00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:16,000
The Chicago Bears faced the San Francisco 49ers at Kizar Stadium for week 6 of the 1953 NFL season on Sunday, November 1st.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
This game featured two of the pioneers in the passing game, George Blanda versus Y.A. Tittle.

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:29,000
The Bears were struggling in 1953 under George Hallis in his 34th season as head coach, GM, and owner.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,000
They gave the starting quarterback job to George Blanda to start this season. He would go on to play in the NFL for another 23 years.

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:45,000
The 49ers were in their fourth year in the NFL, and they were coached by Buck Shaw, who had led the team since their existence in the All-American Football Conference in the late 1940s.

7
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:53,000
The AAFC folded in 1950 after their top two teams, the Cleveland Browns and the 49ers, joined the NFL.

8
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:00,000
San Francisco was a strong team in the All-American Football Conference, but struggled after transferring to the NFL in 1950.

9
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
But after the AAFC folded, many of their top talent entered the NFL draft, and that's when Coach Shaw jumped on the chance to acquire quarterback Y.A. Tittle.

10
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Unfortunately, this audio recording is only a partial broadcast, but it is one of the earliest NFL games on radio that still exists.

11
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
We believe it's from the Chicago radio announcer, Bud Foster, but it's not clearly identified during this broadcast.

12
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
The recording appears to start sometime early in the first quarter, with the 49ers leading 7-0.

13
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Fortunately, the rest of the broadcast is not necessarily cut off, but rather highly edited to only include many of the key plays.

14
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Nevertheless, it's pretty fun to listen to an early 1950s NFL football game involving two future Hall of Fame gunslingers.

15
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000
...the left side, he gets away with the tackle on the 40, heads back to the inside, he's down on the 15, and he's spun around.

16
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,000
He couldn't get away from the tackle of George Conn, who finally kneeled McElhaney right on the 50-yard line for a 12-yard gain.

17
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
And it's now his San Francisco with first and 10 squarely on the 50-yard line.

18
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,000
...spanking wide to the right now. Why Tittle with that birdcage mask to protect that shattered cheekbone.

19
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Looking all around, now hands under center as he barks the signal.

20
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000
The Bears up into an eighth-man line, and here's McElhaney over left tackle, finds a little hole, hurdles over the 45, rolls up in a heap on the 44-yard line.

21
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
...on the 44-yard line of Chicago, with a handkerchiefs all over the field.

22
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:43,000
And there is an offside penalty we feel quite sure coming up against San Francisco's 49ers, which will take the ball back to their 45-yard line of the Bears, except the penalty, and they do.

23
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
It's back to the 45 of San Francisco.

24
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Down will go over, first down, 15 to go.

25
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
The deformation boy goes back, fires over the middle, it's caught by Solton.

26
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
He's killing his feet, stumbling around, but he's finally knocked down flat by Don Kent.

27
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
The safety man of the Chicago Bears stopping him right on the 48-yard line of the Chicago Bears.

28
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Solton is splitting wide to the right.

29
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Hugh McElhaney moves on the inside to flank in there.

30
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
The man covering him is Dick Hensley, a defensive ender.

31
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Tittle barking a long count this time.

32
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Hands it off, and Perry hits over the center, rolls over and over to the 45-yard line of the Chicago Bears, picking up almost two yards.

33
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Whistle may have blown on about the 46.

34
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
He's still seated right on squarely on the bare 45.

35
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Now gets to his feet.

36
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000
He was tripped up in the play by Fred Williams, a tremendous large tackle who formerly came from Arkansas.

37
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Williams has 250 to pass.

38
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Drops back to the 46, down over the middle.

39
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Billy Wilson's got it on the 20-yard line, and he's down on the 18-yard line.

40
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Don Kent making it in there once again for the Chicago Bears.

41
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,000
So Billy Wilson gets down there.

42
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
It's why Tittle firing with all his old aplomb and their inaccuracy, hitting him right squarely between the eyes.

43
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Ball was actually caught on about the 24-yard line.

44
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Billy Wilson took a couple of fast drives, was hit, diving for additional yardage, and finally is nailed down on the 18-yard line of the Chicago Bears.

45
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Mike McElhane on the outside.

46
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Here's the handoff.

47
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Perry goes over left tackle, but he gets nowhere.

48
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000
His head sprinkle comes in from that defensive right end and gets a hold of Perry and drags him down hard right on the line of scrimmage.

49
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
You may have had a half a yard, but I don't believe you did.

50
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Way back to fast.

51
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Fires down there.

52
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Billy Wilson has it not run out of his hands by Don Kent on the 5-yard line.

53
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Billy Wilson was running latterly across that 5 toward the far sideline strip, and Don Kent reached around and slapped him just before getting into Wilson's hands.

54
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Billy Johnson gets it back to Tittle.

55
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
He fades to pass way back to 27 down over the center to Billy Wilson.

56
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:37,000
He gets right by Don Kent, the safety man who was out there trying to guard him, and the 49ers score their second touchdown in the first nine minutes of this football game.

57
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:46,000
That was why Tittle on an 18-yard pass to Billy Wilson to make it 13-0, San Francisco leading the Chicago Bears.

58
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Backs sold out, boots out of powers old.

59
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000
It's good.

60
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
And the score of the San Francisco 49ers, 14.

61
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
The Chicago Bears, nothing.

62
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Now it's time here for just a moment.

63
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Let's take that time for Roy's story.

64
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Nice to show him.

65
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
It's high, end over end, carrying right down toward the upright.

66
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
And the ball's dropped by Macon right in front of the goal post.

67
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Holds out of it just about a yard or two behind the goal line.

68
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
So the Bears will take the ball out of the middle on 20-yard line.

69
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Swing pass comes out to Billy Stone.

70
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
He's up over the 20.

71
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Clips off a tackle this time by Don Berkeley.

72
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
He's pulling the ball hard on the 29-yard line of the Bears.

73
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Good for a nine-yard gain.

74
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Billy Flanks left.

75
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Bill McCall split in wide to the right.

76
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Swing pass again out to Dewey or Stone.

77
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Up over the 30s, down the 33-yard line by Joe Arenas, who is playing the defensive right halfback spot now.

78
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
First 33, first and 10 to go.

79
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
The same formation.

80
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
McCall split wide toward the far side on the 32-yard line.

81
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
And here's Blanda handing it off.

82
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
And over the center comes Stone on a cross-bucket to the 36-yard line.

83
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
That's where he has finally stopped.

84
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Quarter, Detroit Lions, 10.

85
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Los Angeles Rams, nothing.

86
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
This time Blanda pack-pedals all the way to the 25.

87
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Throws downfield and it's caught.

88
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
And stepping into the sideline on the play is Johnny Hoffman.

89
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
And let's see whether he went out of bounds or not against the sideline stripe right down here in front of us.

90
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
His foot was mighty close to it.

91
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,000
He did not.

92
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,000
And it was Don Burke and Joe Arenas finally making the tackle on the San Francisco 47-yard line.

93
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
For the Chicago Bears.

94
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
And Blanda again turns and goes back to pass.

95
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Throws the screen past to Morrison, he's got it on the 48, runs the 50 down the 45 of San Francisco.

96
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Tackle on the 43 and drops on about the 42-yard line.

97
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Fades to pass again, throws again out here, caught by Stone.

98
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
He drops the ball as he's starting to run right on the 40-yard line.

99
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Billy Stone coming out here.

100
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
That ball evidently a little slippery.

101
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Just found it right off his hands and fell incomplete.

102
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Down over the ball, former college player.

103
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
The Bears into a tight balance line this time.

104
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000
No spread.

105
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000
The handoff goes this time to Morrison.

106
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
He tries to bang his way over the center of that line.

107
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
And he's down to about the 37-yard line.

108
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Blanda fading to pass, throws the swing again out there and it's dropped.

109
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
It's a little bit short this time to Billy Stone.

110
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Not his fault.

111
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,000
As Blanda backpedaling fast, was trying to get out of the grasp of Charlie Paul.

112
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,000
The defensive right end.

113
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
And I believe there's going to be a penalty coming up against the Chicago Bears.

114
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
That's the way the headlinesman is pointing at it by him.

115
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Let's see the 49ers will accept or refuse the penalty.

116
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Backfield in motion penalty it is.

117
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
And refused by San Francisco.

118
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
The ball remains on the 49 or 37-yard line.

119
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Right off the right, Dooley flanking toward the left again.

120
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
San Francisco into a six-man line.

121
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Blanda fading to pass way, way back he goes.

122
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Throws a long downfield pass and it is caught.

123
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
And the receivers throw in the bounds on the 18-yard line.

124
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,000
This time catching that ball over to Jimmy Dooley who was down and out to the sidelines that time.

125
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000
And Jordan is the halfback throwing him out of bounds on San Francisco's 17-yard line.

126
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Again, Dooley flanks just outside the offensive left end.

127
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Bill Whiteken, Blanda taking the air again, fades the pass.

128
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Looks for McCall way down the corner and it is broken up incomplete in the end zone.

129
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Breaking that one up was Hardy Brown and also Rex Berry.

130
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
McCall slipped way wide this time and Blanda again is going to take to the air.

131
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Fades, throws a swing pass to Morris.

132
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000
He's got on the 22, down on the 20, down the 15, down the 10.

133
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Hit hard and throw in the 10-yard of San Francisco.

134
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Short of a first down by maybe three yards.

135
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:11,000
And off goes this time with a reverse play and Johnny Hoffman carries down almost for a first down to about the 18-yard line of San Francisco.

136
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Going to be very close to the first down.

137
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,000
The tackler, big Charlie Powell and also Joe Manley.

138
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
And at the bottom of the pile, the safety man, Fred Bruni, came charging in there fast.

139
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Let's see if a first down has been made.

140
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
That was a big play, third down and it was three to go.

141
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Now the chain gang boys are coming on in to make the measurement.

142
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Looks to be a little bit short in here right now.

143
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
We can peer through the officials legs to see the lead pole.

144
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
It is short by about a half a yard.

145
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,000
So it's fourth down and we'll call it one yard to go on the San Francisco eight-yard line.

146
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Three backs of rest and a close tee.

147
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Hand off, smash in there this time and let's see if he made it or not.

148
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Carrying on that last play with a full back, Johnny Dutley.

149
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Tried right at the center of the line and boy it is going to be close.

150
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Let's see the 49ers, Karapela, Mahalik, Domalini have been able to hold him out in there.

151
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Boy they're uncovering an awful squirming pile of football players who are trying to get loose in that pile.

152
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
That was Dutley the full back on a straight away smash in the line.

153
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000
It's going to be mighty close.

154
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Again, now the chain gang comes out of the field.

155
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Here's the measurement being made.

156
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Big George Connor the captain of the Bears looking it over.

157
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:24,000
And it's first down for the Chicago Bears on the San Francisco seven-yard line and they just made it by inches.

158
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
The turn this time to hand off, Morrison it's right tackled him, down he goes.

159
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Hardy Brown came in there and felt that he had parted.

160
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Hardy Brown and Rex Berry, Curly Morrison trying to hurtle over his own right tackle spot.

161
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Was really chilled on that last one.

162
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Man oh man he shook his head a little bit as he ran back toward that huddle.

163
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
He stowed his feet out of a tight tee.

164
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Here's the double fake, playing the back, shoots it past the end zone.

165
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000
It's cut for a touchdown and grabbing it's Phil McCall formerly of Stanford.

166
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Phil McCall for a touchdown for the Chicago Bears and the score is now 14 to 6 in favor of San Francisco here in the first quarter.

167
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Just 25 seconds of playing time remaining in the first period.

168
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:10,000
So George Bland on those little short passes here and one especially long one caught by Jimmy DeLeo's engineers, the George Hallis crew.

169
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Right straight down the field after San Francisco went into a 14 to nothing lead.

170
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Place down Brandon Boots and that one is through them and the score is now the San Francisco 40 enters 14 the Chicago Bears 7.

171
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:31,000
It's a wobbling kick off the side of the toe bouncing down taken by Macklin in the 3s back to the 5 to 10.

172
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Running up the middle of the 15, puts on a burst of speed in the 20, hit with a helmet tackle in the 30 and brought down Squirrelly on the 30 yard line.

173
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:46,000
And sounding the end of the first quarter here at San Francisco's Kizar Stadium and with the gun ending the first quarter of play the score on the Pergemeister scoreboard.

174
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000
The San Francisco 40 enters 14 the Chicago Bears 7.

175
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Way down with short passes to get on the scoreboard.

176
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Y.A. Tittle at quarter now, Franks Macklinney toward the left.

177
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
40 enters moving from our right to our left offensively.

178
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,000
They're into a balanced line but a flanking back to the left. Tittle is on back to pass.

179
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Little protection throws downfield and it's in and it's bounced around.

180
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000
It's caught by Kint. He's on the 43 of San Francisco, the 40 to 35 down the far side.

181
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000
30 and he's run out of bounds on the San Francisco 22 or 23 yard line.

182
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:25,000
That ball bounded off the hands of Livingston and finally into the hands of Kint who returned it all the way down to San Francisco.

183
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000
25 yard line is where they say he stepped out of bounds.

184
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:36,000
So the Bears on that frantic pass that time with Y.A. Tittle being rushed had the ball bound around at the end and Kint grabbed it on out of bounds.

185
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
It's the end and spreads the back wide to the right. He fades to pass.

186
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000
He throws downfield and it's completed. Taken right down on the field by Johnny Hoffman.

187
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000
He's knocked down on the 25 yard line after a 5 yard gain.

188
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Fading to pass throws a little swing pass caught out there by Billy Stoney who's on the 20.

189
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Comes to a stop, cuts in over the 15 all the way down to about the 10 yard line before he's dropped.

190
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000
An official running over the pile had his feet go off from under him and the soggy going.

191
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,000
And he slipped down there at about the 11 yard line.

192
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,000
It was Fred Bruni up there making the tackle on the play.

193
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
He said it was over the ball. The Bears go into a balanced line.

194
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
But this time they're splitting McCall wide to the right.

195
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Land again, turns hands the ball off to the second man.

196
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Stone's coming wide around right end of the 15 down the 10.

197
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
He's down to the 5. He's in the end zone. It's 14 to 13.

198
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Billy Stone scores on a reverse play from the tee around right end.

199
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Circling over this side of the field and he went right into the end zone.

200
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,000
He was not tackled and it's now 14 to 13.

201
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
40-yarders leading in the early moments of this second quarter.

202
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,000
It's the tying point and it's now on the Bergmeister scoreboard all tied up.

203
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,000
The Chicago Bears 14. The San Francisco 49ers 14.

204
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Booting it off, it's a low bounding kick coming toward this side of the field.

205
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Bounces around the 10 yard line and rolls into the end zone.

206
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,000
McElhaney has it bound on by him. Goes completely over the end zone.

207
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000
And it'll be 49ers bowling their own 20 yard line, first down and 10 yards to go.

208
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
This is a spanking wide to the right.

209
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,000
The Bears are up now into a 7 man line with an umbrella form.

210
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Back into a 6-1-4 defense. Tittle pitches out. Perry's going around right end.

211
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
St. Clair gives him a little block but closing in on top of the pile to nail him down is Dick Hensley defensive left end.

212
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
He moved up to about the 20 yard line, maybe the 21 and that'll be all.

213
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Now the split end. Blanking back toward the left.

214
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Here's the handoff. Over the center goes Perry.

215
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Hurdles down to about the 25 yard line, getting about 4 yards.

216
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,000
That was a fake pitch out to Hugh McElhaney who's cutting over from the right halfback.

217
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Handoff went to the fullbacks, bearing straight ahead down the center of the line.

218
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Went to about the 25 yard line. We'll call it third now.

219
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
And it'll be 5 yards to go.

220
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Inside is Arenas. The rest of the line balanced up.

221
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Two backs in behind. Y.A. Tittle turns pitches out quickly.

222
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
McElhaney's around right end, the 25 at the 30.

223
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
He's a 35. He's all the way to 40.

224
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
He's struggling for additional yard. He's toward the sideline.

225
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,000
And he's held standing up straight on the San Francisco 44 yard line of the far center of the field.

226
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
And he was caught up with by the Chicago Bears.

227
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000
S.J. Whitman, their defensive left halfback.

228
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Anderson comes over from the right halfback to cover him.

229
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Tittle's fading back to pass. Goes back down the middle of pocket.

230
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Throws and the ball partially deflected. His arm was hit.

231
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,000
And Tittle was knocked down on the play. His bearing through was Wayne Hanson, the middle guard of the Chicago Bears.

232
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,000
His arm was bent just a little bit in there as he threw that ball.

233
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
And he's the left hand to arenas over right tackle. He finds a little tiny hole.

234
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
And that's all he's able to go. A little bit of yardage.

235
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
About two yards. Moving into the 46 yard line.

236
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
It's a balanced line. Kind of loosely spaced.

237
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Tittle's fading way back to pass. Looking for that blocking hole.

238
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,000
He's on the ball. Runs the right.

239
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Throws a long moving pass downfield for Wilson.

240
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
And it's intercepted.

241
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Taken by Whitman way back in his own 18. He's back in his bear 20 at the 25.

242
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000
He's took 12 a tackle in the 30. Back to 35.

243
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Towards the side of the field. Up the middle of 40.

244
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
To the 45. To the bear 48.

245
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Before he's dragged down by St. Clair.

246
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Flanking to the left. Land under center.

247
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Quarterback turns. Hands on a trap.

248
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Morrison heads to the outside.

249
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
And Nomalini grabs him and throws him on the 44.

250
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Leo Nomalini who was weighing in there.

251
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Just like a great big grizzly bear for that play to come at him.

252
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Morrison came through there.

253
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Attempted trap. Headed to the outside.

254
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000
And boom. Nomalini came through there and grabbed a hold of him.

255
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
All splits off the right end by three yards.

256
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Flanking left. Duly again.

257
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Flan the face to pass.

258
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Backs all the way up to the bear 37.

259
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Goes out there and it's caught.

260
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Taken by Duly.

261
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000
He's thrown by Jorvinas on San Francisco's 44 yard line.

262
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000
He's short of a first down by about two possibly three yards.

263
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
For the Bears once more.

264
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
As Blanders leads them up in all kinds of formations.

265
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Hands the ball.

266
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,000
The second man's stone is over for a first down.

267
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000
The 40. To the 39.

268
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000
He's caught and held standing up and finally wrestled down.

269
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Attempts the 39. Back to the 50.

270
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Throws along one great way downfield.

271
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000
And it's incomplete on the two yard line of San Francisco.

272
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Jorvinas was struggling along there to get a hold of that ball.

273
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
It was way overthrown intended for Bill McCall or Jim Duly rather.

274
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000
And it takes it under center and fades again to take to the air.

275
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Throws the screen out there and it's caught by Hoffman.

276
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,000
He's hit by Burke and he's thrown for about a three yard loss on the 42 or 43 yard line.

277
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Back he throws and it's caught and out of bounds on the 33 yard line.

278
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Again it was Jimmy Duly catching over there on the San Francisco 33.

279
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000
And driven out of bounds right at that point.

280
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
That's where it's placed in.

281
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,000
It's going to be short of a first down.

282
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
It'll be fourth and about three yards to go.

283
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Donald holding right on the 40.

284
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000
There it's snapped.

285
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Placed down. There's the boot by Blander.

286
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
It looks pretty good. It's no good.

287
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Missed the upright off to this right hand side.

288
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000
The score remains on the Burgermeister scoreboard.

289
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,000
The 49ers 14.

290
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Chicago Bears 14.

291
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
On the left against this near sideline strike.

292
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,000
YA turns. Fires out.

293
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
McElhaney grabs it on the 20 yard line.

294
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Bouncing around on his feet.

295
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Still on his feet.

296
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Struggling and it gets him to the 24 yard line.

297
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
And the Bears overpower him at that point.

298
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Kent was in there.

299
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Sprinkle was in there.

300
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Fullback.

301
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Arena's the left half back.

302
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Tittle way behind that center.

303
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Turns or parries down over the middle.

304
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Struggling up to about the 29 yard line before he's nailed down by George Conham.

305
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
And by Dick Hensley.

306
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
And on the outside he's way back there.

307
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Tackles.

308
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Slips off.

309
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Up with the 30 for first time.

310
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,000
The 35 and out of bounds.

311
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
San Francisco's 36.

312
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Arenas who was nailed in there.

313
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Definitely.

314
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000
So it would seem.

315
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
And we'll get that would be tackled.

316
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,000
The Chicago Bears who couldn't hang on.

317
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
It was S.J. Whitman, the defensive left half back.

318
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Still have an eight man lineup there.

319
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,000
If you're looking at that way.

320
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Tittle fires out.

321
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,000
It's caught by McElhaney.

322
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Zigzags one way and then the other.

323
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Head down.

324
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Bucks up to about the 39 yard line.

325
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
There he was stopped by Dick Hensley and by S.J. Whitman again.

326
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Gives it off to second man Shevarum.

327
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Over the center line.

328
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
The 40, the 45, the 46.

329
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Before Shevarum on the quick opener is finally brought down by Hensley again.

330
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,000
And also by Johnny Hilwig.

331
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
The middle guard of the Chicago Bears.

332
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
He's way in close up into that eight man line for the Bears.

333
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Tittle fakes.

334
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Holds our way back.

335
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Long time.

336
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Throws downfield for Stilthall.

337
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,000
And he's got it.

338
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,000
He's got it.

339
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,000
25 yard run for the Bears.

340
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Into his hands.

341
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Tried to pull it into his chest.

342
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000
And it slithered right through.

343
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
And fell on the 20 yard line.

344
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
The second and 10 fades to pass once more.

345
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,000
A little bit of protection.

346
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Finds a hole.

347
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Runs right down the middle.

348
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000
The 45, the 50.

349
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Pickens Tittle to the Bear.

350
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,000
45.

351
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Circles one tackle and he's right down the 42 yard line.

352
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Why?

353
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Tittle was time running right straight down the center.

354
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,000
And there's a dog on the field.

355
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
And it was running a little interference for him.

356
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,000
And now it's the backfield judge who is turning, picking up this little fuzzy dog and taking

357
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,000
him off.

358
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,000
There's Tittle.

359
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Had a lot of company coming downfield with the Bear 41 yard line.

360
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000
14 to 14 all-tide football game.

361
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Tittle again flanks Shabaram to the left.

362
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Hands off, parries over right guard.

363
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
He's going his feet to the 35 yard line.

364
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Shabaram goes over guard on a cross buck and he scrambles down about the 32 yard line.

365
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
And I believe that's going to be good enough for a first down.

366
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
They may have to call it the chain game to make a measurement.

367
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Pete Shabaram falling backwards right into that 30 yard line.

368
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Right tackle all the way down to the 25 yard line before he's finally nailed.

369
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000
A quick opening play to the right halfback.

370
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
And a beautiful hole opened up by Bob St. Claren.

371
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Set McElhaney to a first down on the Bear.

372
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
25 yard line.

373
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Tittle spreads so tall off that left end.

374
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Barks out the signals.

375
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Turns, fakes to Shabaram.

376
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Goes on back.

377
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Pete gives him a block.

378
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,000
He throws out the flat.

379
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,000
McElhaney kicks on the 20.

380
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Touchback on the inside.

381
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Back on the 20 to the 15.

382
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Tackle on the 15.

383
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Drop down on the 12 yard line of Chicago.

384
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
And Tittle turns and fades the pass.

385
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Goes back to the Bear 20.

386
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Throws.

387
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
McElhaney's got another seven.

388
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
He's hit immediately on the seven yard line.

389
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
And that's where he's brought down.

390
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Flanks out.

391
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Here's to McElhaney.

392
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000
McElhaney right straight down the middle of the five.

393
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
He goes into the end zone for a touchdown.

394
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Here's McElhaney, wigwagging.

395
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Flings his way right through there.

396
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Goes in for a touchdown in the 49ers lead 20 to 14.

397
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Stretch gets it.

398
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Places it.

399
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Looted by Soltar.

400
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Good.

401
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,000
The score now.

402
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,000
The 49ers 21.

403
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,000
The Chicago Bears 14.

404
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,000
By Soltar it's a bad one.

405
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Bounces down the 20.

406
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Rolls around.

407
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Bounces off Connor.

408
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Pick up by Anderson on the 10 of the Bears.

409
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,000
He's back to 15.

410
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,000
He misses one tackle.

411
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Wigwags his way to the 25 and brought down the 26 yard line.

412
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,000
He's planned to throw the long one downfield over the 20 yard line.

413
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,000
He's planned to throw the long one downfield over the head this time of the big boy Jimmy

414
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Dooley.

415
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Half back wide to left.

416
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Looks out the right.

417
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Runs way back to his own 17.

418
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Throws a tremendous long pass.

419
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Way, way downfield and Barry intercepts back on the 49er 29.

420
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,000
He's back to 25.

421
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,000
The 30 up the middle of 35.

422
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:43,000
For the outside in the 40 to 45 to the 15 to the Bear 47 yard line.

423
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,000
He's finally held standing up as the Bear knocks the ball out of his hands.

424
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Rex Berry way back intercepted on the 29 yard line.

425
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
He brought that ball back a distance of about 24 yards altogether.

426
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Good line about 15 yards into this near side of the field.

427
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Why Tittle turns to fade to pass.

428
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Goes way back.

429
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Now being rushed he fires one out here.

430
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000
It's caught by Sol Tony.

431
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Runs out of bounds on about the 38 yard line of Chicago.

432
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Times this afternoon.

433
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Hugh McElhaney flanks on the inside.

434
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Tittle parking signals.

435
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Turns.

436
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,000
He's taken to the other end.

437
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000
He fades back.

438
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Good blocking by Perry.

439
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Throws a long one way downfield and it is bumped around and incomplete to Hugh McElhaney

440
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
as Whitman hits his hands on it.

441
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,000
McElhaney his hands on it.

442
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,000
And it looks like Hugh was going to get it on the second bounce down in there for just

443
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,000
a moment.

444
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000
But he couldn't hold on.

445
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Inside.

446
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Tittle again barks the signals.

447
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Fades to pass.

448
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Being rushed way back.

449
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Throws a screen.

450
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000
This time caught by Perry.

451
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,000
He's running down the middle of the 40.

452
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,000
On the outside of the 35 to the Bear.

453
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,000
One blockers.

454
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,000
What a beautiful block by Sol Tony.

455
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,000
He's on the 25 to the 15.

456
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,000
He's down to the 13 yard line of Chicago.

457
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,000
A beautiful block by Sol Tony.

458
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,000
That play with his handkerchief.

459
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Right in there where Sol Tony put on that block.

460
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,000
He's got it.

461
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,000
He's got it.

462
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000
He's got it.

463
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,000
And it was caught by Sol Tony, that play with his handkerchief right in there where Sol

464
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Tony put on that block.

465
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Point of the foam.

466
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000
That block was laid on about the 23.

467
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,460
And that moves it all the way up now to about the 38 yard line.

468
00:20:57,460 --> 00:21:01,000
They're placing it on the 39 yard line of the Chicago Bears.

469
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000
On the play Tittle fades to pass.

470
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Goes down field.

471
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,000
And it's caught right off the turn.

472
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000
This time by Sol Tony, runs on the bounds on the Bear 33.

473
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,000
But there's a handkerchief on the play.

474
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Ten yards to go from that 33 yard line.

475
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,480
again takes a snap from Billy Johnson fades way back sprinkle rushing and

476
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,080
Tittle ducks the ball's Fulmer recovered by the Bears in the 42 yard line and

477
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,440
and sprinkle went in there high with that arm right around Tittle's head and

478
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,520
almost Torrey's helmet off and the ball was recovered as it was bounced out of

479
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,480
Tittle's hands by Bill Bishop the tackle. Flanders back to pass looking left he

480
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,880
throws downfield left and it's caught by Duleed runs over his pushed out of bounds

481
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,280
on about the 50 yard line right in front of the 40 on the bench in the parts out

482
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,160
of the field. Fades to pass again looks downfield gonna let loose a long one

483
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,480
let's go all the way downfield it's incomplete and the pass was intended on

484
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,800
the play for Johnny Hoffman. It's Hoffman either a full back or an end on that

485
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,920
play but he's up there on the end sometimes and sometimes he's in the

486
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,760
backfield running. Let's keep an eye on him all the time. He's a big boy.

487
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,120
The clock stopped with about four seconds of play here in the first half

488
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:06,920
balls placed on San Francisco's 44 yard line. Offside against San Francisco has

489
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:12,680
been called and it'll now be down coming up. Goal by George Flander Tommy O'Connell

490
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,040
holding and be booted from 51 yards away. It's placed it's booted there it goes

491
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:22,480
way down but it is way wide too and it's no good. So the ball goes over the San

492
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,280
Francisco end zone completely out of it. Flanders tried two field goals today one

493
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,640
a 40 yarder this one would have been a 51 yarder had it been good. The ball

494
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,680
comes back to San Francisco on its own 20 yard line and the clock has indicated

495
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,480
that time has run out. So let's see if that gun sounded or misfired here in the

496
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,480
damp weather and there's a possibility of that too. San Francisco is moving out

497
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,640
its offensive team there may be just a second or two left to play. The clock is

498
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,120
stopped with about one second now they moved it back with one second left to go

499
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:57,280
here in this first half. 21-14 40-owners leading on the Berge scoreboard. San

500
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,320
Francisco huddling back on its own five yard line. They've driven in there pretty

501
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,160
deep at one time but a 15 yard offensive holding and penalty had placed them back

502
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:09,200
on the bear 39 yard line and Tittle right by sprinkle dropped the ball and

503
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:14,680
his bubble was recovered by Bill Bishop of the Bears. San Francisco lines it up

504
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,280
now in the 20 yard line. Wilton split in wide to the right. Arena's flanking on

505
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,440
the inside. Tittle sets his line hands are still in his hips. Clock hasn't

506
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,640
started as yet. Waiting for the snap from center you'll have time for this play

507
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,200
that's definite there he's got it he's fading to pass. Tittle goes way back to

508
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:36,040
his 10 he throws and it's incomplete up on the 29 as the gun sounds. Bears are

509
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,840
yelling about why Tittle intentionally grounding that ball. Tittle was knocked

510
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,280
down by sprinkle and also by Hanson on that play again and so the first half of

511
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,480
this game at Keysar Stadium in San Francisco has come to an end and after

512
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,000
30 minutes of real offensive football this afternoon under very leaden skies

513
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:59,400
here in the Bay Area. It's the San Francisco 49ers 21 the Chicago Bears 14

514
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:05,200
at halftime. With a score on the Bergemeister scoreboard at the end of

515
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:13,600
three quarters the San Francisco 49ers 21 the Chicago Bears 14.

516
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:20,440
Gentlemen it is all over. We get the final gun and the 49ers for the first time since joining the

517
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:26,200
National Football League in 1915 have beaten the George Hallis coach Chicago

518
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,440
Bears here at San Francisco's Keysar Stadium they have beaten them before

519
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,160
twice in Chicago but never here at Keysar Stadium so today they realize

520
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:39,560
another ambition as they beat the Hallis coach Bears by a final score of 24 to 14

521
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,560
and the 49ers seasonal record will now be four victories two losses the Los

522
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,880
Angeles Rams defeated the Detroit Lions giving the Lions their second loss of

523
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:54,240
the year their final score was 37 to 24 today at the Coliseum in Los Angeles so

524
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,160
the Rams lead the Western Conference with five victories one loss the Detroit

525
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,880
Lions and the 49ers are tied for second spot with four victories and two defeats

526
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:08,480
now the 49ers can gear themselves up and take the LA Rams for the second time

527
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,680
this year remember they beat them in that excruciatingly throwback game back

528
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,880
on about October the 4th here in the same stadium 31 to 30 well soon it'll be

529
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,280
a three-way tie again how long about this time next Sunday afternoon but

530
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,320
that's a long way in the future seven days and about two and one half hours of

531
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:53,280
football to be exact
