The Upstart World Football League only played one full season in 1974 before folding halfway through their 1975 season.
0:15
The league featured many NFL stars that jumped or extended their career by playing in the WFL.
0:21
On November 21, 1974, the league's Western Division champion Southern California Sun hosted the second-place Hawaiian team during the opening quarterfinal round of the 1974 playoffs.
0:33
This is the local Hawaiian radio broadcast featuring announcer Mel Proctor.
0:54
Good evening everyone, Mel Proctor speaking to you from the Big A in Anaheim, California, Anaheim Stadium where tonight the Hawaiians meet the Southern California Sun in the first-round World Football League playoff game.
1:06
The on-again, off-again playoffs are finally underway tonight and all of the teams involved have put their problems aside and are now concentrating on winning football games.
1:15
In a game already underway in Orlando, the Florida Blazers are meeting the Philadelphia Bell in a nationally televised game.
1:21
The winner will meet Memphis next Friday in Memphis.
1:24
Here in Anaheim, the Hawaiians meet the Southern California Sun.
1:27
The winner of this game will go on to meet Birmingham next Wednesday in either Birmingham or possibly in Hawaii if the Hawaiians win tonight.
1:35
The Hawaiians and the Sun have already played twice during the regular season.
1:39
Southern California won the first game 38-31 during the first week of the season here at Anaheim.
1:44
And three weeks ago in Honolulu Stadium, the Hawaiians gained a measure of revenge beating the Sun 29-8.
1:51
Tonight's game will feature Southern California, the Western Division winner with a 13-7 record against the strong finishing Hawaiians who were 9-11 overall, good for second place in the West, and who went 7-3 during the second half of the season.
2:05
The Sun also went 7-3 but they lost three of their last four ball games.
2:09
And tonight's game will feature two of the best passing attacks in the league. Southern California, the top ranked passing club led by rookie quarterback Tony Adams who before this game received a trophy as the Sun's most valuable player this season.
2:21
And the Hawaiians are led by the veteran Randy Johnson who has completed over 57% of his passes since joining the team.
2:28
And wide receiver Tim Delaney, the leading pass catcher in the league with 89 receptions for 1,232 yards and a touchdown.
2:36
And we'll have more pregame activity in a moment.
2:40
If you're looking for a way to put a great tire on your car for a very low price, listen to this.
2:48
Firestone stores and participating dealers have put discount prices on their deluxe champion polyester core tires.
2:55
You pay only $18.90 for size B 78-13 Blackwall, plus federal excise tax of $1.83 per tire and your old tire.
3:05
Discount prices on all sizes, Blackwalls and White.
3:09
Figure it this way, depending on size, you can put on a set of four tires for anywhere from $21 to $31 below our regular prices and Firestone mounts them free.
3:21
Use your Firestone revolving charge or any one of five nationally known charge cards.
3:26
Firestone Smooth Riding Deluxe Champion. Discount prices now.
3:31
Firestone, Firestone, Firestone.
3:39
The junior football teams are taking part in a game down in the field right now, the Santa Ana All-Americans and the Tustin Bobcats as the band moves out to the edge of the field.
4:02
The senior football team is leading the receiver and second leading rusher is out of this ball game with knee and ankle problems.
4:09
The Sun's second leading pass catcher Dave Williams has his sprained ankle.
4:12
Number one rusher Kermit Johnson has a pinched nerve in his neck.
4:15
Their top defensive tackle Dave Roller has a bruised thigh.
4:18
Sunny tied in Dave Parks with bad back and quarterback Tony Adams has a sore arm.
4:23
And all but McAllister will play, so it sounds a little bit like a hospital report.
4:27
Don't feel sorry for Tom Fiers, he's a veteran coach who's been in pro ball for many years and the Hawaiian coaches who know him feel that he's been known to exaggerate in injury situations in order to get his opponent to let down his guard.
4:39
The Hawaiians too have a couple of injuries coming into this game but nothing too serious.
4:43
Defensive tackle Ron East strained his knee last week and running back Vinny Clements has an ailing shoulder.
4:48
They will both play.
4:49
Also linebacker Dave Ulrich broke a small bone in the back of his thumb he was operated on. They put a pin in the thumb and he's playing with a fiberglass cap that will be encased in rubber tonight but all three of those players will play.
5:02
Despite all of the problems, all of the distractions in the last week, the Hawaiians are ready for this ball game.
5:07
They really feel that they can beat any team in the league and they're ready to go out and do just that tonight as they meet the Southern California Sun.
5:14
And Hawaiian football warmup continues shortly.
5:17
I'd like to report an immovable object.
5:20
Oh an immovable object? Okay where did you see this immovable object?
5:23
It was on the corner of Whitehall and Kapiolani, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, three garages, two large halls in the ground.
5:29
Two large halls in the ground. How long has it been immovable?
5:31
About six months, no movement.
5:33
Six months.
5:34
Could you use your secret weapon on it?
5:35
Oh well our secret weapon is pretty busy these days but I'll tell you what we'll do. If you can sing our song.
5:41
Real estate one is the one. That one?
5:44
That's the one. Consider it done.
5:46
If you'd like to report an immovable object, call real estate one today.
5:51
Real estate one is the one. Real estate one is the one.
5:58
Offices in Kailua, Kahala, Ewa, and Mililani Town.
6:02
One more time.
6:04
Real estate one is the one. Real estate one is the one.
6:11
Offices in Kailua, Kahala, Ewa, and Mililani Town.
6:15
Tonight's game should be an interesting matchup with the Sun first in passing against the Hawaiians defense.
6:25
But in the second half of this season it's been the WFL's best with the addition of veterans like Defensive Axe Willie Williams and Chuck Dedweiler.
6:32
And linebackers like Jim Snidecky, John Douglas, and Adrian Young.
6:35
In the last ten games the Hawaiians have allowed an average of just 98.4 yards per game.
6:41
That's the best figure in the league.
6:43
And the key is as far as the Hawaiians are concerned as they move on to the field, they have to keep pressure on quarterback Tony Adams.
6:49
He was sacked six times in the last meeting between these two teams and he completed just six out of 19 passes and he had two intercepted.
6:56
So they will have to keep the pressure on Mr. Adams tonight.
6:59
They also have to contain Kermit Johnson who has rushed for over 1,000 yards this year.
7:04
Offensively Randy Johnson has to continue his hot passing last time against the Sun. He hit on 17 of 32 for over 200 yards and two touchdowns.
7:13
So it will be the Hawaiians who will be taking their first step towards a possible World Football League title tonight.
7:18
And stay tuned as the Hawaiians meet the Southern California Sun.

15:23
RA copies will kick off for the Hawaiians.
15:28
They'll be defending the south goal.
15:29
Southern California will be receiving and defending the north goal.
15:33
Back deep for the sun, Alonzo Emory and Keith Denson.
15:36
Denson on the near side, Emory on the far side.
15:38
A couple of rookies.
15:40
Denson from San Diego State and Emory from Arizona State.
15:44
The World Football League playoffs are finally underway.
15:47
We're about to get underway.
15:49
After several delays, I know the players are very anxious to get going.
15:52
And the Hawaiians figure they can take it all.
15:55
Taking one step at a time, they have to beat Southern California tonight.
15:59
Kapech is ready to go to work.
16:01
Soccer-style kicker moves up to the football, gets his foot into it.
16:04
A high short kick will be taken at the 15-yard line by Denson.
16:09
Straight up field of the 20.
16:10
25, 30. Up to the 40.
16:12
Turns the corner and he's dragged down from behind at the sun 47-yard line.
16:16
And John Mosley pulled him down.
16:18
And Denson nearly falls away and went for the distance on that point.
16:25
A 37-yard return by Keith Denson.
16:30
And we may have a penalty as the discussion centers at the 47-yard line.
16:35
Dave Ulrich comes over for the Hawaiians.
16:38
And the specialty in the kicking team is coming back onto the field for the Hawaiians.
16:41
They've got an offside penalty against Southern California.
16:44
So that will nullify that fine 37-yard return by Denson.
16:48
And Kapech will kick the ball once again, this time from the 35-yard line.
16:51
The Hawaiians, 35.
16:54
Five-yard offside penalty against the sun.
16:57
So that gives a break for the Hawaiians.
16:59
Southern California would have had the ball at their 47-yard line.
17:03
Let's wait and see what Mr. Denson or Mr. Emery will do with it this time.
17:09
Southern California very slow to set up.
17:11
I think they're a little bit disgusted at that call.
17:15
And it looks like some arguing taking place in the far side of the field.
17:19
Tom Sears talking things over with one of the officials.
17:22
The officials tonight, the referee is Jack Baker.
17:24
The umpire is George Kennard.
17:26
The headlinesman is Harry Utoff.
17:28
The line judge, Phil Osborne.
17:30
The back judge is Roy Soster.
17:31
And the field judge is Jack Harper.
17:33
Kapech is ready once again.
17:35
Denson and Emery waiting for it at the 7-yard line.
17:39
So an auspicious debut here in this World Football League playoff game
17:43
as the opening kickoff is replayed.
17:45
Kapech sends it high and deep this time.
17:47
It will be taken at the 7-yard line by Denson.
17:49
Up to the 10, the 15.
17:50
Fronts laterally at the 20.
17:52
Heads to the 25.
17:53
Stops, puts on the break.
17:54
He gets up to the 30.
17:55
And he's dragged down at the 35-yard line.
17:58
He's dead and bringing it back 27 yards.
18:04
And John Douglas making the stop.
18:09
It will be first and 10 for Southern California as they spot the ball at the sun 34.
18:15
Tony Adams at quarterback.
18:16
Greg Heard and Alonzo Emery in the backfield.
18:20
So Kermit Johnson is injured and will not start.
18:22
Ralph Nelson is in there along with Heard.
18:25
Dave Williams put out to the left side.
18:28
In motion comes Ike Harris.
18:30
The backs in the eye formation.
18:31
Adams pitches to Nelson, flipping the right side.
18:33
Tries to turn the corner but he's chopped down at the 35-yard line.
18:36
Good defensive play that time by Ray Hester and Phil Andre.
18:40
As they cut off the outside, forced Nelson to the inside.
18:45
He picked up about two yards and that's about it.
18:48
Second down and eight for Southern California.
18:50
That's their 37-yard line.
18:53
Opening minute of play from Anaheim Stadium.
18:56
These two teams have met twice during the regular season.
18:59
Each team winning a game.
19:01
They also took part in two preseason scrimmages.
19:04
Second down and eight.
19:05
Dave Williams twists to the left side.
19:07
Harris inside of him.
19:08
The backs are split.
19:09
Heard and Nelson.
19:10
Adams takes the snap to give to Nelson up the middle.
19:13
And he punches forward up to the 40-yard line where he's brought down.
19:17
Phil Andre on the stop.
19:19
Along with Gary Backus to pick up a four-yard.
19:23
It'll be third down and about three.
19:27
Along three yards to go for this time.
19:29
They have the ball at their 41-yard line.
19:31
Southern California is the top passing team in the league.
19:35
Quarterback Tony Adams, throwing for better than 3,000 yards this year.
19:38
He's just a rookie.
19:39
What a future he's got.
19:41
This time Williams flanks to the right side, picked up by Otto Brown.
19:45
And Ike Harris flips out to the left side.
19:48
Facing Willie Williams.
19:49
The backs in the eye.
19:50
Adams gives the second hand through Nelson.
19:52
He punches forward and appears to be stopped shy in the first down as they wrap him up.
19:57
Levi Stanley on the stop.
20:00
It's going to be very close to a first down, but he looks to be short from our vantage point.
20:04
And he'll bring out the dickarod for a measurement.
20:09
Southern California with a 13-7 record coming into this game.
20:13
But they have lost three out of their last four.
20:17
Now they're going to bring the dickarod and the football out to the center of the field for a closer look.
20:25
Lem Burnham and Hester in there making sure, and they are short of the first down,
20:30
by about half the length of a football.
20:32
So it'll be fourth down and less than a yard for Southern California.
20:36
They have the ball at their own 44-yard line.
20:42
Southern California prior is Norm Haneland.
20:45
And like many players, he's had back problems.
20:47
The sun will go for the one yard, actually less than a yard.
20:50
So a big decision here.
20:52
And Clay Jeffries is in at running back.
20:54
They go from the power line formation to give to Jeffries up the middle.
20:57
He punches forward and it's going to be very, very close as he ran into a stone wall in the person of Levi Stanley.
21:03
But they have the first down.
21:05
So Clay Jeffries entered the game for one play and picked up the first down.
21:11
They needed less than a yard.
21:14
So it's first and 10 for the sun at their 45-yard line.
21:17
No score with 0-25 remaining.
21:20
Substitution on defense, Lem Burnham goes out.
21:23
And Rich Watkins comes in at defensive left end.
21:27
Watkins, a rookie from Weber State who's been injured for most of this year.
21:33
Williams splits to the left side along with Ike Harris.
21:35
Harris is the inside man.
21:37
Nelson and Hurd the running backs as Harris goes in motion to the near side.
21:40
Adams takes the snap to give to Nelson up the middle.
21:43
He is clobbered as he crosses the 45-yard line.
21:46
Nelson really hit hard by Ray Hester, a third-year veteran from Tulane.
21:50
He picked up about a yard.
21:52
Burnham comes back in and Adrian Young checks in on defense for the Hawaiians.
21:56
Rich Watkins goes out along with Ray Hester.
22:00
They like to use Adrian Young on passing situations, second and nine or third and eighth, the long yardage situation.
22:07
They feel that Young is very strong in zone coverage, an old pro who's been around for a while.
22:14
Second down, nine for the Sun as the backs shift out of the eye.
22:18
Adams bobbles the snap, drops back, fires his spot, making the grab as Dave Harkes is right-handed.
22:24
He's across the 40, down to 35, still on his feet.
22:27
He's gang tackled and blocked with a Hawaiian 30-yard line.
22:32
24-yard pick-up.
22:34
He bobbles the snap, he was trying to find the handle as he was back-pedaling to set up.
22:40
And then he flipped it over the middle to find in Dave Harkes, a nine-year veteran from Texas Tech.
22:45
Brought down there by Chuck Detweiler and Willie Williams.
22:49
So it's first and ten for the Sun at the Hawaiian 30-yard line.
22:54
And Adams goes to the air for the first time and finds success.
23:01
First and ten for the Sun.
23:02
No score, 10-41 remaining in the opening quarter.
23:05
Williams and Harris again split out to the left side.
23:07
The backs in the eye.
23:08
The up man is Greg Hurd, a fine blocker.
23:11
Adams on the gift to Nelson, sweeping the right side, following Grady.
23:14
Gets a block, gets across the 30, and gets up to the 33-yard line before he's ridden to the sideline by Chuck Detweiler.
23:21
Jim Snidecki also in on the stop.
23:24
Across that offensive line, Joe Carollo and Paul Seiler at the tackles.
23:28
Mike Ryan and Kevin Grady the guards, and Ted Seepert is the center.
23:35
It'll be second down and seven for the Sun, a pick-up of three yards.
23:39
Nelson so far, five carries for 13 yards.
23:43
Although he doesn't have the big reputation of a James McAllister or a Kermit Johnson,
23:47
the Hawaiian coaches feel that Nelson is just as good as the other two.
23:50
He's only 20 years of age, never played college football.
23:55
Second down, seven.
23:57
As Adams goes to work, stumbles as he drops back, being chased out of the pocket, gets away from Lortz, sets up, fires back across the grave,
24:04
and Nelson cannot make a diving catch at the 18-yard line.
24:07
Nelson was open, but Adams had to throw the pass kind of across court pass,
24:14
and he didn't get enough mustard on it, and it fell short.
24:17
So the pass goes in complete. It's now third down and seven.
24:21
As Lortz chased Adams out of the pocket, Adams is a fine scrambler.
24:26
That's the good wheel.
24:28
Last time these two clubs met, he was sacked six times by the Hawaiians.
24:32
Adams has really taken a beating lately.
24:34
Last week against Florida, he was sacked five times.
24:39
Third and seven for the Sun as they operate from their 27-yard line, no score with 938 remaining in the first quarter.
24:48
Lindsey is in now at wide receiver. He's put out to the right side.
24:52
And a flag on the play. I think Southern California took too much time.
24:55
That's the call, the way of game.
24:58
Derry Lindsey, a rookie from Cal State Fullerton, is in at wide receiver.
25:05
Replacing Dave Williams.
25:09
Five-yard penalty stepped up. That will make it third and 13.
25:16
The ball at the 33-yard line of the Hawaiians. Southern California on the move.
25:21
Lindsey goes wide to the right, picked up by Otto Brown.
25:24
Harris, split left, picked up by Willie Williams.
25:28
The back shift out of the eye. Adams takes the snap. He'll throw.
25:31
Back he goes. Set, looks. Has going to have to run.
25:33
Sprints up the middle, has some running room across the 30.
25:36
Trying to get to the outside and he's brought down to 31-yard line.
25:40
They're making up the 29-yard line. A pick-up of four yards. Adrian Young on the stop defensively.
25:47
So it'll be fourth down.
25:49
Fourth and nine.
25:52
Fourth down and nine for Southern California.
25:56
And Rod Garcia, a soccer-style kicker from Stanford, is in the ball game.
26:03
Holding for him will be Tony Adams.
26:05
And his field goal attempt will be from the 37-yard line, so it's a 47-yard field goal attempt.
26:12
Garcia to try. Adams to hold.
26:14
The snap, the spot, the kick is way short as it hits in the front of the end zone.
26:21
The field goal attempt fails. The timeout on the field with the score, the Southern California sun, nothing, and the Hawaiians, nothing.
26:28
Homeowners, how would you like to expand the facilities of your home perhaps out of the Nile?
26:32
Another bedroom or a carport for that new car?
26:35
There is an easy economical way. Get in touch with the folks from Low Budget Homes, Inc.
26:39

26:46
They'll do residential, industrial, and commercial building jobs, so give a call to Low Budget Homes, 2828 Paha Street, phone 833-3031.
26:54
Come out to Fisher Hawaii next to Gibson, a poona poona Paha Street store.
27:00
Getting ripped off on office furniture and supplies, waiting for mainland back orders, well my friend, Fisher Hawaii undersells their competitors by 20, 30, 40, sometimes 50 percent.
27:07
And they have $750,000 worth of merchandise in stock right now.
27:11
Hey, hey, that merchandise is moving and the prices are down. We got the only office product supermarket in town.
27:17
Fisher Hawaii, 40, office supplies, right prices, right prices, right now.
27:24
So the Hawaiians go to work first and 10 from their 31 yard line.
27:36
And the
27:39
California drive stalls out.
27:41
Looking for the bomb on first down and loads it for Eisenberger.
27:45
And he does not have it.
27:47
John almost folded in down at the Southern California 31.
27:51
There was Keaton back there battling with Eisenberger for the football.
27:55
So the Hawaiians go for broke on first down and Johnson unloaded a bomb.
28:00
It was thrown a little bit short of Eisenberger.
28:02
He's going to come back and get it and look for a moment like he made the reception.
28:06
But they bring the ball back to the Hawaiians 30, where it will be second and 10.
28:11
940 remaining in a scoreless first quarter.
28:14
Delaney and Richardson put out to the right side.
28:17
Al Davis and Ben Clements running back. The tight end is John Kelsey.
28:20
Johnson on the give to Davis up the middle finds a little daylight.
28:24
And Al is on the 33 yard line where he's wrapped up.
28:28
Went on to stop defensively. Former University of Hawaii player.
28:32
6'7", 264 pounds.
28:35
A five-year veteran.
28:37
Player to rescue.
28:46
Third down five now for the Hawaiians.
28:48
As they operate from the 33 yard line, Eisenberger to the left, Delaney to the right.
28:53
Jim Cadeal over the ball at center.
28:56
Long count by Johnson. He'll throw.
28:58
Set up short, looks right, throws to the short man Davis.
29:01
Up to the 40 and falls forward to the Hawaiians 45 yard line.
29:05
Good job.
29:06
Middle linebacker Ken Lee on the top.
29:11
And that will give the Hawaiians a first down.
29:14
Lee played very little the last time he slept back.
29:17
He had a pitch nerve in his neck, but he's a fine linebacker.
29:20
A four-year veteran from Washington.
29:22
Former starter with the Buffalo Bills.
29:24
First and 10 for the Hawaiians. That's their 45 yard line.
29:27
Brady Richardson flips out to the right side.
29:30
Picked up by Jack Connors.
29:32
And Kim Delaney will remain in tight on the left side.
29:35
Davis and Clements set behind Johnson.
29:38
They give to Clements, over right tackle.
29:40
A quick opener and he gets out near midfield.
29:43
Clements nearly ran right past the football.
29:46
Johnson almost missed the handoff.
29:48
As Vinnie really got out of the starting block.
29:50
Charles DeJardin away from San Jose State on the stop.
29:53
And Eisenbarger enters the Hawaiian lineup.
29:55
Bring in a play.
29:57
It'll be second down and seventh.
29:59
The ball at the 48 yard line.
30:02
Delaney flips to the right. Eisenbarger to the left.
30:05
Delaney the leading pass catcher in the league.
30:07
Johnson back fiddling quickly. Fires for Delaney.
30:09
And he has him on a sideline pattern.
30:11
Kim steps out of bounds and he's done 42 after picking up a first down.
30:17
The sure hands of Tim Delaney coming through once again.
30:20
He finished with 89 receptions, the top total in the league.
30:24
And Delaney was voted the top offensive player by his teammates.
30:29
First and 10 for the Hawaiians as they are putting together a drive.
30:33
It started back at their own 30.
30:35
They have it at the sun 43 right now.
30:38
Delaney and Richardson flip to the left side.
30:41
Johnson on the give to Al Davis following John Wilco around the right side.
30:45
And he's knocked down as he gets up to 42 yard line.
30:48
Good play by defensive tackle Dave Roller.
30:51
No gain on the play.
30:53
Roller is a real favorite here in Anaheim.
30:56
They have fan clubs for them just like they have for Levi Stanley, Levi's Kanaka Army, and Lortz's Torches, the Carl Lortz.
31:03
East feast for Ron East.
31:07
I don't know if they call them the holy rollers or not.
31:11
Second down 10 for the Hawaiians.
31:13
Eisenbarger back in. He flips out to the left side along with Delaney.
31:17
Eisenbarger is the inside man.
31:20
Johnson back pedaling.
31:22
Lookie trying to set up the screen.
31:24
Fires at the pass is reflected and nearly picked off by John Hoffman, a big defensive end.
31:30
Johnson with a deep drop back trying to let that screen form on the left side.
31:35
And they kind of dumped it.
31:37
And it was tipped and almost picked off by Hoffman.
31:41
If the pass goes incomplete it will be third or tenth for the Hawaiians with the sun 43.
31:48
Vinnie Clements leaves the ball game.
31:52
And Clayton Heath is in for it.
31:54
The rookie from Wake Forest.
31:56
The back to Smith behind Johnson who looks at a passing situation.
31:59
Randall Throw sets up.
32:01
Looking, fires, the pass is deflected at the line of scrimmage.
32:04
As Big John Hoffman got his arms up and knocked it down.
32:08
The defense has stand for the sun.
32:12
And you can send a lot of that to John Hoffman, five year veteran from the University of Hawaii.
32:18
He was the rule all-American back in 1967.
32:20
And for those UH fans who remember Hoffman, he played on the same team with Larry Cole, now the Dallas Cowboys.
32:28
It will be fourth and tenth now and Gary Backus, the punter, jumps in.
32:31
He will be putting it away from his own 42 yard line.
32:34
In single safety is Keith Denson at the 10 yard line, a two man about 10 yards in front of him.
32:41
Backus with a high, booming kick as he goes for the right corner.
32:45
Denson fields it at the 10, doubles, momentarily gets up to the 15 or he's chopped down.
32:50
A flag on the play.
32:52
I'm not sure they gave Denson the necessary...
32:54
33 yards.
32:55
Yards.
32:56
Denson.
32:57
A 33 yard pass by Backus.
33:00
Let's see what the penalty will be.
33:02
Levi Stanley.
33:03
Looks like an illegal procedure call against the Hawaiians.
33:09
Or perhaps a personal file as they step it off.
33:14
There will be a 15 yarder against the Hawaiians, the Sun 27.
33:18
Interference with the catch is the call.
33:22
As they interfere to the third man Denson.
33:28
Now a timeout on the field with the score, the Southern California Sun nothing and the Hawaiians nothing.
33:35
It has its own.
33:37
You know some people seem to have everything going for them.
33:40
But we all get our problems.
33:42
Hey, no be ashamed.
33:43

34:26
You could be the one to sparkle and shine.
34:30
Security Diamond and Conrad Jewelers.
34:34
First and ten for the Sun at their 27-yard line.
34:37
As Adams goes to work, the give to the first man.
34:39
He looks for a thick hole up to 35 to 40 and down to the 44-yard line.
34:44
Greg Curve busted off right tackle.
34:47
And Chuck Denweiler cut him down.
34:49
And the 44-yard pick up 15 yards in the first down.
34:52
Heard a 245-yard rookie from Oregon.
34:56
Sherman Johnson did not start the ball game tonight.
34:59
He's leading rusher.
35:00
So they are without their leading pass catcher, James McAllister.
35:04
And they're two leading rushers in Johnson and McAllister.
35:10
Dave Williams slips out to the right side.
35:12
Eye-carrots to the left.
35:14
Nelson and Heard set in the eye behind Tony Adams.
35:17
The rookie from Utah State, some movement in the backfield.
35:19
The flags go flying.
35:20
They give this to Nelson.
35:21
He's spun around by Levi Stanley and dropped back at the 39-yard line.
35:25
It's going to be illegal motion against the Sun.
35:28
As heard, the up man in the eye was a little bit early in his movement.
35:32
Started about a step or two too soon.
35:35
So it will cost them five yards.
35:37
They're talking it over now.
35:41
Illegal motion against the Sun declined because the loss was back to about
35:46
the 39-yard line.
35:50
And a coach will always tell you to go full blast no matter what happens.
35:54
By that time it looked like the Sun didn't.
35:56
They slowed up a bit.
36:00
And the ball is fired back at the 37-yard line.
36:02
It will be second and 15.
36:06
Backs again in the eye.
36:08
Man wide to each side.
36:09
Adams on the draw to give up the middle.
36:12
And Greg Heard, he runs into a foul and he's brought down and about the line of scrimmage.
36:16
Ron East on the tackle.
36:21
Defensively, Lem Burnham and Carl Orsz at the end.
36:26
Ron East and Levi Stanley, the tackles.
36:30
Jim Snydecky, Ray Hester and Gary Backus, the linebackers.
36:34
Otto Braun and Willie Williams at the corners and Phil Andre and Chuck Detweiler, the safety.
36:41
Third down for the Sun.
36:43
Third and long yardage as the linemen set.
36:46
Adams will probably have to go to the air.
36:49
Leading passer in the league.
36:51
Jordan Rothback fires and intercepts and is picked off by the middle linebacker Snydecky.
36:55
He's up to the 30.
36:57
He's still fighting and he's brought down at about the 25-yard line.
37:02
The intended receiver was Greg Heard coming out of the backfield.
37:06
Snydecky, he's been picked off and brought about 21 yards.
37:11
And Ford Snydecky, his fifth interception of the year.
37:15
So a big play by the Hawaiian defense as they have the ball.
37:20
First down and ten at the Sun 22-yard line.
37:23
No score.
37:25
With 411 remaining in the first quarter.
37:27
Eisenbacher splits to the right side.
37:29
Delaney remains inside on the left side.
37:31
Davis and Clements, the running backs.
37:33
Johnson will throw.
37:34
Backs into the pocket, sets up, looks, fires, he's got a man open.
37:37
And it's caught by the tight end Kelsey who gets down inside the five.
37:41
To about the four-yard line.
37:43
John Kelsey, the big rookie from Missouri, 640 pounds.
37:49
Now let's pause now for station identification.
37:51
This is the Coconut Wireless Sports Network.
37:54
KGMB Sports.
37:56
Joe Moore reminding you the University of Hawaii tackles Fresno State Saturday night at 7.05 on KGMB Honolulu.
38:03
First and goal to go for the Hawaiians at the Sun 3-yard line.
38:08
As Kelsey's catch gives them the ball.
38:12
Johnson on the give, up the middle to Davis.
38:14
He has the running wheel, he's into the end zone for a touchdown.
38:16
Al Davis, dancing over a couple of fallen bodies.
38:20
And it's seven to nothing as the Hawaiians go out in front.
38:24
The key play, the reception by John Kelsey that gave them a first and goal to go situation inside the five.
38:32
So it's seven to nothing as the Hawaiians get on the board with 329 remaining in the opening quarter.
38:39
Rupi Norris-Wheath, a fine rollout quarterback, comes in.
38:46
Kelsey played the option style of football at Ole Miss.
38:50
Wheath up under center waiting for the snap.
38:54
Long count by Norris, takes the snap and gives into the line to Al Davis but he's shot down.
39:02
The action point fails.
39:04
And a turnout on the field with the score.
39:06
The Hawaiians 7 and the Southern Californians are nothing.
39:10
Just wait till you try our primo, while you won't believe the taste.
39:15
It's a taste that'll make Hawaii proud.
39:20
In the old tradition of great beer making, we take our place.
39:25
And it's time for us to really shout out loud.
39:30
Primos coming on, Primos here.
39:35
Brother, you aren't tasting it till you're tasting primo beer.
39:40
Got a brand new brew house, a lot of changes made.
39:45
And a flavor that'll put us right on top.
39:49
With pure Hawaiian water, we'll make it taste just right.
39:54
We're on our way and we aren't gonna stop.
40:00
Taste what's happening, primo beer.
40:05
Brother, you aren't tasting it till you're tasting primo beer.
40:10
R.A. Coppies sets the kickoff.
40:12
Keith Denson and Alonzo Emery back deep.
40:15
It's the Hawaiians lead 7 and nothing.
40:17
Coppies kickoff a high short kick, taken by Denson up to the 20.
40:21
The 25, the 30, gets to the sideline and he runs out of bounds at the 37 yard line.
40:26
And some of the fans aren't too happy with that.
40:30
A 20 high turn by Denson with a flag on the play.
40:34
He simply headed out of bounds.
40:36
He got to the sideline, looked like he had about 10 or 15 additional yards to run.
40:41
But when he saw a tackler coming for him, he headed straight out of bounds.
40:46
And he's got a ball at the 37 yard line.
40:49
We've got a penalty against Southern California.
40:54
As they talk things over, Dave Ulrich, the special team captain down there for the Hawaiians.
40:59
Ulrich, one of many Hawaiian players who played in previous playoff games in the NFL.
41:07
Along with Jim Snydecky and John Eisenbarger, Ulrich played with the 49ers.
41:11
They were in the playoff three years when those players were with that club.
41:15
Penalty is against the Sun.
41:19
Now wait a minute, they're going to kick the football over again.
41:25
And they'll spot the ball at the 40 yard line.
41:28
So it's a holding call, a 10 yard penalty against the Sun.
41:31
So Coppies will be kicking off at the 40.
41:35
Let's see if they can drive one in the end zone from here.
41:39
That's where it would have been kicking off last year under the old pro football rules.
41:44
The kickoff from the 30 yard line.
41:49
Denson and Emery stand back inside the 10.
41:52
Seven to nothing, the Hawaiians on top with 320 remaining in the first quarter.
41:56
These two teams have met twice this year.
41:59
Southern California winning the first game, 38 to 31.
42:02
A real shootout here at Anaheim Stadium.
42:04
And the Hawaiians taking the second game two weeks ago in Honolulu Stadium.
42:09
Coppies ready to go once again.
42:11
They're going to put into it a high end over end kick that sends Denson back to the floor.
42:15
He's up to the five, freedom field to the 10, 15, 20, 25, and's locked out at the 27 yard line.
42:21
A good hard tackle by rookie Pete Soberson from Lake University, 23 yard return.
42:28
So the Sun will go to work from their 27 yard line.
42:31
Brailing seven to nothing.
42:33
Getting back to the playoff veterans for the Hawaiians.
42:36
Jim Cadeel, sack plate on a world championship team with the Chicago Bears in 1963.
42:42
Guard John Wilbers was in the playoff seven years.
42:46
And he played in two Super Bowls as did Corny Johnson, an offensive guard.
42:50
First and 10 for the Sun.
42:52
They give up the middle to the first man through Greg Hurd.
42:55
And he punches his way across the 30 to about the 33 yard line.
42:59
He's met by middle linebacker Jim Snydecky, a gain of six yards on the play.
43:03
So he'll be second down at four.
43:06
Corny Johnson was in the playoff for three years with a ball over his full.
43:09
He was in the Super Bowl.
43:13
The Hawaiians have seven players who've seen playoff action in the National Football League.
43:19
Southern California has just two.
43:22
Carl Oates and Joe Corollo.
43:24
Second down, four for the Sun at their 33 yard line.
43:27
It's a back shift out of the eye.
43:29
Nelson and Hurd, Adam to throw.
43:31
He sets up short, looks right, he's got a man open.
43:34
And he finds Dave Williams who makes the grab on a sideline pattern at the 38.
43:38
He has the first down.
43:41
Williams, a veteran of NFL play in his eighth year,
43:44
was a former number one draft choice for St. Louis Cardinals back in 1967.
43:49
He was then traded to the San Diego Trafford and onto the Pittsburgh Steelers.
43:53
First and 10 for the Sun at their 38 yard line.
43:57
Burnham, East, Stanley and Lawrence across the front line on defense.
44:00
East beats, they have become known.
44:05
Williams twists to the left side along with Icarus.
44:08
Nelson and Hurd are split behind Adam.
44:11
Adam to play big.
44:13
Back to throw and trouble and Lawrence backs him back at the 27 yard line.
44:16
Adams tried to scamper out of trouble.
44:19
Lawrence was the first to get to it.
44:21
East and Burnham were there as well.
44:25
Good play by Carl Lawrence, the rookie from the SC.
44:29
He has really made great strides this year after making the team following a tryout camp.
44:36
He is going to have a fine future in professional football.
44:41
A loss on the play of about 10 yards and he's second down at 20.
44:47
The ball at the Sun, 28.
44:49
Seven to nothing, the Hawaiians on top with 213 remaining in the first quarter.
44:54
Aris and Williams split to the left side.
44:56
Aris comes in motion back to the near side as Adams takes the snap to give up the middle to Hurd.
45:00
A big hole up the middle.
45:02
He gets to the 32 yard line where he runs into Jim Snydecky.
45:07
So Hurd gets about five yards but they needed 20.
45:10
So it will be third and 15.
45:13
And Adams will undoubtedly have to go to the air once again.
45:18
He's thrown for almost 4,000 yards this year.
45:22
Adams tonight has hit on 2 and 3 for 29 yards.
45:27
Set all kinds of passing records at Utah State.
45:31
Third and 15 for the Sun as they operate from their 33 yard line.
45:35
Aris splits to the left side, Dave Williams to the right.
45:39
And the back to the wide split in the backfield.
45:41
Adams backs into the pocket, rolls to his right.
45:43
Look, fires, Dave Williams wide open at the 41.
45:47
Gets up to the 45 and he's brought down to the center of the field.
45:50
Very, very close to a first down.
45:54
They needed 15 yards for a first down.
45:57
And I think Williams is going to be a little bit short.
46:01
Adrian Young and Levi Stanley on the side.
46:05
They spot the football at the Sun 45 so they lack a first down by 3 yards.
46:12
Mosley drops back for the Hawaiians.
46:14
Willie Williams about 10 yards in front of him.
46:17
John Mosley standing at the 17.
46:20
Norm Heidler ranked 10th in the WFL running statistics.
46:24
He'll do the booting from his own 30.
46:26
He was in traction this morning with a bad back.
46:30
So he, like a number of Sun players, have had problems.
46:32
He takes the snap and hangs it up.
46:34
A wobbly spiral, Mosley fields it at the 25.
46:37
Up to the 30. The 35.
46:39
Almost breaks the tackle and he's dragged down to the 39 yard line.
46:43
John Mosley, the body line from Missouri, bringing it back.
46:47
A 30 yard punt by Heidler and a 13 yard return by Mosley.
46:53
The Hawaiians go to work first and 10 from their own 38 yard line.
46:58
They lead at 7-0 as we near the end of the first quarter.
47:01
22 seconds left.
47:03
Delaney and Eisenbarger split out to the right side.
47:07
Back to split behind Randy Johnson.
47:10
Clements and Al Davis.
47:11
Johnson with a play thing. Back to throw.
47:13
Looks right. Fires it wide open at Tim Delaney.
47:16
He dances out of bounds.
47:17
Delaney making the catch in front of Jim Bright looking for the UCLA.
47:29
The last time these clubs met, Delaney had nine receptions against Southern California.
47:35
He's off to a good start tonight.
47:37
The ball right at midfield, first and 10 for the Hawaiians.
47:42
This may be the final play of the quarter.
47:43
16 seconds left.
47:45
Good deal over the ball.
47:46
Johnson takes the snap to give the second man through.
47:48
Al Davis pops over left tackle and squirts up to the 40 yard line near a first down.
47:54
Good run by Davis and good blocking up front by Al Oliver and Jeff Seavey.
48:00
Three seconds left and that may be it.
48:03
They're going to bring out the Dickerod for a measurement as the clock stops with just two seconds remaining.
48:11
And let's see, I believe they are about half a yard or perhaps less than that.
48:17
They have the first down.
48:18
No, they have the first down.
48:20
First and 10 for the Hawaiians.
48:22
At the sun, 40.
48:23
As the clock rolls, that'll be it for this quarter.
48:26
There's the gun.
48:27
The first quarter with the score, the Hawaiians 7 and the Southern Californians 7 nothing.
48:33

49:15

Ala Moana, Kahala Mall, Lindwood City, Lahaina and Kona.
49:30
Can't we just go for a drink?
49:32
Yeah!
49:34
First and 10 for the Hawaiians at the Sun 40-yard line as we start the second quarter of play with the Hawaiians leading 7-0.
49:55
Eisenbacher's puts out to the right side.
49:57
As Randy Johnson digs in, the give is to Ernie O'Leary who's in the ball game now.
50:01
He's left up for O.J. in a good defensive play by Neal Speer and a Dave Roller.
50:07
O'Leary's playing with a bad ankle.
50:09
Earlier I talked with him about the condition of that ankle.
50:12
My ankle is pretty well healed, but I have a hand problem with my cousin.
50:18
It kind of bothers me when I go to my left.
50:22
Going to my right is fine, but after the game started, you start getting emotionally involved,
50:28
and the people start cheering you and you want to play more and more.
50:32
It just seems that the feeling just goes away.
50:36
Johnson fires over the middle and complete to John Kelsey, and he's brought down at the Sun's 28-yard line.
50:41
After picking up a first down, Derwood Keaton on the stop.
50:46
And you heard from Ernie O'Leary, he left the ball game following that play.
50:51
So perhaps that leg is bothering him just a bit.
50:54
Kelsey running a slap out over the middle makes the catch.
50:57
And it's first and 10 for the Hawaiians at the Sun's 28-yard line.
51:01
Hawaiians on top, 7-0, as we're two minutes into the second quarter.
51:06
Johnson steps up under center. Clements moves over a couple of steps behind him.
51:10
Randi with a short drop back, looking, steps, unloads it long for Delaney,
51:14
and Tim can't get to it down to the 9-yard line.
51:17
Delaney was open, running a little out-pattern, but the ball was long for him, thrown to the outside.
51:23
Rudy Redmond defending on the play.
51:28
There will be second down and 10 for the Hawaiians at the Sun's 28.
51:32
The winner of this game will play next Wednesday against the Birmingham Americans.
51:37
And in the other playoff game tonight, with ten minutes left in the contest,
51:40
the Florida Blazers lead Philadelphia 15-3.
51:43
The winner of that game will meet Memphis next Friday in Memphis.
51:48
Second and 10, Johnson to throw, back-pedaling, looking,
51:51
long for Eisenberg, he stretches out, can't make the catch down at the 2.
51:55
And again, the Hawaiians had a man open.
51:58
And Johnson slams his fist into his palm and disgust, as twice he has overshot the mark.
52:05
Randi now 4 out of 9 in the passing department.
52:11
Make that 5 out of 9.
52:13
Clayton Heath enters the lineup for the Hawaiians, replacing Ben Clements.
52:17
It will be third and 10 for the Hawaiians at the Sun's 28 yard line.
52:22
Irlini puts out to the right side, picked up by Jack Hunter, Eisenbarger to the left,
52:27
and he draws double coverage.
52:30
Johnson backing into the pocket, looks, fires long, Kelsey a great catch,
52:34
down to the 9 yard line.
52:37
The Sun defenders are saying that Kelsey didn't catch it.
52:41
Eisenbarger is saying yes he did, and the catch holds up a tremendous grab.
52:47
As he went high in the air, stretched out all 16-6 inches, and the Sun players are furious.
52:56
It looked like Kelsey didn't have the ball under control as he fell to the ground,
53:00
but he evidently brought it in.
53:03
And at first that goal to go for the Hawaiians at the Sun 9, a fantastic catch by Kelsey.
53:10
As he went up high over two defenders, the rookies from Missouri with a big grab,
53:16
his second key reception tonight.
53:20
An earlier reception gave the Hawaiians a first and goal to go situation.
53:23
Al Davis then took it over, and Kelsey sets the ball up inside the 10 again,
53:29
this time with the 9, first and goal.
53:31
Hawaiians leading 7-0.
53:33
And the fans are booing.
53:35
The give to Al Davis, a lot of left tackle.
53:37
He finds a little daylight and gets down to about the 6-yard line.
53:41
Davis, a third-year veteran from Tennessee State, brought down by middle linebacker Eric Patton
53:47
and defensive tackle Charles DeGeneres.
53:51
It'll be second and goal to go at the 6 as the play comes into the bench.
53:55
John Kelsey with three receptions tonight, good for 50 yards.
54:01
Kelsey has to be a strong candidate for all league honors to tight end.
54:05
He's had a tremendous season.
54:08
Delaney and Eisenbarger amidst booze put out to the left side.
54:12
Eisenbarger comes in motion.
54:14
Long count by Johnson, takes the pass off, back to Blitz, he fires it and it's batted down.
54:20
Pass was knocked down by Jim Baker, but Johnson was nearly knocked down by one of the linebackers
54:26
who was blitzing that time.
54:29
Pass was broken up by Baker, and Cleveland's band was blitzing.
54:34
Johnson had to unload the ball in a hurry.
54:38
As he sent everybody out on pass routes that time and nobody was left to block.
54:43
Johnson nearly had his head taken off.
54:46
Third down and goal at the 6.
54:49
Trady Richardson in the ball game, he's put out to the left side along with Delaney.
54:54
Tied in, Kelsey on the right side, as again you hear the booze.
54:58
Johnson plays big, back to throw.
55:00
Look, the pressure is on, fires for Davis, and the ball is guard loose in the green yard line.
55:05
It goes in complete.
55:07
So it's field goal time for the Hawaiians as R.A. Coppies comes on.
55:11
Coppies, a rookie from Texas Arlington.
55:16
He has six field goals this year, his longest 49 yards.
55:21
Randy Jarson has hit on six of 13 passes in this first half for 84 yards.
55:27
Weiss will spot the ball down at the 13 yard line.
55:31
This is a 23 yard field goal attempt.
55:35
A wide angle to the left, the snap, the slot, the kick is up, and it is good.
55:40
So a timeout on the field with the score, the Hawaiians 10 and the Sun nothing.
55:46
The time is ripe if you're the type and this ain't no hype.
55:49
The Bachelors 3 for you and me.
55:51

56:06

56:10
The Bachelors 3, the place to be on Kapi'olani across from the Toho Theater.
56:16
Wholesale Kelly Blue Book Prices.
56:18
That's right, at Dotson of Hawaii,
56:21
we're pricing a large number of our used cars at Wholesale Kelly Blue Book Prices.
56:25
It's the blue tag clearance sale.
56:27
Come in to any Dotson of Hawaii location and take your pick.
56:30
All the cars that have the giant blue tag are priced at the current Wholesale Kelly Blue Book Price.
56:35
It's for a limited time only so don't delay.
56:37
Our used car locations are at 650 Kapi'olani Boulevard in Kailua, Waipahu, and Wahiowa at the airport or in Lihue.
56:47
RA Kapi'olani is set to kick off after kicking a 23-yard field goal, a high short kick.
56:52
It bounces into 22.
56:53
Dotson is trying to track it down, picks it up, and he falls out of bounds.
56:57
A poor move by Dotson, and he's bruised by the fans.
57:02
The ball was bouncing around and looked like it was going to roll out of bounds on the far side of the field.
57:07
And if it had gone out, it would have been a five-yard penalty against the Hawaiians, an automatic penalty.
57:12
But Dotson tried to pick it up and then tried to do a little tightrope back on the far sideline but stumbled out of bounds.
57:19
And so Southern California will take over at their 11-yard line, the kind of mistake a rookie will make from time to time.
57:28
And you can be sure somebody's going to have a word or two to say to keep Dotson on the sideline.
57:34
First and 10 for the sun.
57:35
As Adams moves up under center, they give up the middle as to Greg Hurd, and he runs into a pile and is brought down at the 13.
57:41
Levi Stanley on the stop.
57:44
Burnham and Larch at the end.
57:46
East of Stanley to tackle.
57:47
Hester Backus and Snidecky, the linebackers.
57:50
Brown and Williams at the corners, and Andre and Dettweiler are to save people.
57:57
11-36 remaining in the first half.
58:00
The Hawaiians on top, 10 and nothing.
58:02
A three-yard touchdown run by Al Davis and a 23-yard field goal by R.A. Coppage.
58:08
Harris and Williams split to the left side.
58:10
Dave Parks at the tight end and split out about five yards to the right.
58:13
Adams turns, gives to Ralph Nelson, and he chops down as he crosses the 15.
58:18
Ron East bringing him down.
58:20
And so far the front four doing an outstanding job.
58:23
And earlier, Lev Burnham talked about how the front four will have to play tonight.
58:28
We've got to do what we did last time, Melvin.
58:31
We've got to do a better job because last time I don't think they were very keyed up.
58:34
This time I know they're going to be keyed up, and the Alphans have run a damn good one.
58:38
And we're just going to have to put more pressure on Adams,
58:42
and we're going to have to get eight or ten sacks in this game.
58:44
We only got six last time.
58:46
And they've already gotten to Mr. Adams at least once tonight that I can recall.
58:51
Third down, five for the Sun at their 16-yard line.
58:54
Hawaiians leading 10 to nothing.
58:55
Adams will grow. Back he goes.
58:57
Here comes the big rush. The fighter is on and they sack him.
58:59
Back in the two-yard line.
59:01
Carl Lurch getting in there.
59:05
And he's going to go with Ron East. Lev Burnham was there as well.
59:08
So perfect timing as you just heard Lev Burnham talking about the big pass rush.
59:13
They had to keep the pressure on Adams. They had to get to him.
59:16
And that they did as they dumped him back in the three-yard line.
59:19
It'll be fourth and 18, and Hale and the fighter comes in.
59:24
A ferocious pass rush that time by the front four.
59:28
Hale will be kicking from the back line of the end zone.
59:32
And he's mostly waiting for it at the Sun 40.
59:35
And a bad snap would probably drive Hale and right out of the end zone.
59:40
He waits for it. Good snap.
59:42
But he gets the ball away. A low line drive kick.
59:45
And it's taken by Willie Williams.
59:48
That's the 35 right to tackle. The 30. Up to the 25. The 20.
59:51
The 15. And down to the 10-yard line.
59:54
Willie Williams, who was about 10 yards in front of John Moseley on the return,
59:59
gets the ball in and brought it back to the nine-yard line.
1:00:02
A 33-yard return. Make that a 33-yard, positive 24-yard return.
1:00:08
And a timeout on the field with the score. The Hawaiians 10 and the Sun, nothing.
1:00:13
Come up to Fisher Hawaii next to Gibson. A poona poona by a street stall.
1:00:18
Getting ripped off on office furniture and supplies.
1:00:20
Waiting for mainland back orders. Well, my friend, Fisher Hawaii undersells their competitors by 20, 30, 40, sometimes 50 percent.
1:00:25
And they have $750,000 worth of merchandise in stock right now.
1:00:29
Hey, hey, that merchandise is moving as the prices are down.
1:00:32
We got the only office product supermarket in town.
1:00:35
Fisher Hawaii, for your office supplies. Right prices, right products, right now.
1:00:42
Here's your safe deposit box, sir. Thank you.
1:00:46
I haven't looked in here in years.
1:00:49
Every Bank of Hawaii Gold account includes a safe deposit box up to a value of $8 a year where available.
1:00:55
There's that policy. It's just one of a dozen services you get with a Bank of Hawaii Gold account.
1:01:00
Look at these pictures.
1:01:01
A safe deposit box is really a worthwhile thing to have for valuable papers and treasured personal belongings.
1:01:06
Give me skate key. Gold account. My classroom. It makes life a whole lot easier.
1:01:12
First and goal to go for the Hawaiians at the Sun nine yard line following a 24 yard punt return by Willie Williams.
1:01:19
Johnson will throw doubles as he backs up, but he's wobbling as he got the ball away.
1:01:23
A flag going down and Johnson really took a shot from Dave Roller.
1:01:28
And Randy is down on the turf. He looks to be OK.
1:01:33
And every time he goes down, I think the coaching staff shudders.
1:01:39
A holding penalty against the Hawaiians, but there was no keeping Roller out of there that time.
1:01:46
That's Corny Johnson.
1:01:50
The left, or make that Bob Richards the right tackle, tried to stop Roller, but he simply blew in there.
1:01:59
A 10 yard penalty against the Hawaiians back to the 19.
1:02:06
So it'll be first and goal to go.
1:02:10
19 yard line. Hawaiians leading 10 to nothing.
1:02:15
See what Johnson will do this time. He starts to wade into the right side.
1:02:18
Brady Richardson split left.
1:02:21
Plymouth and Davis to running backs behind Randy Johnson.
1:02:25
Johnson gives to Al Davis, following the block of Plymouth, and he's dropped a fine defensive play into the 18 yard line by John Hoffman, the right defensive end.
1:02:34
Hoffman is playing himself quite a ball game tonight.
1:02:39
Dave Roller was helping out as well.
1:02:44
So it'll be second down and goal to go at the 18.
1:02:51
As Johnson brings the team up, 10 to nothing.
1:02:55
The Hawaiians on top. 923 remaining in the first half, ready to throw.
1:02:59
Lock one for the right corner of the end zone and the flag is thrown. As Delaney and Jack Connors, the defenders, we're pushing each other down at about the 5 yard line.
1:03:09
So we're going to have an interference call. And judging from Delaney's reaction, it'll be defensive pass interference.
1:03:15
That's the call. Jack Connors is called for pushing Delaney.
1:03:21
That will give them an automatic first down. So it'll be first and goal to go again, but this time inside the 10.
1:03:29
Now Delaney's a tough customer to handle, the leading pass catcher in the league.
1:03:33
Delaney's working against the rookie Jack Connors.
1:03:38
He's caught the ball inside the fly.
1:03:42
And it'll be first and goal to go. The Hawaiians have clearly dominated this first half.
1:03:48
Brady Richardson goes to the right side. Now a mix up, and Johnson wants a time out.
1:03:52
So a time out on the field with the score. The Hawaiians, 10 and the sun, nothing.
1:03:57
Time supermarkets are all set for your Thanksgiving shopping.
1:04:01

1:04:43
Do you have anything in black?
1:04:45
No, but I can custom make you one with scotch pinless pattern holder.
1:04:48
You sketch out a pattern and we spray them with scotch pinless pattern holder.
1:04:52
Stick them on fabric and cut them out. No need pins.
1:04:55
That looks great.
1:04:56
Nice sequence.
1:04:57
Super gay GMP!
1:05:01
First and goal to go for the Hawaiians at the sun five yard line.
1:05:06
Following a pass interference call against Jack Connors to the sun, Hawaiians leading 10 to nothing.
1:05:12
917 remaining in the first half.
1:05:14
Eisenbarger splits to the right. They keep Delaney in tight on the left side.
1:05:18
Clements and Davis running back. As Eisenbarger goes in motion, Johnson with a play fake.
1:05:23
Straight back to throw. The rush is on. Fires and wide open in the end zone. It's tight end John Kelsey.
1:05:28
Touchdown Hawaiians. Kelsey was wide open.
1:05:35
And I can't get over this Southern California team. They look lifeless here in the first half.
1:05:40
They're doing very few signs of life.
1:05:42
The Hawaiians are just doing everything right Southern California. Not doing much right at all.
1:05:48
It is 17 to nothing as they line up for the action point.
1:05:52
Weiss comes in at quarterback. He sends Eisenbarger to the right.
1:05:58
Norris waiting for the snap. He normally takes lots of time.
1:06:02
And he does. Takes the snap. Rolls to his right. Looking to throw.
1:06:06
Fires and his arm is hit from behind and the pass goes incomplete.
1:06:10
So it's 17 to nothing. The Hawaiians on top.
1:06:16
And a timeout on the field with the score. The Hawaiians 17 and the Sun nothing.
1:06:21

1:07:24
And he sends it back deep waiting for RA Coppich kickoff.
1:07:27
17 to nothing. The Hawaiians on top.
1:07:29
Kaki sends a low line drive that is taken by one of the up man Buckman at the 20 yard line.
1:07:34
The ball bounces, he picks it up. He's up to 25, spun around and dropped into 31 yard line.
1:07:39
Let's pause now for station identification. This is the Coconut Wireless Sports Network.
1:07:45
KGMB Sports.
1:07:47
Joe Moore reminding you the University of Hawaii tackles Fresno State Saturday night at 7.05 on KGMB Home
1:07:54
and Dave Ulrich off on the plate. Clayton Heath who was part of the outstanding special teams player by the
1:07:59
Hawaiians players was in there on the tackle along with Dave Ulrich.
1:08:02
They lead first and 10 for the Sun from their 32 yard line. They trail 17 to nothing.
1:08:07
With nine minutes remaining in the first half. And it's been all Hawaiians so far.
1:08:12
Terry Lizzie's flip to the right, Icarus to the left. The back's in the eye.
1:08:16
Adams to throw, rolling to his right. Tries to set up, gonna have to throw on the run.
1:08:20
Fires and it's complete. Making the catch is Dave Harkes to side end.
1:08:26
Make that Dave for you. And he gets down here midfield.
1:08:30
17 yard pick up on the play and they'll spot the ball just inside the 50 on the Southern California side.
1:08:37
Middle linebacker Jim Snydecky on the stop. Icarus leads the ball game for the Sun.
1:08:45
And let's see who's in there in place of him. Lizzie is one of the wide receivers.
1:08:52
Harkes is in there. And Keith Denson is in the ball game as the wide receiver.
1:09:02
Adams on the give up the middle of the herd. He pops through a hole and gets down to the Hawaiian 45
1:09:07
where Levi Stanley brings him down.
1:09:11
An important point to consider, Southern California is playing without their top two rushers.
1:09:17
New find rookie James McAllister who is not in uniform tonight. He's got all kinds of problems.
1:09:23
A bad knee, a bad ankle. And Herman Johnson who has a pinched nerve in his shoulder, neck area.
1:09:31
Neither one of them are playing tonight, although Johnson is in uniform.
1:09:35
Second and five for the Sun at the Hawaiian 45 yard line trailing 17 to nothing.
1:09:40
Adams stays on the ground to give us the herd and he squirms up the middle down to about the 42
1:09:45
where he runs into Ron East.
1:09:47
East is a playoff veteran and he talked about how it feels entering tonight's quick ball game.
1:09:54
Tonight's game is as important as anything he ever played in.
1:09:58
Mel and I have played in nine championship games before this.
1:10:02
One was the 1970 Super Bowl along with two other NFL championship games.
1:10:08
And we have to prepare a little bit better than we have for most games this season
1:10:14
when you start off in the championship games like we are tonight.
1:10:18
Veteran Ron East. Adams on the give to Ralph Nelson, off right tackle.
1:10:22
He had some running room but he lost his footing and fell down at the 36 yard line.
1:10:26
But he managed to pick up a first down.
1:10:28
Jim Snydecky, the middle linebacker on the stop.
1:10:31
So Tom Fears is shuttling running backs in and out of there.
1:10:35
Dave Williams now comes in and wide receiver as does Icarus.
1:10:39
Terry Lindsay and Keith Denson go out.
1:10:42
First and ten for the Sun.
1:10:44
That's the Hawaiians 38, 17 to nothing.
1:10:47
The Hawaiians on top, 629 remaining in the half.
1:10:51
Williams put to the right side.
1:10:53
Icarus to the left, the backs in the eye, Herd and Nelson.
1:10:57
Adams to play fake, doubles, fires off the fingertips of Dave Williams and completes.
1:11:02
The 25 yard line. Defending on the play was Chuck Detweiler.
1:11:07
Six year veteran from Utah State.
1:11:10
One of many newcomers to join the Hawaiians team at about midseason
1:11:14
and really has made a big difference in this club.
1:11:17
Detweiler was named hitter of the year by his teammates.
1:11:20
He loves to hit.
1:11:23
Quite a headhunter.
1:11:26
Not particularly big at 60 tall and 195 but he really knows how to pop.
1:11:31
Second down, ten for the Sun.
1:11:34
That's the Hawaiians 38, man wide to each side, the backs are split.
1:11:38
Adams on the draw to give it to Herd and he runs right into one of his blockers.
1:11:42
And he brought down at the 31st.
1:11:45
Easton Stanley actually made the tackle but Herd ran into one of his blockers, Mike Ryan I believe, a guard.
1:11:54
Ryan had turned to make the running back coming through the huddle which is kind of an odd, or coming through the line I should say.
1:12:01
Kind of an odd maneuver and he ran right into his arm.
1:12:04
Herd down six for the Sun.
1:12:07
The ball just inside the Hawaiians 35 yard line.
1:12:10
Block ticking away with 544 remaining in the first half.
1:12:14
Dave Williams flanks to the right side, picked up by Otto Braun.
1:12:18
Keith Nenson back in the ball game, is split left, picked up by Willie Williams.
1:12:21
Adams back into the pocket, looks, fires and is caught by Nenson.
1:12:25
He took up a road to his end, Willie Williams.
1:12:28
And it's brought down after picking up a first down.
1:12:31
I don't know how he managed to hang on to the football but he did.
1:12:34
A fire reception by Nenson.
1:12:36
Running a flat pattern over the middle, a 12 yard pick up.
1:12:41
Herd and Willie Williams, a ten year veteran from Grambling.
1:12:44
And on the drop, former two time All-Pro with the New York Giants.
1:12:48
The ball down at the Hawaiians 23 yard line in first and 10 for the Sun.
1:12:55
Greg Herd leads the ball game and plays Jeffries, comes in and running back.
1:13:01
So it's Jeffries and Nenson, the two running backs.
1:13:04
Neither played college football.
1:13:06
Jeffries played at Cerritos Junior College but that was it.
1:13:09
And to give is to Jeffries, busting up the middle and gets down to the 20.
1:13:12
Where Ron East brings him down.
1:13:15
Hawaiians front four has really come along this year.
1:13:18
They've made great strides.
1:13:20
And when you look down the roster, that's about the only part of the team
1:13:25
that has remained virtually unchanged since training camp.
1:13:28
They've gone with Berner, the East, Stanley and Lortz, and Greg Wojcicki in reserve
1:13:33
for the whole season.
1:13:35
And they've really developed into a fine unit.
1:13:37
Pick up of three yards at second and seven for the Sun at the Hawaiians 20.
1:13:41
Southern California down by 17 big ones here in the first half with four minutes remaining.
1:13:46
Nenson goes in motion.
1:13:47
Adams will throw, drops into the pocket, looks left, unloads the bomb.
1:13:51
Williams goes up and a good defensive play in the left corner again thrown by Willie Williams.
1:13:56
He tipped the ball away.
1:13:59
Had Williams made the reception, I think he would have been out of bounds.
1:14:04
Good defensive play by the old boy Willie Williams.
1:14:08
So it'll be third and seven.
1:14:11
See if the Hawaiians can hold here.
1:14:13
Greg Wojcicki checks in on the front four.
1:14:16
Six, seven, 270 in his fourth year for the USC.
1:14:20
Played with the Chargers and Rams.
1:14:24
Williams to the right.
1:14:27
And the back shift out of the eye.
1:14:29
Big down for Southern California if they hope to get back in the game.
1:14:31
Adams back pedaling, fires these hits, and he gets his pass away,
1:14:35
but Harris can't catch it at the 16.
1:14:38
The ball was thrown low down around Harris' shoe top,
1:14:42
and the big guy tried to reach over and get it, but the ball hit the ground.
1:14:46
And East hit Adams just as he unloaded the football.
1:14:52
So it's been a tough night for Tony Adams.
1:14:55
And Rod Garcia, the field goal kicker, comes in.
1:14:58
He missed one earlier tonight.
1:15:01
The second attempt will be from the 27th, so it's a 37-yard field goal.
1:15:05
And the ball just about straight on.
1:15:08
Adams to hold. Garcia to try.
1:15:12
The snap, the spot, the kick is up, has the distance, and it is good.
1:15:17
Garcia's field goal is good.
1:15:20
So a time out on the field with the score, the Hawaiians 17 and the Sun, three.
1:15:25
Will you try our primo? Why, you won't believe the taste.
1:15:28
It's a taste that'll make the Hawaiian proud.
1:15:32
In the old tradition of great beer making, we take our place.
1:15:35
And it's time for us to really shout out loud.
1:15:39
Primo's coming on. Primo's here.
1:15:43
Brother, you are tasting it till you're tasting primo beer.
1:15:47
Taste what's happening. Primo beer.
1:15:50
Brother, you are tasting it till you're tasting primo beer.
1:15:54
There's something good going on at the primo brewery, and it's called primo beer,
1:15:58
the best tasting, best quality beer ever brewed, and completely brewed right here in the islands.
1:16:03
But we can only tell you what's happened to primo.
1:16:05
You've really got to taste what's happened. Primo's coming on.
1:16:09
Primo's coming on. Primo's here.
1:16:12
Brother, you are tasting it till you're tasting primo beer.
1:16:16
Taste what's happening. Primo beer.
1:16:19
Brother, you are tasting it till you're tasting primo beer.
1:16:24
Rod Garcia sends a line drive kickoff.
1:16:27
It'll be taken by one of the Hawaiian's up end, Clayton Heath.
1:16:30
He's across the 35. Up to the 40, the 45.
1:16:33
Up to the 50 breaks another tackle, and he's brought down a seed.
1:16:36
It's not 48-yard line.
1:16:39
I don't know if that was a bad kick by Garcia, or whether he wanted to try to kick the ball
1:16:43
over the short man to avoid a long run back.
1:16:46
But at any rate, Clayton Heath brought the ball back 27 yards.
1:16:50
He was not one of the two deep ends.
1:16:54
So once again, the Hawaiian's with good field position. It's a sun 48.
1:16:58
The Hawaiian's are top 17 to 3.
1:17:01
A 37-yard field goal by Rod Garcia. The only score so far by the sun.
1:17:09
Delaney and Eisenbacher split to the right side.
1:17:12
Johnson gives to Al Davis up the middle.
1:17:14
He finds some running room and fights his way up to the 40.
1:17:17
Pickup for about seven yards.
1:17:20
Leading the way for him, center Jim Cadell and the two guards, John Wohlberg and Jeff Zebe.
1:17:26
Baker on the stop along with Jim Price.
1:17:29
Gain of seven. It'll be second and three for the Hawaiian.
1:17:33
And the sun 40.
1:17:38
Johnson. Saunders up to the line of scrimmage.
1:17:41
Long, tall Texans. Right at Texas A&I.
1:17:46
Waiting for the snap. The give is to Clements and he finds the running difficult.
1:17:50
He cracks into the line.
1:17:52
Gets a couple of yards up to about the 36.
1:17:56
Where Charles C. Jenais, a 270-pound rookie from San Jose State, brings him down.
1:18:02
Officials time out as they bring out the dickarive for a measurement.
1:18:06
17 to 3 to the Hawaiian's on top with 2.55.
1:18:10
Remaining here in the first half.
1:18:13
They stretch it out.
1:18:15
The Hawaiians have dominated this half although Southern California is showing signs of coming to life.
1:18:21
Johnson holding up his hands to show how much yards they need and really only about five or six inches.
1:18:29
So call it third and one.
1:18:32
For the Hawaiians, they try to keep his drive alive with the sun 37.
1:18:36
Eisenbarger splits to the right side. They'll put a new football in play.
1:18:42
Johnson moves up under center.
1:18:45
Takes the snap to give up the middle to Clements who dives forward and I'm not sure if he got it.
1:18:50
He needed very little as he plowed into the pack.
1:18:54
At the line of scrimmage, we'll have to wait and see as they unpile.
1:18:57
They may bring out the dickaron once again.
1:18:59
That's what they're going to do.
1:19:02
The latest report on that Florida-Philadelphia game, Florida was leading 18 to 3 with two minutes left in the contest.
1:19:09
So it looks like the Blazers will be moving into the semifinal playoff round against Memphis next week.
1:19:15
Hawaiians have the first down.
1:19:22
So it's first and 10 for the Hawaiians with the sun 37.
1:19:25
As we near the two-minute mark, they'll take a timeout for the two-minute warning.
1:19:31
Eisenbarger flanks to the right side. They keep Delaney in tight on the left side.
1:19:35
The back splits behind Randy Johnson.
1:19:39
Eisenbarger starts in motion, does a little stutter step.
1:19:42
Johnson takes the snap to give it to Al Davis following John Wilber.
1:19:45
Gets to the corner and he's brought down at the 35-yard line.
1:19:50
Eric Patton, the middle linebacker, on the stop.
1:19:53
And that will probably be the last play before the two-minute warning.
1:19:58
A timeout on the field with the score, the Hawaiians 17 and the sun 3.
1:20:03
The world of numbers confusing you?

1:20:53
The Thanksgiving drawing now at Curry Boys.
1:20:55
Kaneohe and Waikiki in the Outrigger Reef in Coral Seas Hotels.
1:21:04
Second down and eight for the Hawaiians.
1:21:07
At the sun 35 yard line, time was taken for the two minute warning here in the first half.
1:21:12
The Hawaiians leading 17 to 3, and they have clearly dominated this first half of play.
1:21:17
The home folks here in Anaheim have not had much to cheer about.
1:21:21
This club has had problems lately.
1:21:23
You probably read about them.
1:21:25
The players haven't been paid for a week or so, but they're better off than some of the teams in the league.
1:21:30
But the players held a meeting yesterday, the Southern California players, voted to support the management and coaches, and come out and give their best tonight.
1:21:38
But they have been slow to get started.
1:21:41
Second and eight.
1:21:43
As Johnson moves up to the line of scrimmage.
1:21:46
Brandy steps in, takes the snap, plays it, back up, oh here comes the blitz.
1:21:50
In trouble, he's bounced around, and he's going to be sacked way back at the 46 yard line.
1:21:57
Gene Howard on a safety blitz, led the charge.
1:22:01
And it looks like an army roaring in there.
1:22:03
Johnson looks like a pinball bouncing around.
1:22:06
He was hit three or four times before he finally went down.
1:22:10
An 11 yard loss on this play.
1:22:13
It'll be third down 19 for the Hawaiians.
1:22:17
At the Sun 45 yard line.
1:22:21
Brady Richardson comes in and wide receiver replacing Eisenbarger.
1:22:25
Johnson simply did not have time to set up that time.
1:22:28
Richardson splits to the right.
1:22:31
And Delaney goes wide to the left.
1:22:34
Johnson on the ground, gives up the middle of Clayton.
1:22:37
He's across the 40, 35, and down to the 32 yard line.
1:22:41
He's not a quick opener up the middle.
1:22:44
But he is short of the first down.
1:22:47
Good run by Clayton, the 14 yards.
1:22:50
But it'll be fourth and five.
1:22:58
Let's see what the Hawaiians will do as they have the ball at the 31 yard line of Southern California.
1:23:05
At Backus the putter is in.
1:23:10
That would have been a field goal attempt of better than 50 yards.
1:23:13
So they're not going to risk it. Backus will be punting.
1:23:16
He'll be standing at the Sun 48.
1:23:19
Gary takes the snap and a high rainmaker straight up in the air.
1:23:24
And it is taken by Denson and the flag goes down as he rustles down the 10 yard line.
1:23:30
And I think that will be a penalty against the Hawaiians for interference.
1:23:34
17 yard punt by Backus straight up in the air.
1:23:37
It went as high as it did far.
1:23:40
That's a call interference against the Hawaiians.
1:23:44
As they did not give Keith Denson enough room.
1:23:48
Second interference call on a punt against the Hawaiians.
1:23:52
A 15 yarder will be stepped off to the Sun 29.
1:23:56
41 seconds remaining in the first half.
1:23:59
Hawaiians leading 17 to 3.
1:24:04
Getting back to Southern California's attitude coming into this game.
1:24:07
Dave Williams, their player representative, said that the team had their best practice in three weeks yesterday
1:24:13
in getting ready for this game.
1:24:14
So the spirit is running high after some problems the last couple of weeks.
1:24:18
Adams gives up the middle of Greg Third. He punches across the 30.
1:24:22
Some of the fans threw as it looked like Southern California is just going to run out the clock.
1:24:27
Ron East on the stop defensively.
1:24:32
Southern California now takes its time out with 36 seconds remaining.
1:24:39
17 to 3 the Hawaiians on top.
1:24:42
There have been a lot of boos here in Anaheim Stadium tonight.
1:24:46
It certainly does not look like the Southern California team I've seen on two previous occasions.
1:24:53
Still they're a big play team that can beat you if they get one or two opportunities.
1:24:59
They're only 14 points back now as we near the end of the first half.
1:25:04
We have not seen Kermit Johnson, the fine running back for the Sun,
1:25:08
who rushed for over a thousand yards during the regular season.
1:25:12
He's out of action with a pitch nerve. James McAllister, their other top running back, is also out
1:25:17
with a sorted knee and ankle problem.
1:25:20
Maybe Tom Fierce wasn't exaggerating when he said this club is in the worst physical condition of the year.
1:25:26
I think a lot of people said, oh sure Tom.
1:25:29
Thought that he was putting them on, trying to pull a con job.
1:25:32
And maybe trying to get the Hawaiians to let their guard down a bit.
1:25:36
Second down, seven for the Sun at their 32 yard line.
1:25:40
36 seconds left in the half.
1:25:42
And everybody out wide. Johnson, short drop back, fires complete to Nelson at the 45.
1:25:47
Gets up near midfield.
1:25:50
Nelson nearly broke away.
1:25:53
As he came out of the backfield to make the catch good for 18 yards.
1:25:57
It'll be first and 10 for Southern California.
1:25:59
And once again they take a timeout.
1:26:01
Tony Adams goes over to the sideline to talk to his coach, Tom Fierce.
1:26:07
Here are a couple of movie stars at the ballpark tonight.
1:26:11
I'm using that term loosely.
1:26:13
Ernie Wheelwright, one of the assistant coaches for the Sun,
1:26:17
appears in the movie The Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds.
1:26:21
And for the Hawaiians, John Eisenbarger appears in a movie called Black Six.
1:26:26
That starred a number of pro football players, Lem Barney, Carl Eller, named just a couple.
1:26:32
And Eisenbarger played a character by the name of Moose King,
1:26:35
a leader of a white rival motorcycle gang.
1:26:40
I don't know about Eisenbarger, but I know Ernie Wheelwright is hoping to pursue an acting career.
1:26:47
He's been in several movies.
1:26:49
Greg Wojcik comes in on defense for the Hawaiians, replacing Levi Stanley.
1:26:53
That defensive tackle, 30 seconds left in the half.
1:26:56
It's 17-3 in favor of the Hawaiians.
1:27:00
The winner of this ballgame will meet Birmingham next week.
1:27:04
Terry Lindsay splits to the right side as does Ike Harris.
1:27:07
He sets it to the left side, and Ralph Nelson is a flatback on the left side, so they have one setback.
1:27:13
Adams, backpedaling, looking, fires to the short man, Jeffery,
1:27:16
with the 45 running laterally, still on his feet, and he chops out at the Hawaiians 47.
1:27:24
The 50-cups break out down on the field.
1:27:27
Adrian Young is going at it, along with somebody from Southern California, Paul Seiler, an offensive tackle.
1:27:36
And again, Southern California takes the time out.
1:27:40
We'll stay right here with just 22 seconds left.
1:27:46
Proceeds from the playoffs will be put in the pool,
1:27:49
and 70% of those proceeds will be turned over to the players on a 60-to-41 loss basis.
1:27:55
In other words, the winners will get 60%, the losers 40%.
1:27:59
They're talking to the players.
1:28:01
They really feel that they're not going to be playing in the playoffs for a lot of money,
1:28:05
because there's so many expenses involved now in keeping the league afloat.
1:28:10
And it's amazing when you talk to guys like Corny Johnson, John Wilber,
1:28:15
and others who played in big ball games, in NFL playoff games, in some cases in Super Bowls,
1:28:21
they'll tell you that they're just as high for this ball game tonight as they were for any Super Bowl.
1:28:27
A lot of pride involved in this game.
1:28:32
Second out and five for the Sun at the Hawaiian 46.
1:28:35
His time is running out here in the first half.
1:28:37
22 seconds left.
1:28:40
Adams, the rookie, takes the snap, drops straight back, sets up, plant, fires long.
1:28:45
He's got a man open.
1:28:46
And a collision at the 25-yard line.
1:28:52
The intended receiver was Ike Harris, who's still flat on his back.
1:28:56
And he collided with Chuck Detweiler.
1:29:00
I told you the Hawaiians had named Detweiler the hitter of the year.
1:29:03
That was the perfect instant.
1:29:05
Harris is still down.
1:29:07
It looked like two airplanes colliding in midair.
1:29:10
Harris flat on his back down at the 22-yard line.
1:29:15
Ike is the bigger of the two at 6'5.
1:29:17
Detweiler only 6 feet tall.
1:29:20
And Names really hit.
1:29:22
16 seconds left in the first half.
1:29:27
17 to 3, the Hawaiians on top.
1:29:29
Getting back to the players taking part in the playoffs with not much money at stake, merely pride.
1:29:36
Randy Johnson was telling me a cute story.
1:29:38
He said that he was talking to his little daughter on the telephone.
1:29:42
I believe she lived down in Florida.
1:29:44
She said, Daddy, are you going to be making lots of money in the playoffs?
1:29:47
And he said, No, dear, I'm afraid not.
1:29:51
And she said, Well, will you come home if I crack open my piggy bank?
1:29:56
But Randy will be here for a while at least.
1:29:59
Ike Harris is still down as they bring him to his feet.
1:30:05
And if he's hurt seriously, that will be a tough blow to the son.
1:30:10
They have a number of receivers already banged up.
1:30:12
Dave Williams is playing with a badly sprained ankle.
1:30:15
Dave Parks has a bad back.
1:30:17
Harris is being helped off the field.
1:30:20
The big rookie from Iowa State who is in all big eight selections, three years in a row.
1:30:25
Third down five for the Sun at the Hawaiian 46, 16 seconds left in the half.
1:30:35
Dave Williams twists to the right.
1:30:38
Keith Denson to the left.
1:30:40
Nelson is in the slot left.
1:30:41
Adams will throw.
1:30:42
Back he goes.
1:30:43
Steps up in the pocket looking to throw.
1:30:44
Unloads a ball.
1:30:45
Denson is open.
1:30:46
He's got a hard touchdown.
1:30:48
With nine seconds left in the half.
1:30:51
A foul from Tony Adams.
1:30:53
The key tester.
1:30:55
He fights the ball in the end zone.
1:30:58
Now the Sun now creeping closer.
1:31:01
It's 17 to 10.
1:31:05
I mentioned this team is a closer.
1:31:07
They can beat you with a big play.
1:31:10
Adams to Denson.
1:31:13
A 46-yard touchdown pass.
1:31:17
And it's 17 to 10.
1:31:20
That brings the Sun fans to their feet.
1:31:24
They had very little to cheer about here in the first half.
1:31:26
And quickly things have changed.
1:31:28
It was 17 to nothing.
1:31:30
Now it's 17 to 10.
1:31:34
Southern California will go for the action point for the two and a half yard line.
1:31:39
It's then Dave Williams wide right.
1:31:44
Bradley is in at tight end.
1:31:47
Jefferies and Nelson the running back behind Adams.
1:31:49
Adams will throw a rolling to his right.
1:31:51
Fires a shot by Jefferies to the action point.
1:31:54
Jefferies swinging out of the backfield.
1:31:57
Adams rolling to his right.
1:31:59
Found him in the right corner of the end zone.
1:32:01
So it's 17 to 11.
1:32:03
The Hawaiians on top with nine seconds remaining in the first half.
1:32:07
After being dormant for most of two quarters, Southern California has come alive here in the closing second.
1:32:15
Six-point ball game.
1:32:18
Just as it looks the Hawaiians can blow the Sun right off the field.
1:32:23
Rod Garcia teeing up the football with the Sun 30.
1:32:27
You can hear some whistling and shouting around the ballpark.
1:32:31
Dropping back deep for the Hawaiians.
1:32:34
Burning O'Leary and Brady.
1:32:36
O'Leary on the near side.
1:32:37
Richardson on the far side.
1:32:43
And Garcia will kick off.
1:32:46
That's the kind of kick he chooses to use this time.
1:32:49
He tried his swift kick the last time.
1:32:52
A high short kick.
1:32:54
Brady Richardson will take it at the 18.
1:32:56
Up to the 20.
1:32:57
The 25.
1:32:58
He gets it to 30.
1:32:59
Spins away.
1:33:00
Still on his feet.
1:33:01
And he's ruffled out of bounds with a 32-yard line.
1:33:05
That may be the final play.
1:33:07
Clock showing one second left.
1:33:09
14-yard return by Richardson.
1:33:13
One second left in the first half.
1:33:17
So let's see what the Hawaiians will do if they have the ball at the Sun 32.
1:33:22
See if Johnson simply falls to the ground or if he'll try to get off the play.
1:33:27
I would guess, it's only a guess, and I've been known to be wrong, and my guess is that he simply left the clock run out.
1:33:35
With only one second left.
1:33:37
Rather than risk throwing an interception and having a run back.
1:33:41
Let's see if my strategy and Randy's agrees to give it to Clements up the middle.
1:33:46
Squirts through a hole and gets down to the 42 and that'll be it.
1:33:49
As they run out the clock.
1:33:51
So there's the gun down at the end of the first half with the score.
1:33:55
The Hawaiians 17 and the Southern California Sun 11.
1:34:01
17-11.
1:34:02
The Hawaiians leading as we start the second half.
1:34:05
And they're leading 17-0.
1:34:08
They saw Southern California toward 11 points in the second quarter.
1:34:16
Garcia, soccer-style kicker.
1:34:19
And he's ready.
1:34:20
He moves up to the football.
1:34:22
A high end-over-end kick.
1:34:24
Richardson takes it at the 11-yard line.
1:34:26
It's 15, 20, 25.
1:34:29
Looking for blocking.
1:34:30
Spun around and dropped at the 30-yard line.
1:34:33
And the return was on the right that time.
1:34:36
Richardson brought down at the 30-yard return.
1:34:40
So he first to 10 for the Hawaiians.
1:34:45
Johnson is not all the way quarterback.
1:34:49
Norris Weiss is the only other quarterback in uniform tonight.
1:34:52
And Hargan did not suit up.
1:34:54
Eisenbarger and Johnson, or Eisenbarger and Delaney put to the right side.
1:35:00
Clements and Davis start the second half and running back.
1:35:03
Kelsey is the tight end on the left side.
1:35:05
Johnson to throw.
1:35:06
Fire on Delaney.
1:35:07
Kim gets a block.
1:35:08
Turns up field and he's brought down to 35-yard line.
1:35:11
A little green pass to the blocker out to the right side.
1:35:15
He's got a bunch of blockers in front of him and picked up 5 yards.
1:35:19
Jim Brighton on the side.
1:35:21
Across that offensive line, Jordan Thompson and Bob Richards.
1:35:25
John Wilbur and Jeff Seedy, the guards, and Jim Cadeo is the center.
1:35:30
This is probably Cadeo's last year as a pro football player.
1:35:34
He retired once before and then came out of retirement to join the Hawaiians.
1:35:39
He suffered a number of injuries this year, but it played very well.
1:35:42
Second and sixth, Clements up the middle.
1:35:44
And then he is chopped down and gets to the 37.
1:35:48
A hard hitting by the Sun defense in the second half.
1:35:51
Little linebacker Eric Patton on the stop.
1:35:53
Looking forward, Starr at Notre Dame.
1:35:56
Eisenbarger comes in.
1:35:57
Richardson goes out at wide receiver.
1:36:01
He's had a lot of trouble and suffered a concussion this year.
1:36:05
Badly bruised the killing tendons.
1:36:07
He's been pretty well banged up.
1:36:09
He was a guard for most of his career until they moved the center.
1:36:12
Johnson with a quick drop back.
1:36:14
Fires and it's in to play.
1:36:15
Defended for Eisenbarger.
1:36:17
Running an out-counter on the left side.
1:36:19
Veteran Rudy Rettman is here.
1:36:21
He's very specific defending.
1:36:24
There will be four to three in the running as it comes on for the Hawaiians.
1:36:28
Backus, the putter.
1:36:31
Those Southern California holes on defense on the first series.
1:36:36
And it looks like that big touchdown perhaps really inspires him.
1:36:40
He looks like a different ball club right now.
1:36:44
Keith Denson in single safety at the Sun 22.
1:36:48
And two men in front of him.
1:36:50
Backus will be kicking from his 22-yard line.
1:36:54
The snap, very little pressure, and Backus gets it away.
1:36:57
A short kick, a wobbly spiral that hits at the 35.
1:37:00
Denson picks it up.
1:37:01
He dances up to the 30 and he's knocked down at the 32.
1:37:05
Gary Backus.
1:37:06
Gary Backus, the putter, the man who made the first quarter.
1:37:10
A 34-yard punt.
1:37:13
And the ball at the 31-yard line, I think at the 32 of Southern California.
1:37:19
They trail 17 to 11.
1:37:23
Dave Salverson was also down there on the tackle.
1:37:31
Adams brings his team up to the line of scrimmage.
1:37:34
Ralph Nelson and Greg Hurd are the running backs.
1:37:37
Ike Harris is evidently okay.
1:37:39
He was banged up earlier.
1:37:40
He's down wide to the left.
1:37:41
The gift to Nelson.
1:37:42
And he runs up the back of one of his blockers as he crosses the 35.
1:37:46
Levi Stanley on the stop.
1:37:50
Nelson tripped over the feet of Joe Corolo but still managed to pick up four yards to the 36-yard line.
1:37:57
Second down and six.
1:38:01
Opening moments of the second half of play.
1:38:03
The Hawaiians leading 17 to 11.
1:38:06
Southern California, the Western Division winner and the Hawaiians finishing a distant second of the standing.
1:38:13
Lindsey and Harris split to the right side this time.
1:38:16
Adams with the gift to Greg Hurd.
1:38:18
And Ron East, right off the bar to the ankle and dragged him down.
1:38:22
East hung on to the right of about two yards.
1:38:26
Pick up a three by Hurd, a 240-pound rookie.
1:38:32
And still Southern California has not used Kermit Johnson, their leading rusher.
1:38:35
He was expected to play tonight.
1:38:38
In fact, they tell me he's not even in uniform.
1:38:42
They said earlier in the day he hoped to be playing.
1:38:45
The Sun playing without their top two rushers, the Blair pair, Johnson and McAllister.
1:38:51
Now a mix-up of some kind, Adams turns to say something to the official.
1:38:55
I think he wants a new football.
1:38:57
They're going to put one in play.
1:38:59
The reason they call McAllister and Johnson the Blair pair is because they played at Blair High School together.
1:39:05
In fact, they've played football together since the fourth grade.
1:39:08
And they're both on the sidelines together tonight.
1:39:11
Third and three for the Sun.
1:39:13
Up the middle, Ralph Nelson, a big four and he rips up to the 47-yard line.
1:39:20
Nelson on the carry brought down by Gary Backes.
1:39:24
Pick up a ten yards on the play.
1:39:27
Nelson with good acceleration and no college experience.
1:39:32
Attended Centennial High School in Los Angeles and he was signed following a tryout camp.
1:39:37
He's just 20 years of age.
1:39:39
The Hawaiians made an attempt to acquire Nelson in a trade earlier this year, but Southern California said no go.
1:39:45
First and ten for the Sun.
1:39:48
Adams, play fake, back to throw, pumps, looks, unloads it long, he hangs it up for Harris and it's incomplete.
1:39:54
Down at the 15-yard line.
1:39:57
Harris was well covered.
1:39:59
Andre and Deadweiler both back there.
1:40:03
Looking incomplete fast.
1:40:06
Adams, the leading passer in the league.
1:40:09
He's got the highest of passing records in Utah State.
1:40:14
Once completed 31 passes in a single game.
1:40:18
And in his senior year in Utah State, he was ranked third in the nation in passing, a second total offense.
1:40:26
Gary Lipsey flanks out to the right side.
1:40:34
And to the left side is Keith Denson.
1:40:36
Adams back into the pocket, looks, fires, and he's off the hands of Greg Hurd.
1:40:40
It's the over.
1:40:41
Ray Hester covering.
1:40:44
Interesting story today.
1:40:46
You've heard the Southern California team has problems.
1:40:49
Try this one on for size.
1:40:50
We're talking about Johnson and McAllister not playing.
1:40:54
The Sun officials have no idea where Johnson, McAllister, or the fine offensive lineman Booker Brown are.
1:41:01
Brown was not injured.
1:41:03
So, it's a funny business at hand of some sort.
1:41:08
Booker Brown, James McAllister, and Kermit Johnson nowhere to be found tonight.
1:41:13
Third and 10 for the Sun, trailing 17 to 11.
1:41:16
Adams to throw.
1:41:17
Back he goes.
1:41:18
Ducks at the 40.
1:41:19
Fires and it's blocked.
1:41:20
At the 35 yard line by Keith Denson, running a slam over the middle.
1:41:25
And he has the first down.
1:41:26
Middle linebacker Jim Snidecky on the top for the Hawaiian.
1:41:31
Southern California continues to move.
1:41:35
You might recall when Southern California first went business, they signed Johnson, McAllister, and Brown.
1:41:41
And they're a triple sign.
1:41:42
They really got the team and part the league off to Brown.
1:41:46
All three of them were sure to be first round Jackson choices in the NFL.
1:41:51
So, I doubt if we'll be able to find out tonight where they are.
1:41:55
But it sounds like there's trouble in Sunland.
1:41:59
First and 10 for the Sun at the Hawaiian 33 yard line.
1:42:04
Adams on the give to Ralph Nelson off the tackle.
1:42:07
Flag is thrown.
1:42:08
Nelson is followed backwards and dropped.
1:42:10
Gains about two.
1:42:12
Pickup of about two yards.
1:42:14
Jim Snidecky, the middle linebacker on the Sun.
1:42:16
Greg Wojcik on the tackle.
1:42:18
And Greg Wojcik.
1:42:19
The illegal procedure is the call against the Sun.
1:42:23
So that will cost them five yards.
1:42:25
10-42 remaining here in the third quarter.
1:42:28
The Hawaiians leading 17 to 11.
1:42:31
Hawaiians with a touchdown in the opening quarter.
1:42:34
A touchdown in the field goal in the second quarter.
1:42:37
And Southern California scoring all of their points in the second quarter.
1:42:41
Five yards gently against the Sun.
1:42:44
Back to the Hawaiian 39 where it will be first and 15.
1:42:53
Hand and wide receiver in place is Dave Williams who's flying with a sprained ankle tonight.
1:42:58
He and Keith Denson flying to the right side.
1:43:02
Side end Dave Parks went out about three yards on the left side.
1:43:05
Hurd and Nelson the running back.
1:43:07
Adams will throw.
1:43:08
Back to the pocket.
1:43:09
Here comes the big rush.
1:43:10
He dumps it to the short man, Hurd.
1:43:12
He dumps it on the tackle.
1:43:13
35 to 30.
1:43:14
25 down the 26 yard line.
1:43:16
Hurd's foul on the California.
1:43:19
Chuck Shetwiler bringing Hurd down.
1:43:23
Adams was in a lot of trouble as he dumped the ball off to the short man, Greg Hurd.
1:43:29
Hurd did the rest by himself.
1:43:31
Looks like a buffalo on the loose as he bounced off tacklers.
1:43:35
Rambled down to the 21 yard line where it's first and 10.
1:43:41
Hurd leads the ball game.
1:43:47
Nelson and Clay Jeffries the running back.
1:43:50
Harrison Livesey's put to the left side.
1:43:53
Northern California with the drive going.
1:43:55
The pitch to Nelson, Livesey to the left side following Jeffries.
1:43:58
And he is written out of bounds.
1:44:00
About the line of coverage.
1:44:03
Good defensive play by Willie Williams.
1:44:05
The veteran cornerback coming up.
1:44:09
Adams tonight has completed 10 out of 18.
1:44:12
174 yards for the Sun.
1:44:17
Keith Denton checks back in.
1:44:19
And Ike Harris goes up.
1:44:21
Harris had to be helped off the field to first down after being hit by Chuck Shetwiler.
1:44:28
9.50 remaining in the third quarter, 17 to 11.
1:44:31
The Hawaiians on top.
1:44:33
As Lindsay slips to the left, Keith Denton to the right.
1:44:37
The cornerbacks drop off to cover those two.
1:44:40
The flip behind Adams.
1:44:42
Adams with a deep drop back now rolling to his right being chased.
1:44:45
Fires and nobody near the football.
1:44:48
An incomplete pass and no question about that.
1:44:51
Otto Brown is screaming for intentional rounding.
1:44:56
Who knows who the intended receiver was.
1:44:59
Chuck Shetwiler of the Hawaiians is the nearest man to it.
1:45:03
Adams was under heavy pressure, three men chasing him.
1:45:08
The crowd will be third down at 10.
1:45:10
At the 22 yard line of the Hawaiians.
1:45:15
Greg Wojcik comes in.
1:45:17
And Rich Watkins, who was in there for that play, goes out.
1:45:21
At defensive end.
1:45:25
Third and 10.
1:45:29
Sun down by six points.
1:45:32
After failing by 17.
1:45:34
The movement on the line, the flies go flying.
1:45:36
Fires the pass, it slips and it falls incomplete.
1:45:39
But it looks like Levi Stanley, the right defensive tackle, was offside for the Hawaiians.
1:45:45
Looks like Levi was a little bit too quick in his movement.
1:45:48
That's the call.
1:45:50
So that will cost the Hawaiians five yards.
1:45:56
And that will give Southern California the ball at the 16 yard line of the Hawaiians.
1:46:04
It will be third and five.
1:46:06
That sounds very cockly.
1:46:12
The animated scoreboard flashing go, go, go.
1:46:16
As Southern California tries to continue this drive.
1:46:19
Dave Williams back in the game.
1:46:21
Puts out to the right.
1:46:23
Icarus flying to the left side.
1:46:25
Hurd is back in and running back along with Ralph Nelson.
1:46:28
Adams with a short drop back.
1:46:29
Here comes the pressure and he's back by East.
1:46:32
Nobody blocks East and Rod buried Adams back at the 26 yard line.
1:46:39
Adams throws the football down in his gut, turns to his lineman and says, who missed an assignment?
1:46:48
Somebody let East through there that time.
1:46:50
That brings up the fourth and 15 situation.
1:46:56
The ball at the 25 yard line, Rod Garcia, the field goal kicker,
1:47:01
will be kicking in the dirt portion of the baseball field.
1:47:04
Actually kicking from second base.
1:47:07
It will be a 42 yard field goal attempt.
1:47:09
The ball will be planted down at the 32 and the goal post 10 yards deep.
1:47:13
So a 42 yard attempt by Garcia.
1:47:16
This is the half the spot by Adams.
1:47:17
The kick is up and it is good.
1:47:21
A 42 yard field goal that clearly made it over the crossbar.
1:47:26
And so a timeout on the field with the score.
1:47:29
The Hawaiians 17 and the Sun 14.
1:48:29
Rod Garcia set the kick off following a 42 yard field goal.
1:48:38
A high short end over end kick.
1:48:40
Richardson will field it at the 15.
1:48:42
Running laterally to the right side.
1:48:44
Gets to the 20, has some blocking.
1:48:46
Gets to the 25, tries to cut back.
1:48:48
Bounces off a man still on his feet but going nowhere.
1:48:50
And he drops at the 29 yard line.
1:48:53
Richardson stood in one spot.
1:48:56
Cut off about three tacklers before they finally slowed him under.
1:49:00
A 12 yard return by Richardson.
1:49:04
So after leading 17 to nothing.
1:49:07
The Hawaiians now find themselves leading by just 3 points 17 to 14.
1:49:12
With 9.55 left in the third quarter.
1:49:16
So let's see if Johnson and Company can go back to work.
1:49:20
Delaney and Eisenbarger slip to the left.
1:49:22
Davidson comes up to the running back.
1:49:25
Johnson on a give to Vinc Clements up the middle.
1:49:27
And he gets about three yards to clock him to 13.
1:49:30
We're on the 32 yard line.
1:49:33
Dave Roller on the offensively.
1:49:38
When you talk about Caps for the all league team or all WFL team.
1:49:43
Dave Roller certainly has it.
1:49:45
There's some serious consideration.
1:49:48
6'2", 272 and his second year from Kentucky.
1:49:51
Right of the New York Giants and also played up in Canada with a Hamilton Tiger Cat.
1:49:55
He's become a real favorite here in Anaheim.
1:49:58
Second and sixth for the Hawaiians.
1:50:01
Richardson goes in motion to the far side.
1:50:03
Johnson gives to Al Davis sweeping the left side.
1:50:06
As Jeff Seavey in front of him cuts back across the 35 up to the 40.
1:50:09
And he has the first down at the 40 yard line.
1:50:13
Dave Roller coming across the field to make the tackle.
1:50:16
Let's pause now for stationary identification.
1:50:19
This is the Coconut Wild West 40.
1:50:24
Joe Moore reminding you the University of Hawaii tackles Fresno State Saturday night at 7.05 on KGMB Honolulu.
1:50:34
Pickup of 10 yards, Clayton Heath checks in at running back.
1:50:38
It's first and 10 for the Hawaiians at their 42 yard line leading 17 to 14.
1:50:43
Johnson will throw, play big, back to throw, pump, whoop, being cased, you'll have to run.
1:50:48
He's in the 40, the 45, and he takes a dive and goes down to 47.
1:50:54
Brandy looking for a nice soft place to hide. Jim Baker, fill on him.
1:50:59
Pickup of about 6 yards.
1:51:02
Johnson is not one of your better running quarterbacks.
1:51:07
He ran out of necessity that time.
1:51:09
Ernie O'Leary replaces Al Davis in running back.
1:51:14
Davis leaves the game with 9 carries for 41 yards.
1:51:19
7 minutes remaining in the third quarter, and the Hawaiians leading by 3.
1:51:27
Johnson sets things up at the Hawaiians 48 yard line.
1:51:32
He sends Eisenbacher in motion to the far side.
1:51:35
They give, it's O'Leary, whoops the tackle, gets him off the field, runs over another man and fights his way down to the 42.
1:51:42
He's down to the Hawaiians, and that was the Ernie O'Leary of old.
1:51:46
He's right on the stop, and he lays out a tackle where O'Leary does.
1:51:52
Jim Baker's slow to get up, and O'Leary leaves the ball game, the job done.
1:51:57
Al Davis comes in.
1:51:59
It's today's work for Ernie.
1:52:04
First down at 10 for the Hawaiians, it's a 7-42.
1:52:07
Eisenbacher left and Delaney right.
1:52:09
Johnson back into the pocket, steps up, looks long, fires, Delaney fell down the fast interceptor.
1:52:16
And no, now they say incomplete pass.
1:52:19
Delaney, the attendant receiver, tried to make a cut and fell down, and it looked like Jim Bowman nearly picked it off, but he couldn't hang on to the football.
1:52:31
Or Jim Bright that was.
1:52:34
So it'll be second down at 10 for the Hawaiians, it's a 7-42.
1:52:40
Johnson now is in on 8 of 17 passes for 94 yards.
1:52:48
They have double wide receivers to the left, then Delaney and Richardson.
1:52:53
Johnson, to give to Clayton, he's up the middle, has some running room, and gets inside the 35 to about the 33.
1:53:00
He's popping through a hole.
1:53:02
Cleveland's Bann, the left linebacker on this stop.
1:53:05
Hawaiians have had pretty good success running straight up the gut against the Sun.
1:53:10
They've got some good blockers up there with Cadeel, Seavey, and Wilbur, as well as Johnson and Richardson.
1:53:19
Third down and a long one yard for the Hawaiians, the Sun 33.
1:53:24
A man wide to each side, and Johnson steps up.
1:53:27
Brandy takes the snap, he'll throw a fire for Eisenbarger, John has a first down with room to spare, as he dances out of the 28 guideline.
1:53:36
Eisenbarger running a sideline pattern in front of rookie Derwin Keaton.
1:53:42
Keaton played with Gary Backus of the Hawaiians at Oklahoma, and Wolfs were all big eight selections.
1:53:51
Another member of that team, Lucius Sellman, is also in the playoffs.
1:53:54
He plays with the Memphis Southman, defensive lineman.
1:53:57
First and 10 for the Hawaiians at the Sun 28, Hawaiians leading 17 to 14.
1:54:02
Five and a half minutes remaining in the third quarter.
1:54:05
From Anaheim Stadium, Johnson back straight into the pocket, look, pump, fire, look, caught by Delaney for a first down.
1:54:12
And he's wrestled down to 17 yard line.
1:54:15
Gene Howard on the tackle.
1:54:19
Johnson is an incredible passer when he's hot, that's the old saying, when you're hot you're hot, when you're not you're not.
1:54:26
But when Johnson gets on one of those freaks and starts working the sidelines, the right side, the left side, back to the right side, he'll pick you apart.
1:54:34
That's what he's doing right now.
1:54:36
First and 10 for the Hawaiians at the Sun 14.
1:54:39
Johnson now is in a 10 of 19 for 112 yards.
1:54:44
They keep Delaney in tight on the right side, send Richardson to the left.
1:54:48
They give up the middle, it's to Al Davis.
1:54:51
He gets to about the 13 or 14 before Charles C. Jornet brings him down, pick up of two yards.
1:55:01
Richardson goes out, John Eisenberger comes in.
1:55:04
Effectively, John Hoffman and Neil Carrot at the end.
1:55:08
Charles C. Jornet and Dave Roller at the tackle.
1:55:11
Jim Baker, Eric Patton, and Cleveland banned the linebackers.
1:55:14
Jack Connors and Rudy Redmond at the corners, they're with Keaton and Jim Brighter at the safety.
1:55:19
Second and eight for the Hawaiians at the Sun 13 yard line.
1:55:23
Eisenberger starts in motion at the near side.
1:55:25
Johnson backpedals, fire, right open.
1:55:29
Down at the five yard line at the side end, John Chelsea.
1:55:33
And John nearly fights his way into the end zone.
1:55:36
Chelsea was the short receiver as they sent Eisenberger and Delaney long.
1:55:42
Chelsea running a little comeback batter, took the grab at the,
1:55:45
or took the catch at the five, it took it down to about the two, actually inside the two, the one and a half.
1:55:51
Chelsea having a big night with five receptions for 67 yards.
1:55:56
Seventeen to 14, the Hawaiians leading and threatening to score again with 3.39 left in the third quarter.
1:56:02
Richardson slips to the right.
1:56:06
Johnson with a long count and a mix up in the backfield.
1:56:09
Jeff Sevey, a pulling guard, pulled about two seconds too soon and ran right over Randy Johnson.
1:56:15
It'll be a legal procedure against the Hawaiians.
1:56:20
Oh brother.
1:56:22
Sevey ran right into Johnson.
1:56:24
Jeff was the guard on the left side.
1:56:27
And he jumped the gun.
1:56:29
Now they're going to take Sevey out of there and bring in Richard Cheek, who brings with him a play.
1:56:36
The penalty, took the Hawaiians back at the seven yard line.
1:56:40
It'll be first and goal.
1:56:43
Costly mistake by the rookie.
1:56:47
Delaney slips out to the right side and now moves in tight.
1:56:51
Richardson is flank left.
1:56:54
Long count by Johnson.
1:56:55
Brady Richardson goes in motion.
1:56:57
Johnson to give to Al Davis, fights his way inside the five, down to about the two and a half.
1:57:03
Davis following the blocking of Richard Cheek and Corny Johnson.
1:57:08
Deidre Day and Ruler in on the stop.
1:57:13
John Eisenbarger comes in.
1:57:16
And they take out the tight end, John Kelsey.
1:57:22
Second and goal to go.
1:57:25
See if Richardson is. I don't believe the Hawaiians have a tight end in there right now.
1:57:32
They are going.
1:57:34
Well, Richardson will move to tight end.
1:57:37
Eisenbarger splits to the right and comes in motion.
1:57:41
Johnson to give to Al Davis, followed by Deidre.
1:57:43
Clements fights down near the end zone.
1:57:45
He is in for a touchdown.
1:57:47
Davis, touchdown for the Hawaiians.
1:57:51
That is 24 to 14.
1:57:55
The score came with 2-41 remaining by third quarter.
1:57:59
Al Davis, second touchdown of the night.
1:58:02
He had one in the first quarter.
1:58:06
This time Al rambles over from about two and a half yards out, to touchdown.
1:58:12
Tonight he has 13 carries for 50 yards, and a pair of touchdowns.
1:58:16
Not a bad evening so far.
1:58:18
Weese comes in at quarterback on the action point attempt.
1:58:22
Long count by Weese.
1:58:26
Eisenbarger goes in motion.
1:58:28
He is looking to his right, looking to run.
1:58:30
No doubt about it, he tries to get to the corner.
1:58:32
He is in for the action point.
1:58:35
So a timeout on the field, with the score, the Hawaiians 25 and the Sun 14.

1:59:37
Super KB, KB, go to the south!
1:59:42
RA Coppies ready to kick off as the Hawaiians lead 25 to 14.
1:59:47
Eric Johnson and Keith Denson are deep for the Sun.
1:59:51
Coppies has a low line drive kick. Denson is bumbled by Denson at the 20.
1:59:56
Picked up the 22, up to the 25, to the 30, 35.
1:59:59
He gets to the right sideline and again goes out of bounds.
2:00:04
Ran out of bounds at the 44-yard line.
2:00:07
For the second time tonight, Denson did not turn up field to try to challenge any of the tacklers.
2:00:11
When he saw that he was in trouble, he simply went out of bounds.
2:00:14
A 22-yard return.
2:00:18
A top-coring drive by the Hawaiians, conserved 6 minutes and 14 seconds.
2:00:23
As they hate up most of the third quarter, 232 remaining in the quarter.
2:00:30
Both starting quarterbacks have gone all the way. Tony Adams for the Sun.
2:00:35
Randy Johnson for the Hawaiians.
2:00:37
Lindsay and Harris split to the left.
2:00:40
Adams back to the road, steps up, looks, fires over the middle, caught by Lindsay,
2:00:44
and down the 44-yard line.
2:00:49
Inside Decky.
2:00:52
Decky, Lindsay following a 15-yard pick-up.
2:00:55
Good for a first down.
2:00:57
Adams comes right back.
2:00:59
Decky comes out of Harris, goes out a wide receiver.
2:01:05
Well, I mentioned at the beginning of the broadcast that we'd be seeing a lot of passing tonight.
2:01:09
The two quarterbacks certainly haven't disappointed us.
2:01:12
1-10 for the Sun at the Hawaiian 42.
2:01:15
Double-wide receivers to the left in Lindsay and Denton.
2:01:18
Adams gives to Ralph Nelson, following Greg Hurd over left tackle,
2:01:22
gets across to 35 and stumbles and goes down to 32.
2:01:27
Nine-yard pick-up, Willie Williams on the stop.
2:01:30
Couple of times tonight.
2:01:32
Looks like Nelson is going to pick up sizable yardage.
2:01:37
Stumbles as he broke into clear.
2:01:42
Now bring the Dickerod out for a measurement.
2:01:44
Nelson is going to be a fine running back before his career has been,
2:01:47
and keep in mind he's just 20 years of age.
2:01:50
What a future he's got.
2:01:52
You have to wonder how some college didn't pick him up.
2:01:55
He did not play college football, nor did Willie Spencer of Memphis Southland,
2:01:59
the leading scorer in the league.
2:02:02
Nelson with 13 carries tonight for 29 yards.
2:02:07
Spencer played in football country, Masellan, Ohio,
2:02:11
and did not go on to college.
2:02:15
I can't believe this.
2:02:16
A lot of the Sun fans are leaving.
2:02:19
We're in the third quarter with a minute 39 left,
2:02:22
and they're down by just 11 points.
2:02:24
A lot of the fans are leaving.
2:02:25
They're going for the Xs.
2:02:28
Second down, one for the Sun.
2:02:31
Adams takes a snap, gets a hurt,
2:02:34
shoots down the counting clock, and gets across to 30 down to the 27.
2:02:38
He has the first down.
2:02:40
This is almost unbelievable.
2:02:44
Well, it looks like they're not actually leaving.
2:02:46
It's raining.
2:02:47
They're hiding from the rain.
2:02:51
This is nothing compared to the rain in Hawaii.
2:02:57
This is mere sprinkle, a bit of winter mist.
2:03:05
First is Devin for the Sun at the Hawaiian 28-yard line,
2:03:08
52 seconds left in the third quarter.
2:03:10
Denson's foot to the left.
2:03:12
Adams to play fake.
2:03:13
Back to the roll.
2:03:14
Back to the rolling left.
2:03:15
Looking fast for Denson, incomplete, down to the 5-yard line.
2:03:18
And Denson was well covered by Willie Williams and Chuck Shedwiler,
2:03:22
a couple of former NFLers.
2:03:24
Shedwiler who played for the Packers, the Chargers, the Cardinals,
2:03:28
and Williams who spent 10 years with the New York Giants.
2:03:32
43 seconds left in the third quarter, the Hawaiians leading 25 to 14.
2:03:40
You almost have to squint to see the rain.
2:03:42
That's how light it is.
2:03:43
But DeSands is stirring for cover as if it was a downpour.
2:03:50
The Southern Californians, I don't know.
2:03:54
Second down, Ted for the Sun.
2:03:56
Adams gets to the second man through Nelson, and he runs into Sydecky,
2:04:00
and then everybody jumps on the bar.
2:04:03
Adrian Young was warned by his teammates.
2:04:06
Young came running from about 10 yards away and tried to jump on the pile,
2:04:10
and some of his teammates are warning him that that might count as 15 yards for piling on.
2:04:16
No gain on the play at third and 10.
2:04:20
Twenty seconds left in the quarter.
2:04:21
That may be the final play.
2:04:24
Hawaiians out by 11.
2:04:26
Their biggest lead tonight was 17 points.
2:04:29
Terry Lizzie slips to the right side.
2:04:32
Keith Denson to the left.
2:04:34
The back shift out of the eye, Hurd and Nelson.
2:04:37
Adams will throw.
2:04:38
Drops straight back.
2:04:39
Look, they're coming.
2:04:40
He is back.
2:04:41
He'll come around the neck and spin him down at the 41-yard line.
2:04:46
See who gets up off the pile.
2:04:49
Levi Stanley backing Adams, and there's the guns down at the end of the third quarter.
2:04:53
What's his score?
2:04:54
The Hawaiians 25 and the Sun 14.
2:05:00
He starts the fourth quarter of play with Southern California putting.
2:05:03
Norm Haneland will be standing at his 47-yard line.
2:05:08
William's back deep for the Hawaiians waiting at the 10.
2:05:12
Haneland takes a wobbly snap and puts it up.
2:05:14
Going for the left corner, Mosley fakes a runback,
2:05:17
lets the ball roll over his head into the end zone for a touchback.
2:05:21
Hawaiians have a rule on that end that if the ball is going to hit inside the 10,
2:05:26
then let it go.
2:05:28
Let it roll into the end zone.
2:05:30
Don't fake a runback.
2:05:34
So it's first and 10 for the Hawaiians.
2:05:35
It's their 20-yard line. They lead 25 to 14.
2:05:39
Al Davis with two touchdown runs tonight.
2:05:44
Randy Johnson having another big night in the passing department.
2:05:48
On the other hand, Tony Adams has been sacked four times for a total of 44 yards tonight.
2:05:54
The front four has really gotten to him.
2:06:01
Johnson sends Eisenbarger in motion.
2:06:04
The idea of up the middle is to 30-0 Lurie.
2:06:08
And he ran into John Wilbur, one of his blockers, as he was brought down to 22.
2:06:13
The attendance tonight, state attendance, 11,430.
2:06:19
And I have to say that's a little bit disappointing as far as Southern California people are concerned.
2:06:25
11,430.
2:06:27
Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come.
2:06:30
11,430.
2:06:34
Richardson and Delaney have slipped to the left side.
2:06:38
O'Leary and Clements are the running backs.
2:06:40
Johnson gives to Vin Clements, busting up the middle, following the block of Jim Cadeel.
2:06:44
And he fights his way down to the 25-yard line.
2:06:50
And evaluating that attendance figure, you have to keep in mind that the league and this team has had the last week or so.
2:06:57
They didn't even know if there would be a ball game.
2:07:00
Or for sure where it would be.
2:07:02
They have had less than a week to try to sell tickets.
2:07:05
And a lot of the newspapers here in the Los Angeles area were saying that the game was on Wednesday night and not tonight, Thursday night.
2:07:12
So they've had problems.
2:07:15
Third down, five for the Hawaiians.
2:07:17
And Johnson goes back to throw.
2:07:18
Here comes the rush.
2:07:19
He fires and it's caught by the tight end, John Kelsey, running a plan over the middle.
2:07:23
And he gets down to the 38-yard line where Jim Bright brings him down.
2:07:28
Kelsey coming up with another big catch.
2:07:31
And again the rush was on that time.
2:07:37
That gives the Hawaiians a first down.
2:07:40
Kelsey with six receptions tonight for 81 yards.
2:07:44
Normally you count on your tight end versus a lot of blocking and two or three receptions.
2:07:49
But John is getting free tonight.
2:07:52
13 minutes remaining in the game, 25-14 Hawaiians.
2:07:57
Johnson gives to Clayton Heath sweeping the left side off to 40.
2:08:01
And he is chased out of bounds at the 44-yard line.
2:08:05
Gene Howard running him out.
2:08:09
Five-yard pick-up for Heath, the rookie from Wake Forest.
2:08:14
The right-gettings has used all the Derrick Williams tonight in running back.
2:08:18
So Larry Davis, Clements, and Heath have all played.
2:08:22
Heath worked like quite a prospect.
2:08:24
He was caught by the Chicago Fire early in the year.
2:08:27
Has not played much except for special teams with the Hawaiians, but has shown sparks of brilliance.
2:08:35
Had a touchdown run last week of some 20 yards against Portland.
2:08:39
Quite an effort by Clayton.
2:08:41
They give up the middle as to Heath again and he's stacked up at the 45.
2:08:45
He runs into the center of that defensive line, 275 Dave Roller and 275 Charles Dijerne.
2:08:54
Relatively young front four for Southern California.
2:08:57
Skaren and Dijerne are rookies, lower than his second year.
2:09:01
And John Thompson is a five-year veteran.
2:09:04
Third down four for the Hawaiians at their 45.
2:09:08
The clock rolling with 12.25 remaining.
2:09:11
Delaney splits to the left, Eisenbarger to the right.
2:09:14
Johnson fires and is caught by Delaney trying to shake free of a tackler and he can't do it.
2:09:21
Delaney made the catch and it's good for no gain or perhaps a yard.
2:09:28
Gene Howard on the stop.
2:09:30
That'll bring us fourth down and the Hawaiians will have to kick it all away.
2:09:38
Sean Bans applauding the defensive members of their team.
2:09:42
Although Southern California is trailing by 11, this is a very explosive team as the Hawaiians found out in the first half.
2:09:48
They can come from behind and beat you with a big play.
2:09:52
With that, it's a quarterback. They're always capable of throwing that long ball.
2:09:56
Backus will punch Denson in single safety at the sun 17.
2:10:02
Backus will be kicking from his 31-yard line.
2:10:05
Levi Stanley in the center of the ball.
2:10:07
Backus takes it.
2:10:09
A wobbly spiral that hangs up. Denson will field it at the 18.
2:10:13
Running laterally, giving ground, bounces off a tackler.
2:10:16
He's to the 15, the 20, the 25, up to the 30 and he runs out of bounds at the 31-yard line.
2:10:23
She's out by Dave Ulrich.
2:10:27
13 yards returned by Denson following a 35-yard punch by Gary Backus.
2:10:32
Now a timeout on the field with the score, the Hawaiians 25 and the Sun 14.
2:10:38
The time is ripe if you're the type and this ain't no hype.

2:11:03
The Batchelor's Free, the place to be on Kapi'olani across from the Toho Theater.
2:11:09

2:11:36
At the airport are in Lehui.
2:11:39
First and 10th for the Sun at their 30-yard line, trailing 25 to 14 with 11-16 remaining in the ballgame.
2:11:46
And Adams will have to play catch-up football.
2:11:49
He gives to Greg Heard, busting off right tackle, and he's wrestled down by Adrian Young.
2:11:55
That's the 34-yard line.
2:11:58
And the Sun player is down. That is Tony Adams throwing out a dust and holding his ankle.
2:12:05
He's got one hand on his ankle and one on his knee. He is hurt.
2:12:09
So the officials will take a timeout.
2:12:12
Timeout on the field with the score, the Hawaiians 25 and the Sun 14.
2:12:17
Just wait till you fly out, primo, while you won't believe the taste.
2:12:22
It's a taste that'll make Hawaii proud.
2:12:27
In the old tradition of great beer making, we take our place.
2:12:32
And it's time for us to really shout out loud.
2:12:37
Primo coming on, primo's here.
2:12:42
Brother, you aren't tasting it till you're tasting primo beer.
2:12:47
Got a brand new brew house, a lot of changes made.
2:12:52
And a flavor that'll put us right on top.
2:12:57
With pure Hawaiian water, we'll make it taste just right.
2:13:03
We're on our way and we aren't gonna stop.
2:13:08
Taste what's happening, primo beer.
2:13:13
Brother, you aren't tasting it till you're tasting primo beer.
2:13:19
Bill Proctor back at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim, California,
2:13:23
with 10.54 remaining in the game and the Hawaiians leading the Sun 25 to 14.
2:13:28
Gary Valbuena, a rookie from Tennessee, has replaced the injured Tony Adams, the quarterback.
2:13:32
Valbuena will throw, or try to throw, but Lev Burnham sacks him.
2:13:39
Burnham gives him a playful tap on the behind.
2:13:44
Levi Stanley also in there, six yard loss on the play.
2:13:51
So a rude welcome extended to Gary Valbuena as Adams comes off the field.
2:13:56
Looks like he had an ankle injury.
2:13:59
And Valbuena, 6'3, 206, the rookie from Tennessee is in there.
2:14:04
It'll be third down and 10 down for the Sun, with 10 down remaining in the game.
2:14:11
The Sun is leading faster now on the sideline.
2:14:15
Lindsey flips to the right, Ike is to the left.
2:14:19
Jefferies and Nelson are the running backs behind Gary Valbuena.
2:14:24
Valbuena to throw.
2:14:25
Here comes a rush again.
2:14:27
He fires in a hurry and it's picked off.
2:14:29
Intercepted by Otto Brown.
2:14:31
Brown at the 25 and chopped down at the Sun 24 yard line.
2:14:35
Valbuena had to hurry that pass.
2:14:38
A rush up front for Lev Burnham, Otto Brown intercepted and brought him back 16 yards to the Sun 24.
2:14:47
And with that intersection a lot of the Sun routers start to head for the exit.
2:14:53
Most of those that got up earlier weren't leaving.
2:14:56
They were simply trying to find a dry spot here at Anaheim Stadium.
2:15:00
There are many of those tonight.
2:15:05
Johnson 10 for the Hawaiian to the Sun 24.
2:15:09
Delaney splits to the left.
2:15:11
Eisenbarger to the right.
2:15:14
O'Leary and Clements are running back.
2:15:16
Johnson rolls right by it.
2:15:17
Eisenbarger has it.
2:15:18
He's in for a touchdown.
2:15:20
A great catch by Eisenbarger.
2:15:23
But we have a flag on the play.
2:15:27
Johnson lost the ball in a corner pattern for Eisenbarger.
2:15:31
A fast runner-up made the catch and the touchdown will not count.
2:15:35
A holding penalty against the Hawaiian.
2:15:40
So a fine reception by Eisenbarger for the parent touchdown is wiped out by a holding penalty.
2:15:47
That will cost them 10 yards.
2:15:51
It will also cost them 7 points.
2:15:55
The penalty steps off to the Sun 35.
2:15:59
The first to stand 20.
2:16:01
940 left in the game.
2:16:03
The Hawaiians leading 25 to 14.
2:16:06
It was 17 to 11 in favor of the Hawaiians at halftime.
2:16:10
This Johnson goes back to the well.
2:16:13
Delaney left.
2:16:14
Eisenbarger right.
2:16:15
O'Leary moves over a couple of steps behind Johnson.
2:16:18
Here comes the rush in the linemen.
2:16:20
Ruler barks in to say hello to Randy Johnson and the flags will fly.
2:16:27
Ruler slides against the Sun.
2:16:30
So they go 5 yards the other way.
2:16:33
Ruler and Johnson were teammates with the New York Giants.
2:16:37
You might recall those of you who saw the last meeting between the teams at Honolulu Stadium.
2:16:41
Ruler blindsided Randy Johnson in that ball game and I wasn't sure Randy would get up.
2:16:47
I asked Randy about that and he said, well, Dave Ruler told me before the ball game that he was going to stop by and say hello.
2:16:56
They fake a blip to give it to Heath.
2:16:59
Heath is in trouble.
2:17:00
He dropped for a lot.
2:17:02
Not only did they fake the blips, they came with the blips.
2:17:05
Now Heath ran right into it as he was knocked down to 34 yard line, a loss of three.
2:17:12
Deidre Day, Ruler and Baker all in on the stop.
2:17:18
Substitution on defense.
2:17:20
Cleveland Band comes in replacing Jim Buckman.
2:17:24
Band a rookie from Oklahoma State.
2:17:26
Second and 19 for the Hawaiians at the Sun 33.
2:17:30
Nine minutes left in the game.
2:17:32
Johnson will go to the air.
2:17:34
Back he goes.
2:17:35
Fire's on for Kelsey.
2:17:36
And Kelsey was open but a great play by Gene Howard who sat in front of Kelsey and tipped the ball away at the 13 yard line.
2:17:43
That pass, that touchdown written all over it as Kelsey was open when Howard reached out and flicked it away.
2:17:52
Howard, a six year veteran from Langston University, played with the Saints and the Rams in the NFL.
2:18:00
It'll be third and 19.
2:18:03
The ball at the Sun 33.
2:18:09
Heisenberger splits to the left, picked up by Rudy Redmond.
2:18:14
Kim Berlany to the right, picked up by Jim Bullman.
2:18:17
Heisenberger starts at most of the near side.
2:18:20
And he's ruffled down by Roller back at the 39.
2:18:24
Roller, possibly interference, and drops to O'Leary for a loss of about five yards.
2:18:33
Good quickness by Roller.
2:18:38
You can see signs around the stadium.
2:18:40
Rockham Roller and go get him Dave.
2:18:44
Popular figure here in Anaheim Stadium.
2:18:47
Fourth and 25 for the Hawaiians, Bakus will punt.
2:18:52
Keith Denson waiting for it at the 10 yard line.
2:18:55
Bakus will try a cop and corner shot as he stands with his 45.
2:18:59
Dave Ulrich, the blocker in front of him.
2:19:01
Bakus takes the snap, hangs it up going for the left corner.
2:19:05
Denson moves over to field it.
2:19:07
The ball hits and rolls out of bounds at the 15 yard line.
2:19:12
With 9.13 heading in the quarter.
2:19:16
23 yard punt by Bakus.
2:19:20
And now a timeout on the field with the score, the Hawaiians 25 and the Sun 14.
2:19:27
Now at J.B.'s discotheque in the colony surface, it's Southern Flavor.
2:19:33
Southern Flavor, a hot-eat-piece group, takes the stage nightly except Wednesday,
2:19:37
playing the finest dance music in Honolulu.
2:19:39
Southern Flavor gets things moving at nine.
2:19:42
It plays on through to closing at J.B.'s to drop by any time.
2:19:46
And taste, Southern Flavor, now at J.B.'s discotheque in the colony surface.
2:19:52
J.B., Hawaiians' first real discotheque.
2:19:56

2:20:22
Go!
2:20:28
Southern California will start to work first to 10 from their own 17 yard line.
2:20:33
Gary Valbuena at quarterback having replaced the injured Tony Adams.
2:20:36
Clay Jeffries and Ralph Nelson at the running back, set in the eye.
2:20:41
Valbuena plays back to throw, fires the bleach to Lindsay, and he has the first down.
2:20:46
The 34 yard line.
2:20:48
Chuck Detweiler making the stop.
2:20:51
He gave Lindsay a good shot, but Terry hung on.
2:20:55
A wrong yard pick up.
2:20:57
To the 34 yard line of Southern California.
2:21:01
And Valbuena can throw that football. He's a big, strong kid.
2:21:06
Hasn't played too much.
2:21:08
Only a tenth of 75 passes coming into this game.
2:21:11
Cleaning 39 for 577 yards.
2:21:14
Throwing for six touchdowns.
2:21:17
First to 10 for the Sun. Icarus goes in motion to the far side.
2:21:21
Otto Brown follows him to give it to Jeffries. Off-right tackle and Ron East drags it down.
2:21:26
After a gain of just a yard.
2:21:28
Let's pause for station identification.
2:21:30
This is the Coconut Wireless Sports Network.
2:21:33
KGMB, 14.
2:21:35
Joe Moore reminding you the University of Hawaii tackles Fresno State Saturday night at 7.05 on KGMB Honolulu.
2:21:42
Super KGMB.
2:21:44
Seven minutes nine seconds remaining in the game and the Hawaiians leading 25 to 14.
2:21:49
At first half it appeared that they would run wild in this ball game as they led 17 to nothing.
2:21:55
But the Sun made it 17 to 11 and a half times.
2:21:59
Long count by Val Buena.
2:22:02
Back he goes.
2:22:03
Shuts up. Pumped. Worked. Fire. Goal.
2:22:05
And it is incomplete.
2:22:08
Down at the 30 yard line of the Hawaiians.
2:22:11
Willie Williams and Keith Denson running a foot race but the pass was overthrown.
2:22:16
So there you have quite a contrast.
2:22:21
The rookie Denson against the 10-year veteran Willie Williams.
2:22:24
Williams was released by the New York Giants at the beginning of this year and if you talk to people around
2:22:33
throw football they'll tell you that it wasn't because Willie was getting older, he's 31,
2:22:38
because his legs were going, it was because of his high salary.
2:22:42
He was one of the highest paid defensive backs in the National Football League.
2:22:47
He's still got plenty of football left.
2:22:50
Third down nine for the Sun at their 34 yard line.
2:22:54
Val Buena plays a goal left, reverses, rolls right, fires.
2:22:58
Screen pass to Nelson. Nelson at the 45, up to the 40, run out of bounds.
2:23:04
At the 49 yard line. Good for a first down.
2:23:08
Val Buena started to move to the left side.
2:23:11
This turnaround rolled to the right and by then the screen was set up.
2:23:15
Ralph Nelson taking it against Nidecki breaking it down.
2:23:20
Ball Tyler and Kevin Grady leading the way for Nelson.
2:23:25
First and 10 for the Sun.
2:23:28
They spot the ball at the 47 yard line of the Sun.
2:23:33
Nelson got a little further than that.
2:23:36
6.37 left in the game and the clock is not moving.
2:23:44
I assume Nelson was out of bounds. Val Buena dropped straight back, fires in and out of the hands of Denson.
2:23:52
Denson's flanning over the middle and he ripped his chin strap away at this cut.
2:23:59
He talked to wide receivers. They'll tell you the true test of a floor receiver is his ability to catch the ball over the middle.
2:24:07
Those linebackers, defensive backs closing in on him.
2:24:12
At that time Denson did not come up with a catch.
2:24:16
Kim Delaney is the master of making catches like that. Heavy traffic going in over the middle where he's going to take those severe licks.
2:24:24
Second down, 10 for the Sun.
2:24:27
At their 47, Val Buena will go to the air again.
2:24:30
Backed up, being chased, fires on the run, dipped up in the air and is intercepted.
2:24:35
It's picked off by Adrian Young trying to stay in bounds, still going. Down to the 20, the 15 and he's down to the 13 yard line.
2:24:43
It looked like Young had stepped out of bounds at about the 30.
2:24:48
And the Sun players gave up on him and Adrian took it all the way down to the 13.
2:24:53
Let's see if they bring it back.
2:24:57
The run back was 41 yards by Adrian Young.
2:25:01
Gary Val Buena is the quarterback and the last man who had a shot at Adrian made the tackle.
2:25:06
Strange plays they gave up on Young.
2:25:10
He was trying to stay in bounds and was waving one arm to try to balance himself.
2:25:16
Looks like a high wire act.
2:25:18
But he stayed in and took it down to the 13.
2:25:21
First and 10 for the Hawaiian.
2:25:24
See if Johnson can strike quickly.
2:25:27
Give to O'Leary following John Wilbur over the left side and he gets down to about the 11.
2:25:34
Dave Ruler wrestles it down.
2:25:38
Now the fan again strikes the deep with 6.05 left.
2:25:46
Hawaiians on top by 11 for the running to bang one over again.
2:25:50
The defense tonight has created a lot of opportunities for the Hawaiian.
2:25:54
Naidecky with an interception to shut up one touchdown and Adrian Young's stuff leading to this drive.
2:26:01
Delaney's foot to the right.
2:26:05
Richardson to the left and Grady goes in motion.
2:26:08
The give is to O'Leary flipping left side.
2:26:10
Schaik and Wilbur on the front.
2:26:12
And O'Leary gets inside the 10 and the 8 before he's knocked down.
2:26:16
Jim Bright, a rookie from UCLA.
2:26:21
Again, I can't help but wonder where James McAllister, Kermit Johnson, and Booker Brown are tonight.
2:26:33
We're going to keep layers for Southern California.
2:26:36
Not showing up.
2:26:39
We'll try to investigate.
2:26:42
We'll call Sherlock Holmes in if we have to to find out what's happening.
2:26:50
The water says they aren't being paid.
2:26:51
That will be the answer.
2:26:52
Johnson, rock one, caught by Eisenbarger in the right corner of the end zone.
2:26:56
Eisenbarger now gets into a fight with Jim Bowman.
2:27:00
They're plugging it out.
2:27:01
Here come players.
2:27:03
And the officials are trying to separate.
2:27:04
Jim Bowman is on the back of Eisenbarger.
2:27:07
O'Leary trying to pull Bowman off.
2:27:09
Now Bob Richards, the big lineman, comes in.
2:27:11
Here come the other players.
2:27:12
Now a small-scale squad fest in the right corner of the end zone.
2:27:16
Jeff Seamey jumps into it.
2:27:18
And they are really going at it.
2:27:20
Here come the rest of the feds.
2:27:21
They're plugging it out.
2:27:23
And I don't know who can stop this one.
2:27:26
What the players themselves do.
2:27:28
About three or four fights breaking out.
2:27:30
They pull Bowman away.
2:27:32
There's still a pile up down.
2:27:34
John Wolbert gets up off the pile.
2:27:37
Mike Giddings is over there.
2:27:41
And I'll tell you, they were really going at it for a minute or two.
2:27:44
Levi Stanley comes over and sets up things for Dave Roller of Southern California.
2:27:49
Roller lost his helmet in this couple.
2:27:52
They pick it up and give it back to him.
2:27:54
Both benches empty.
2:27:59
And it looked like they were going to have a pure, thick crawl for a minute or two.
2:28:05
The touchdown makes it 32 to 14.
2:28:09
Eisenbarger made the catch.
2:28:11
And Bowman kind of pinned him down after making the tackle.
2:28:15
And Eisenbarger didn't like that.
2:28:17
So those two started in.
2:28:19
And everybody else joined in the fight.
2:28:23
32 to 14.
2:28:24
The Hawaiians on top.
2:28:25
His order is restored.
2:28:28
Players returning to both benches.
2:28:34
4.53 left in the game.
2:28:36
And the Hawaiians will try the action point in the two-and-a-half-yard line.
2:28:40
And the ball comes in at quarterback.
2:28:46
What a wild fight breaking out in the right corner of the end zone.
2:28:49
If those players did not restore order themselves, I'm not sure anyone could have stopped that fight.
2:28:55
You get 80 football players going at it full tilt.
2:28:58
Take an army to stop them.
2:29:01
The ball is at two-and-a-half for the action point attempt.
2:29:05
As the Hawaiians seem to have this one stored up, but they're still 4.53 left.
2:29:11
You can never count a team like the Sun out.
2:29:15
Delaney and Eisenbarger splits to the left.
2:29:17
And Weese waits for the pass.
2:29:20
Long count.
2:29:21
Eisenbarger goes in motion.
2:29:23
Weese, Delaney, is left following the block of TV.
2:29:25
Fires!
2:29:26
And a diving catch.
2:29:28
Delaney made the catch, but he was out of the end zone, out of the action point trail.
2:29:33
Time out on the field with the score.
2:29:35
The Hawaiians, 32, and the Sun, 14.
2:29:38
Homeowners, how would you like to expand the facilities of your home perhaps out of the line?
2:29:43

Hey, hey, that's merchandise, moving as a bike.
2:30:25
Down we go, we all day off the bike, you put our good in now, Fisher Hawaii 40-box,
2:30:30
5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5.
2:30:40
It's a great copy to kick off of the goal line.
2:30:43
He's out to the 10, the 15, and knocked down at the 18-yard line.
2:30:47
And Coppich, although he booted that ball to the end line, did not kick the ball for 40
2:30:54
because there was a 15-yard penalty against Southern California, a personal foul following that fight.
2:31:01
18-yard return by Denson.
2:31:06
So Southern California was hit with a personal foul penalty following that melee in the endzone.
2:31:16
First and sad for the Sun, at their 19-yard by an April 32 to 14, we have 4.43 left in the game.
2:31:23
And it looks like the Hawaiians have this one in the bag.
2:31:26
Valbuena still in there at quarterback, replacing Adams who was injured earlier.
2:31:30
Valbuena is going to be sacked!
2:31:32
He did not have time to set up.
2:31:34
It was buried in the 8-yard line by Greg Wojcik and Levi Stanley.
2:31:38
10-yard loss, and Levi helps Valbuena to his feet.
2:31:42
And Levi Stanley off the ball.
2:31:45
Second and one, on the nine.
2:31:50
And Southern California quarterbacks tonight have been sacked five times for 54 yards.
2:31:57
They got to Tony Adams six times the last meeting between these two clubs.
2:32:03
Adams was dumped six times by Ford the last week, so these Sun quarterbacks have taken a beating in the last couple weeks.
2:32:10
Second down 20 for the Sun at their own nine-yard line.
2:32:15
Jeffries and Nelson, they're running back.
2:32:19
Valbuena with a long count.
2:32:21
Wrong way to give to Nelson, and he's going nowhere.
2:32:24
And the Hawaiians diagnose it perfectly, and they bring Nelson down at the three.
2:32:31
A flag on the play, and the Hawaiians help Nelson to his feet.
2:32:36
Offside against the Hawaiians is the call.
2:32:40
Five-yard penalty.
2:32:41
Rich Watkins on the top along with Levi Stanley.
2:32:48
The Watkins is seeing a good deal of action tonight after being out with an injury for most of the year.
2:32:54
He played some the last couple of weeks.
2:32:58
Looking from Weber State who had a couple of toppings with the New Orleans Saints a year ago.
2:33:03
Four-ten left in the contest.
2:33:06
Hawaiians leading by 18.
2:33:10
And it's second at 15.
2:33:13
Lindsay and Ike here are splitting the right side.
2:33:19
Marks the tight end on the right side.
2:33:23
Valbuena, top straightback.
2:33:25
Set, Myers-Walve, and almost picked off, but a flag is thrown here at Kansas.
2:33:30
It's up at the 40. Cross midfield into Hawaiian territory and dragged down to 36.
2:33:37
What a strange play that was.
2:33:39
And now they're taking an incomplete pass, I believe.
2:33:45
The cornerback, Otto Brown, gambled and tried to make the interception.
2:33:50
He cut in front of Harris, missed the ball, and Harris made a diving catch.
2:33:56
It looked for a moment like he trapped the ball, then he got to his feet and ran down to the 37.
2:34:02
A 49-yard pick-up on the play.
2:34:05
First to 10, Southern California at the Hawaiian 37.
2:34:09
Big play for the Sun.
2:34:12
Valbuena waits for the snap, spins around, fires, three-pops to play to Denson.
2:34:16
Denson looking for blocking, trying to jook for some room, gets up to the 30, and he's run out at the 28.
2:34:24
Hawaiian maneuvering by Keith Denson, and he and Oly Reyes exchange words as Oly reps him out.
2:34:31
That stops the clock with 3.13 left.
2:34:36
The ball of the 28-yard line at the Hawaiian.
2:34:39
He leads 32 to 14.
2:34:41
Watkins goes out, and Dave Atkinson comes in.
2:34:46
Chuck Denweiler goes out.
2:34:48
Atkinson, the rookie from BYU, is in the defensive backfield now.
2:34:53
We have Wojcik, Stanley, Easton, Burnham across the front line.
2:34:57
Backus, Nidecky, and Young, the linebackers.
2:35:01
Second and one. Valbuena rolling left, stops, fires, is caught by Linton inside the 15,
2:35:07
and he's gang tackled and wrestled back to market forward progress at the 15-yard line.
2:35:12
Southern California refuses to give up.
2:35:15
With 3.05 left, I would say time is probably against them.
2:35:22
Brother.
2:35:25
In the first half, they scored in just 36 seconds, so don't count them out.
2:35:31
Valbuena's done quite a job, taking over for Tony Adams.
2:35:34
He did a five of nine passes, 120 yards.
2:35:37
And now we have a face-match penalty against the Hawaiians.
2:35:42
He'll knock the ball down at the 10-yard line on the penalty.
2:35:45
First to foul, grabbing the face-match.
2:35:49
Valbuena's first and goal to goal for the Sun at the Hawaiian pen.
2:35:53
3.05 left in the ballgame.
2:35:57
For the winner, they move on to meet Birmingham next week, and for the loser,
2:36:01
it'll be time to pack the bags and go home.
2:36:07
Lindsay and Denson, foot to the left.
2:36:11
Valbuena takes the snap, rolling right, has Locking looking.
2:36:14
He may run, trying to get to the outside, and he's knocked down at the 14-yard line.
2:36:18
He looked like he wanted to run.
2:36:21
Adrian Young and Lem Burnham making the stop.
2:36:25
The veteran and the rookie, Young in his seventh year from USC,
2:36:29
and Lem Burnham in his first year from U.S. International.
2:36:33
Young bounced around the NFL.
2:36:35
He's been to the Eagles, the Lions, the Saints, and most recently the Chicago Bears.
2:36:43
Second down and goal to goal for the Sun at the Hawaiian's 14-yard line.
2:36:47
Two and a half minutes left in the game.
2:36:49
Valbuena, straight back, steps up, fires, and it's kicked off by Adrian Young.
2:36:54
His second interception, and he's wrestled down to seven.
2:36:57
And now some late hitting taking part, as Lindsay and Andre go at it.
2:37:02
Adrian Young playing a great ballgame, coming up with a big interception.
2:37:07
That should be the final nail in the coffin for Southern California's concern.
2:37:12
Two-twenty left in the game.
2:37:17
The defense has come up with some big plays tonight for the Hawaiian.
2:37:22
Think back to the beginning of the year when this was a defense that was riddled by passes.
2:37:27
Over the past ten games they've been the WFL's best, yielding less than 100 yards per game.
2:37:36
First stand ten for the Hawaiian at their seven-yard line following Young's interception.
2:37:42
North-Wheath has replaced Randy Johnson at quarterback.
2:37:46
Keith and O'Leary are the running backs.
2:37:49
Long count by Weath to give to O'Leary, follows Slate-Metroceptorville and spins out to about the seven-yard line.
2:37:58
Two-twelve left in the game, they'll take a timeout for the two-minute warning.
2:38:05
The fans continuing to leave.
2:38:09
The WFL team is about to come to a close for the Southern California Sun as they take a timeout for the two-minute warning and we'll stay right here.
2:38:21
Another WFL playoff game tonight.
2:38:23
The Florida Blazers beat the Philadelphia Bell 18-3 down in Orlando.
2:38:27
The Blazers will move on to meet the Memphis Southman next Friday night in Memphis and the Hawaiians will play the Birmingham Americans next Wednesday in Birmingham and you'll hear that game on the Superbee.
2:38:43
Before these playoffs started, Mike Gidding, the Hawaiian's coach, said he thought his club could go all the way.
2:38:51
He thought they could win it all and they have taken one giant step toward that goal tonight.
2:38:58
A lot of the subs in there now, let's see if they can pick them up for you.
2:39:03
Al Oliver is going to tackle. He was a starter early in the year but banged up a knee.
2:39:10
Weath is a quarterback, Keith and O'Leary the running backs.
2:39:15
Most of the starting offensive line is still in there, Wilbur, Richards, Corny Johnson, Gadeel.
2:39:24
Brady Richardson in a wide receiver.
2:39:27
Two minutes left in the game, it's second down and ten for the Hawaiians.
2:39:31
At their seven-yard line.
2:39:36
Richardson's foot's out to the left.
2:39:38
Derrick Williams is also in a wide receiver for the first time.
2:39:41
He flanks to the right.
2:39:44
So the Hawaiians will win the rubber match in the battle between these two clubs.
2:39:50
Al Oliver's play, Weath keeps and falls to the ground and he's knocked down to five.
2:39:54
A loss to the couple on the play.
2:39:58
North couldn't find anyone to get on to.
2:40:02
And it'll be third and twelve. Two more subs come on for the Hawaiians.
2:40:06
And the Sun will take a timeout.
2:40:09
We have an injured player for the Hawaiians and this could be a costly injury.
2:40:14
Corny Johnson is hurt.
2:40:16
He's down on the ground. Richard Sheik trying to help him up and trainer Link Kamura comes out.
2:40:23
Johnson has been a main hog for the Hawaiians.
2:40:27
He lives in an offensive line.
2:40:29
An eight-year veteran from Virginia Union played for the Baltimore Colts where he was a starter and then was traded to the Redskins.
2:40:36
Kind of an interesting story about how Corny ended up with the Hawaiians.
2:40:40
They had signed John Wilbur as the future for next year.
2:40:44
Wilbur was released by the Washington Redskins this year.
2:40:48
And Corny, Corny Johnson had a contract with George Allen.
2:40:53
And so they released Corny as well and Wilbur said, look, come to Hawaii. I think you'll like it.
2:40:59
Well, Johnson was on his way to the Denver Broncos. He had an offer from them.
2:41:03
But decided he'd go with his buddy Wilbur. They're roommates on the road and they're good friends.
2:41:07
And so he ended up in Hawaii.
2:41:09
So it was kind of a double fine for the Hawaiians. Both excellent offensive linemen.
2:41:14
Johnson lifts off the field and hopefully he's okay.
2:41:19
He'll leave the game and Richard Sheik has replaced him.
2:41:22
One-fifty-five left in the ball game. The Hawaiians on top, 32 to 14. Third down, 12.
2:41:28
At their own five.
2:41:31
Eric Williams with left, John Eisenbarger right. Weiss at the control.
2:41:38
Long count by North. Eisenbarger goes in motion.
2:41:43
Weiss gives Ernie O'Leary, following Richard Sheik. He punches out for about seven where he's not down.
2:41:49
John Hoffman on the stop. Along with Eric Patton.
2:41:54
It'll be fourth down and the Hawaiians will have to kick the ball away.
2:42:02
And Southern California takes their final count.
2:42:08
They will probably come with a big rush and try to block this kick.
2:42:12
They're 18 points down with 141 left. So really not much left in Southern California.
2:42:23
Talking about the strange things that happen and what a small world pro football is.
2:42:29
I was having dinner tonight with some of the Hawaiians and Dave Ulrich was telling me a story.
2:42:33
He said, you know, the center for Southern California,
2:42:39
the backup center, Chuck Bradley,
2:42:44
Dave Ulrich was his Babe Ruth League baseball coach and he said he almost died last week,
2:42:49
last time he clubbed Matt. We looked over and saw Bradley. Coach playing against his old player.
2:42:55
Back is hanged up a high lazy putt taken by Denson in midfield running laterally.
2:43:00
Gets a block, tries to cut back and a flag is thrown.
2:43:03
They have a clip.
2:43:05
As Denson was buried at the 49-line of Southern California.
2:43:12
One of the Sun players is very upset. Ken Lee, some of his teammates restraining him.
2:43:19
And I think we're going to have a clip against the Sun.
2:43:23
44-yard putt by Back is really drove it high.
2:43:27
Clipping the call against Southern California.
2:43:31
Advanced and remain, let loose with a chorus of booze.
2:43:37
That's spelled B-O-O-O-O-O-O-D-E.
2:43:42
That may be the case too.
2:43:46
15-yard penalty against the Sun. Back of their 30-yard line.
2:43:50
John Mosley comes in a defensive back, replacing Willie Williams who's played a fine ball game.
2:43:55
First and 10 for the Sun. 128 left in the Hawaiian.
2:44:01
They're beginning to go into the locker room and celebrate a bit as they've taken a step toward a possible World Football League title.
2:44:08
Val Buena takes the snap.
2:44:10
Backs, fires as he fobbers, gets it away and it's incomplete.
2:44:13
Val Buena went down again.
2:44:15
There's a crash rush. Levi Stanley getting hurt.
2:44:19
Rich Watkins also in there.
2:44:23
The Hawaiian team really kept the pressure on tonight.
2:44:26
Val Buena's compounded five out of 11 for 101 yards, but he's had three intercepted tonight.
2:44:35
He said at the beginning of the broadcast the quarterbacks would come out throwing and that they did.
2:44:40
Both Johnson and Adams had good success, but Adams left the game with an injury.
2:44:47
That was a key point as far as Southern California is concerned.
2:44:52
Ulrich in the middle linebacker.
2:44:55
Val Buena went over the air.
2:44:57
It is 20 fires and it's caught by Clay Jeffries and he's knocked down at the 38 yard line.
2:45:04
Dave Ulrich on the stop.
2:45:06
Ulrich an eight-year veteran from San Francisco.
2:45:09
Imagine by now you've heard a story about how Ulrich got started in football.
2:45:14
He was dating John Brody's sister and when he graduated from San Francisco, Brody got Ulrich a tryout with the 49ers.
2:45:21
He's been around three years.
2:45:23
He's got pumps, looks, fires, it's caught.
2:45:25
Lindsay Haffin spins away from one tackler.
2:45:27
Ulrich is forward to the 50 yard line where he's knocked down, a 50-second slap.
2:45:33
So this one is wrapped up as far as the Hawaiians are concerned.
2:45:37
Southern California lining up with the huddles.
2:45:40
Three e-gluts on that side.
2:45:44
Second-year pro from Stephen F. Austin is in the game now.
2:45:47
Val Buena drops back, steps up in the pocket, fires to the short man Jeffries.
2:45:51
Ulrich is at 40, trying to get to the outside to stop the clock.
2:45:54
And he works out on the far sideline with 26 seconds left.
2:45:59
14 yard pick-up.
2:46:05
Dave, we can pick up some of the new faces in that defensive lineup for you.
2:46:09
John Douglas is in.
2:46:11
Dave Atkinson is in there.
2:46:15
Rich Watkins on the front line.
2:46:17
John Mosley.
2:46:20
26 seconds left, and this may very well be the final play of the ballgame.
2:46:26
Hawaiians leading 32 to 14.
2:46:32
Dave Williams has played very little in this second half,
2:46:34
lifts out to his position wide to the right.
2:46:36
He's been playing with a badly sprained ankle.
2:46:38
Now it's the movement on the front line.
2:46:40
The Hawaiians collide and the flags go flying.
2:46:43
Levi Stanley was across for the Hawaiians.
2:46:45
And he was drawn across, illegal procedure against Southern California.
2:46:54
With 26 seconds left in the game.
2:46:59
Getting back to that story about Ulrich, he didn't play college football in San Francisco.
2:47:04
They had club football, which is the kind of play if you want to.
2:47:08
There were training rules and that kind of thing, basically for fun.
2:47:13
Dave got out of school, he didn't know what he wanted to do,
2:47:15
and John Brody got him a tryout.
2:47:18
Ulrich had some funny things happen to him.
2:47:20
He started as a tight end, had one reception which he fumbled, the ball was lost.
2:47:25
That was his only reception in pro football.
2:47:28
Last year he was traded by the 49ers to the Chicago Bears.
2:47:31
If he had to pick a day, Ulrich was traded on his school's day.
2:47:35
Valbuena unloads a bomb.
2:47:37
He's got a man out there and it's incomplete.
2:47:40
It's the end of Dave Williams, the intended receiver.
2:47:45
But Otto Brown back there with him.
2:47:47
The Hawaiians in a pre-match defense.
2:47:50
And that stops the clock with 20 seconds left in the game.
2:47:54
It'll be second and 15.
2:47:57
Everybody in the ballpark knows what Valbuena will do.
2:48:02
There's not much hope left.
2:48:06
22 to 14 in favor of the Hawaiians.
2:48:10
A convincing victory, although at times the momentum shifted back and forth.
2:48:15
The Hawaiians jumped out with 17 to nothing lead.
2:48:18
Southern California came back to make it 17 to 11 half-time.
2:48:22
Valbuena rolling to his left, fires on the run, and it's blocked by Nissen at the 22 yard line.
2:48:27
He has the first sound.
2:48:29
The clock's rolling.
2:48:30
Southern California is out of timeout.
2:48:32
Mostly making the stop, but the time may run out.
2:48:36
Four seconds left.
2:48:39
And, well, they had one sound out remaining, evidently.
2:48:45
Because Southern California takes the time with three seconds left on the clock.
2:48:52
And if they can figure out how to put 18 points on the board in three seconds, there's just no way.
2:49:01
But they would like to get another touchdown and narrow the deficit a bit.
2:49:07
So the Hawaiians will move on to meet the Birmingham Americans next week in Birmingham, next Wednesday, the 27th.
2:49:18
Birmingham has revenge in mind because the Hawaiians beat them 14 to 8 at Honolulu Stadium after Birmingham crushed them down in Alabama earlier in the year.
2:49:30
Hawaiians really feel they can play with anybody in the league, and they certainly proved that point.
2:49:35
You get a different feeling in talking to the players now.
2:49:37
At the beginning of the year, when they'd go out to face someone, a team composed of rookies, you got the idea that they were kind of frightened at times or were in awe, but now they really feel that they can beat anyone.
2:49:48
A lot of confidence on this club.
2:49:50
Valbuena will throw this will be the final play.
2:49:52
Two seconds.
2:49:53
He fires.
2:49:54
It's blocked by Nissen, and Nissen has wrestled down the floor.
2:49:57
The game comes to an end.
2:50:00
So the Southern California drive is ended by the final gun, and he ended the game.
2:50:05
The final score, the Hawaiians 32, the Southern California Sun 14.
2:50:10
Stay tuned for Hawaiians football wrap-up.
