- 0:07On Sunday, November 3rd, 1968, the Chicago Bears faced the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field for week 8 of the 1968 NFL season.
- 0:16Chicago was coached by Jim Dooley in his first year as head coach.
- 0:20Owner and general manager George Hallis had coached the Bears for most of the previous 48 seasons, dating back to the founding of the team and the NFL itself in 1920.
- 0:29Green Bay entered the 1968 season as back-to-back NFL champions, having won the first two Super Bowls under coach Vince Lombardi.
- 0:37Shortly after the victory in Super Bowl II, Lombardi resigned as head coach of the Packers and continued as general manager.
- 0:44He handed the head coaching position to Phil Bengston, a longtime assistant.
- 0:48This audio recording features announcers Jack Brickhouse, Irv Kupcinet, and Frank Babcock.
- 1:48This could be some afternoon.
- 1:50All right, they have Carrollville, a foot away on the left, they have Boyd-Dowdard, a foot away to the right.
- 1:54They have a very wide loose backfield to Green Bay Packers, far-struck quarterbacking.
- 1:58You have Simpson, Donnie Anderson on the backfield. A handoff to Anderson, sweeps around the left side, runs around John Dawson.
- 2:03However, he forced him to go pretty wide and deep in order to avoid his lines, and consequently, he lost a couple of yards trying to make the turn because suddenly Lloyd Phillips of the Bears was there to down him.
- 2:13So the first running play by the Green Bay Packers in this ballgame involves a two-yard loss.
- 2:18That's going to be now second down, 12 yards to go for the Green Bay Packers who huddle back on their five-yard line.
- 2:23On the defense for the Bears, they break the huddle.
- 2:25We see the up front men are Lloyd Phillips and Edelbradovich, right and left, and respectively.
- 2:28The interior men are John Johnson and Keevey.
- 2:31Middle linebackers, usual buckets, with Fernel on the right, up in the line is Frimish, and Doug LaFontaine on the left, up in the line.
- 2:36That gives the Bears a six-man rush.
- 2:37The handoff to Anderson tries the other side this time.
- 2:40He's in the middle of the hole, into the secondary, and down at the 28-yard line.
- 2:44Very good run.
- 2:45Made himself ten yards on that run before Bunker and Patabone combined to make the tackle.
- 2:49That's going to make it now third down, about two yards to go for a first down.
- 2:53It's the right side of the Packer offense.
- 2:55This is very, very good blocking.
- 2:58Very intermatched.
- 2:59That was like Jerry Kramer and Morris Gregg, a couple of veterans.
- 3:01Kramer had 11 years of that, and Morris Gregg a 12-year man.
- 3:04And Mark Plumming, the tie-down offense, had to turn the linebacker a little bit on that one.
- 3:07And as a result, Don Anderson was able to cut inside the linebacker and the defensive left end
- 3:12and make himself ten yards.
- 3:13That's going to make it third down and two.
- 3:15Third down, two.
- 3:16Mark Starr, probing, as he always does during the first part of the ballgame.
- 3:20Handoff to Elijah Pitz.
- 3:21Same play, and this time the Bears are ready.
- 3:23He's upended by Benny McCrae.
- 3:25The Pink Dogs on the play, with John Johnson also helping.
- 3:29They lost perhaps a yard.
- 3:31Maybe, yes, we'll give them about a one or maybe a two-yard loss.
- 3:33Football down now on the 17-yard line, and now it becomes fourth down,
- 3:37three yards to go for the first down.
- 3:39That means that Green Bay will probably punt the football.
- 3:41Zick Gordon is going to be deep, along with Gale Sayers,
- 3:43anticipating the punt from Don Anderson.
- 3:45Remember last year at Beard Cup when this guy fooled everybody and ran about 30 yards.
- 3:49He won on a fake punt, just like Gary Lyles did last week against the Minnesota Vikings.
- 3:54And that turned out to be a turning point in that game.
- 3:56Here's a high pass to center.
- 3:58Here's the boot.
- 3:59He gets it away.
- 4:00Nobody touches him.
- 4:01And a fair catch called for by Sayers, who juggled the ball momentarily.
- 4:05And it is down there now, empty 23-yard line.
- 4:09Still the Bears, defense hold, the first and 10 for the Chicago Bears.
- 4:12A 50-yard boot net drop, shriveled by the Packers on that one.
- 4:15And still the Bears take over first and 10 in the offense.
- 4:18Bears in their white traveling uniforms with the orange and blue number Oaks, dark blue.
- 4:23And when they break that level, it's usually Virgil Carter has lined up where?
- 4:27Virgil Carter, the quarterback.
- 4:29Denny, a tight left hand.
- 4:31What a way right end of court.
- 4:33Out here on the left is one.
- 4:34A deduced backfielder, Bullis, there's a hand off to Gale.
- 4:36Gets a block from George.
- 4:37He feels a knock, either down.
- 4:39He's reached the left side and gets across to 25 to about the 27-yard line.
- 4:43Nischke making the tackle.
- 4:45Nischke and Brown, I'm going to be the south.
- 4:47Brown coming up from the secondary also to help out on that one.
- 4:50Brown is number 40 on that ball, club.
- 4:52And so now, with second down, the Chicago Bears on that particular play made themselves a few yards.
- 4:57However, it looks like a walk off.
- 4:59The Shane Yang has not moved.
- 5:00The brown indicator remains the same.
- 5:03And here's a walk off against the Bears.
- 5:05Oh, boy.
- 5:06Very first play for the Chicago Bears.
- 5:08Put the ball all the way back down the 13-yard line.
- 5:12And Pat Haggerty indicates a personal foul, a clipping foul by the Chicago Bears.
- 5:17The Chicago Bears are going to make it now, second down.
- 5:21And 21 yards to go for a first down for the Bears.
- 5:25No score. We're in the first quarter here at Green Bay.
- 5:28Beautiful day. Just ideal.
- 5:30All right.
- 5:31Hike pile over that ball.
- 5:33Virgil Carter hikes his number to right on this one.
- 5:36And Gale Thirth goes into a double spot to the right along with Cecil Turner.
- 5:40Long count.
- 5:41Here's a hike towards the tackle now by 20-yard.
- 5:44A couple minutes to deal.
- 5:46In the same body on this long count, it would have been an audible.
- 5:50Moves across the line of coming before the ball was passed off.
- 5:53One leader's going to walk up against the Bears.
- 5:55Five yards with put the ball inside the 10.
- 5:57Now all the way back to the seven-yard line.
- 6:00The ball is just there.
- 6:01They know it's across the seven-yard line.
- 6:03And there's the most penalized team in football.
- 6:06Martina Rye with clipping at offside.
- 6:10And the Bears and school are the reds there.
- 6:13In the face of one play.
- 6:15First and 22.
- 6:16All right. Alan Hunley come now.
- 6:18That makes it now first and 26 yards to go for the first down.
- 6:21In the loose backfield.
- 6:23Sayers and Ronnie Ball in the loose backfield for the Bears.
- 6:25Foul.
- 6:26Depth of all.
- 6:27A handoff now to Ronnie Ball.
- 6:28And he drives the middle.
- 6:29He gets himself a few yards.
- 6:30They're trying to get out where they can breathe.
- 6:31He pulls his way up to about the 11-yard line.
- 6:33Bottom down on the tackle.
- 6:34Nitski as usual.
- 6:35For the Green Bay Packers, the up front men are Willie Davis, Ron Kisalik, Hank Jordan,
- 6:40and Lionel Aldridge, some pretty familiar up front men.
- 6:43The middle linebackers, Nitski Blank on the right by Leo R. Kafein,
- 6:46on the left by Dave Robinson.
- 6:47And these are among the absolute batter.
- 6:49They're not only in the game today but also in their era.
- 6:52Natalie, Tommy Brown, Willie Wood, Bob Deeter are the defensive backs for this ball club.
- 6:57And they all know what they're doing down there pretty well too.
- 6:59Her badly is coming out as one of the defensive backs.
- 7:03Once again, a Bear alignment comes across the line a little too.
- 7:06And this time it was Wachowska.
- 7:11And Nitski and George Seale get into it a little bit.
- 7:13A few hard words are being exchanged.
- 7:16And here's another walk off against the Bears.
- 7:18Five yards this time, putting the ball back on the six yard line.
- 7:21Oh, brother.
- 7:22Come down to your play, Owen.
- 7:24Well, Jack, I can only explain it by saying the Bears are so eager today to get out there
- 7:28and really hit those Green Bay Packers.
- 7:30As I said earlier, they're highly in and way up there, very emotional,
- 7:34very determined to make a good performance of their game here today.
- 7:37That they are committing these fouls, it's coming, a team is so emotionally so high.
- 7:42Here we go, Jack.
- 7:43Ducking in 27 for the Bears.
- 7:44The ball is on the Bear six yard line.
- 7:45A hand off the third, good turn off of the right, Seale blocked for him, Seale blocked for him.
- 7:49Go to Randy Jackson.
- 7:50He's up to the 50, he's up to the 20.
- 7:51He's up to the 25.
- 7:53He's almost spun away from the last tackleer, but he was down at the 28 yard line.
- 7:57Willie Davis finally managed to get a hand on him, and hold him just long enough for Tom Brown
- 8:02to come up and help make the tackle.
- 8:03And a dunk for a minute here was going to spin away from both of them.
- 8:06Well, that gets them out there where they can breathe now.
- 8:08Putting the ball up on the 29 yard line.
- 8:10Final stop.
- 8:1123 yards he's spinning them now, and that makes it down to the third down for the Bears.
- 8:15And just about four yards to go for a first down, and believe me, that was quite an important run by Mr. Gale Diz.
- 8:22Wouldn't it be something if they got their first down instead of downs after all, huh?
- 8:25With all that maneuvering around down there.
- 8:28Okay, they're all lined up, it certainly could happen.
- 8:31Third down, let's see if Tom comes up with a pass or whether he continues to run the ball.
- 8:37Broke out, here's the snap, here's a hand up the stairs, and he ties the middle.
- 8:41No good.
- 8:4230 yards, down at the 30 yard line.
- 8:45Now, selling cards in there.
- 8:47The blockers haven't been so loud all weekend.
- 8:49Would be blockers, and broke up the play.
- 8:51So now with fourth down, it's going to be fourth down, three yards to go for the first down for the Bears.
- 8:56The ball's clearly on the 30 yard line.
- 8:58That means now that we get a look at our new runner, Mr. John Kilgore, who has replaced Bobby Joe Green.
- 9:05He was apparently out for the season.
- 9:08So John Kilgore, wearing number 80, keep that in mind.
- 9:11Next week at the Wrigley Field, we'll watch the Bears get down at the go.
- 9:15New kick from just about the 19 yard line.
- 9:19Twin safety at the 30 for Green Bay.
- 9:21The wind not too much of a factor at this moment.
- 9:23Here's the booth by Kilgore, it's a good one, a high, fairly deep punt going out of the 26 yard line.
- 9:27And giving ground on this one now is Willie Wood.
- 9:30And as he starts to circle, he gets across to 25, and as far as the 27 before being knocked down by Rudy Kuchenberg.
- 9:36And that takes care of that.
- 9:37Willie Wood returning at just about two yards net, a 44 yard booth, two yard return.
- 9:4244 yards from the line of scrimmage.
- 9:44Green Bay's ball.
- 9:45So Green Bay and the Chicago Bears were just about even in the exchange of pucks.
- 9:51Because the ball is placed down now at the 28 yard line of the Green Bay Packers.
- 9:56Smart style of the quarterback, clever, sharp, smart, experienced, crafty, cool.
- 10:03And here's the first pass of the ball game.
- 10:05And he hits the standout.
- 10:07And now, some behind by Richie Pettibone at the Bear 44 yard line.
- 10:14For the first time, one ball for our ball, three balls in the other ball club territory now.
- 10:22Packers ball, first and second to go.
- 10:24And on that play, that passing play from the 27 yard line to the 46 yard line of the Bears.
- 10:2927 yards altogether.
- 10:30The first and 10 now for Green Bay.
- 10:32Put away to the left, Carol Dale.
- 10:34Out here to the right is Lloyd Donald.
- 10:35The news track view for the Packers now involves Anderson and Elijah Pitts, who seems to have their job won.
- 10:41Grabowski's ailing a little bit.
- 10:42Here's a handoff to Elijah.
- 10:44Leaps off the right side, and as he starts to cut in, he just does get across to 45 yard line for the 44.
- 10:49Rosie Taylor coming up to the secondary, and Lloyd Phillips moving out to get a pursuit angle tackle on him.
- 10:55Putting the ball up to 44 yard line, which now means it is going to be about eight minutes and 14 seconds to go in the first quarter.
- 11:01Green Bay's ball, second down, eight yards to go for a first down.
- 11:04In the second period, the St. Louis Cardinals 14, the Philadelphia Eagles 7.
- 11:08In the first period, Pittsburgh 14, the Atlanta Falcons nothing.
- 11:11First we'll wrap them all with scores.
- 11:13Ball in the 44 yard line.
- 11:15Way out there to the left is Carol Dale. Set up for this ball club is Kenny Balman, a real bet.
- 11:21Here's the snap, a handoff now to Anderson.
- 11:23Over left guard he goes, and there's the flag gone on this play, and it looks like the penalty might be against the Bears offside.
- 11:33Headlinesman coming from over on the far side, as Gary Burtman indicating, as I thought, that the penalty was on the Bears,
- 11:41and here's the walk off against them, putting the ball now on the Bears, 39 yard line.
- 11:47Offside against the Chicago Bears, and the Packers of course are only too happy to accept that penalty.
- 11:51That makes it now second down, four yards to go for a first down for Green Bay.
- 11:55No score in this first quarter, but believe me, the Packers, anytime they get inside your 40 yard line, are now in what might be termed scoring position.
- 12:02And today's the best of the football, that can be true of most any ball club, the way they can kick those field goals.
- 12:07Out of the huddle come the Packers again, Bale goes way out there to the left, and he's picked up by Joe Taylor.
- 12:11On this side, Roy Downer, one of the great pass catchers in the Clutch, is picked up by Benny McCray.
- 12:15The deuce backfield involved, Pitts now, Donnie Anderson, really long count, could be an audible.
- 12:20Here's the handoff now, and it goes to the running halfback on the right side.
- 12:26Don Anderson who tried the middle of the line, and the Bears were pretty ready for him on that play.
- 12:30John Johnson pinching it open, also bucked this line back, Gino Bradovich, they all got involved in that.
- 12:35But the ball was moved through the 40 yard line, making it now third down, and still, four yards to go for a first down.
- 12:41Seven minutes and 25 seconds to go in the first quarter of Green Bay, no score in this football game.
- 12:45It's a real head-bomber, and so far the defense has taken over.
- 12:49The most impressive yardage has been by penalty, except for the one pass, the 27 yard pass by Bart Starr to Don Anderson.
- 12:57Don Anderson of course, a good running back, round up the middle of this one.
- 13:02Third down.
- 13:05And here's the trap play, the halfback, Elijah Pitts moving the ball, almost a first down yardage.
- 13:11It's going to be close, but I don't think he made it.
- 13:14A trap play, a good fake.
- 13:16On the draw.
- 13:17Old draw.
- 13:22And now they're going to have to measure at just about the Chicago Bear 37 yard line.
- 13:27It's going to be fourth down, a little over a yard to go for a first down, coming in now are Mike Riley and Major Hazelton,
- 13:33replacing Dick Kutkus, who we hope is in full strength again today.
- 13:37Certainly he's well enough to play, and Joe Taylor going out.
- 13:40Now with fourth down, the ball fairly well into Bear territory, the ball at the Bear 37 yard line.
- 13:46Coming in is Errol Mann from the University of North Dakota, 27 year old 200 pounder who's going to attempt a field goal from the 44 yard line.
- 13:56It is no good, never had a chance into the end zone.
- 14:03And so the Bears take over first and 10.
- 14:07Chicago Bears now have themselves another opportunity to get a march underway.
- 14:13Time out on the field, we'll return before action in just one minute.
- 14:18Bears ball, first and 10 on Errol.
- 14:24Bears ball, first and 10 on their own 20 yard line.
- 14:28No score in this football game, 6.08 to go in the first quarter.
- 14:32Virgil Kahn of the quarterback marks it out, here's the snap, the hand up to Bears, over the middle he goes.
- 14:36Got a pretty good hold there, he had to slow up a little bit for Wataska, again from hitting him.
- 14:40And he's darted to his right and still moves for more important yardage forward across the 30 yard line.
- 14:46He's going to be down to the 31, that's the first down for the Bears.
- 14:49Woody Davis made the tackle on him and Wataska, of course, after making his initial press, had to straighten up a little bit.
- 14:55He was looking for somebody else to try to block and in the meantime, Bears had to kind of run around him.
- 14:59Bob was also involved, however, in making the initial hole, he was able to make his yardage anyway.
- 15:04So it's first and 10 now for Bears, the ball is on the 31 yard line.
- 15:08Bears 31 yard line, here's the hand off to Ronnie Bull, head down and man, he really plows in there hard.
- 15:14He follows his way across that 35 to the 36 or 7. Randy Jackson helping with the blocking that time.
- 15:20Randy Jackson and George Seals, a bottom-out on the tackle, number 74.
- 15:25Boy, a lot of people have seen that number for years.
- 15:27Mr. Henry Jordan up here, he's been around a little while.
- 15:29This is his 12th year in this league, 6'3", 250 pounder.
- 15:33Saw Hong Hanon on the plane last night, he's been counting for somebody.
- 15:36And of course, he's on the coaching staff here.
- 15:38And Old Dave was another one of those.
- 15:40Along with George, you think of him and Willie Davis all in the same breath with this ball club up here.
- 15:444.57 to go in the first quarter, bottom of the 36 yard line, second down, 5 for the Bears.
- 15:50Here's the staff, Prouder handing off to Sayers.
- 15:53And he cuts inside Cadil, who makes the block.
- 15:55And Gale on a real fancy cutback, moves the ball almost to first down, just about to the 40 yard line, maybe the 41.
- 16:03That was a pretty cute cutback, huh?
- 16:05That was a devised play by Gale on the field, improvised we should say, because he's only throwing a bigger opening than the one the Bears is supposed to make for more tackle.
- 16:13Incidentally, Jack, the Bears' strategy, game plan is pretty well established right now.
- 16:17They're going to sock it to them on the ground.
- 16:19They're going to run as much as possible and throw as little as possible.
- 16:22And when necessary, of course, they will go through the air.
- 16:25But basically, the game plan is to move that ball against the Packers on the ground, and they feel they can do it.
- 16:30And today, they have been moving the ball very well.
- 16:32Gale Sayers is on the verge of starting out for one of his better days.
- 16:36We're up to about 50 yards already in the first quarter of his ball game.
- 16:40So Jack, this is going to be an interesting development that the Bears can keep going on the ground.
- 16:46This is a game plan that's going to lead to a good deal of success.
- 16:49Gale has averaged slightly over 6 yards per carry again this year.
- 16:53Right now, if they can get about 2 1⁄2 inches, they've got a first set of hours.
- 16:56This third down, a couple of free inches to go for a first down looks like the ball at the 41-yard line, no score, 419 to go in the first quarter.
- 17:03And here's the quarterback sneak by Carter as expected.
- 17:05And he's got his first down easily.
- 17:09There was a flag down on the play.
- 17:11Let's see what this one's all about.
- 17:13The ball has been advanced to the 43-yard line, but wipe it out.
- 17:17It's a walk-off against the Bears.
- 17:19Ooh, brother.
- 17:20Putting the ball back now just across the 35.
- 17:22We'll call it the 36-yard line.
- 17:24Now, Dick Gordon coming in on the sideline for the Bears.
- 17:27Cecil Turner is in there now for the Chicago Bears.
- 17:29Carter, still quarterback in the ball.
- 17:30Gale Boston, Denny out, and Bob Wallace comes in.
- 17:345'3", 211 pounder from Texas at El Paso, a fellow who has got the makings of one of the better pass catchers in this league.
- 17:42Caught a real hot touchdown pass last week when they needed to promote it.
- 17:45So now Wallace is actually lining up a couple of steps away from the right tackle for the win of the leftist, Cecil Turner.
- 17:50It's third down, 6 yards to go.
- 17:52There's a pass now by Carter.
- 17:54He lost the ball, batted down by Herb Adderley, jumped right over Wallace's shoulder,
- 18:00took a hand in front of his chest, and deflected the ball towards the ground at the 45-yard line.
- 18:06And there was a big loss in the crowd because there was a very, very, that was a close call because that could have been interference.
- 18:12Yes.
- 18:13If anything, Carter held the ball just a little bit too long, Jack, and gave the defense a chance to get a hand on it.
- 18:18He felt getting rid of the ball by a split second sooner I think it would have been a completion of the first down.
- 18:23It was a little bit unusual too because one of his talents is the fact that he releases quickly.
- 18:27And this, of course, is the mark of a good quarterback.
- 18:29Fourth down, the Bears going to have to punt.
- 18:31Kilgore back, he'll kick from about the 24.
- 18:34Gets it away, ooh, it's a wobbly boot, no bargain at all.
- 18:36Comes down and back or land at the 30, bounces forward, takes a bear bounce inside the 20.
- 18:41They caught a break on this one.
- 18:42The ball is going to be down at the 17-yard line.
- 18:44Big break for the Bears on that one.
- 18:46No bargain. 48 yards net, however, from Scrummage.
- 18:49And so Green Bay has been pushed back into their own country.
- 18:52It looks like we're going to wind up with the real head-pumping in the lie.
- 18:573.50 to go in the first quarter.
- 18:59Timeout.
- 19:00Players about to resume Packers ball, first and 10 to go, back in their own 17-yard line.
- 19:04Barstar hands off to Elijah Fitz.
- 19:05He tries right guard.
- 19:06He is stripped up, knocked off balance by Edelbradovich and forced to the ground by Dick Butkus before the play is over.
- 19:13Made his couple of three yards.
- 19:14Put the ball down now at just about the 20-yard line, making a second down.
- 19:18Seven yards to go for the first down for the Green Bay Packers.
- 19:20The clock ticking away with these running plays.
- 19:223.33 to go in the first quarter.
- 19:24We've only had a couple of passes in this overball game.
- 19:27Barstar completed one for 27 to Anderson, and the Chicago Bears' attempt was deflected as an incomplete pass by Herb Adderley.
- 19:35It's going to be second down now, 3.25 to go in the first quarter.
- 19:38No score here at Green Bay.
- 19:40The phone, and for now, both up on the line, the linebackers as the running play unfolds.
- 19:45And it is a slam play to the left by Elijah Fitz, taking the handoff as usual from Barstar.
- 19:50And it was Dick Eby who broke up the play.
- 19:53Let's take five seconds for the break.
- 19:55This is the WGN, Chicago Bears football network.
- 19:58This is WGN Radio Chicago, Illinois and Michigan on WGN, next Saturday at 12.10.
- 20:04They're third down now, 3.00 yards to go for a first down for the Pack.
- 20:12They're on the 25-yard, 24-yard line up, Green Bay.
- 20:15Bowman over that ball, Barstar under him.
- 20:17Again, the six-man rush for the Bears, almost 7-as-butt, just wants to go right up on that line.
- 20:21Here's the handoff on the delay to Donnie Anderson.
- 20:23No gain to amount to anything on this one.
- 20:25He got to the line, and again it was Butch, his right, no good play, along with Eby who broke up the would-be blocking.
- 20:30A good blocking attempt by Gil Gillingham was really sent aroud that play by Eby.
- 20:35Consequently, he is shy of first down yardage, it looks like.
- 20:38He fell across the line as close as he was hit.
- 20:40Possibly his momentum as he stretched for the ball might have carried him to the first down.
- 20:44It's got to be very, very close.
- 20:47And he misses it by about a foot and a half.
- 20:49That makes it now fourth down, little less than a yard to go, about half a yard to go for a first down for the Green Bay Packers.
- 20:57And if you were the Pack, what would you do in this particular spot?
- 21:01No score, 2.27 to go.
- 21:03And of course the ball is fairly beating Packer territory, so that means they're going to punch.
- 21:12Donnie Anderson, a left-footed cooter, is going to kick.
- 21:15He'll get the kick away from about the 17-yard line.
- 21:17Perfect pass from Santa.
- 21:18There's the kick. High, carries well.
- 21:21Fair catch indicated by Dick Gordon.
- 21:24However, the ball started to wobble a little and so Dick decided to just move away and let her hit the ground and do what she wants to do.
- 21:30It was too risky to try to catch this ball.
- 21:32The ball is on the 31-yard line, 41 yards, and that's okay.
- 21:36So the Bears gained a little as they exchanged the putters in the first quarter.
- 21:40And just about 2.04 to go in the first quarter at Green Bay Bears ball.
- 21:48One of the advantages of Mr. Anderson is that his putts carry so high.
- 21:51They carry about as high as any putter in the league.
- 21:54You have to go up in those lines that have time to get down under that putt.
- 21:57They have plenty of time to get down there under those boots.
- 22:01All right, Bears ball, first and 10 to go, and they're all 31-yard line.
- 22:04No score in this first quarter.
- 22:06And here's Gale Sayers on the handoff.
- 22:07Over the middle he goes.
- 22:08He's got a better inside as well as outside runners because he has power in those legs.
- 22:12He advances the ball up a 34-yard line.
- 22:14Bottom man on the tackle, Ray Nitschke, one of the toughest of the tough.
- 22:19Give him three, make it second down seven.
- 22:22Bears ball, second period, Pittsburgh 21, Atlanta nothing.
- 22:25The seat is coming to life.
- 22:26Second period, St. Louis 14, the Philadelphia Eagles 10.
- 22:29In the first period, Baltimore 3, the New York Giants nothing.
- 22:34As Baltimore returns to play the Giants up there at New York after that championship game
- 22:39was several years ago indicated by many as one of the greatest football games ever played.
- 22:43Here's a handoff to Sayers again.
- 22:45Carter really employs Gale Sayers as Gale now advances the ball up a 39-yard line.
- 22:50You know, he's giving Sayers quite a workout here, Cup, but he's running plays.
- 22:54And I remember Carter being quoted last week as saying possibly one of his mistakes last week
- 23:00was employing Gale too much after a real long run.
- 23:03He then came back with him and ran him on the next play and he kind of wished he hadn't done that.
- 23:07Here's another walk-off.
- 23:08Well, here we go again, a walk-off against the Bears with about a minute to go in the first quarter.
- 23:13Let's see what it is this time. It's illegal procedure.
- 23:16Somebody on the stronger Bear line might hold a little bit too soon.
- 23:19There's probably somebody in the backfield.
- 23:21Probably somebody in the backfield. We did not see the infraction.
- 23:24It is going to be second down, 12 yards to go for the first down, second down, 12 yards.
- 23:28There's never a slot to the right.
- 23:29Dick Gordon's put away to the right. So the Bears are putting the right zone this time.
- 23:33If there's going to be a pass, it probably will be down to the right side.
- 23:36Here's the snap, there's the Carter, and here's a handoff to Sayers, and Gale comes to a standing stop.
- 23:41Down at the 33-yard line, and George Dehove came in there high with an arm flying.
- 23:48And Ray Nitschke has just moved into him again once more, and I believe he has warned him.
- 23:52George, you don't do that anymore. That's enough of that.
- 23:55Anyway, the play holds up.
- 23:58And with just seconds to go in the very, very first quarter, no score.
- 24:04The ball is now on the 33-yard line where it becomes the Bears' ball, third at eight.
- 24:09They got back to penalty yard. They had a couple to go.
- 24:12And this first quarter's moving along pretty well because, of course, you have running plays.
- 24:16They eat up the block a lot more than passing plays.
- 24:18And now here's Turner, started off to the right suddenly, realizes he's gotten it wrong, and goes to the slot to the left.
- 24:24Carter waits for him and gets set. Here's Carter rolling around to the right.
- 24:27He may keep it. He gets a block from Field, that's a deal, and he dribs, trying to cut away from Willie Davis.
- 24:33It looked like he flipped and lost his balance and was down at the 37-yard line.
- 24:40Dye a first down yard by two or three yards, and there's the quarter.
- 24:43The first quarter is over, and there's no score.
- 24:47The gun ending the first quarter, the Bears, nothing, and the Green Bay Packers, nothing.
- 24:51We're back on the air here. The score in the East is Baltimore 10, New York nothing in the second period.
- 25:04Here is the Green Bay. It's nothing, nothing. The Chicago Bears.
- 25:07And that's about as even a first quarter, Jack, as I guess you could find anywhere.
- 25:11Nobody had any advantage. Nobody could penetrate that third down for a continuing thrust.
- 25:16Here we go, Jack.
- 25:17Willie Wooden-Brown of the deep end for the Packers as Kilgore gets his putt away from the Bears, 28.
- 25:22It's a low putt, but it carries fairly well.
- 25:24Taking up a 20-yard line by Wood, backs up to the 17.
- 25:27Now he reverses and starts up field in the semicircle.
- 25:29He's knocked down by Joe Taylor and finally out of bounds by Keurig and by Ebe.
- 25:34Advancing the ball then to the 26-yard line.
- 25:37A 44-yard boot, 5-yard return, net 39 to the Bears from their lineup scrimmage,
- 25:41and that puts the ball now in the Packer possession.
- 25:43The first one's had to go for Green Bay on their own 25-yard line.
- 25:47It's got him out by Ruffalo Heggety. No score.
- 25:51All right. Last year up here, the Green Bay-Chicago Bear game was a 13-10 final with Denver
- 25:58kicking a field goal from way out there in the closing seconds of the game.
- 26:01Not too much unlike the one that Mack Percival came up with last week.
- 26:07Here's the snap, a handoff now to Anderson.
- 26:09He finds himself what appeared to be a hole on the slant off the right side.
- 26:13However, suddenly a big arm appeared and grabbed him around the waist,
- 26:17that arm owned by Buccus and by Lloyd-Sullis,
- 26:19and he was slowed up and suddenly coming up also to help out with Ebe.
- 26:23And over out of it, Dan, as a result, a short gain on the play when it started out
- 26:27looked like a good enough to make a good game.
- 26:29Football on 27.
- 26:31Put the ball then at the 27-yard line.
- 26:33Second down, 8 yards to go for the first down.
- 26:35Down the second quarter now, no score.
- 26:39Up on the forward wall for the Bears, the usual force of Philip, John Johnson, Ebe,
- 26:45Obradovich, the snap, the trap play, pull back trap.
- 26:49And it's difficult since there's a lot of daylight here.
- 26:51He's off to 30 and up to the 35-yard line.
- 26:54You don't see him coming up to the secondary.
- 26:56Well, now something reversing again.
- 26:58He's come behind on the angle.
- 27:00Managed to knock him down, but not before he got across to 35
- 27:03and he's 36-yard line.
- 27:05And the Bears, he's going to have to pull a little bit on that one.
- 27:079 yards on that play and it looked like he was going to make a good deal more than 9
- 27:11before it was all over.
- 27:12It'll be a first down then for Green Bay.
- 27:14First and 10 to go in their own 36-yard line.
- 27:18The Bears secondary still involved Richie Pettibone, the pre-safety, is Rosy Taylor.
- 27:25Motorback center Joe Taylor, Benny McCray, and they're up on the line of scrimmage right now.
- 27:29They'll be bumping a little bit with those ends that are spread out.
- 27:33Here's Charles, the receiver, and he's down.
- 27:35He's got football and he's down for a big loss.
- 27:37Kyle Branovich and Boyd Finister-Kane converging from their end position.
- 27:41And Bartzda, the large, heavy quarterback that he is, runs it in throw,
- 27:47desperately, but later somebody was covered, ate the ball, took the big loss,
- 27:50putting the ball back on the 23-yard line, and that was a good loss too.
- 27:54A 5, 10, 12 or 13-yard loss on the play, minus 13 that makes it now.
- 28:00Second down, 23 yards to go for a first down for the Green Bay Packers,
- 28:04huddling now between the 10- and 15-yard line in their orange-yellow type pants,
- 28:09same color helmet, their dark green jerseys, white numerals.
- 28:1612th team has come in for Green Bay, and it's going off to the right.
- 28:19Mark Fleming is the tight right end.
- 28:24He's there now too.
- 28:25And here's a pass and it's caught by Elijah Pitz, who was down and bumped out of bounds
- 28:29by Benny McCray from the secondary of the 27, 28-yard line.
- 28:35Elijah Pitz taking the pass.
- 28:37There was a blank out.
- 28:41And it looks like this one finally is going to be against Green Bay Cup
- 28:44because the Bears have the option, judging from the way the discussion is going,
- 28:48Dick Butt just talking it over with referee Haggerty.
- 28:51Several penalties were charged against the Bears in the first quarter.
- 28:55Now here in the second quarter, the first real penalty it looks like is against the Green Bay Packers, the Bears,
- 29:01are going to turn down a holding penalty.
- 29:08It would have been a 15-yard penalty, but the Bears actually caused the Packers to use up and down,
- 29:16and having gotten such a huge loss at Mark Dard's expense on the previous play,
- 29:22since it's now third down and 16 yards to go for a first down,
- 29:25they're better off to leave it that way rather than let the Packers get that down back even though they gained 15 yards.
- 29:33No score.
- 29:34Twelve minutes, 38 seconds to go in the second quarter.
- 29:36Out of the tunnel they come.
- 29:38Carroll Dale flying to the right.
- 29:40James is way out there to the right.
- 29:42Picked up a one-on-one by Major Hazelton who's in the ball game now.
- 29:45Richie Predebon keeping a real weather eye on that slot man.
- 29:48The snap, back-gold star.
- 29:50Looks like he wants a pass.
- 29:51He waits, he throws, and he hits it.
- 29:53Forty and he's down at the 45-yard line.
- 29:56Knockdown by Dick Buckett.
- 30:01And again, Mr. Barstar threading the needle.
- 30:03They got their first down.
- 30:0517 yards on that play, moving the ball up at the 45-yard line.
- 30:11They did not get their first down.
- 30:13They're in action.
- 30:15They are fourth and one.
- 30:16They almost got their first down.
- 30:19Now with fourth down and one, the ball at the 45-yard line.
- 30:25Up the Packers.
- 30:27Anderson will probably punt.
- 30:30No score.
- 30:3111.55 to go in the first half.
- 30:38Kickers away at the 35.
- 30:40That's a really good pass.
- 30:43That's Naco into the end zone.
- 30:44It does go into the end zone.
- 30:46And Gale Sayers and Gary Meyer are delighted to let it go in there.
- 30:5055 yards, blue to plus, reduced by 20 yards.
- 30:53It'll be a touchback and be brought out to the 20-yard line.
- 30:57Timeout on the playing field.
- 30:5811.43 to go in the first half.
- 31:00Timeout on the playing field.
- 31:01Really time before action in just one minute.
- 31:05There's the ball.
- 31:06First and 10 to go on their 20.
- 31:07We have a scoreless game.
- 31:08The battle of the defenders.
- 31:09Here's Carter throwing a pass.
- 31:10It was in and out of Cecil Turner's fingers at the 30-yard line.
- 31:16And the only bad thing about one of those is that it's not caught.
- 31:20Well, when the ball is, you've got to kind of up in the air like that.
- 31:23And all those green jerseys are going for it.
- 31:25It kind of gives you a little heart failure.
- 31:27You see that ball hit the ground with fellows like Adderley and Brown and Jeter out there anyway.
- 31:32And you'd expect really to hold on to that ball.
- 31:34You know, that was pretty well grown.
- 31:36And he had a nice open field there for a substantial gain.
- 31:39So he just had a finger on the thing.
- 31:41Not enough really to hold possession.
- 31:44Here we go, Jack.
- 31:45Second down, 10.
- 31:47Bears bombing their own 20-yard line.
- 31:49No score in the second quarter at Green Bay.
- 31:51Three of us will receive it to the right.
- 31:54Carter sweeps it out to the left there.
- 31:56Almost a naked reverse this time.
- 31:57A naked keeper.
- 31:58And he is hit hard coming up with Nitschke.
- 32:01He was in a kind of a semicircle.
- 32:03Almost a figure eight before it was over.
- 32:04But he finally zeroed in on the ball, Gary, when he finally realized that Carter was carrying the ball himself.
- 32:09He hit him a jarring sack.
- 32:10But you can hear up here, wide in the open.
- 32:13Whoo, boy.
- 32:16Well, one thing about Mr. Carter, as somebody says, you can't ball his turkeys.
- 32:19This kid can take those hard bumps and still keep coming.
- 32:22Ball in the 25-yard line.
- 32:24Third down, five.
- 32:25He gets many more hits in the head like that.
- 32:27We'll make a sports announcement out of him now.
- 32:30Third down, five.
- 32:31Ten-fifty-eight to go in the second quarter.
- 32:34Out of the huddle they go.
- 32:36Split away to the left is Gordon.
- 32:38In the spot to the left is Gale Sayers.
- 32:40The only man in this eighth backfield then is Ronnie Bull.
- 32:42He is almost directly behind the quarterback.
- 32:44And here's the whistle.
- 32:45They've taken too much time.
- 32:46They've got the play underway.
- 32:47Thirty seconds is all they're allowed.
- 32:49And they are going to be the victims of a five-yard walk-off.
- 32:51Putting the ball back now to the 20-yard line.
- 32:53That means now it's going to be third down and ten.
- 32:57Third down, ten for the Chicago Bears.
- 33:00They huddle back on the ten-yard line.
- 33:03Bob Witaska has started today on the offense.
- 33:06He's still in there for the Bears.
- 33:08Ball on the play.
- 33:09Good to see him back in action.
- 33:10Mike Raybould is in the hotel.
- 33:11Yeah, I'm here to see the game with his beautiful wife Kathy from Bloomington, Indiana today.
- 33:15Sat around with Ed and Virginia McCaskill, the Bear family, and put some yards last night.
- 33:21It was a lot of fun.
- 33:22Matt back goes the ball.
- 33:24Carter, look, he waves.
- 33:25He throws up the middle and he hits Wallace.
- 33:27Twenty-five-yard line down almost immediately.
- 33:30He was surrounded quickly by Adderley, by Nischke, was backed up and by Willie Wood coming up from the secondary.
- 33:36But he still made himself a good pass, good for 15 yards.
- 33:40And that gives the Bears a first out.
- 33:45First and ten for the Bears as Virgil Carter finds the range.
- 33:48It's Wallace, by Wallace.
- 33:53As Cupp told you, the game plan plan for the Bears apparently appears to be he's just balling the ground and a little rock them and sock them.
- 34:04Here's the snap.
- 34:05Back goes Carter once more.
- 34:06Here's a pass up the middle.
- 34:08And again he hits his man, this time it's Turner who falls down making the catch.
- 34:12But he did make the catch at the 47-yard line.
- 34:15Completed pass.
- 34:16He's made the pass almost to the same spot, right up the middle, just over the line by Virgil Carter, once to Wallace, once to Turner, good for 12 yards that last time.
- 34:25That's going to make it first and ten as the Bears have reeled off two consecutive passing first outs.
- 34:30The first quarter was singularly free of passing by both of us.
- 34:34But now here in the second they've begun to try to gamble a little bit to try to find that race.
- 34:37Nine and a half minutes to go in the second quarter.
- 34:39No score.
- 34:40Carter handing off the Bears to Neil Block.
- 34:42And Gale just as he talked the cutback and turned in trying to duck Nipki who had charged on the red dot, fell down, face down on the ground, fell right on the ball.
- 34:52Nothing he could do about that one.
- 34:54And the Bears have simply lost themselves some yardage, which is going to happen once in a while, putting the ball back on the 46-yard line.
- 35:00They lost the yard, making it now second down and 11.
- 35:02Second down and 11.
- 35:04Austin Denny is starting off the field.
- 35:09Wallace has come in.
- 35:11Carter kneeling in the huddle back on the 35-yard line.
- 35:13They break the huddle.
- 35:14Mike Pyle over the ball, points to the left by Seals on the right by Caddiel.
- 35:17The right tackle with Tosca.
- 35:19The left tackle is Randy Jackson.
- 35:20Back goes Carter once more.
- 35:22He looks, he throws, and he hits his man just over the line.
- 35:24It's Ronnie Ball at midfield and Ronnie falls forward.
- 35:27They're looking to play for an extra yardage.
- 35:28It's a hit by Herb Adderley.
- 35:30And they've got a little yardage on that one.
- 35:32That's going to make it now third down for the Bears, roughly six yards to go.
- 35:36Give them a net on that one of five yards.
- 35:39They were at 11 to go.
- 35:42Ryan Piccolo is coming in.
- 35:43And Gale Sayers, who had the 40 ripped off the back of his, the four ripped off the 40 on the back of his jersey,
- 35:48is going to have to change jerseys again.
- 35:50They spent a lot of time in this league ripping jerseys off Gale Sayers.
- 35:54Sometimes you feel pretty lucky if you can get that much of him.
- 36:01Ryan Piccolo then in the eighth backfield with Ronnie Bull on the stop to the left.
- 36:07Wallace went away. Turner and Dick Gordon here to the right.
- 36:11And here he is. Carter rolling around.
- 36:13He makes the pass. Now he waits.
- 36:15He reverses himself just away from the faculty department field.
- 36:21And he's slammed hard to down by Robinson, moving in drive to 45.
- 36:26It's a 44-yard line.
- 36:27And Big Dave Robinson, the huge linebacker for Green Bay, 6'3", 240, a six-year bet.
- 36:33One of the most actual of all linebackers in the league, really slammed that kid hard.
- 36:38He almost rolled him up and put an apple in his mouth and handed them to the backers on the bench
- 36:43because that's where the play wanded up.
- 36:45Boy, he really hit him.
- 36:47And Carter almost disappeared with the time that was running out.
- 36:54They're going to measure to see if it's a first down.
- 36:56The ball is at the 44-yard line.
- 36:58Virgil Carter managed to outrun Bob Brown, the defensive end of that play, pretty well.
- 37:03And this is what sprang in then for the good run.
- 37:07About two feet shy, Mike Pyle, that he takes to the rest of the ball club.
- 37:107'42 to go in the second quarter.
- 37:12No score here at Green Bay.
- 37:13The Packers and the Bears battling away here in Green Bay.
- 37:16Boy, what a far cry this field is.
- 37:18And this stadium from the days when the Packers used to play up here,
- 37:21they'd come out on a streetcar and the people would park their cars.
- 37:24And the Packers' idea with no dressing would be to huddle in the end zone with blankets around
- 37:28and a big circle and the fans would come out and stand them, kibitzed the strategy,
- 37:32and some of them would make suggestions of what plays to use in the second quarter.
- 37:35Oh, Jack.
- 37:36Second half.
- 37:38They're going to go for it on fourth down to have the ball to the Green Bay 44-yard line.
- 37:43They're going to go for it.
- 37:44Oh, brother, what a gamble this is.
- 37:46And Carter loses the football.
- 37:48He falls on for a loss on the play.
- 37:50Green Bay takes over at the 46.
- 37:52There was a flag down on the play.
- 37:57There was a flag down.
- 38:01And the walk-off is against Green Bay.
- 38:03Oh, and the Bears going to break on that one.
- 38:05Oh, boy, offside against the Packers.
- 38:07That gives the Bears their first down.
- 38:09The ball on the 39-yard line that up Green Bay.
- 38:12How about that, Mr. Cutler?
- 38:14You do get a better look at the real thing, huh?
- 38:17That was really a break.
- 38:18Jack pointing it out, trying to get his anxiety and eagerness to pass off the ball.
- 38:22Fumbles a take from center and barely recovered it.
- 38:25And then the offside penalty, of course, made it possible for the Bears to continue their drive.
- 38:29Here we go, Jack.
- 38:30Okay, there's a big break.
- 38:31The ball on the 39.
- 38:32Bears ball on the Packer 39.
- 38:34No score.
- 38:35First and 10.
- 38:36Carter back.
- 38:37He has time.
- 38:38He has protection.
- 38:39He waits.
- 38:40He throws that ball.
- 38:41And it is knocked out by down at the 14.
- 38:42It's a 20-to-25.
- 38:43The 30.
- 38:44And it's knocked out of the 32-yard line by Cecil Turner.
- 38:49Virgil Carter going for the longest pass he's thrown so far today.
- 38:54He was going for the bomb, as they say.
- 38:56And the Packers went to throw that one coming here because there were three defenders already
- 39:02to really engulf that ball.
- 39:04And it was Tom Brown who did it, the Packers ball, now on their own 33-yard line.
- 39:08First and 10.
- 39:09Seven minutes and seven seconds.
- 39:11They're headed to the second quarter at Green Bay.
- 39:14Green Bay out of the huddle.
- 39:16Boyd Downers to the right.
- 39:17Liked out here to the left now is Carole Dale.
- 39:20Two wonderful receivers.
- 39:24Here's Bostar.
- 39:25Makes the handoff to 15.
- 39:26Watches him throw.
- 39:27He waits.
- 39:28He finally throws out here.
- 39:29And the plan is knocked by Mars.
- 39:30Letting the 90 out of the defense.
- 39:31It's across the 42-to-43 yard line.
- 39:38Down by Jimmy Pernell.
- 39:40The linebacker on the right for the Bears.
- 39:42Green Bay may have themselves a first down on that play.
- 39:46It is a first down.
- 39:51Putting the bomb, putting the 43- and 44-yard line.
- 39:53Give them another charge right now.
- 39:55We've got Mason now bursting down for the Bears.
- 39:57The Packers on their own 44.
- 39:59First and 10.
- 40:01Downer to the right.
- 40:02Carole Dale to the right.
- 40:03Deuce Brackfield.
- 40:04Donnie Anderson.
- 40:05And off to Elijah Pitts.
- 40:06Almost shoulder-to-shoulder directly behind the quarterback, Bart Star.
- 40:09Blowing over the ball.
- 40:10Single being barked out.
- 40:11Five-minute rush for the Bears.
- 40:12The handoff now to Donnie Anderson.
- 40:13Weeps around the left side.
- 40:14Gary Kramer blocking for him a little bit.
- 40:16And he advances the ball to midfield.
- 40:18Hit by two or three Bears.
- 40:20First man to make contact with the phone.
- 40:22Helped by Joe Seder and also Jimmy Pernell on the play.
- 40:25Ball just shy of midfield.
- 40:28And referee Haggarty is going to spot it down now.
- 40:30Lloyd Phillips of the Bears is shaking his fist in that defensive huddle.
- 40:34And employing these guys.
- 40:35Come on now.
- 40:36Let's hold it.
- 40:37We can do it.
- 40:38It's a good day to come to life for this ball club this year.
- 40:39Lloyd Phillips, a high draft choice, who was out with a lot of injury problems last year.
- 40:43But man, this big tough guy is in there for a while now.
- 40:45Looks like he stands six-three, weighs 240.
- 40:48This kid from Arkansas.
- 40:49And he's rough and tough.
- 40:50Second down.
- 40:51Four yards to go for the first down.
- 40:53Green baseball.
- 40:54The handoff to a pitt off right side.
- 40:56He goes.
- 40:57He's got a lot of blocking.
- 40:58He's got a big ball.
- 40:59And he's well into Bear territory.
- 41:00And the Bear 37-yard line.
- 41:02Sipped up by Pettiball.
- 41:03Knocked off.
- 41:04Down by Joe Saber.
- 41:05Ooh, man.
- 41:06Just inside the very 18.
- 41:09Calls the 18-yard line.
- 41:11First to stand out on the green back of the stand.
- 41:13That's about as big a hole as Mr. Pitts has had today.
- 41:15And he's had a couple of good ones.
- 41:17A 13-yard gain on that ball.
- 41:19Jack, incidentally, by a star.
- 41:21He's flown four times so far today.
- 41:22And completed four.
- 41:23He hasn't missed a pass yet so far.
- 41:25Although on one intensive pass, he was thrown for a 13-yard loss by Edelbrecht and the Bear defense.
- 41:30Here we go, Jack.
- 41:32They're lined up.
- 41:34Here's Star back again.
- 41:36He throws and he hits his hand.
- 41:38He hits that at Carrolldale at the Bear 25.
- 41:41And Bart Star tries to pick that Bear defense apart now with those 10-point passing drives.
- 41:47That one was good for 13.
- 41:49That's a 13-yard, 12-yards, 11-yards.
- 41:54These are the kinds of passes that Bart Star's making good on the course of the steady march.
- 41:58He's put the Bear down inside the 25-yard line at the Bear 24.
- 42:03Time out.
- 42:08413 to go in the second quarter.
- 42:10No score.
- 42:11We'll be back with more action in just a minute.
- 42:13They have the ball.
- 42:14The Bear 24-yard line, first and 10 for Green Bay.
- 42:17No score.
- 42:18But there's a big threat going now.
- 42:19The best the Packers have had.
- 42:20Here's Pitts.
- 42:21Tucked off left tackle.
- 42:22There's a little hole there.
- 42:23He's brought, however, to a fast-standing stop.
- 42:24And finally slammed the ground by Pettibon and by Butkus.
- 42:27Butkus, by the way, looks like the old Dick Butkus here so far this afternoon.
- 42:30He's rough and tough.
- 42:31The ball has been advanced to the Bear 22-yard line, given about two on that last play.
- 42:36Call a second down.
- 42:37Just a little over eight yards to go for, a little less than eight yards to go for the first down.
- 42:41Three minutes, 43 seconds to go in the first half here at Green Bay.
- 42:45The Bear defense and the Packer defense have certainly handled themselves beautifully this afternoon.
- 42:50It's been a defensive afternoon.
- 42:53Dowder to Dale both way to the right.
- 42:54Marpley, tight left end, very close to the left tackle on this play.
- 42:58Borman snaps the ball to Sparks.
- 43:01Dyer rolls out to the right bar.
- 43:02Now, look, throws to the left.
- 43:04And it is deflected away by Purnell.
- 43:07The target was a wide defense.
- 43:08It's simply an incomplete pass in the 12-yard line.
- 43:14Incomplete.
- 43:15Of course, you have to say the Packers are over the field goal right now.
- 43:18The man who tried their previous field goal has no field goals at all this year.
- 43:22He does have four extra points.
- 43:23Merstein has one and Kramer has four for Green Bay, but Bankson decided to use Mad to try to one field goal up as the Packers have made so far today.
- 43:35Three-26 to go in the first half at Green Bay.
- 43:38Again, they put Dowder and also Panadale way to the right.
- 43:42Donnie Anderson and Elijah Fitz and the News Pack feel almost shoulder to shoulder.
- 43:45They're almost put to the right, however, of the star.
- 43:48Here's the play.
- 43:49Up the middle he goes.
- 43:50And this time it's batted down as it was intended for Marv Fleming by Bunkus and by Joe Taylor.
- 43:57The kind of a pass over the middle that has been very successful for the Packers so far today.
- 44:01Once they got that close to the bear goal was Oliver broken up as things start to move in and pinch in a little bit.
- 44:06And now it looks like we're going to have another field goal effort by Harold Nass.
- 44:11Incidentally, Jack Dix Bunkus played that last one perfectly, knowing just when to drop back to defend against the pass.
- 44:19Dick, incidentally, is playing with a tremendous pain from bruised ribs.
- 44:24But he's in there playing, as Jack said, in his typical corrosive style.
- 44:27Here we go for the field goal.
- 44:28Field goal effort, the 34.
- 44:29Here's the boot.
- 44:30Look out.
- 44:31Now it is no good.
- 44:32It had the distance, but it did not have the direction.
- 44:35So again, the Bears are able to take over that ball after a Packers field goal at that first and 10-20 yard line.
- 44:41And the Packers rather have it for the moment.
- 44:44It is now Bears' ball, first time to go, 3.17 to go in the first half.
- 44:49Time out of the field.
- 44:50We'll return with more action in just one minute.
- 44:55The Goga Bears will have a chance to go in first place today if they can beat these Green Bay Packers.
- 44:59They have the ball on their own 20-carder.
- 45:00Hands up, the Gale Sayers.
- 45:01And the flat play by Gale, falling real hard across the 25 on that side.
- 45:07He refused to give up that seed.
- 45:08The ref was able to hang on to it like a bulldog, but not before Gale made himself eight on the play, making it second down two, putting the ball up a 28-yard line.
- 45:16No score.
- 45:17Two minutes and 58 seconds to go in the first half here at Lambeau Field in the Green Bay.
- 45:21Dick Gordon cutting off the field.
- 45:23That half time, a couple of reps, things up.
- 45:26Have some outstanding guts for you.
- 45:27Following the game, we'll have scores from all over.
- 45:29Our guest is going to be Max McGee, the famous pass catcher in the first Super Bowl, which Green Bay won.
- 45:35Here's the snap card, handing off to Sayers, right side.
- 45:39There's a little hole.
- 45:40He moves out here, shooting second there.
- 45:42He's at the 40, 45.
- 45:43He picks up the basket.
- 45:44He's running through the blockers.
- 45:45Touch to the left.
- 45:46He may do it.
- 45:47It's 30, 25, 20, 50.
- 45:50He's carrying down the nine-yard line.
- 45:53Oh, brother, Gale Sayers.
- 45:55No play.
- 45:56Going to play.
- 45:57Has pulled that ball all the way down to the Green Bay nine-yard line.
- 46:01Williward finally caught it and brothers 63 yards off that one.
- 46:05And the Bears have first and goal to go.
- 46:08This is one of the few times, if not the first time, that Sayers has hung to the right all day.
- 46:13Time out.
- 46:15We'll be back with the action in just a minute.
- 46:17Here's the quarterback.
- 46:19Carter looks for a receiver.
- 46:20Steve's not.
- 46:21And he tries to run with the ball.
- 46:22And he is caught from behind by Jordan.
- 46:24Henry Jordan.
- 46:25He turns his tackle.
- 46:26Moves it there.
- 46:27He's just getting by an ankle.
- 46:29That's Luzer's two-yard, puts the ball back on the 11-yard line.
- 46:33The Great Green Bay Packers defense now calls them on to do something.
- 46:37Quarterback Carter looks for a receiver.
- 46:41Steve's not.
- 46:42And he tries to run with the ball.
- 46:43And he is caught from behind by Jordan.
- 46:45Henry Jordan.
- 46:46He turns his tackle.
- 46:47Moves it there.
- 46:48He's just getting by an ankle.
- 46:50That's Luzer's two-yard, puts the ball back on the 11-yard line.
- 46:54The Great Green Bay Packers defense now calls them on to do something.
- 46:57The Bears have had it twice today.
- 46:59Break up the backers scoring opportunity.
- 47:01We have a scoreless ball game.
- 47:03Two minutes to go.
- 47:04In the first half, going on the clock here at Lambeau Field.
- 47:07It's going to be second down.
- 47:08Goal to go now for the Chicago Bears.
- 47:10Actually, Carter was a step away from maybe actually doing it there.
- 47:14Here's the late score here, Jack, while we're waiting for the two-minute warning to take a fake Baltimore's now increase the seed over to New York.
- 47:2116 to nothing.
- 47:22Baltimore 16, New York nothing.
- 47:25And Dallas is leading New Orleans 7 to nothing in the second period.
- 47:30And Pittsburgh 28 to nothing over at Lambeau in the third period.
- 47:34It's finally showing us the air force by Pittsburgh, which barely won its first game of the year against Philadelphia last week.
- 47:40Well, Jack, this is really an exciting ball game.
- 47:42And Gale's there.
- 47:43And Ole Miss first broken wide open with that 63-yard dash around right end.
- 47:48He did some beautiful open field running as usual to get the ball down to the nine-yard line.
- 47:53Now it's up to the Bears to capitalize on that splendid effort by Gale.
- 47:56They're down on the 11-yard line.
- 47:58Carter lost two on the first attempt.
- 48:00He was looking for a receiver, found one open, and almost had a wide open opportunity to go for some distance on a run that was shipped up at the last second.
- 48:10So now the Bears have a second down of 11 to go on the Green Bay 11-yard line.
- 48:15And we're crushing here for the first score of the day.
- 48:18Here we go, Jack.
- 48:19Bob Wallace is put away to the right.
- 48:21The ball came out. Three-wall has come in to replace Cadille at one of the guard positions.
- 48:25Right guard.
- 48:27Broke out a handoff now to Brian Piccolo.
- 48:30He cuts off left guard.
- 48:31Head down with that great second effort of his.
- 48:33He fights his way to the six-yard line.
- 48:35So he got five.
- 48:37The initial contact from the tackle made by Lionel Aldrich that time.
- 48:40Help on the tackle however from Bob Brown, the defensive end from Arkansas A&M.
- 48:46Piccolo out. And 65-96B7 is the new name in that lineup this year for the Green Bay Packers.
- 48:53It is going to be third down now.
- 48:55Goal to go for the Chicago Bears.
- 48:57The ball is on the Green Bay six-yard line.
- 49:00Clark now showing 127 to go here in this first half.
- 49:04Rather, if the Bears could score here and leave the field of half-time with a lead, it could be really something.
- 49:09Could really touch them off.
- 49:10Here's the handoff.
- 49:11Fake down by Carter.
- 49:12Also to the right.
- 49:13He may run with the ball.
- 49:14He's inside the five.
- 49:15He's at the two-yard line.
- 49:16The three-yard line.
- 49:17It's hard.
- 49:18Knocked down by Willie Davis.
- 49:20And Carter shaking up on that play.
- 49:22It's a little slow getting up.
- 49:23Bob Brown also got involved.
- 49:25Dave Robinson got in there and forced himself on the play.
- 49:28But Willie Davis is the fellow who did it initially.
- 49:30And now here comes Matt Percival on the field.
- 49:33Davis taking the stop.
- 49:37Well, with three seconds to go, he took the 47-yard field goal last week.
- 49:42Now with 47 seconds to go, he's coming in to kick a three-yard field goal.
- 49:50Clark ticking away.
- 49:51Matt Percival will attempt a field goal.
- 49:53Ralph Curick is committed to a little blocking.
- 49:55Well, Bradovich is into a little blocking on this play.
- 49:57John Johnson remains in.
- 50:00Richie Pettibon will hold.
- 50:06Looks like Willie Holman is also in to help out on the blocking.
- 50:12And Wayne Moss.
- 50:13Mike Riley has come in.
- 50:14And now what?
- 50:17Well, the Bears may be taking a little bit of a delay here.
- 50:20And they may want that ball off back five yards.
- 50:23Too close, Jack.
- 50:24And they can get a better perspective and a better angle if they move the ball back five yards.
- 50:30But the Green Bay Packers refuse to give it to them.
- 50:33They may be blinded.
- 50:36That's the first time you'll probably ever see, or one of the rare moments you'll ever see,
- 50:40a five-yard penalty decline in that spot.
- 50:45Okay, Percival will kick it from the ten-yard line on the angle.
- 50:49Here's the boot.
- 50:50It is up.
- 50:51It is good.
- 50:52Fill it out about it.
- 50:53And so with 60 seconds to go, that is the tenth straight field goal kicked by Matt Percival
- 51:01and the score, the Chicago Bears three, the Green Bay Packers nothing.
- 51:05Let's take five seconds for a station break.
- 51:07This is the WGN Chicago Bears football network.
- 51:10WGN Radio Chicago, Illinois and Michigan at 12-10.
- 51:15And don't forget, 7 o'clock Tuesday night, the Bulls against the Lakers on WGN.
- 51:21I'm Jack Rickhouse, the mom of Irv Guttman here at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
- 51:27We've got about 16 seconds left for a kickoff.
- 51:29The clock is not official, but it's generally pretty close up here.
- 51:32Well, cop, but the Percival didn't leave much doubt about that kickoff.
- 51:36How long would it have left his toe, did he?
- 51:38None whatsoever, but as long as the time element was such that it wasn't a big factor one way or the other.
- 51:43The Bears thought they might as well waste those 30 seconds and see if they could get a better angle for the field goal to make sure.
- 51:49But it wasn't necessary, as Percival soon proved.
- 51:52Here we go, Jack, for the kickoff.
- 51:54It looks like a flat-down kickoff for Percival on this one.
- 51:58He hasn't seen the ball up at the 40-yard line at all.
- 52:01It's lying, it's on that little tee, but it's, you know, it's parallel with the ground instead of being in a position to be raised up in the air.
- 52:11Here's a low-line drive kickoff, and it carries down to the 11-yard line, taken there by Travis Williard.
- 52:18And he's down now at the 27-yard line, returning the ball.
- 52:21Major Hastleton, that's Jimmy Burnell reaching him in a hurry.
- 52:25Bob Wallace coming down on the ball and was also involved in the tackle.
- 52:28Put the ball at the 28-yard line.
- 52:30And the Packers now have themselves with eight seconds to go.
- 52:35Five, four, three, they're not going to get a playoff.
- 52:38Two seconds, one second.
- 52:40And there's the gun. The first half is over.
- 52:43The first half at Green Bay.
- 52:45Worth the score.
- 52:47The Bears three, the Green Bay Packers nothing.
- 52:51It's halftime now, and I know you've got a review for us, a few thousand words about those defenses, particularly some outstanding guests, so we'll see in a little while.
- 52:58Here's the main check.
- 53:00And at Lambeau Field here in Green Bay, the score is the Chicago Bears three, Green Bay nothing in what has been a tremendous defensive battle here in the first half.
- 53:10Green Bay had two opportunities to get on the scoreboard, but both times, the man, their field goal kicker, missed the effort.
- 53:18The Bears, of course, got down into scoring territory on a beautiful 63-yard run by Gale Sayers, who was having a tremendous, who had a tremendous first half, we should say.
- 53:30He put the ball on the nine-yard line with the Bears unable to move as much from there, and Percival got back to the 10-yard line for a field goal to make the score three to nothing.
- 53:40Incidentally, that's the tenth straight field goal that Mac Percival has booted for the Chicago Bears.
- 53:45He booted five against Philadelphia, four against Minnesota last week, and one today to make his 10 straight.
- 53:55Incidentally, Bart Starr had five consecutive passes, five consecutive completions in the first half before he missed, and he ended up the first half with five out of seven.
- 54:06That's the way the scoring has gone in this first half, not much going, but certainly a lot of real thrills here as the Bears and Packers are engaged in one of their traditional Donnie Brooks.
- 54:17This is really a rough ball game, well played, bitterly fought, and a real contest in every sense of the word.
- 54:26Here are some scores in the third period. St. Louis is leading Philadelphia 21 to 17.
- 54:32In the first period, Minnesota is leading the Washington Redskins three to nothing.
- 54:38In the third period, Pittsburgh has gone wild down in Atlanta 34 to nothing, marching through Atlanta like you know who did many years ago.
- 54:47In the third period, St. Louis is now leading Philadelphia 28 to 17, and Baltimore 16, and New York nothing in the second period there.
- 55:01Well, I'll have my halftime guest Paul Horning here in just a moment.
- 55:09Watching this huge crowd here, a capacity house of some 50,000 or so, and this beautiful new ballpark here, comparatively new, reminds us that 49 years ago a man named Frank Peck
- 55:21gave $500 to a 21-year-old football player named Earl Lewis Curly-Nambo for the purchase of sweaters and stockings to offer to the football team.
- 55:32And his journeys bore the legend Indian Packing Company, which was the name of Peck's business, and they've been known as the Packers of Green Bay ever since.
- 55:42And it was just about the same time that a man and decater named A.E. Staley hired another 21 or 24-year-old athlete, George Stanley Hallis,
- 55:52to organize a football team for the same purpose, to promote and advertise his business.
- 55:58And you know what? A.E. Staley's became the Chicago Bears.
- 56:02And that's where the beginnings of the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears, who now are meeting for their 99th time here in Lambeau Field.
- 56:12And now we are proud to announce that our guest here is Paul Horning, one of the all-time greats of Green Bay.
- 56:18And certainly Paul has come home here to cheer for the Green Bay Packers, a team with which he achieved so much success and fame.
- 56:26Paul, there's been quite a defense of battle this year.
- 56:28You know, when the very defense is on, they're on. They're playing a real fine football game today.
- 56:36The Packers are hitting. It's a real good defensive battle.
- 56:39As I said last week, when you get a game like this, and you have somebody like a Gale Fairs, you can break it open at any moment.
- 56:45I think both the teams are playing in the first quarter, just waiting, waiting to see who are going to make the mistakes.
- 56:52And I think you're going to see Star go to the air more than the second half. They're going to have to show the football.
- 56:57Apparently they're not going to do it on the ground. And Bart, of course, has five out of seven, I think, in the first half, which is not that heavy.
- 57:03No, it's not.
- 57:04It might be a meal of your hay day, Paul.
- 57:06Yes. I'd rather have five than seven any time.
- 57:08But Bart, you know, is a smart quarterback to realize that. And I'm sure that's what they're going over right now at halftime.
- 57:16Did you have any questions about Carter's calling a play down on the field, on the goal line here when we had a first down on nine?
- 57:23No, no, I didn't really. I think the ballpark, the Bears are rallying behind Berger-Sarcy.
- 57:31Young fella, I've been very quite amazed that he's quite exposure under pressure.
- 57:37This is the first really thick football game. You know, that means so much to the Bears that he's in and he's performing again like the Bears know he can.
- 57:48And you know, one other thing happens when you get a quarter back like this. The rest of the Bears, well, they give a little bit extra effort because they want him to have a good day and they want to know that they have the confidence in him.
- 58:02And you're seeing the third straight week of extra effort on the part of the Bears. They want to win for Carter.
- 58:09There's no question about that, Paul. The Bears really have been putting out for him.
- 58:13And I look forward to the Bears to keep that ground game going in the second half and as you say, Green Bay will probably go to the Air more in the second half.
- 58:20Well, yes. And you know, we talked last week. There's only one way you can beat the Packers is you beat it with controlled-type football.
- 58:27Turn in, turn out in the passing game. You saw exactly that. Carter hit Turner a few times and those little Packers are using what they call a zone defense.
- 58:38They're covering most of the zone deep and prevent the long bomb. And to control the football, you have to throw those short 12, 14-yard turn in, turn out and go to your back.
- 58:48Of course, the Bears, you can just keep plugging away even if a play doesn't gain one or two or maybe three yards.
- 58:55Sometimes during that football game, the Bears is capable of breaking it open.
- 59:02Paul, we want to thank you so much for dashing over here. And you all remember Paul Hornet? You can see him on Rush Street on a Sunday night.
- 59:10You can hear him on Channel 2 and on CBS and DBM radio in Chicago, right, Paul?
- 59:15That's right, Irv. Fine. We're delighted that Paul has chosen Chicago to make his home and his profession after leaving the Green Bay Packers.
- 59:22Our halftime guest, Paul Hornet, will be back with more halftime activity in just a moment.
- 59:27Halftime shows have been brought to you by Alpo, 100% meat dog food, no sugar and not a speck of cereal.
- 59:35Ladies and gentlemen, the Green University Band concludes this afternoon's performance with a presentation of the Lincoln College.
- 59:43And the
- 59:45Here are the first half statistics. We'd like to see once again that the Chicago Bears are leading at the halftime three to nothing on a 10 yard field goal by Mack Percival, his 10th straight for the Chicago Bears.
- 1:00:00At the first half, the Bears have five and the Packers have five.
- 1:00:04In total yardage, the Bears have 179 yards against 111 for the Packers, giving the Bears a good edge there.
- 1:00:12The Bears have 24 offensive plays, the Packers have 22.
- 1:00:16And yet yards rushing, the Bears have 147,
- 1:00:23have 52 for the Packers. That gives the Bears a considerable edge there.
- 1:00:28In passing yardage, the Bears have picked up 52 and the Packers,
- 1:00:33no, let me correct that, the Bears have picked up 32 and the Packers have 59.
- 1:00:38Carter attempted six passes and completed three and has one interception.
- 1:00:42Clark Starr attempted seven passes and has five completions.
- 1:00:47Main ball carrying has been done of course by Gayo's players.
- 1:00:51And Gayo has carried the ball 10 times for 118 yards, an average of 11.8 for Kerry, the longest run of 63 yards.
- 1:01:01She already has gone over the mark of a great day, 118 yards already in the first half and with a big second half coming up.
- 1:01:11The teams are about to return to the field. We'll have the kickoff for the second half in just a moment.
- 1:01:18Earl Mann is going to kick off, the deep end for the Bears starting this third quarter with the Bears ahead, three to nothing.
- 1:01:24Mack Percival's last minute field goal there. Brian Gordon and Gayo Sayers has the deep end.
- 1:01:31Here's the run up, here's the boot, here's the wobbly one.
- 1:01:35It bounces, picked up by Sayers in the tabby, he's in the 20, the 25, 30, 35 running hard, trapped by the jersey.
- 1:01:43And finally, he's dropped down by a swarm of Packers.
- 1:01:47The first man to reach the front car all the way down to the Green Bay Packers 45-yard line. Man, did he want to shake loose again.
- 1:01:56He ran for 63 yards. The first half has set up the only score of this football game up until now.
- 1:02:04Bears ball first and tend to go, football on the Packers 44-yard line.
- 1:02:08Berger caught in the quarterback, out of the huddle, they come. Cecil Turner split away to the left, Dick Gordon is out to the right.
- 1:02:17Sayers is kind of in a slot to the right, almost winged off the right tackle, Bob Wittach, Karani ball in an ace backfield.
- 1:02:22And there's the handoff to Karani, over the middle he goes.
- 1:02:25Little blast blocking as the Bears try to push this ball forward.
- 1:02:29The real bottom man on this ball set up this time is Henry Jordan, the veteran. He's been on the bottom of a lot of tackles.
- 1:02:34The ball was advanced to the Packers 41-yard line. That's going to make a second down now.
- 1:02:38Just about seven yards to go. Give them free on that play. Nearly four yards.
- 1:02:42Third quarter just underway. Third quarter, 5th of 28th, the Falcons jumping.
- 1:02:47Third quarter, the Cardinals 21, Fiddle Elf, the Eagles 17.
- 1:02:50Second quarter, Baltimore 16, the Giants nothing.
- 1:02:53The Bears three, Green Bay nothing. Hear that Green Bay pile over that ball on the left field.
- 1:02:57On his right, Cadillo, the two guards, the tackle, Jackson and Wotoska, Austin Denny, the tight left end.
- 1:03:02They're shoulder to shoulder down there. Handoff to Gale Sayers going off the left side.
- 1:03:06And he has got first down yardage it looks like as he moves off the left guard spot, the left side of the better line,
- 1:03:12doing some good blocking that time and moving.
- 1:03:15If it's possible to do it, I suppose that kind of blocking can do it.
- 1:03:19Fellows like Henry Jordan and Lionel Aldrich and also the right linebacker, Cappy.
- 1:03:25Did they make it? They certainly did.
- 1:03:27First down now for the Bears. They move inside the 35, so 34 yard line of the Green Bay Packers.
- 1:03:32They're huddling back on the 45, young Virgil Carter, the quarterback.
- 1:03:35Jack Conkana, the Bear quarterback, recovering from an injury.
- 1:03:38He's up on the phones with the coaches up here.
- 1:03:40At halftime he told us he looks for Barksaw to use more of those same passes, those hook-ins from the right and the left
- 1:03:46that they used successfully in the first half.
- 1:03:48Here's a handoff now to Ronnie Bull.
- 1:03:50And again, it is Jordan who grabs him with Ronnie with the momentum that he can generate with those 200 pounds of his
- 1:03:55and those powerful legs, drives hard, off-left guard,
- 1:03:58advances the ball down to the Green Bay Packers, 31 yard line almost, just a foot or so shy of it.
- 1:04:04That's going to make it now, second down, seven, give them three on the last play.
- 1:04:10Second down, seven yards to go for a first down.
- 1:04:13The ball is almost at the 31 yard line of the Green Bay Packers.
- 1:04:16Some of it's like David Albin's play and Willie Davis has a little hurdle here off to the left of the play.
- 1:04:21Also I see that Forrest Greg and Bob Brown looking furry.
- 1:04:26Make that Bob Brown and the defense of an average.
- 1:04:31And here is Carter rolling out to the right.
- 1:04:33He's going to carry the ball.
- 1:04:34He's at the 30, the 25, and he's down very hard, hit by Herb Adderley who rode him out of bounds
- 1:04:40and landed on top of him.
- 1:04:42And Carter picks himself up right away.
- 1:04:44He's a tough kid.
- 1:04:45And it looks like another first half of the bear.
- 1:04:48That's Surrey, that puts the ball up 23 yards out the Green Bay.
- 1:04:52The boys are still at it.
- 1:04:57They're really talking in tune and they said they had to and they've been staying on the ground here
- 1:05:01in the first half as they move down the field very nicely.
- 1:05:04Of course with Gale Sayers in there, the threat is always there that the Green Bay Packers have to watch for
- 1:05:09very, very carefully and sometimes you can counter because of that threat of Gale Sayers.
- 1:05:13Here we go, Jack.
- 1:05:14They have a flop formation right.
- 1:05:16Jim the flop to the right this time is Bull.
- 1:05:18A handoff to Brian Piccolo, relieving Sayers and he runs back into Mr. Dave Robinson who says,
- 1:05:24come to me, baby, I want to pick you up and just cuddle you for a minute.
- 1:05:27And he lands into the ground.
- 1:05:30Ran right into him.
- 1:05:33And he almost sealed it, Piccolo, like a man fielding a wide drive that time.
- 1:05:39Piccolo is one of the great second effort men.
- 1:05:42Piccolo out in for one play that time.
- 1:05:45And he is also trotting out with third down.
- 1:05:49Second down now, nine yards to go.
- 1:05:52The ball is on the Green Bay Packers, 22 and a half yard line.
- 1:05:56Here's out in front three to nothing, Virgil Carter looking left and right.
- 1:06:00Four men on the rush and four defensive backs.
- 1:06:02Now here's a quick opener as Honey Bowl explodes over the middle and gets down to the 20, 16 yard line.
- 1:06:11And here's Brown, the secondary man, making the pass.
- 1:06:15That was a real quick opener and actually I kind of looked for Ronnie to go farther on that play.
- 1:06:20They were a little lucky Green Bay that he didn't explode almost all the way on that one
- 1:06:24because they only had a four-man rush going and four men as defensive backs,
- 1:06:28four linebackers on the play just as the play started to unfold.
- 1:06:31And he was past all eight of those guys on a real quick opener.
- 1:06:37Third down now, three yards to go for a first down.
- 1:06:39The Bears have the ball at the 16 or 17 yard line, called up the 16 yard line of Green Bay.
- 1:06:44Third down, here's the snap, here's the hand off the ball.
- 1:06:47And on the crossback this time he may have made the first down.
- 1:06:51A nice, deceptive big hand off to Sayer, suddenly Bull operating from the right side.
- 1:06:57He landed off to the left and cut just inside the right tackle.
- 1:07:01On the defense and just make first down for the Bears who have now pushed again toward that Green Bay Packers goal.
- 1:07:07Will they have first down at the 12 yard line, almost the 11.
- 1:07:12Will caught up the 11 yard line as a matter of fact.
- 1:07:14First to the left of the Bears, 10.23 to go here in this third quarter.
- 1:07:20Cuddling for the Bears, calling the shot.
- 1:07:22Virgil Cahn of the young quarterback, Gale Sayers in an ace back field.
- 1:07:26Slotted to the left now just between the tackle.
- 1:07:29Randy Jackson, Robson Denny is Ronnie Bull, the hand off to Sayer.
- 1:07:33He cuts inside just where Bull was, he's at the five, the three yard line.
- 1:07:37Knockdown, caught from behind by Dave Robinson, also helping on that tackle.
- 1:07:42Big Bob Brown.
- 1:07:44And now it's going to be second down for the Bears.
- 1:07:46They have that ball at the three and a half yard line of the Green Bay Packers.
- 1:07:50And up there, offensive line is doing outstanding work at this moment in this game.
- 1:07:569.43 to go.
- 1:07:58We're in the third quarter to Green Bay.
- 1:08:00It is second down, about a yard to go for first down,
- 1:08:03three and a half to go for the touchdown for the Chicago Bears.
- 1:08:07Watch this one, big play coming up maybe.
- 1:08:11Goose back field, Ronnie Bull and Sayers almost shoulder to shoulder,
- 1:08:14less than a yard apart in the back field.
- 1:08:16The hand off goes to Ronnie Bull, head down, he bores and he's way shy on the goal line by about a yard and a half.
- 1:08:24And that's considerable distance by these terms.
- 1:08:29Get under these conditions, but he still managed to get some yardage on the play, possibly enough for a first down.
- 1:08:36Bob Brown, the bottom end of the tackle, and out comes the chain gang to see if it is a first down.
- 1:08:42And if it is, the Bears will have first and goal to go at the two.
- 1:08:46It's going to be close.
- 1:08:48I don't believe he's going to make it on this one.
- 1:08:50Nope, he's about, oh, I'd say five or six minutes a shot, no more earth.
- 1:08:54Just close, third down.
- 1:08:56Third down.
- 1:08:58Would you or Carter, would you risk assassination here by a quarterback snake cup?
- 1:09:03I guess that's his number one choice, I would say.
- 1:09:07Unless he wants to pull a surprise and send Gale on one of their stonewall tackle plays
- 1:09:11and go for the whole work here instead of for the first down.
- 1:09:13And he may do that.
- 1:09:15The Bears have got good running power behind Gale, good blocking for him today.
- 1:09:18And you know, he can go, he can pick up three yards.
- 1:09:21Both Ty Dand, Michael and Austin Denny are in there to do some blocking.
- 1:09:25A real powerful, blast blocking set up.
- 1:09:29And the handoff goes to Sayers.
- 1:09:31He dives off left guard.
- 1:09:33It's going to be very, very close.
- 1:09:34Now they only needed about six inches for the first down.
- 1:09:39Gale Sayers, springing forward the moment he got that ball in his midsection,
- 1:09:43just made a dive right into that mass of humanity out there.
- 1:09:47And getting up are several backers.
- 1:09:50George, Brown, Aldrich, the key men on the tackle, help on it by Niski,
- 1:09:56who's the middle linebacker.
- 1:09:58They've moved that ball.
- 1:09:59It looks like they might make that first down on that plan.
- 1:10:03They did by the length of the football.
- 1:10:06So first and goal to go now for the Chicago Bears.
- 1:10:10They have it first and goal to go and a free to nothing lead for the Bears.
- 1:10:13They have the ball, goes inside the two-yard line of Drain Bay.
- 1:10:23Rachel Carter, a real center of the story up to now.
- 1:10:30A fellow who just a short time ago was on the taxi squad.
- 1:10:33Now he's the most talked about quarterback in the football game today.
- 1:10:37Here's the snap.
- 1:10:38And it's the keeper and he's got it easy.
- 1:10:40Oh, standing up, Rachel Carter, breaking the lead off.
- 1:10:43We'll make that tomorrow around the left right.
- 1:10:46And about six or seven of his old men gang up on him.
- 1:10:49Mike Howe, George Seals, potting him on the bat.
- 1:10:52He's still turning.
- 1:10:53Oh, did he look slick on that one.
- 1:10:55That was a beautiful play called just at the right time.
- 1:10:58The psychological point was that they were watching Gale's players on the sweep to the other side.
- 1:11:03And Carter did the right thing.
- 1:11:05He faked it to Gale and kept it in the growth.
- 1:11:07Hit it on and then it's blended around the left end for the touchdown.
- 1:11:11Incidentally, Jack, the Bears march down the field without the use of one forward pass.
- 1:11:15Here we go for the extra point.
- 1:11:17The move by Percival is perfect.
- 1:11:19Eight thirty-seven to go in the third quarter.
- 1:11:21And the score of this game is now the Chicago Bears have the Green Bay Packers topping.
- 1:11:25And we'll be returning with the kickoff in just one minute.
- 1:11:29Adderley and Travis Williams of the Deep Band Percival holds his hand up.
- 1:11:34And again, I noticed he's not using the tee up.
- 1:11:37The ball fell off of the tee, but, well, I guess he is deciding to use the tee it up now.
- 1:11:43The last time he kicked off, it was a flat kick off that tee.
- 1:11:46But now, Mac Percival backs up.
- 1:11:49The two receivers, the Deep Men, are inside the 10 at about the seven-yard line.
- 1:11:54Here's a run-up.
- 1:11:55He posted his high.
- 1:11:56Carter is very high and very well.
- 1:11:58He's posted out at the five-yard line, taken by Williams at the 10 to 15.
- 1:12:02And he's set at the 18-yard line.
- 1:12:04Hit very, very hard by Jussie Bofall.
- 1:12:08Jerry Weill also getting it in that tackle.
- 1:12:11And now the Bears.
- 1:12:12And a roused ball club.
- 1:12:13You can see, as I told you before the ball game, he was in the dressing room.
- 1:12:16And this ball club is as high as a kite today.
- 1:12:19They're really roused.
- 1:12:22The Green Bay Packers are still the cool, tough champions.
- 1:12:25They're a well-organized unit.
- 1:12:27They come out of the huddle now.
- 1:12:29The ball is on the 19-yard line.
- 1:12:31Green Bay's ball, first and 10 to go.
- 1:12:34Bart Starr has the job of trying to overcome a 10-point deficit.
- 1:12:37Bears out in front, 10 to nothing.
- 1:12:39Here's the snap.
- 1:12:40The fake handoff.
- 1:12:41And here is a pass out on the planet.
- 1:12:42It is caught by a line.
- 1:12:43This is the 20.
- 1:12:44He's at the 25.
- 1:12:45And upended by Richie Fennibar.
- 1:12:47The crusher tackle put on him by Dick Bucke.
- 1:12:49That's the 20-yard line.
- 1:12:52Very close to first down yardage.
- 1:12:54Let's take five seconds for a station break.
- 1:12:56This is the WGN Chicago Bears football network.
- 1:13:00WGN Radio Chicago.
- 1:13:02Don't forget the Bulls and the Lakers on WGN Radio this week.
- 1:13:06Tuesday night at 7.
- 1:13:07Electronite coverage on WGN Radio will be the most complete in all of Radioland.
- 1:13:12Ball on the 28.
- 1:13:14Second down.
- 1:13:22About a yard to go for first down.
- 1:13:24The handoff goes to Pith.
- 1:13:25And Elijah goes off right guard.
- 1:13:27He's got his first down yardage.
- 1:13:28They've moved the ball out of the 31-yard line.
- 1:13:30Seven minutes and 15 seconds to go in the third quarter of Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
- 1:13:35A down of over 50,000, which means that again every seat is sold up here on this perfect autumn afternoon.
- 1:13:41The multicolored wardrobe reports that the football fandom will wear at the time of the year.
- 1:13:50Clear skies, blue skies.
- 1:13:53The field just drenched in sunshine most of the afternoon here.
- 1:13:56And what a stunning this is.
- 1:13:58Two great ball clubs battling it out.
- 1:13:59Here's Bartzah.
- 1:14:00He waits.
- 1:14:01He throws up the medal.
- 1:14:02And it's way over the head.
- 1:14:04That's a 42-yard line.
- 1:14:06Carrolldale for Holman was intended.
- 1:14:10You can bet that the Bear Pass defense is going to have its work cut out for it here in this fourth quarter coming up here in the remainder of this third quarter.
- 1:14:18Because if the Bears are still ahead, it will be fairly evident that Bartzah will go to the air more than ever in order to try to move that ball and move it in a hurry.
- 1:14:30And of course, nobody but nobody in this world can milk a clock like Bartzah.
- 1:14:34Nobody can spot those little bitty weaknesses, those chinks in the armor better than he can.
- 1:14:39He's one of the cleverest quarterbacks to have ever come down the pike.
- 1:14:43Morrie down the way to the right, Carrolldale in the slot to the right, second down, 10.
- 1:14:48The ball is 30 and back goes Star once more.
- 1:14:50He backs up his money, throws up the medal, and here he is.
- 1:14:53Right down.
- 1:14:55And the intended receiver Anderson was tackled out in the open while the ball was still in the air at the 44-yard line.
- 1:15:05Ricky Pettiball and Bucket were both after him on that one.
- 1:15:08Bucket is backed up to anticipate the play, and I think Dick is the one who put the tackle on him.
- 1:15:13That will be first to 10. That goes to class interference.
- 1:15:16The linebacker, incidentally, has an interesting instinct that he has to develop as regards to that kind of a play.
- 1:15:24Whether to rush or whether to back up and help out on past events, this is something he has to make up his mind of.
- 1:15:30For one thing, he has to watch the quarterback's eyes a lot.
- 1:15:36First and 10, then. The ball is at the 44-yard line at Green Bay.
- 1:15:39Elijah Bitt over the medal. He's got a little day light.
- 1:15:42He advances the ball to near midfield, the 49-yard line.
- 1:15:45Tackle made again by Lloyd Phillips, who's been playing some real rough, tough, hard-nosed football for the Bears the last few weeks particularly.
- 1:15:53Little yardage on the play. Give them six altogether, and that makes it now second down, four yards to go for a first down.
- 1:15:59The Green Bay Packers have moved that ball to their own 49-yard line.
- 1:16:04Bears on the defense, Lloyd Phillips, Dick Eby, John Johnson, Ella Bradovich, Doug Perfau, and for now the linebacker's up on the line, giving the Bears the six-man rush.
- 1:16:13Butch is directly over the center almost. Here's the hand up now to Anderson. He sweeps around the left side, and he is out of bounds at midfield.
- 1:16:21They have made a yard on the play. Yet we have not seen Jim Grabowski in this game. Jim has had a little bit of an injury problem.
- 1:16:28Elijah Fitz has been doing such a good job anyway that I can understand why Brinkman would want to stay with Elijah at this time.
- 1:16:35Elijah gives him a lot more speed in the back. That's what they've been looking for, apparently.
- 1:16:40And not the power that Jim Grabowski has, but the speed that Elijah Fitz has is getting him in the line up there.
- 1:16:46We see Jim down on the sidelines, the only Chicago favorite of ours, and he looks like he's raring to go. He always gives a good performance.
- 1:16:54Third down, just about four yards to go for the first down of the ball.
- 1:17:00Well, he is midfield, green baseball, Bears ahead, 10 to nothing in this quarter.
- 1:17:04And there is Star dropping back. He's pumped, and now he's going all the way down here, and it's going to be a touchdown.
- 1:17:10Way in the open. Oh, boy. They made that one look real easy. Caravale will never be more open in his life than he was on that tackle, Greg.
- 1:17:24A practice, practice fair. There's no nobody at all. Was anywhere near him. There was no defense on that play.
- 1:17:31The closest ran to him was Joe Taylor, and Joe had to be a good 15 yards away from him.
- 1:17:36And so the backers have struck through the air for 50 yards, and that is the Bears defense for the first time.
- 1:17:41The backers are going to try to keep that ball on the ground. It hasn't worked. The Bears defense has been 2-0.
- 1:17:47The backers have gone in the air, and Mark Starr has penetrated the Bears for the first time.
- 1:17:53That will kick. Bears to boot. It's good. 5.51 to go in the third quarter. The Bears have green 37.
- 1:18:01We'll be back with a kickoff in just one minute.
- 1:18:17Jack, that touchdown pass by Starr-Gaudere was a complete breakdown by the Bears defense.
- 1:18:22He was out there all by himself. He couldn't conceivably be that he was supposed to be covered by anybody in that field.
- 1:18:28Here we go, Jack. Jerry Kramer kicked off his side. Jerry's very well.
- 1:18:32It's going into the end zone and out of the end zone. Gale Sayers decides not to try to do anything with it.
- 1:18:38It'll be the Bears ball. First and center goal in a row. 20-yard line. Bears have a 10-7 lead.
- 1:18:44The margin at this point provided by the field goal of the last few seconds of the first half by Backeversville,
- 1:18:50who is now 6th in a row. The record is 12 in a row.
- 1:18:55Bobby Lane, I believe, has it. And also, I'm not sure, but I think George Blander may have kicked 12 in a row anyway.
- 1:19:05We'll worry about that later. For some reason or another, the test of field goals are not included in the record book,
- 1:19:11which the NFL provides us. Bears ball, first and center goal in their own 20-yard line.
- 1:19:15The other number 15, Carter, hands off to Gale Sayers. And Gale trying to cut back as he pulls out on the left, is down.
- 1:19:22As he crosses the 20 through, there was a flag down on the play.
- 1:19:26And we'll have a walk off against the Green Bay Packers, advancing the ball up to the Chicago Bears, 34-yard line.
- 1:19:35Now he decides he's got the double take and puts it at the 37-yard line.
- 1:19:40It is a personal foul, grabbing the mass mentally against one of the Packers.
- 1:19:4615 yards on that play. The Bears have first and 10 to go on their own 37-yard line.
- 1:19:52File over the ball. On the left is him, is George Seals, the right guard, is Cadille.
- 1:19:57They're both doing good work again today. Wayne Moss, the right tackle.
- 1:20:01Randy Jackson, the left tackle. Denny, the tight left-handed.
- 1:20:04Here's the pass over the middle and it's intended for Turner in and out of his fingers.
- 1:20:08And Segal was off to the races on that one. Boy, if he can hang on to that one,
- 1:20:13Willie Wood and Tom Brown and Adderley all started to try to move in on him at the same time and grab the mass.
- 1:20:21Actually, the pass found its way through that maze and there was nobody behind Segal Turner and the Green Bay Goals.
- 1:20:29That was a beautiful pass and brother I know Segal Turner wanted to catch that more than anybody in the stadium,
- 1:20:35but it hit him in the hands and bounced right out for no reason that we could see.
- 1:20:39And he feels as badly as anybody out here because that looks like it might have been a TD.
- 1:20:44Here we go, James. 5.40 to go in the third quarter. Second down, 10 for the Bears.
- 1:20:50Pull on the left. Gale Sayers on the right in the setup and back goes Carter.
- 1:20:54He looks, he may run. He does.
- 1:20:56Ronnie's in the 40. Sutter steps him on it and finally is down at the 44-yard line met by Willie Wood and by Nitschke.
- 1:21:04That's Boxer Ball now. They're going to get to the 45-yard line almost on this one.
- 1:21:08Willie Wood. That's going to leave him just maybe a couple of yards shy of a first down off third down.
- 1:21:14So here's a big play for the Bears offensive. They can get a couple of yards here and get a fresh set of outs.
- 1:21:18Who knows what might happen here in the remaining five minutes and 13 seconds of the third quarter at Green Bay.
- 1:21:24Ball on the 35-yard line, rather the huddle on the 35-yard line and the ball on the 45-yard line.
- 1:21:30Bears ball first and then Carter. Looks left and right.
- 1:21:34He puts his hands up for Sadat from the crowd, which is not maybe the best idea in the world from a Green Bay crowd.
- 1:21:39And here's Sayers. He gets a little bit of a run from Ronnie Ball and he has got his first down yardage.
- 1:21:45Gale Sayers moving off the left of the slam play.
- 1:21:48Nitschke an extra yard with him. That's first down for the Bears.
- 1:21:51Getting up a little slowly from the tackle also is Leroy Caffey, one of the outside linebackers, another veteran with the Green Bay Packers.
- 1:21:59The Bears are the champions again, find themselves being pushed around a little bit by the Bears.
- 1:22:04Gale Sayers lost a shoe on that play so he walked over to the sideline for another equipment repair session while Brian Piccolo comes in to relieve him.
- 1:22:13Gale standing very close to Billy Martell, the equipment man, putting his shoe back on.
- 1:22:19Good luck, man. Kind of kibitzing the operation a little bit along with Cody, Ed Cody.
- 1:22:25Bears ball first and 10 to go on their 48 yard line. Here's Carter. He looks for a receiver.
- 1:22:30He's got Turner. This time he'll make the diving effort for the ball incomplete.
- 1:22:35That was his 45 yard line.
- 1:22:38And the reason the crowd is blowing here, this part of the Green Bay crowd, is because they thought the shooter actually should have been credit with catching the pass
- 1:22:46because it bounced out of his hands as he hit the ground and one of the Green Bay Manzellos.
- 1:22:50That, of course, has given Green Bay a recovered fumble.
- 1:22:53The pass is real simply an incomplete pass with 4.04 to go in the third quarter.
- 1:22:58The Bears 10 to factor 7. It is sunken down 10 now.
- 1:23:03The Stronger Bears on the football at the 49 yard line of the Bears.
- 1:23:09Ball on the left and Brian Piccolo on the right in the loose backfield.
- 1:23:13Slotted to the right is Turner. Here's Carter dropping back in, backpedals. He throws a screen over the line.
- 1:23:18Fumble by Ronnie Bull. Had his hands on it but just could not hang onto it.
- 1:23:23He and Mitchie Bull went rolling out of bounds, tumbling over to the fair branch where Ed Cote and Avery Giffrin and Jim Dilley all had to move fast to get out of the way of the flooring bodies.
- 1:23:33Now with...
- 1:23:36Turner down.
- 1:23:39And 10 yards to go for the first out. The Bears still have the ball in their own 49 yard line.
- 1:23:48Third down.
- 1:23:50Now this is the kind of a situation in which Barstow excels. This is what makes them a great quarterback.
- 1:23:55The ability to get 10 yards in a spot like this on third down a long yardie.
- 1:23:59Let's see if Virgil Carter can come up with the right play.
- 1:24:04Brian Piccolo is slotted out to the left. Here's Carter. He drops back again. Willie Davis has a little rush on him and he loses the ball.
- 1:24:10There's a battle for him at the 41 yard line and the Bears have recovered.
- 1:24:15Whoo boy! Huge loss on the play. They almost lost the football to Green Bay.
- 1:24:21The fellow who recovered was Bob Witowska for the Bears. The tackle was backed up to protect and do a little pass blocking for Carter.
- 1:24:31Witowska, generally, gave one of the great blocks on that run of Gale Sayers. That 63 yard run which set up the field goal as it turned out in the first half.
- 1:24:39So that puts the ball way back on the 42 yard line and John Kilgore will now play.
- 1:24:45Three minutes, 30 seconds to go in the third quarter at Green Bay.
- 1:24:49Dropping back in the twin safety for the Packers, R. Brown and Willie Woods. They're heading not too far from the 20 yard line.
- 1:24:55He gets the kick away from the 31. That's a terrible boost.
- 1:24:58Right off the side of his foot and it goes out of bounds at the back of the 42 yard line.
- 1:25:04Right off the side of his foot. John Kilgore has bad luck and that punt is a net 16 yards from Trinney.
- 1:25:13Time out of the field, 3.19 to go in the third quarter. Score 10 to 7 Bears. We'll return with more action and jokes. One minute.
- 1:25:22The game continues at the beginning of side three to set number two.
- 1:25:35Packers ball, first to 10 to the 41 yard line. Bears ahead 10 to 7. 3.19 to go in the third quarter.
- 1:25:41Bart Starr gets the ball, moves out to his left. Tops the arm, throws way down there.
- 1:25:46The first time he's been in there's a fly down. The Packers were hollering their heads off.
- 1:25:54Buckets, a line of Witz-Ribowski, the two a line high. Giving each other a hard time and it could be one.
- 1:26:00But Inter finish rolling against the Bears. That's what it is all right.
- 1:26:04That gives the Packers first down of the Bear 45 yard line.
- 1:26:08Jim Witz-Ribowski in for the first time this afternoon. Here's the final score. The St. Louis Cardinals 45, the Philadelphia Eagles 17, Q Herrick and the Eagles are now 0-8.
- 1:26:24One eye, first to 10, Green Bay. Double slot left.
- 1:26:30The handoff to Witz-Ribowski. Over left side, going in there and he's got the play line way down to the 30 yard line.
- 1:26:36A big hole ripped in the Bear's blocking. The Bear's defending by the blocking and the right side of the Bear defense just barely to the right of center as Kenny Boatman and Jerry Kramer just combined blocking.
- 1:26:53Along with Gail Gullingham on that one.
- 1:26:56Now Major Haselton comes in and Mike Riley is coming in. One of the Bears has a little slow getting up down there. He is sitting down at the 25 yard line. Ed Rosie, the Bear trainer and Dr. Ted Fox come out to have a little look at him. Billy Martell, the equipment man, is also out there and Ed Rosie's assistant. That could be Obradovich.
- 1:27:15Nope it's not. Obradovich is up. There's a seven on his uniform so that means it's got to be Pettibone, the other with a seven on his uniform. Obradovich 87 and Pettibone 17 and the Bears defensive set up. And it looks like Richie Pettibone was jarred on the play.
- 1:27:37The Bears have Green Bay 7. Green Bay is threatening out of it the way they're beginning to move with 251 to go in the third quarter. You're right Jack. Green Bay has got the momentum now and it looks tough for our Chicago Bears. The Bears were stopped offensively by a very south Green Bay defense in the last series of downs and the incomplete advances and so forth.
- 1:27:57The Bears forced a punt and Kilgore got off only a 15 yard punt which added to the Bears woes at this moment and Green Bay has more impetus and now they are on the march and the Bears defense has done its work out off our top two.
- 1:28:11That's the rally at this point. Here we go. We're back in action. It's a first down 10 on the Bears 30 yard line for the Green Bay Pack. Let's go Jack.
- 1:28:25All right they're lined up. Ball on the 30 and here's Starp taking a hand off Kravatsky. Now he throws the sideline pass. Incomplete. The target was Maura Fleming the tight left end.
- 1:28:36The Bears defensive backs here are Benny McCray, Joe Taylor, Rosamil Taylor and Curtis Gentry who has replaced Richie Pettibone. It is now going to be second down 10 Green Bay's ball on the Chicago Bear 30 yard line. The clock now shows 2 minutes and 46 seconds to go in the third quarter.
- 1:28:58The Bear defense certainly has its work cut out for it as we said closing out the first half. But for the Bear pass defense they really have its work cut out for here in the next several minutes and back goes Starp once more.
- 1:29:12Here's the pass. He hits his man. He hits Dale at the 19 yard line. The flat out just a little bit away from a flat pass. And diddy or diddy not make first down yard. He did. Made it with a couple of feet to spare. That puts the ball now first and 10 Green Bay on the Bear 19 yard line.
- 1:29:37Let's see what this Bear defense can do. They have been superb for the most part today particularly those front rush men and the linebackers.
- 1:29:48First and 10 the ball on the Bear 19 yard line. Watch Starp. Hands up now to Travis Williams. Reaps the round to the right. Cuts inside a block by Jerry Kramer who managed to take the right end out.
- 1:29:59Ball down to the 15 yard line. Bottom end of the tackle for Zettel Gradovid along with Dick Butchett. And Kramer actually took the linebacker for phone out who would line up on the left side.
- 1:30:10So who's no longer the linebacker but instead was the defensive left end of the play. And he's the one Jerry Kramer took out and the ball carrier cut right inside of that.
- 1:30:17The first break coming in. It is now second down. Ball from 15 yard line. The snap, the handoff goes to Grabasco. Over the middle goes Jimmy.
- 1:30:33And even though he is upended, not off balance as he gets through that hole in the right side of the line just to the right of center he still managed to move the ball down to the 11 yard line.
- 1:30:43Should they jump third down a yard to go for first down. Third down and one. And the backers if they do not get first down on this next play are going to have a decision to make.
- 1:30:52Should they go for the guy field goal or should they press on to try to get the touchdown.
- 1:30:58Well that's anticipating a little far in advance because right now we have to concentrate on this very next play to see what happens on third down and a yard to go.
- 1:31:06A little over a yard to go for first down. The ball up the Chicago Bear 11 yard line. Watch it now. They're all lined up.
- 1:31:12That's the ball to start. The handoff now on the slow count to Williams. He's three to the left side and it's going to be close. I don't know whether he made first down yardage or not.
- 1:31:20I don't think he did. He's down. As he tried to turn the corner by Brunel and Dick Butkus who threw his body through the air that's 140 pounds real well and gawked up that play as Williams tried to turn the corner.
- 1:31:32And now in comes Chuck Mercin who is going to attempt a field goal. Looks like Chuck Mercin who was certainly a real find for these fellows last year.
- 1:31:48From New Trier, from Yale. The kick will come from right about the 19 yard line. The line of scrimmage is the 11 and a half and there goes the gun. The third quarter is ended. So the first play of the fourth quarter no doubt will be a field goal effort this score.
- 1:32:04At the end of the third quarter the Bears 10, the Green Bay Packers 7.
- 1:32:15We're just about to start the fourth quarter of what has turned into another typical Green Bay Bear football game. A lot of headbumping. You can hear the bone and muscles colliding up here in the booth where we are.
- 1:32:27The first play of this fourth quarter is going to be Chuck Mercin's field goal effort from the 19 yard line. Boxed on a wheel hole. Here's the kick. It is good.
- 1:32:39That's all the score of the game is now. The Bears 10, Green Bay 10. We'll be back with the kickoff in just a minute.
- 1:32:48And now the kick and the ball bounces away from Tim Gordon and is down in the end zone by Gordon I believe. It's very, very close.
- 1:32:59We have rule of safety against the Bears. Gordon actually made contact with the ball. The officials opinion on about the one-point line split under the end zone and down the fair and consequently the impetus that provided the ball moving into the end zone was provided by the Bears.
- 1:33:22And now the Bears have a chance to get a green bay. I believe they have rule of safety for Green Bay which of course would give them the lead.
- 1:33:30Wait a minute. Now what?
- 1:33:37Well, it's being the case of course the Bears have to kick off from their 20 yard line and give Green Bay the ball and the two points.
- 1:33:45Wait a minute. I guess not, Chubb. Certainly they changed it. At first they gave the signal for safety and now just an ordinary touchback. The Bears have possession of the ball on the 20 yard line and the score is still 10 to 10.
- 1:33:58They took away the safety which was the original decision by the officials.
- 1:34:05And the backer bands are blowing and blowing and blowing. I think it should have been a safety all the way. One official raced over there and in the gesture which indicates a safety which he held his palms together, pointed upward and high above his head.
- 1:34:23And that is definitely a safety call. And it was backed up by another official who was near there who gave the same sign. We automatically, and so did all the other people here, think that the Bears have been put at a disadvantage in the game by a safety.
- 1:34:41But instead they rolled it a touchback. Bears ball first and 10 and listen to this crowd boo. Alright, Bears ball first and 10 on their own 20 yard line. The game is still tied at 10 to 10. We're in the fourth quarter. Here's the handoff to Bears. A quick opener.
- 1:34:55Gale loses the football. It's a battle at the 30 yard line. The Bears recover. Two Bears making a dive for the ball as it squirts out of Gale's hands and the fellow who fell on it was Ronnie Ball. Both he and Cecil Turner made a real fast reflex dive for the ball.
- 1:35:11The Bears keep a few yards on the front ball putting the ball just inches away from a first down at the almost the 30 yard line. Bears ball first and 10 and from here on out they're going to separate the men from the boys in this game.
- 1:35:2614-15 to go. Game tied 10 to 10. The handoff to Bears. He's got his first down and he hangs onto the football. He's still going. Second effort and he moves all the way to the 42 yard line before Willie Wood managed to hang on with a real tenacious grip.
- 1:35:47And that was close because it looked like Gale had managed to bounce away from everybody including Willie but Willie grabbed that one leg and held on. First and 10 for the Bears as Bears ripped off some more yardies.
- 1:35:59Moving the ball up to the 42 yard line. May 12 on that last play. First and 10 Bears are out there now where a couple of good games now will put them in packer territory in an impressive manner.
- 1:36:15Here's Carter. He looks for a receiver. Looks like those and he hits Piccolo. Good catch by Bryant. He's across midfield at the 48 yard line. Credit Piccolo on that last play with a very fine catch.
- 1:36:27Bryant Piccolo in there relieving Gale Sayers momentarily as he has so frequently today. 11 yards on that play. Let's go on five seconds for a station break. This is the WGN Chicago Bears football network. WGN Radio Chicago where you can hear the Bulls and the Blackhawks and Illinois and Michigan next Saturday at 12-10.
- 1:36:52Jack Brickhouse comes in back here now at Lambeau Stadium. Bob Wallace is in. He's way out there at the flanker end. It is first and 10 for the Bears. They have the ball up the 48 yard line. Here's the snap. The handoff goes to Piccolo.
- 1:37:04Head down he plows and he runs right into Willie Davis. It's like bulldozing a steer. Willie grabs him by the helmet and down he goes. No game. Two-amounts or anything on this way. Well, maybe we'll give them a couple of feet. They'll get as far as the forward motion carried them which puts them at the, oh, we'll say the 47 yard line.
- 1:37:22Second down and just about, well, he made a couple of feet. We'll call it second down. Well, make it second down 10 because he didn't make that much yardage. Second down 10. Fourth period, Baltimore 26, New York nothing. Final, Pittsburgh 41, Atlanta 21.
- 1:37:42Goose backfield for the Bears. And here's Carter running around to the right. He's going to try to outrun everybody. He outruns Oldridge. He's at the point and collides with his own man on the far side of the field and is knocked out.
- 1:37:56Oh, brother. Both Virgil Carter and Bob Wallace who was run down field and then started back and started back to see if he could do a little blocking I guess right into his own man Carter and knocked almost both of them cold.
- 1:38:14There's one of the most freaky things I've ever seen of the Open Field Cup. That certainly is hard to understand. Now a man out there to block runs into his own man and knocks him out almost knocked him out. And that is one of the, and there's a penalty on the play on top of that.
- 1:38:30Add to the embarrassment, a penalty. You don't suppose they're charging Wallace with unnecessary roughness against his own teammate, do you?
- 1:38:44Where's that everything else happen today here? Bears have a 15 yard penalty here, Jack, for grabbing the face mask. Now how about the offensive team get an impenetrable for grabbing a face mask? That's usually a defensive maneuver.
- 1:38:55And here the Bears are slapped with that 15 yard penalty. Well, let's keep the rally going anyway.
- 1:39:05The ball is on the 43 yard line of the Bears. Right now, second down, 20 yards to go for a first down for the Bears. Second down, 20 to ball game guys, 10 to 10, 1149 to go here at Green Bay. We're in the fourth quarter. Here's Carter dropping back. He waits, he waits. He now moves out of the pocket. He throws and it's in.
- 1:39:25And that's it by Jeter at the 44. Picks himself up, he moves up to the 50 yard line. He is now nearly at midfield. The ball deflected out of the hands of the intended receiver.
- 1:39:39And Bob Jeter, with a great reflex effort, managed to pick that ball up in the air about six inches off the ground. He fell down, trampled to his feet. The play was through emotion. It has not been dead. Consequently, he was allowed to keep on going and he advanced it back to the 49 yard line of Green Bay.
- 1:39:581130 yards to go in this football game. It's Bart Starr with a ball game all tied at 10 to 10. The left side heavy with intended receivers or possible receivers, but he gives the ball to Anderson to sweep around the right side.
- 1:40:14The ball is grabbed in the air by Purnell and must be a free throw to be for now. Maybe thrown out of the game. He's so angry. That's Gary Bergman, the headliner who rules that it's not a recovered combo by the Bears.
- 1:40:30Now wait a minute, the Bear Offensive field has come out in the field and Bergman has been overruled.
- 1:40:38He's started to say no, although it's possible that what he might have been telling Jimmy was you cannot advance the ball, you're out of bounds. Jimmy may have misunderstood him.
- 1:40:47But anyway, the Bears own that football. Anderson after a good rebound with a pretty good game, lost the ball and popped it up in the air and Jimmy Purnell smacked it out of the air. His foot did go out of bounds near the Packer bench.
- 1:40:59And the Bears have the ball now first and 10 to go on their own 42 yard line. Talk about excitement. We've got it now. We're in the last 11 minutes and 13 seconds. Here's Sayers creeping around the left side and he moves up to the 48 yard line.
- 1:41:12Thanks to all, Ankerley on the ground to be down, mad at himself, unhappy because he was unable to escape Leroy Cappy who knocked him out balance and down.
- 1:41:23Gale Sayers all worked up, really charged up as are all the rest of the Bears and this football is very, very unhappy with himself because he didn't go all the way on that play. Of course he gets unhappy when he doesn't go all the way on every play. That's the kind of an intense football player he is.
- 1:41:37Second down, four to go, made six on that last one. Jerry Lyle is put away to the right. He's a spread and in the slot to the right now Cecil Turner and you have Sayers and Ronnie Bull in the new backfield. Here's somebody going across the line a little early. Gale Sayers runs with the ball flag down on lower place. He sweeps out to the right.
- 1:41:54He's at the 40, the 35, we've been bothered just out of the 31 yard line. Now the question is is that penalty against the Bears or against the Green Bay Packers? If it's against the Packers the Bears will probably decline.
- 1:42:07And if it's against the Bears, the Packers will accept it just about as happily as they've accepted anything in their lives.
- 1:42:14It is offside Packers. We saw the Packers offside but you can't call that until you make sure because it's possible that a motion by the Bear opposite that man on the line may have drawn him across, in which case the onus is on the offensive ball club. They put the lights on here now at Lambeau Field.
- 1:42:29Gale Sayers ripping off 21 yards on that play. The play stands up. The Bears have the ball first and 10 to go on the Packer 31 yard line. 10 minutes and 23 seconds to go in this football game. She's all tied up now 10 to 10.
- 1:42:45Signal called. Here is a handoff to Piccolo. Head down. By and by as hard as he can ahead. Comes right over Cadeel who tried very hard to block Brown out of the play. Managed to get Brown down on the ground and Piccolo ran over the top of both of them.
- 1:43:00And they both have some fleet marks probably in their backs on this play but they're used to that too. He got himself a couple. He advanced to the bottom of the 29 yard line. Up front now for the Green Bay Packers such great names as Willie Davis, Dave Robinson, Henry Jordan, Lionel Alvey.
- 1:43:17In the middle there is big Bob Brown. The white backer Nischke. Blanked on the right this side by Leo Icafee who's up on the line of scrimmage. Here's Carter handing off now to Piccolo and Justice Bryant. Took that handoff and started to reverse him.
- 1:43:30Don't be flippin' now. You can just see his clean slide in that dirt down there. Loose dirt. And he is down at the 31 yard line. A loss on the play which puts the ball back now where it's third down and almost 11 yards to go for the first down the bottom of the 31 yard line of the Green Bay Packers.
- 1:43:479.24 to go in this football game. The game tied up 10 to 10 and this is heading for a game somewhat similar to the game we had up here last year with Green Bay and the Bears. Let's hope we don't have the same finish because if the game tied 10 to 10 with seconds to go, Chandler kicks a deep field goal.
- 1:44:03It's going to be like last week's game too, Jack. At least we have a 10 to 10 game going into the final minutes maybe. I don't know. We've got a lot of time left. 9 minutes to go. Here's a pass over the line going by Cecil Turner on the rather Brian Piccolo out there on the plant and he advanced the ball to the 22 yard line.
- 1:44:23A little shy of first down yardage on the third down long yardage effort. Give them nine on the play but they have a little over 10 to go. Now here comes Mack Percival in once more as Mack tries to make his 11th consecutive field goal.
- 1:44:38He made one earlier today. 8.30 to go. The clock continues to move here at Lambeau Field in Green Bay with Cotson. I'm Jack Brickhouse along with Irv Cotson and Frank Babcock.
- 1:44:50We've got ourselves a real rouser again today. The Brairston Packers, the 99th meeting of these two ball clubs. Mack Percival will attempt to kick one now from the 29 yard line of Green Bay.
- 1:45:00Richie Pettibone who was groggy a little while ago is OK now. He will hold the play style. The ball is blocked. The kick is blocked and there's a battle for the ball and it's down by a Green Bay Packer at the 20 yard line.
- 1:45:24It's blocked too. And so Green Bay takes the ball. First and 10 to go now on their 20 yard line. And Mack Percival's string is broken. 8.03 to go. Time out. We'll return with more action in just one minute.
- 1:45:40Game tied. 10 to 10. We're in the final eight minutes of this action. Here is Bart Starr throwing a sideline pass intended for Anderson. Over his head, incomplete, he was being guarded very closely by Roosevelt Taylor.
- 1:45:54And Bart threw the ball right over his head that time. It's very possible in a spot like that that Bart is allowed to throw that ball over the ball and that receiver said deliberately too.
- 1:46:04Yes, Jack. Rich Smith did an interesting column on that talking about passers throwing the ball deliberately out of bounds are really guilty, he says, of deliberately grounding the ball.
- 1:46:14But of course that's not true in most cases even when they throw the ball out of bounds. There is a receiver in the area and consequently no official when he sees a receiver in the area is going to call it deliberate bounding of the ball.
- 1:46:26Here goes, Jack. Second down, 10. Once again, Bart Starr backpedals. He looks, he waits, he waits, he may run. He's smeared. A Radavitz got to him. He waited too long.
- 1:46:37As a matter of fact, he finally collided with Boris Gregg, his own tackle who's backed up for pass protection. And then as Bart saw Big Hole there, saw nobody open, so maybe he tried to make a little yardage.
- 1:46:48He bumped into his own man and that slowed him up enough so that the loss carries all the way back to the 14 yard line. It now becomes third down. Here's Bart Starr.
- 1:46:58Here's the kind of a situation that has made Bart Starr, Bart Starr. Third down and 16 to go. Now the Bears need to hold here, but this guy is so good at picking the right player and the right play for this particular long yardage type pass.
- 1:47:12Let's see what he comes up with now. He sends...
- 1:47:17...Roddy James who just came in, way out to the left. Brought it to the left now is Dale. Here he is looking left, now right, now left. Backed up to the goal line. He's almost at the end zone. He starts to run. He knocks the arm. He's with the 20, the 25. He is knocked out of bounds. He is knocked out of bounds at about the 29 yard line.
- 1:47:39The Bears had real good pass protection going that time and Bart Starr was back up all the way where he was one foot in the end zone. Made it almost back to first down yardage. Just going to be very, very close.
- 1:47:52And Starr incidentally was shaken up a little on the play and so was one of the Bears who bumped him out of bounds.
- 1:47:58Oh boy, if he does this again. Of course the Bears are claimed to have only had 10 men on the field in that last one that last year, although we haven't been sure. And here's the kick. He gets it high. Bear catch called for. Hang on to it, kid. And he does.
- 1:48:12It's hung on to with the 35 yard line to the Bears by Cecil Turner. 35 yard. That bump was no fake bargain. That now was seven seconds to go in the football game. The game all tied up 10 to 10. The Bears have the ball first and 10 to go and they're on 35 yard line.
- 1:48:29And here's the final. Baltimore 26 to New York. Nothing. Hang on to your seat. Hang on to your hat to fasten your seat belt. This one is liable to beat something. Six minutes and 55 seconds.
- 1:48:46Game tied 10 to 10. Here's Carter and the handoff to Gale Sayers. Picks his way. Finds a little hole. Moves up to the 40 yard line. So number 40 carries to the 40. He's got five, maybe six yards on the play.
- 1:48:59Turner in the slot to the left. You have Bullensayers in the new smack field for the Bears. Carter hands off to Sayers. He sweeps off to the right side. But he can't. Wait a minute. A combo. And a pick up by a Packer. It's picked up by Adderley. He's stuck from behind.
- 1:49:1614 yard line by Turner. Gale Sayers tackles as he's got up to the right side. Balls down. Looses the ball. Stacked by Herb Adderley. And the Packers have a chance to go out in front now. With that ball returned all the way to the Bears. 14 yard line by Herb Adderley.
- 1:49:34Oh brother, what a heartbreaking development for Bear fans. 557 to go in this game. The ball on the 14 yard line. First and 10 now for the Green Bay Packers. And this is a made order situation for Bob Star.
- 1:49:50The Bears defense has a human job cut out for it now. They're all lined up. First and 10 to go on the Bear 14. Here is a handoff to Anderson. He goes out to the right side. Blowed up by Joe Taylor and knocked down by Baphon and Buccus. He got one, maybe two on the play.
- 1:50:08Here's the snap star handing off again to Anderson. He sweeps around the left side. He tries to turn the corner and he's knocked down. Off balance by Joe Taylor. Moving up from the secondary. Hardly any gain on the play. Possibly a yard. Possibly nothing. Let's see where they decide to spot the ball.
- 1:50:24They bring it up to the sidelines. He actually lost a little on the play. It's going to be third down now as the Bear defense continues to try to hold these Green Bay Packers. Willie Holman racing it to the sidelines. He has replaced Lloyd Phillips for the Bears. Third down for the pack.
- 1:50:38Just about eight yards to go for a first down. Here's the signal. The snap. The handoff to Anderson. He's going to throw a left handed pass maybe. He may have to run with it. Here's Holman. He's got him down at the 16 yard line.
- 1:50:52Chuck Merceen is in there. He is trying to tempt a field goal. The kick will come from just about the 22 yard line with three minutes and 43 seconds showing on the clock.
- 1:51:05Bartzog will hold the play down. The kick is in the air. Wait a minute. Oh good. Oh good. And the Bears take over on the 20 yard line. Oh brother. Whoo. Next time you come bar, drink my stomach. And here to score is 10-10 in what is shaping up as another one of those flip hanging finishes Jack.
- 1:51:26And the slider to the right. He spreads Gary Wilde out there as a flanker. Austin Denny is a tight left end. Here's the handoff to Sayers. He cuts inside Cadille and he spins away from a couple of men. A fumble. Battle for the ball at the 25 yard line. The Bears recover.
- 1:51:42Game all tied 10-10. Out of the huddle they come. Jerry Lyle is way here to the left. It's a flanker left now. Cecil Turner. Austin Denny a tight right end on this play. They've reversed from the last play. Here's the handoff to Sayers again. No hole so he makes his own.
- 1:51:58He moves to the side and he gets up to the 30 yard line. It's going to be close to a first down. He may have made it all the way for a first down yardie. Third down and well they're officially going to call it one but I'll tell you right now it can't be more than two or three inches because the nose of that ball is almost at the 30 yard line.
- 1:52:15They started out on a touchback from the 20. Felicia Carter punches over trying to get two or three inches for a first down. That's what it is. Virgil Carter head down, bores in and it looks like he's made his first down yardie to all right.
- 1:52:33Virgil Carter made him throw a yard on the play and that was a very precious yard. One of the most important single yards we'll have all afternoon maybe. Two minutes to go in the game to score. The Bears 10, the Packers 10 and we'll be back with more action in just a minute.
- 1:52:47The ball deepened up at least the next couple of minutes so that we can come up with another one of those first of all miracles in the final seconds. Let's see what he does. First and 10 for the Bears. The ball is on their own 31. Here's Virgil Carter rolling up to the right. Blocked by Cadil and Wotaka. Rolls around the right side. Spikes away from Robinson. He's at the 40. He's in the way and gets up to the 45 yard line.
- 1:53:06Virgil Carter coming up with a very fine movement against Robinson, the linebacker, one of the surest tacklers in the game of football. Now it is first and 10 for the Bears on their own 45 yard line. They line up, no huddles. Here's the pass.
- 1:53:23A sideline pass that was deflected and unfortunately it was incomplete. Dave Robinson deflecting it. Almost intercepting it from here. Wouldn't that have been something if the guys were to deliver it out of our pass trying to stop the clock. Wouldn't that have been something if that would have been intercepted.
- 1:53:40Well as I've said we've had everything else happen here today. First and 10 for the Bears. Make that second and 10 for the Bears. And here's the hand off the fair. Squeaks around the right side. He doesn't have much real estate and he goes out of bounds as he tackles at the knees by Robinson. Advancing the ball to the 47, possibly the 48 yard line.
- 1:53:59But you know he can walk that tightrope as well as anybody if he gets an opening. It's hard to over emphasize the importance of this particular play. Third down a long yard he's now. Third down an ace. They've got to get eight yards here in order to keep possession of that football.
- 1:54:13Here's the snap. Farter back. And the ball is batted up a knee as he starts forward with it. It'll probably be ruled an incomplete pass but the rush was on. He was met by Jordan, by Willie Davis who got through there. Lyle Aldrich crashed in and Doded Brown. They all got on him as a matter of fact Brown obscured them from sight the way he draped over him.
- 1:54:34And that goes then as. Wait a minute they're not ruling that an incomplete pass. They are ruling that a play. And the ball is down at the 40 yard line. They are and the officials are conferring and one of the officials are are you sure that's not an incomplete pass?
- 1:54:50He's not an emotion but apparently apparently now the Bears are going to have to punt the football. With one pin to go John Kilgore standing on his 25 yard line. He'll kick from about the 29. And there's the pass to center. He gets the kick away.
- 1:55:08A hand over and it's just a fair punt but it takes a fair bounce. Takes a bounce on the deep man at the 15 yard line but he hangs on to it. Willie Wood. He was hit by Major Hazelden coming down very fast. Tried to deflect the ball and just lodged it from Willie Wood's grip.
- 1:55:24The Packers fall now with 56 seconds to go. 45 yards net from Scrimmage. It was not exactly a pitcher but punt but it got the job he had. So now the Packers are the ones who are if anything in the driver's seat in the game. Let's see what Bod Star does.
- 1:55:41How about a nice interception fellas. Here's Star throwing up the sideline. Oh brother Joe Taylor nearly intercepted that one. He made a dive in front of Carroll Dale at the sideline. 48 seconds to go in the game.
- 1:55:54He's all tied up here now. 10 to 10. The Bears and the Packers. Head bumping like crazy today. Rock them and sock them. Here's 6 brawling. And believe me we've got ourselves a kind of a contest that will be talked about for a long time no matter how it comes out. Number 99 in the series. That means when they get back in Wrigley Field later on it's going to be number 100 in this great historic series.
- 1:56:16This legendary series in the annals of sport in our great country. The ball is on the 15 yard line. The Packers are 85 yards away from the bare goal. Bob Skromsky in their left tackle. Being sized up now by John Johnson and by Phillips who want to make a good rush.
- 1:56:31And here is the rush now as Bob Skromsky moves back he avoids the Bradovich. He throws a wobbly pass incomplete. The target was Elijah Fitz just over the line at the 21 yard line. One of those short yardage passes hoping that Elijah could rip off enough gain to get down there into bear territory.
- 1:56:48And this next play is going to be intensely significant because if they don't make good yardage on this play on third down and tenth the Bears can still get that football because the Packers it would be reasonably safe to say I think if anything is reasonably safe to say in this game would have to punt.
- 1:57:10And the Bears would still get their hands on the football once more. Who knows it could be a lousy punt. We've had a couple of those today too. Deer Star dropping back. Hang on there boys don't let him complete this one. It is complete and out of bounds at the 24 yard line.
- 1:57:24What he was out about when he caught the ball. There's a break for the Bears. That puts the ball back on the 15 yard line. 38 seconds to go in this game. Now let's don't have anything silly like roughing a kicker on this one boys but if you want to block it it's all right with Cup and me.
- 1:57:42Donnie Anderson dropping back to about the goal line. Bill kick about the four and dropping back for the Chicago Bears our players that Cecil can't rise there's a kick he gets it away.
- 1:57:56It comes up here and it's caught down at the Green Bay Packers 44 yard line. 32 seconds to go in this game. The game is tied 10 to 10. Now here's the story. The Bears are entitled to a free kick. A fair kick.
- 1:58:15Here's the rule. After a five point on the next play here's a free kick for a field goal. Here's the book watch it. Hit hit.
- 1:58:26The rule in the book. There's a rule in the book that says after a fair kick is called for after a punt on the ensuing play a team is entitled to a free kick either by place kick or by tee up or rather by place down or by drop kick.
- 1:58:54But what happened there the Bears called for the right to employ that particular rule. Mack Percival had to be given a 10 yard restraining wall a free area of 10 yards.
- 1:59:04Nobody could rush him. The rule called for the Chicago Bears to be allowed to kick that ball as a free kick.
- 1:59:11And if that ball went between the goalpost it was going to be three points down. The Bears have made that kick 43 yards and they lead 13 to 10 in this game with 23 seconds to go.
- 1:59:24I'm telling you we have had ourselves some football the last couple of weeks in this United States of America. If you're around the Chicago Bears Percival will kick off now for the Bears.
- 1:59:33There's a pack of crowd that's absolutely stunned and I have a feeling about 45000 people don't understand that rule. Here's the kickoff. It comes down here to Travis Williams at the five. He's at the 10, the 20, 25.
- 1:59:45He's met hard by Mike Riley and by Ralph Keurig. And he is hit and knocked down by them and by Prewald at the 27 yard line. 21 seconds to go. 21 seconds showing on the clock and I'm going to tell you something. If you think this game is going to be talked about for a while.
- 2:00:04And back goes Star now. He's going to go for the bound. He's still dangerous. He throws a sideline pass, hit juggle and then grabbed by Elijah Pitts who's tackled inbound. Tackled inbound by Doug LaFont and with 13 seconds to go now at the 29 yard line of Green Bay.
- 2:00:19The Green Bay Packers on the football and they grabbed themselves one of the few remaining timeouts they own. Timeout has been called by the Green Bay Packers and brothers of the Bears hang on to this football game I guarantee you. The first one is on me tonight.
- 2:00:35All right. But our way to the left is James this time. There's Star looking and he says go on upfield boys and he hits himself down there and the ball is fumbled. However the play has been whiskled dead as the Packers fall at the 37, 38 yard line of Green Bay.
- 2:00:51And the ball tackled the man. The Bears have what was called a prevent defense right now. In other words preventing us from bound. Five seconds to go this football game. The football game is all over. The Bears 13 to Packers 10 in one of the most wild finishes.
- 2:01:08One of the most spectacular games. I didn't think anything could top last week but believe me for suspense and for absolute startling shocking dramatic turn of events this ball game today has got to go in the books as one of the greatest in this entire series.
- 2:01:22The final score the Chicago Bears 13 the Green Bay Packers 10 as they reverse the score of the two games of the two teams that they played up here last year at this time couple have a read. Wrap in just a moment. The final score the Bears 13 Green Bay 10.
