.
Green Bay has broken this first of the ball wide open.
Long channel has come in.
Rather better than 63,000 we understand.
Channel kicks and the kick is good.
It's time now to be in the score now.
Green Bay 35 Kansas City 10.
Gene Thomas and Burt Cohn are deep for Kansas City.
Pete Beathard has been warming up on the sidelines.
63,036 looking on as Don Chandler kicks off again for the Packers.
A high kick.
Ball and Wilson both weighted.
It's thrown at the one.
Coming straight up the field across the 10.
Going to his right.
Across the 15.
Out to the 20 yard line.
And that's about all.
Jim Grabowski jumps in to make the tackle.
Along with Tommy Crutcher a linebacker.
And Red Bacca a flanker.
That makes his second tackle and a kickoff today.
Kansas City drawing out with Pete Beathard.
A USC All-American here.
Now Kansas City making an appearance for his third year.
With Kansas City in the close.
Now they realize it and the band sets up for a home.
It's a real scrambling quarterback.
And with a flick of the wrist can throw it a mile.
He sends Burford to the left.
Taylor to the right.
Long count by Beathard.
He drops straight back.
Looks.
Close.
Has Burford.
Across the 40 to the 42 yard line.
Bob Jeter made the tackle there.
That's it up for the first down for the Kansas City Chiefs.
35 to 10.
The Packers lead.
Score in half time is 14 to 10.
With the Kansas City Chiefs having the better of it in all statistical departments except the scoreboard.
And again should Beathard care to continue throwing that type of pattern.
It should be open because undoubtedly now Green Bay will lay off farther and farther on pass defense.
Coming up the short pass making sure they don't get hit with the long one though.
Beathard dropping straight back again.
Looking now.
Now decides to run across the 40, across the 45.
That's a great block at the 45.
On the sidelines and out of bounds with another first down at the 44 yard line.
Willie Wood ran him out of bounds along with Bob Jeter.
But Ray Nitsky had the boom lowered on him as he looked to reach for the scrambling.
That's it.
All is put down on the 44.
First and 10.
And Beathard very quickly has taken him with two first downs.
Five minutes and 17 seconds to go.
In a moment George Radaman will be heading for a dressing room.
But before you go George after Beathard drops straight back we want to ask you something.
Beathard back.
Close and over.
Close back.
And the 45 yard line.
George very quickly your observation on Kansas City and Green Bay.
Well I think it was something that was predicted by a lot of people.
Kansas City just was not able to stop the passing of Bart Starr.
The passing offensive Green Bay this afternoon.
Kansas City I think stopped the Green Bay running attack far better than anybody here in this stadium.
Or watching this football game or listening to it and anticipate it.
Starr just picked him apart with his passing seemed to be able to complete passes whenever he wanted to do so.
And I think that's been the difference between these two ball clubs.
His ability to complete passes whenever he wanted against the fact that Kansas City could not do so because it defined defensive secondary of Green Bay.
Thank you George Radaman.
As flag's fly as the Packers jump and the Kansas City team jumps.
And it could be of course a legal procedure with a new quarterback method in there and that's exactly what it is.
Austin five yards.
Yards of George Radaman heads now for a dressing room.
We should have a report at the end of the game.
The ball is on the 49 yard line.
And so will be second down at 15.
Our spotters today for Green Bay and Ludlick and very centered for Kansas City.
Appreciate their work as this game is now going down in the history.
For those who will say I told you so the National League Packers are better.
There are those who say that Kansas City with the interception by Willie Wood.
The ball had been misspotted and is now two yards extra are given to the Kansas City Chief.
On the 49er Green Bay Packers.
There are those who say that the Chiefs just had a bad day.
May we remind you that the common football draft starts this year.
And in three years the National Football League and the American Football League will have completed its merger.
So the question will become academic.
Right now the planets belong to the National Football League.
Back to his backfield and down he goes.
Bob Brown led the way along with Lionel Aldrich.
Brown the rookie from Arkansas A&M.
6'5, 260 was in on Beathard and threw him for an 11 yard loss.
Make that 12 inside the 40 to the 39.
35 to 10 is the score.
Fourth quarter, five minutes and a few seconds to go.
He'd Beathard hand on hip leaning into the huddle as he so often does.
Now sends his Chiefs out of the huddle.
The doughnut is Taylor coming to the right.
And Beathard who has had a good day to the left.
Beathard and Taylor have had a good day.
Back goes Beathard.
On third down.
Long pass, downfield.
Intended downfield for Chris Beathard.
Tapped away at the final moments of the 32 yard line and that would have been enough for the first down.
Bob Jeter broke it up and the Chiefs will have to kick it away.
Less than five minutes, 4'39 to play.
35 to 10 Green Bay Leagues.
Donnie Anderson and Red go deep as Gerald Wilson is coming to hand in the five stepping back inside his own 25 yard line.
NBC Radio proud to bring you this AFL NFL Championship.
We remind you of the Palo Alto Desert Classic on NBC Radio.
February 4th and 5th, Wilson boots the ball high and deep.
Bearcats called for by Willie Wood at the 18 yard line, first and 10 tackles.
The tackles this afternoon, dressed in their green jerseys, gold pants, white thermals.
Kansas City which had not lost all year long, dressed in their white uniforms with red numerals.
They now find themselves trailing by 25 points, 35 to 10.
The other end goes out wide to the right.
Anderson and Grabowski are now on the backfield for Kansas City or rather for Green Bay.
Paul Horne has not made an appearance.
Borkowski is the quarterback, thanks to Anderson around the left side.
Across the 25 still on his feet and hit from behind as he got to the 30 yard line up to the 32 yard line.
Anderson showing great speed, hit from behind by E.J. Holland.
Gail Gillingham was leading the way, the right guard, as Vince Lombardi now has begun the substitute.
Bob Long from Wichita is in, Carol Dale is in, but the quarterback is Zeke Kratkowski, an 11-year veteran from Georgia.
Jim Grabowski, the rookie from Illinois, and Donnie Anderson, the rookie from Texas Tech are both in.
First and 10, handoff through Grabowski.
Grabowski nearly lost the ball, had to turn around for it, and what he did, Buck Buchanan wrestled him down.
The public address announces that Grabowski has recovered Grabowski's funnel.
The ball is down at the 32 yard line of Green Bay.
They lead 35 to 10, Bob Horne in less than four minutes to go now.
Bob Long goes out wide to the right.
Zeke Kratkowski calling signals.
The late afternoon shot on Los Angeles.
Donnie Anderson going to the right side, gets away from Hedrick, but Hedrick reaches over.
And one hand grabs him as Freddie Williamson has been leveled and is outlying on the turf at the 33 yard line,
because it is over Freddie Williamson and Donnie Anderson tripped, and he may have been hit.
In any event, he is down, and time has been passed, and his time is on the field.
The score, Green Bay 35, Kansas City 10.
Jim Simpson along with George Wademan and Freddie Williamson is still out at the 33 yard line, and they're working over him there.
It would have been with the knee of Donnie Anderson, hit him in the helmet. 35 to 10 is the score.
Two minutes and 46 seconds to go.
The pass is with 7-7.
The Packers came right back, Jim Taylor going over his own left side,
and then cutting to the outside and running 14 yards for a score to make it 14 to 7.
But again, the Kansas City Chiefs came back, and on a 31 yard field goal with less than a minute to go in the first half by Mike Mercer,
closed the gap to 14 to 10.
And that's the way they went to the dressing room.
And to repeat, Kansas City had slightly the better in the statistics, even though Green Bay was leading by four points.
But in the third quarter, in the early moments, Lenny Dawson went back, was trapped, and hung the ball up, throwing it out to his left.
Willie Wood cut in front of the receiver, picked it off, and ran all the way to the floor where Mike Garrett nailed it.
On the first play, Elijah Pitts went off the left side for four yards, and the score to make it 21 to 10.
Well, then the Packers were really rolling, and on the 13 yard pass play, again McGee scored to make it 28 to 10 in the third quarter.
And here in the fourth quarter, Elijah Pitts, going over from about well half a foot out, made it 35 to 10.
And of course, it has been Don Chandler who's confronted after each of the touchdowns.
Now a moment of concern as Hank Stram has come out and gone back.
Freddie Williamson is still out on the 33 yard line after that play that saw Donnie Anderson sweep to the right.
Hedrick get an arm on him, and I believe they're going to bring out the stretcher for Freddie Williamson,
the seven-year veteran from Northwestern, 6'3", 209, 28 years old.
They have the stretcher out now, and he will be taken from the field.
35 to 10, and now down in front of us, and he's being asked to leave, a young boy had run across the field,
went up to Paul Horning and asked for an autograph, and someone politely asked him to leave.
But Williamson is being carried off the field by a stretcher.
If we can, I have a report for you before we leave the air on how he is.
And I certainly try to get it. We do know that Ward Daller injured his shoulder and is out for the game.
That's what happened in the first period. Bob Long is out wide to the right.
Carroll Dale comes to the left. He was stirred down and ate.
Emmett Thomas has replaced Williamson.
Bacowski back and throwing deep for Carroll Dale, and has not been withdrawn,
but rather throws more toward the middle of the field, and Dale was out to the left.
Willie Mitchell was back along with Johnny Robinson defending.
And so now it'll be fourth down and eight.
This is the city of Los Angeles, and those concerned with the Super Bowl game,
the AFL-NFL Championship, have put on quite a display.
There have been bands from all over the country, a solo performance at halftime by Howell Hurt,
and we have been privileged to have in our broadcast booth before the game,
Bob Hope and at halftime, Lance Alworth of the San Diego Chargers down north of the Dallas Cavaliers.
Quite an afternoon and quite a day for the Green Bay Packers.
And the person who handled the putting this time is a left-footed kicker, goes by Emmett Thomas at the 25,
and will roll dead at about the 22-yard line,
where the Kansas City Chiefs will take over first and 10.
Looking at clock, two minutes and 22 seconds to go as Hank Scram is walking the sidelines by himself.
Near a few players realizing it has been quite an afternoon for the Green Bay Packers,
not his own Kansas City Chiefs.
But then again, this is the first Super Bowl, and there'll be a chance for two teams,
whether they be the Packers or Chiefs Revenson, but again, one year from now.
He'd bethored in as only one setback rolls to his right, going for Volk, going deep to Otis Taylor.
Taylor cannot catch up to the ball. He and Horb Adderley collided at the 33.
Adderley fell down. Taylor kept his feet. Tom Brown tried to cover him,
but had the ball been thrown a little bit shorter, Otis Taylor might have caught it.
Felted through it well, but the collision between Adderley and Otis Taylor meant that Otis was slowed up quite a bit,
and he could not reach the ball.
Second down and 10.
Less than two minutes to go by a couple of seconds, the officials, and there's six of them here today,
three from each league plus six other. Let's go to each sideline and say less than two minutes to go.
A crowd of 63,036 in perfect football weather have watched this, the first AFL-NFL championship game.
Report from the bench, Freddie Williamson, the cornerback from Northwestern, who is carried from the field,
but is not believed to have been hurt seriously, which is certainly good news.
Bathard brings his team out of the aisle. Otis Taylor comes to the right. Chris Burford goes to the left.
Mike Garrett and Curtis McClinton are set back.
Bathard dropping straight back this time in a pressure pocket and ducks his head
and his own momentum carries him down to the ground at the 15-yard line.
Bathard ducked under one tackle, but his legs went from under him and he could not get up to stop running
or at least throw again. Jim Wetherack, who is a defensive tackle, a rookie from Los Angeles State, by the way,
was the man who was pressuring Pete Bathard.
So it is third down and 16 with a minute and a half to go.
35 to 10, the Packers lead. They have led all the way. They've been tied once, 7 to 7.
Bathard taking a long time in the other.
The Coliseum here gaily decorated with an NFL-AFL Golden Crown of midfield.
Each of the end zones done in gold with the Chiefs letters at one end in red and the Packers in the other in green.
Pete Bathard drops back. Throws long and way over throws and almost over throws the entire Kansas City bench,
but Chris Burford was the intended receiver. Fourth down and 16.
A minute and 24 seconds to go.
In a few moments, once this game is over, we will be going down to the dressing room and you will hear the words of
the Green Bay Packers. It's about Somerall and George Rodham.
And we'll be there to talk with them. And I'm sure it will be quite a victory ceremony.
And I'm sure that each team, including the Packers for the Chiefs, has added respect for one another.
Darrell Wilson standing at the goal line. Kicks the ball away.
A driving kick sending Donnie Anderson and Willie Wood back.
It is Woodard takes it at the 31. Coming to the left side for shoot.
One block takes down two men. But Bobby Ply, number 14, who is very quick to get down under any kick,
makes the tackle at the 27-yard line.
A minute and 12 seconds to go.
Five down on the playing. And apparently this will be stepped off against the Green Bay Packers.
One-twelve to go.
As the officials now step it off.
Clipping. And as George Rodham told you, one of Vince Lombardi's edicts and axioms is that
unless you're absolutely sure, you're not going to block the man and be charged with a clip.
But this is the second time in this half. And this time it might be because the Green Bay Packers
are going with a great many of their reserves.
Those boys are a little over-anxious to do well in this game.
Murkowski is in. Call signals from the 13-yard line.
Handoff is full by Jim Grabowski, who's almost looking for Illinois,
but Buck Buchanan wrestles him down at the 15-yard line after day number two.
It'll be second down and eight.
One minute to go and the first AFL-NFO championship, the Super Bowl.
Packers, 35. And the Kansas City Chiefs, 10.
The poor George Rodham had left for the dressing rooms.
It was his observation that the Kansas City Chiefs simply could not stop the passing of Bart Starr,
who had quite a day, throwing long, throwing short.
Jim Taylor had a great day running, too.
Donnie Anderson, hit behind the line of scrimmage, gets away from one man, goes around that side across the 20,
and out to the 25 before Jerry Mays, the defensive left end, knocked him out of bounds at the 26.
Paul Strayer was leading the way. And of course, that stops the clock.
With 29 seconds to go.
One more reminder about the Bob Hope Desert Classic on NBC Radio on February the 4th and 5th.
Now Red Mack, who has seen action with several National Football League teams,
a former All-American at Notre Dame, number 27, comes in and he replaces Bob Long.
The flankerback, and Red, immediately went to the wrong side, and now has been told to come over to the left side,
which he does. He's flipped to the left.
Latkowski hands to Anderson. Anderson trying to find running room, gets across the line of scrimmage to 25,
and E.J. Hart tackles him from behind. The clock is running with 20 seconds to go.
The Packers out in front by 25 points, and this is the first Super Bowl.
Ten seconds to go.
The Packers standing around, not willing to get out another play necessarily.
The Kansas City Chiefs are willing to walk to the sideline, and the Kansas City Chiefs,
many of them, are walking forward to Green Bay Packers. Cheryl Hedrick taking the hand of Mark Star.
All of them have come over and are talking to the Packers.
That's the end of the game with the final score. Green Bay 35 and Kansas City 10.
We'll be back in a moment for the final wrap-up of today's game.
Ben Simpson along with George Radaman back at the Coliseum in Los Angeles, and don't go away yet.
We expect to be able to go to the Green Bay Packers' dressing room in a few moments,
where George Radaman and Pat Summerall are, and we'll be talking with the Packers
and, of course, the winning coach, Vince Lombardi.
Now we have this opportunity of this exciting day, and you may ask,
how can a 35-to-10 ball game be exciting? Well, it was, because it was 14-to-10 at the half,
and, of course, this game meant so much. It meant the National Football League for the first time
putting its prestige and its experience on the line against the seven-year-old American Football League,
which for years has wanted to do just that, put its prestige on the line against the National Football League.
Now it's the Green Bay Packers and the NFL that came off with a 35-to-10 victory,
but a reminder that it was 14-to-10 at the half, and again, one more time,
because this game will be chronicled in your newspapers and in magazines for some weeks to come.
Let us go over the scoring play. Max McGee scored first, first quarter, on a 37-yard touchdown play.
Second quarter on a seven-yard pass to McClendon. It was Kansas City tying it up,
7-7 with 10 minutes and 41 seconds to go, and the Chiefs at that time looked like they were right in the ballgame.
But the Packers came right back, and a long touchdown pass on third down short yardage to Carrolldale was called back,
because of a legal motion and interior linemen had moved.
Mark Starr, who had a tremendous afternoon, put together a 73-yard touchdown marks,
the final 14 of which were taken by Jim Taylor to make it 14-to-7, and from there on, the Packers were never seriously in trouble.
At the end of the first half, Mike Mercer took the 31-yard field goal, 14-to-10, but the Chiefs were never to come close.
In the third quarter, in the first two and a half minutes, Willie Wood intercepted the pass by Len Dawson,
but hung in the air for the moment, went down the sidelines. Mike Garrett came over and knocked him down on the floor,
but Elijah Pitts went over on the first play from four yards out to make it 21-to-10.
The Packers went right back into action, scoring later on a 13-yard pass play from Mark Starr,
again, who had a great afternoon, for Max McGee, 28-to-10.
Later in the fourth quarter, Elijah Pitts scored his second touchdown of the day from about one foot out.
And so Max McGee has scored two touchdowns, and Elijah Pitts has scored two touchdowns, Jim Taylor won.
And for Kansas City, McClendon got the only touchdown, and Mike Mercer kicked the field goal.
Paul Horning did not play today. When Vince Lombardi went to make substitutions late in the game,
he went to Jim Grabowski and Donnie Anderson. He did not go to Paul Horning.
In a few moments, we'll be going down to the dressing room.
And of course, for the Green Bay Packers, now, Vince Lombardi said, this is not that big a game.
There are many other games that have meant just as much to me, but I am sure,
and those who saw the Packers today at their hotel and their coach, Vince Lombardi,
know that this game indeed did mean a lot to them, and they've come off with a victory by the score of 35-to-10.
As for the Kansas City Chiefs, well, it'll be a long spring, but summer will be back,
and they'll be training once again for the American Football League Championship.
And by the way, in 1967, this year for the first time, there will be further comparisons,
although not on the championship level, of American Football League football and the National Football League,
because many teams will play exhibitions against one another.
So what has happened here today? On January 15, 1967, is simply the kickoff,
the inaugural of these teams of the American Football League and the National Football League getting together.
And as we said, by 1970, it will be one league. The merger will have been accomplished.
In the meantime, of course, there's the common draft of football players that will take place between now and then.
There will be no more of this bidding between the two leagues.
And so, the Green Bay Packers go back to Green Bay or wherever it is that their ballplayers may live,
secure and happy and confident in the fact that they have proven once again that they are quite a football team.
Since Vince Lombardi went there in 1959, starting in 1960,
the Packers have either been in the championship for the National Football League or the playoff goal every year.
This year, they won their fourth National Football League Championship.
Since 1960, their fourth under Vince Lombardi. It is quite a football team.
Hank Strand has never, well, he did one in Dallas, but while in Kansas City, never won the American Football League Championship.
But did this year with the additions of Mike Garrett, the rookie, a running halfback,
and the development of Otis Taylor, the farm flanker back, who today showed that he is quite a food-flanker,
no matter what league you're talking about.
Strand came up with some speed and the Kansas City Chiefs came up with the championship by knocking off Popolo.
They got the chance to come against Green Bay and they held in there for the first half only.
Because after the first half, the interception by Willie Wood just seemed to turn the tide.
And the Green Bay Packers, veterans of such championship play as this, took it and ran.
Hit-scoring immediately and from there on, throughout the second half, there was no question,
the play, the offense, the impetus all belonged to the Green Bay Packers.
Well, George Raderman and Pat Sumerow by this time should be in the Green Bay Packers dressing room.
And in a moment, we'll be going down to the dressing room for their report.
Now, of course, whether or not they will be allowed in the dressing room right away, we don't know.
So we'll just hang on right here as the band continues to play.
The count this afternoon, 63,036, turned out of the Los Angeles Coliseum to watch.
Under perfect and sunny skies, temperature in the 70s, little or no wind, a delightful day for a football game,
and of course a great day that many people will remember for a long time as the inaugural of the Super Bowl,
the first meeting between the American Football League and the National Football League,
which took place here today, January the 15th of 1967.
Now, football, with the exception of the Flo Bowl, which will be played here between NFL All-Stars
and the American Football League All-Star Game, which is coming up next Saturday afternoon,
football is just about over.
We turn our attention now to other things coming up on NBC Radio, and we remind you of Monitor on NBC,
which is on every weekend, but we also remind you of a specific NBC radio pick-up,
which will be the Bob Hope Desert Classic, coming up on February 4th and 5th.
This giant Coliseum is about emptied out now, of its 63,000-plus fans, but one of the bands,
one of the many bands that was here for the Super Bowl, continues to play at midfield.
Now, let us go down to the dressing room to that summer off.
So, we should have perhaps as many as 12 or 15 interleague games next summer.
What are the differences now remain for you to work out?
For example, you have one or two rule differences this afternoon's game.
Have those things been resolved, or are they still being resolved?
Well, one of the main ones left open is still that two-point conversion.
It was not used today, but it will be used in all of the interleague preseason games next summer
and the NFL club has a chance to see how it works.
And as to the future of the two-point conversion, we'll take it up after this summer perhaps.
What about the financial payoff now? $15,000 to the winner, $8,500 to the loser, or $75,000 to the loser?
Correct.
Is that predetermined, or what effect did you say to the prize?
Yes, those were set figures, and then after taking those and game expenses out,
we'll give them about $1,170,000 to the competing players, and we'll take game expenses out.
And then after that, 40% of the remainder would go to their player pension funds,
and then 15% to each league office, and 15% to each of the competing clubs.
So from a financial standpoint, it was quite successful.
You went all the way, it was a pretty good afternoon.
Yes, it was.
Both teams end for you as commissioner of the two leagues. What is your title now?
Commissioner of the two leagues, and hopefully NFL president soon so I can take over another half an hour.
Thank you very, very much.
Thank you, Dad.
Congratulations to you on a wonderful tour this afternoon.
We'll have more from both the dressing room in just a moment.
Okay.
Well, you heard Pat Sumaral talking with the commissioner of the National Football League,
as well as the American Football League, Pete Rozelle,
and something that perhaps we did not mention in the closing moments he mentioned,
is that the families of the Green Bay Packers North, each of the winning players gets $15,000.
The losing players get $7,500.
Well, the Coliseum is about empty, but as we said, this game will be talked about for a long, long time.
It has been won by the Green Bay Packers.
