00:00:00We're back live at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, a beautiful scene from our Goodyear

00:00:09blimp.

00:00:10The scene set, almost total darkness, the lights of the state fair in the background

00:00:16as the band begins to perform its halftime entertainment.

00:00:19Yes, over 68,000 people here watching the Dallas Cowboys enjoying a 13 to 6 halftime

00:00:26lead over the Giants.

00:00:28The scoring as shown on your screen, first a 42-yard field goal by Mike Clark to give

00:00:34Dallas a 3-0 lead, then a 35-yard field goal by Pete Gogolak to tie it at 3-3, a 41-yarder

00:00:42by Mike to make it 6-3 Dallas, a 20-yarder by Pete to make it 6-6, and then finally with

00:00:49only 17 seconds left in the first half, the culmination of a drive by the Cowboys within

00:00:55the final two minutes, magnificently explained by Don Meredith as he forced his team or X

00:01:01team down the field, staw back through to tight end Billy Chuaks for 4 yards, Dallas

00:01:07leading 13 to 6.

00:01:08The statistics speak for themselves, Dallas dominating, only mildly though in total number

00:01:14of offensive plays in first downs, a reasonable edge in rushing yardage, a very scared edge

00:01:21in passing yardage, and the total yardage of the two teams not that vastly different.

00:01:27Time of possession speaks for itself on the screen.

00:01:30Now it's my personal privilege to remind you, viewers and listeners, that our NBA season

00:01:37begins Friday, November 26th, and our color commentator will be Big Bill Russell, with

00:01:42whom I spoke yesterday asking him what he'd add to the package.

00:01:47Well, Howard, I'd like to think I'm going to add insight from a coaching viewpoint and

00:01:53honesty and intelligence.

00:01:55I think that those, not that I didn't have it before, of course, but I think that it's

00:02:03a chance to do something that I think I may be able to help in.

00:02:07I enjoyed playing basketball and I had some definite ideas about it.

00:02:11I'm very opinionated, so don't have to worry about me sitting there on my phone.

00:02:14You're not afraid of being controversial?

00:02:16No, Howard, not at this point.

00:02:18I'm too old to be afraid now.

00:02:21What do you mean by bringing honesty to it?

00:02:23Well, I think that when I see a guy make a mistake, I'll say it's a mistake, because

00:02:29sometimes a guy makes a mistake and the fans won't even know it's a mistake.

00:02:32But also, when I see a guy make a good play that the fans may not necessarily recognize,

00:02:36I'll say that too.

00:02:37I think that what I wanted to bring out are the subtleties of the game.

00:02:42Not only that, but the way you've just expressed it, you're going to bring some journalism

00:02:46to the transmission of the contest.

00:02:48We welcome you aboard.

00:02:49What is that?

00:02:50Journalism to the transmission of the contest, Bill.

00:02:53Oh, that's what I thought you said.

00:02:57Thank you very much, Bill Russell, and we look forward to our opening NBA game with

00:03:01Bill Friday, November 26th, Baltimore at Atlanta, 2 o'clock Eastern Time.

00:03:06Now let's go to our NFL halftime highlight.

00:03:12The old grown-up at Candlestick Park, San Francisco to see the Rams play the 49ers.

00:03:17We're in third quarter action, the score tied 3-3.

00:03:20That's Les Josephson, 34.

00:03:22Watch him, apparently stopped, but not so.

00:03:25Now watch him go, he's out by himself.

00:03:28Skirting for the left sideline, and that's Bruce Taylor coming up on him.

00:03:32Bruce Taylor making the tackle, a 57-yard jaunt for Josephson.

00:03:37Later the Rams missed a field goal, tried Taylor, ran it out, but only to the one.

00:03:41Now the handoff, Brody to Willett, he fumbled.

00:03:43Gene Howard, 21, picks it up, apparently stopped.

00:03:46Wait, did Purnell push him over?

00:03:48Hard to tell.

00:03:49If he did, it was illegal, but the official said no.

00:03:52Touchdown the Rams, lead it 10-3.

00:03:57A happy group of Rams playing opportunistic football.

00:04:00Now it's fourth quarter, they're trailing 13-10, but Larry Smith bursts off left tackle

00:04:05from his own 36.

00:04:07This time nobody's going to catch him.

00:04:09Smith is going all the way for the touchdown.

00:04:11The Rams lead it 17-13.

00:04:14Take command, add a field goal, beat the 49ers 20-13.

00:04:20Tommy Pro Gro wins a big one.

00:04:24Happiness reigns supreme.

00:04:26That's Hank Stram, the colorful, innovative coach of the Kansas City Chiefs at Kansas City.

00:04:30His team about to go against the San Diego Chargers, where in third quarter action the

00:04:36teams tied 10-10.

00:04:37Lenny Dawson hitting his favorite receiver, Otis Taylor, and so the Chiefs go ahead in

00:04:43the third period 17-10.

00:04:46Now, we are in the fourth quarter.

00:04:50A pitch out to Warren McVeigh.

00:04:52As you saw, Warren, the scat back from the University of Houston, moves 15 yards for

00:04:56a touchdown, then slips.

00:04:58A little of the joy out of it.

00:05:00He's embarrassed, but don't take it seriously, Warren.

00:05:03You're ahead 24-10.

00:05:05Only 20 seconds left in the game.

00:05:07The pitch out to Dawson Napotilak out of the University of Iowa.

00:05:10Seven easy yards, touchdown.

00:05:12The Chiefs win it 31-10 over the San Diego Chargers.

00:05:17And, of course, next week, the Chiefs against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.

00:05:261928.

00:05:27General Electric televises the first remote TV broadcast as Al Smith accepts the presidential

00:05:33nomination.

00:05:341971.

00:05:35Where is GE today?

00:05:37After over 40 years, we're right where you'd expect us to be, with as much TV know-how

00:05:42as anyone in the world, with remarkable one-touch color tuning, with the brightest, richest

00:05:47color picture in GE history.

00:05:49At General Electric, we build every television as if we had to use it ourselves.

00:05:56That's me, Errol Parsegian, the guy on top, after one of last season's great Notre Dame

00:06:01wins.

00:06:02Getting to the top is one thing, but staying there proves you're a real champ.

00:06:06And that's as true of wagons as it is of football.

00:06:08Year after year, the Ford wagon team is tops.

00:06:11With all their better ideas, it's easy to see why.

00:06:14Ford's magic door gate lets you call the options, just like a quarterback.

00:06:17So you can drop straight back, or roll out, even with the window up.

00:06:22It's the proven door gate nobody's topped.

00:06:26Ford knows when you've got a winning combination, you stick with it.

00:06:29That's why the newest wagon of the year, the midsize Grand Torino Squire, offers you

00:06:34an instant replay on Ford's winning magic door gate.

00:06:37Down like a tailgate, out like a door, even with the window up.

00:06:42Why do more people get their wagons from Ford dealers than any place else?

00:06:46Because when it comes to wagons, nobody swings like Ford.

00:06:49America's number one wagon.

00:06:51Another better idea from Ford.

00:06:55Soldiers Field, Chicago.

00:06:57Rebuilt, revamped, an attractive place to play.

00:07:00The Bears against the New Orleans Saints.

00:07:03The surprise quarterback of the year, Kent Nix of the Bears.

00:07:07Throwing to Bob Wallace.

00:07:09Mis-tackled. Another mis-tackled.

00:07:12And Mr. Wallace is on the way.

00:07:1418 will not get near him.

00:07:16The Bears lead it 7-0.

00:07:19Now it's second quarter action.

00:07:21The game is tied at 7-7.

00:07:23And it's Mr. Nix again.

00:07:26Dick Gordon, the National Football League's leading receiver a year ago.

00:07:30Another touchdown pass.

00:07:32And the Bears lead it 14-7.

00:07:35Still the second quarter.

00:07:37And watch this handoff.

00:07:39Kent Nix to Don Scheid.

00:07:41Now watch Mr. Scheid.

00:07:43He throws.

00:07:4423 yards to George Farmer.

00:07:47And it's a touchdown.

00:07:48The Bears lead it 21-7.

00:07:51Bears are having an amazing year for a lowly rated team in the preseason estimates.

00:07:56Another handoff.

00:07:57Kent Nix.

00:07:58And it's another touchdown as Don Scheid runs off right tackle.

00:08:0228-7. We're still in the second quarter.

00:08:05Now there are only seconds left in the first half.

00:08:08Tony Baker has the ball for the Saints.

00:08:10Watch closely.

00:08:11Keep watching closely.

00:08:12That's George Seals.

00:08:14Keep watching closely.

00:08:16And watch Mr. Seals.

00:08:18He went in there.

00:08:19He wound up with the football.

00:08:21The Bears score again.

00:08:2335-7.

00:08:25They go on to win the contest 35-14.

00:08:29They have been an enormous surprise this year, especially Mr. Kent Nix.

00:08:3535-14.

00:08:38Well, that's Tiger Stadium, Detroit, Michigan.

00:08:41And the atmosphere is always festive there.

00:08:43How they love the Lions.

00:08:45The Lions are leading 7-0 in the first quarter.

00:08:48That's Greg Landry.

00:08:4926 yards to Steve Owens, the former Heisman Trophy winner from Oklahoma.

00:08:54It's 14-0.

00:08:55The Lions over the Packers.

00:08:59Now the score is 17-0.

00:09:01The Lions.

00:09:02That's Scott Hunter, rookie quarterback from Alabama, for the Packers.

00:09:05On a bootleg around the left side.

00:09:07He picks up 16 yards.

00:09:11We are in the second quarter, remember.

00:09:1317-0.

00:09:14The Lions.

00:09:15Now watch that handoff from Hunter to Donnie Anderson.

00:09:18Donnie, you can run the option pass play beautifully.

00:09:21Clips for the touchdown to the rookie, John Brockington from Ohio State.

00:09:25And so it's 17-7 Lions.

00:09:28We're still in the second quarter.

00:09:30You must watch this play.

00:09:32Greg Landry.

00:09:34Now watch Larry Walton.

00:09:36Lands with inbounds and it's a touchdown.

00:09:39Detroit 24, the Packers 7.

00:09:42These teams put on quite a show.

00:09:44We're in the third quarter.

00:09:45This is Bill Triplett running left.

00:09:47Again, watch closely.

00:09:49Triplett fumbles the football.

00:09:51McCoy picks it up.

00:09:53Big Mike McCoy from Notre Dame.

00:09:56Carries down deep into Detroit territory.

00:10:00Now we're still in the third quarter.

00:10:02And this play you must again watch very closely.

00:10:06Donnie Anderson.

00:10:07Was he over or not?

00:10:09The official says he was over.

00:10:12The official says the score is 24-14.

00:10:16But the Lions don't believe it.

00:10:18The defensive captain, middle linebacker Mike Lucci, 53, is in a rage.

00:10:23Teammates have to hold him back.

00:10:24You saw the marker go down.

00:10:26Personal foul.

00:10:27Unsportsmanlike conduct, rather.

00:10:30And look at Lucci.

00:10:32Ha!

00:10:33Don't complain too much, Mike.

00:10:35It's not going to help.

00:10:37The score stands and Lucci is a defeater.

00:10:40But we continue with the action.

00:10:43Greg Lander in the third quarter.

00:10:46He is again looking for Larry Walton.

00:10:50Larry Walton is absolutely unattended.

00:10:54Walton takes the football.

00:11:00Mis-tackled by Ellis.

00:11:02Another mis-tackle by Willie Wood.

00:11:07Still perhaps another mis-tackle.

00:11:11Now watch this.

00:11:12Well, maybe not a mis-tackle.

00:11:15But a tackle that perhaps could have been executed.

00:11:18And that.

00:11:19There, there was help from a blocker, as you saw.

00:11:22So it's a 60-yard play.

00:11:24A touchdown for Larry Walton.

00:11:26The Lions lead it 31-14.

00:11:29Now we're in the final quarter.

00:11:31A minute left.

00:11:32The score is 31-21.

00:11:34The ancient one, Zeke Bradkowski.

00:11:36Hits Rich McGeorge, the tight end from Elon.

00:11:39And so the final score, Lions 31, Packers 28.

00:11:46And we'll remind you, we have a rematch of that game.

00:11:49The Lions and the Packers coming up November the 1st from Milwaukee.

00:11:52And here at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas.

00:11:54The Cowboys out in front of the New York Giants 13-6.

00:11:57And NFL Monday Night Football is being brought to you by Ford,

00:12:00who invites you to see all the 72 better ideas at your Ford dealers.

00:12:04By the two-bladed razor, Gillette introduces the world's first razor

00:12:08with two separate blades.

00:12:10The new Gillette Track 2 twin-bladed cartridge shaving system.

00:12:14And by Sears Tire and Auto Centers, where you'll find diehard batteries

00:12:18and a complete line of quality tires.

00:12:20And we'll be ready for the second half kickoff between the Giants

00:12:23and the Cowboys after this word from our local station.

00:12:27Longstreet tries to break a conspiracy of silence Thursday night on ABC.

00:12:34.

00:12:54Back at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas.

00:12:56We're about to get the second half underway.

00:12:58The Dallas Cowboys out in front of the Giants again 13-6.

00:13:02Pete Gogolak was kicked two field goals for the Giants.

00:13:07Little kick to Cliff Harris, 43, and Dwayne Thomas, number 33.

00:13:14From the hash mark.

00:13:20Dwayne Thomas.

00:13:22And he can move. Just activated this week.

00:13:26Cliff Harris will field it in the end zone. He'll run it out.

00:13:32Harris over the 15 to the 18 yard line.

00:13:3674 roller is there. Joe Green, 33, is there.

00:13:41Very quickly, John, were you happy with the way your team played in the first half?

00:13:45I don't think they played as well as they're capable.

00:13:48I think they're not going to change much from what they did last week.

00:13:52We've got a new quarterback in the second half.

00:13:54Yep, a deviation.

00:13:55So it looks like they're going to change a little bit.

00:13:57He was welcomed with a simmering round of boos.

00:14:02You know something about that.

00:14:05We'll call it a mixed greeting for Craig Morton.

00:14:07First from 10, from the 18, Calvin Hill.

00:14:11Calvin Hill breaking tackles, moving over to the 27 yard line.

00:14:15One of the things that's always interesting to me,

00:14:17watching any quarterback, is how does he call the game?

00:14:20Coach Landry has indicated before this contest he wanted his Cowboys to run.

00:14:24He leaves the play calling primarily up to the quarterback that's in.

00:14:27So we'll see how much, if any, Craig's play calling affects this contest.

00:14:32His setbacks are Walt Garrison, 32, Calvin Hill, 35.

00:14:35Bob Hayes is a split end, 22.

00:14:37Billy Turek's a tight end, 87.

00:14:39Lance Allworth, the flanker.

00:14:42On second and short yardage, make it a yard.

00:14:44From the 27 yard line, the Cowboys own 27.

00:14:49Calvin Hill.

00:14:50Calvin Hill.

00:14:52Yardage for the first down, over the 30 to the 32.

00:14:55Ralph, at 55, is there.

00:14:57This is the thing we thought Dallas would be able to do going into this contest.

00:15:01Not to degrade New York's defense, but Dallas is a strong running team.

00:15:06They led the league last year in running.

00:15:09They have been fairly successful this year in running,

00:15:11but not as much as they were last year.

00:15:14Coach Landry has emphasized his need to get back to last year's fashion in the running game.

00:15:18First and 10 for the Cowboys, the ball on their own 32 yard line.

00:15:21Craig Morton with his first pass.

00:15:24And he'll scramble.

00:15:28Morton picking up about 5 yards.

00:15:32Well, it's just stupid for anybody to boo a quarterback for doing that,

00:15:35because that's exactly what he's coached to do.

00:15:37That's what he should do.

00:15:38If he's got any sense at all, he'll do it every chance he gets.

00:15:40That's right.

00:15:41Why risk injury?

00:15:42Morton has been injury prone anyway.

00:15:44There's Craig's statistic.

00:15:45In 1970, he was fifth in the National Football Conference in passing,

00:15:50and, Don, you're exactly right.

00:15:52Quickly, Frank, were you happy with the way your former team performed in the first half?

00:15:55I was.

00:15:56Considering Ron Johnson is not here, Tucker Fredrickson is not here,

00:15:59they have lost much of their offense.

00:16:01They fought well defensively.

00:16:03They trailed 13 to 6 through.

00:16:05We watched Calvin Hill on 2nd and 5 behind Ralph Neely.

00:16:07A great block by Ralph Neely.

00:16:09A great block by Lance Allworth, too.

00:16:12He really did a super job.

00:16:13You're right.

00:16:14And, you know, Don, Calvin Hill has shaken up,

00:16:18and he's holding his right knee.

00:16:20The knee.

00:16:23Calvin, as most people know, has been plagued with a few injuries himself.

00:16:26This one looks to be fairly serious.

00:16:29Great shot of it there.

00:16:30It is his knee.

00:16:31You know, Don, we spent much of the time last year

00:16:34talking about the abundant number of injuries

00:16:38in football and ascribed at least some of them from time to time

00:16:41to the absence of training a year ago.

00:16:43Let's take another look at the run,

00:16:45and we'll get back to the injury point later.

00:16:48You'll see a quick pitch to Calvin Hill, number 35.

00:16:50Ralph Neely is 73 out leading this.

00:16:53Dwayne Thomas cut back in and cut out Freddie Dreyer.

00:16:57You didn't see Allworth's block, but his was super as he came in.

00:17:00This is Spire Lockhart that's coming in to hit.

00:17:03You know, let's see.

00:17:04That's a heck of a lick right there.

00:17:06He's a good tackler.

00:17:07If that's where he hurt it,

00:17:08that's very similar to the way Danny Reeves tore his knee up

00:17:11in St. Louis a few years ago.

00:17:15So with timeout, the score, the Dallas Cowboys, 13,

00:17:18the New York Giants, 6.

00:17:23Every day is moving day at North American Van Lines,

00:17:27and to make sure every move goes smoothly,

00:17:29their trucks use STP oil treatment.

00:17:31These trucks have to haul tremendous loads under all conditions.

00:17:34Through cross-town traffic, cross-country miles,

00:17:3724 hours a day, 365 days a year.

00:17:40Through it all, STP helps keep them running smoother,

00:17:43cooler, quieter, longer in all kinds of weather.

00:17:46Try STP oil treatment in your family car and run razor sharp.

00:17:55Flair writes with absolute silence, total smoothness.

00:18:00Flair's rich, vivid line can be fine or bold at your discretion.

00:18:06Flair has a smooth, tough nylon point that stays sharp.

00:18:10Flair won't dry out because the cap seals with a distinctive click.

00:18:18Flair, the new way to write, now in dramatic colours.

00:18:23Flair.

00:18:28Calvin Hill limping off the field,

00:18:31we suspect favouring his right knee after being upset on the sidelines,

00:18:35picking up yardage for a first down for the Cowboys.

00:18:38Danny Reeves, the player coach, has come in at one setback.

00:18:41Duane Thomas is the other setback, first and 10 for the Cowboys.

00:18:44They're on their own 47-yard line.

00:18:46Lance Allwood, motion right.

00:18:49Duane Thomas.

00:18:52Well, Duane Thomas is back.

00:18:57To see him run with that ball and listen to this crowd respond to it

00:19:01was quite spine-tingling, I would say,

00:19:03because he did duck to the outside real well.

00:19:06Number 33, Duane Thomas, got good block by Reeves, 30.

00:19:09And the fellow does have some unusual ability.

00:19:12He can really run with that football.

00:19:14Immediate acceleration.

00:19:16Exciting player to watch the statistics of a year ago

00:19:19speak for themselves.

00:19:21The average is what's really impressive to me.

00:19:23On 151 attempts, he averaged 5.3.

00:19:27Another first down for the Cowboys.

00:19:29They're on the Giants 42.

00:19:31Duane Thomas again.

00:19:33And he's something else.

00:19:35To the 34-yard line goes Duane Thomas.

00:19:37Oh, is this crowd alive.

00:19:39They've wanted Duane back all along, and they are really alive.

00:19:43I really don't believe they did in the beginning, Howard,

00:19:47because the crowd, the people here in Dallas were very negative for Duane.

00:19:51He came out and spoke very bluntly about some of the things he didn't like,

00:19:55a lot of other things that we don't know about.

00:19:57But the general feeling was that Duane got what was coming to him,

00:20:01and that was he's not going to play football.

00:20:03It's amazing how these things can be forgotten

00:20:05when he runs two times and carries 20 yards.

00:20:09Pickup of 8 yards for Duane Thomas.

00:20:11The play fake, Morton going to Danny Reeves.

00:20:15Reeves can't hold on to the football.

00:20:17Tim Files there, number 58, along with Willie Williams,

00:20:20but Reeves just dropped the football.

00:20:26Craig Morton.

00:20:28I imagine they'll get on their coach about dropping that one.

00:20:30There's Alex Webster.

00:20:31He's saying, what's going on out there?

00:20:34What he's saying is Dallas beginning to play up to its potential,

00:20:38taking the run mainly,

00:20:40and then the occasional pass just to mix things up.

00:20:44Third down and four.

00:20:45Both these teams battling to stay at least one game

00:20:48behind the Washington Redskins.

00:20:50The Washington Redskins undefeated in the NFC's Eastern Division.

00:20:55Number 40 on third and four.

00:21:00Ralph Heck defending against Danny Reeves.

00:21:02Nolan Lakes came in there pretty well.

00:21:04Then Frank, I don't know whether it was a missed assignment or what it was.

00:21:07Could be a quick screen out to the flat,

00:21:09but no one blocked Nolan Lakes, number 76.

00:21:12That's true, and excellent coverage by 55.

00:21:14Ralph Heck on the screen.

00:21:17Nolan Lakes, who came to the Giants from San Francisco,

00:21:20a good one, an 11-year veteran,

00:21:22as Mike Clark comes onto the field for the Cowboys.

00:21:26Cowboys out in front of the Giants, 13 to 6,

00:21:2912 minutes remain in the third period.

00:21:32This kick from 41 yards out.

00:21:35He has already hit on 42 yards and 41 yards.

00:21:42Rocky Thompson will run it.

00:21:47Thompson out to the 17-yard line.

00:21:51Make it the 18.

00:21:52Rocky Thompson coming out of the end zone.

00:21:54And with timeout, the score is Dallas 13, the New York Giants 6.

00:22:01At the Bondurant Driving School in Ontario, California,

00:22:04we teach professionals how to handle a car in an emergency.

00:22:07And it's rough on tires.

00:22:09So we brought our long mileage tire here to prove how tough it is.

00:22:13Sears Silent Guard Dynaglass.

00:22:15Braced with two fiberglass belts and four tough body plies

00:22:19to take anything this course can throw at them.

00:22:21We've driven tires like these over 40,000 highway miles.

00:22:24The mileage you get depends on how you drive.

00:22:26Dynaglass tires, only at Sears.

00:22:30The battery in this car is virtually brand new.

00:22:33The battery in this car is two years old.

00:22:37Now, after the lights have been on for almost four hours,

00:22:41now let's see which car starts.

00:22:45The one with the two-year-old battery.

00:22:47A two-year-old Sears Die Hard.

00:22:50A Die Hard with extra power to start your car when most batteries won't.

00:22:56Sold only at Sears.

00:23:00Back at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas.

00:23:02We'll tell you as quickly as we can that Calvin Hill

00:23:05apparently is not seriously injured.

00:23:07He had a hyperextension of the right knee.

00:23:09We have been informed he may or may not return to the game.

00:23:12Walt Garrison, who's also out of the lineup, is not injured.

00:23:17The Giants take over first and ten.

00:23:18They're on their own 18-yard line.

00:23:20Fran Tarkenton, quarterbacking all the way,

00:23:22puts Rich Houston to the right, McNeil to the left.

00:23:30Duhan in motion.

00:23:32Tarkenton on the sprint out.

00:23:35Tucker can't hold on to it.

00:23:38Bob Tucker drops the ball.

00:23:45And we now pause five seconds for local station identification.

00:23:50Bob Tucker coming back to the Giants' huddle.

00:23:52It'll be second and ten.

00:23:54Fran Tarkenton, as Bobby Duhan and Joe Morrison, as setbacks.

00:23:57Tarkenton, 11 for 18, but only 61 yards, or rather 102 yards.

00:24:03102 yards.

00:24:04Had one drop that possibly could have been a touchdown.

00:24:09One second down from the Giants' 18.

00:24:13Here's McNeil.

00:24:18Pickup of about seven yards.

00:24:21Herb Adderley there to make the stop.

00:24:23Defensively, the Cowboys remain the same.

00:24:25Adderley at the left corner, back 26.

00:24:27Cornell greens, the tight safety.

00:24:28Cliff Harris, the free safety, number 43.

00:24:30Mel Lowe, the free safety, number 43.

00:24:32And the Giants' 18-yard line.

00:24:34The Giants' 18-yard line.

00:24:36And the Giants' 18-yard line.

00:24:38And the Giants' 18-yard line.

00:24:40Harris, the free safety, number 43.

00:24:42Mel Renfro, the right cornerback.

00:24:44Chuck Howley, Leroy Jordan, Dave Edwards, the linebackers.

00:24:47Howley, always the weak side linebacker.

00:24:50Lillian Puer, the tackles.

00:24:51Larry Cole and George Andre are the defensive ends.

00:24:56Bob Tucker now with three catches for 34 yards, as we look at Herb Adderley.

00:25:01Tarkenton has already thrown on third down and two.

00:25:04He comes out with the stacked eye.

00:25:07Houston, motion to his left.

00:25:10Goes to Houston.

00:25:12And moving up quickly with Mel Renfro.

00:25:15And I believe Tarkenton deliberately drilled that in the ground.

00:25:23That will bring up fourth down.

00:25:26Tom Blanchard will come on for the Giants.

00:25:29Charlie Waters and Cliff Harris will drop deep for the Cowboys.

00:25:33A little over ten minutes remain to be played in the third period here in Dallas.

00:25:37The Cowboys in front, 13 to 6.

00:25:40Tom Blanchard.

00:25:42Coming into the game with a 39.7 putting average.

00:25:46Has averaged 43 this evening.

00:25:50Harris.

00:25:54Joe Green drops Harris just over the 40-yard line at the 41.

00:26:00All right, let's take another look at Dallas on the offense.

00:26:02They appeared to be making their move just a couple of moments ago.

00:26:05But once again, the Giants put it together on defense and blocked them off.

00:26:10So I assume that you're even happier about that, Frank.

00:26:14I think they're doing fine, considering the problems they've had.

00:26:16Not a question.

00:26:17The player coach is in the ballgame with Craig Morton when he came in.

00:26:21They took out Walt Garrison.

00:26:22Is there a reason for that?

00:26:23Is he in there to help Craig Morton?

00:26:24No, the only thing I can think of, Frank, is they intended to play Dwayne Thomas at fullback tonight.

00:26:29This was their intentions before the game.

00:26:32So I just assumed Dan, there he is on his play pass.

00:26:34Wow.

00:26:36Lockhart picks it off.

00:26:42Lockhart returning the interception to the 43-yard line.

00:26:46Danny Reeves, the player coach whom we were talking about just a moment ago,

00:26:50had his option pass picked off.

00:26:53Well, we just saw Dallas on offense.

00:26:56Have a look at the Giants.

00:26:57Look at the Giants.

00:27:02You see at the end zone, this is a play-action pass,

00:27:04the same thing that Danny Reeves threw in the Green Bay Championship game in 1967 for a touchdown.

00:27:10He was hit just as he threw that one.

00:27:13Got penetration from the Giants defense, and it was picked off.

00:27:18First and 10 for the Giants from their own 43-and-a-half-yard line.

00:27:23Duhan coming in motion.

00:27:28Willie Young with a good block for Franz Harkenten.

00:27:31Harkenten looking for a receiver.

00:27:34The crowd wants that call intentionally grounding, but no soap.

00:27:39You know, this year such a call is utterly discretionary with the officials,

00:27:43and they presumably are prone to call it much more this year than in past years,

00:27:48where the basic judgment was, is there a receiver somewhere within the area.

00:27:53I believe that pass fairly thrown in the general direction of Bob Tucker.

00:27:57Of course, the partisan crowd didn't like it.

00:28:00Yeah, it's hard.

00:28:02Well, anyway.

00:28:03I'm trying not to be partisan.

00:28:04Well, no, I think that's true.

00:28:08Do it where you can.

00:28:11A lot of them look like they're thrown away.

00:28:13On second down, the Giants with the football in their own 43-and-a-half-yard line.

00:28:17Houston again in motion.

00:28:19Duhan with the ball.

00:28:22Up over the 45 to about the 47.

00:28:26Leroy Jordan meets Bobby Duhan.

00:28:33Leroy's the one that also calls the defensive signals or audibles.

00:28:36Playing off the first block.

00:28:38Number 55 gets up.

00:28:40Does make the tackle on Duhan.

00:28:42Jordan, I think, is a great middle linebacker.

00:28:45He's most instrumental in the coordination that he achieves by knowing it.

00:28:49There's Coach Landry talking to Craig Martin on the side.

00:28:53They're trying to conjure up some offense.

00:28:57Third and seven.

00:29:01Harkinson gets away from Cole.

00:29:05Fires to Tucker.

00:29:09Bob Tucker at the Dallas Cowboys 42-yard line.

00:29:13Cornell Green for the tackle.

00:29:15Good enough for the first down.

00:29:17Fran is unbelievable the way he can't throw just going full speed.

00:29:21He can zip that thing in there.

00:29:22He's done it for a long time, and I don't think anyone would question the fact that he can do it really better than anybody else.

00:29:27Incredible, as you would describe it.

00:29:30Not only does he retain command of the downfield, Don, but in your words, superb peripheral vision.

00:29:36That's something close to what I would probably say.

00:29:39Of course, I have never said that, but that's close to what I could probably say.

00:29:43119 yards on 13 completions.

00:29:45First down for the Diaspora on the Cowboys 42-yard line.

00:29:48This is Bobby Duhan.

00:29:50Duhan tripped up by Jethro Pugh, big number 75.

00:29:54And notice Pat Toomey is in there, number 67, who's replaced George Andre, who usually is in that position.

00:29:59I don't know whether Andre has been injured or whether they're just playing him or not.

00:30:05George Andre kneeling on the sidelines, Don.

00:30:07He is fine.

00:30:09Pickup of about a yard and a half for...

00:30:14At what juncture tonight, Don, will you proclaim it an important series of downs?

00:30:18There's Pat Toomey, by the way.

00:30:20Right after you've done it a couple, two or three times, I guess.

00:30:24Just follow your lead, coach.

00:30:25Second down and nine.

00:30:31Harkenton for McNeil.

00:30:33Very good throw.

00:30:35Great route by McNeil.

00:30:36They had...

00:30:38Had him turn around pretty good and Harkenton did get hit.

00:30:41Let's see it again.

00:30:42Clip to McNeil, number 18, on a sideline pattern.

00:30:45Let's see what he does to Herb to get him to turn.

00:30:48That little stutter step right there was a good move, like he's going to go deep.

00:30:53Got to that sideline, waited a little bit, the ball was there, and just stepped right up.

00:30:58Here's the fast rush on that same play.

00:31:00Pat Toomey, number 67.

00:31:02Bob Lilley, 74.

00:31:04Bob Lilley, 74.

00:31:06And Toomey is the one that gets in there.

00:31:09Came around the waist, I don't imagine it hurts that much.

00:31:11I'll tell you, Harkenton's durability is amazing.

00:31:16Bill Gregory has come in for a jet throw cue in the Cowboys' front four.

00:31:21He's number 77, probably, for a fast rush on third and nine.

00:31:28Duhan!

00:31:30Inside the 20-yard line is Bobby Duhan.

00:31:33Circled there by Cliff Harris.

00:31:37Bobby Duhan circling out of the backfield.

00:31:40And Harkenton right on target.

00:31:42The Cowboys have been playing what they call a 40 defense,

00:31:45which means the middle linebacker usually goes to the strong side, where the wing is set.

00:31:50Circling both backs out of the backfield, you'll see him come to the strong side.

00:31:53There's Calvin Hill, number 35, coming back, so obviously he is OK.

00:31:56Looks like he's had some tape on his knee.

00:31:59That's good news for the Cowboys.

00:32:01As I was saying, the middle linebacker does go to the strong side.

00:32:04Duhan came out, he was man-to-man on Howley, got to the inside, and Francis hit him.

00:32:10The Giants with another first down. They're on the 16-yard line of the Cowboys.

00:32:14Gregory is out, jet throw cue is back in for the Cowboys.

00:32:17Houston in motion right, again Duhan.

00:32:19Big hole!

00:32:21Duhan hit at the 10-yard line.

00:32:25Chuck Howley, 54, on the tackle.

00:32:28First minutes, 30 seconds remain in the third period.

00:32:31Seven carries for Bobby Duhan, 23 yards.

00:32:35It seems to me, Frank, that they're running mainly in the middle, and they're doing a good job.

00:32:40The two guards for the Giants, Bob Holland and Van Horn, along with Larson,

00:32:44must be doing some damage up there to Lillie Pugh and Leroy Jordan,

00:32:49because most of their plays either originate in the middle or wind up in the middle off some sort of a draw.

00:32:58Stacked eye on the left side.

00:33:00In motion is Rich Houston, on second down and three.

00:33:03Morrison is hit hard, and he really is hit hard by Leroy Jordan.

00:33:06He fumbles the football.

00:33:07Dave Edwards has got it.

00:33:11Leroy Jordan really popped Joe Morrison.

00:33:16Out came the football. Dave Edwards recovers, I believe, our seventh fumble of the evening.

00:33:21That's exactly right, and the Giants have lost three fumbles.

00:33:26Give an assist to Dave Edwards to Leroy Jordan.

00:33:30All right, we'll take a look at it again.

00:33:31Joe Morrison's coming in. You'll see Dave Edwards from the outside.

00:33:34That ball's going to pop right out in front of him.

00:33:36There it is. He reaches down, picks it up.

00:33:38Starts to slay down, and Tarkington, very alert, he says,

00:33:41Wait a minute, he can run.

00:33:42Can you imagine Fran Tarkington trying to tackle Dave Edwards?

00:33:47He did, with some help.

00:33:49First and ten for the Cowboys. They're on their own 17-yard line.

00:33:52Dwayne Thomas.

00:33:53Ralph Neely out in front.

00:33:56Thomas moves over the 25 to the 27.

00:34:00Latest word on Calvin Hill, Frank, is that he had a slightly sprained knee.

00:34:04It's been wrapped. You saw him return to the field just a few seconds ago,

00:34:08and we expect that he'll be seeing action.

00:34:11There's Dwayne Thomas on the rerun of the play just witnessed,

00:34:15and the balance of Dwayne Thomas, not lost by the long layoff, manifests itself.

00:34:21Look at that.

00:34:22Yes, sir, he's learned his lessons from Meredith.

00:34:27I believe it was Tom Landry who said last year,

00:34:29This man has the potential to become another Tim Brown and Gail Sayers wrapped into one.

00:34:349.6 feet.

00:34:36Here he is again.

00:34:39Very close to the first down is Dwayne Thomas.

00:34:44He needed to reach the 27.

00:34:51Dwayne Thomas picks up the first down.

00:34:55Tim Files is constantly improving as a middle linebacker.

00:34:58Frank, we saw him in a couple of games last year,

00:35:01and he was new, or fairly new to that position.

00:35:03Made some mistakes.

00:35:04He seems to be more in the area this year.

00:35:06He's doing a good job.

00:35:07He was in on that last tackle.

00:35:09He's been in on a lot of them for the Giants this year.

00:35:11Number 58.

00:35:14On first and 10, the Cowboys on the run.

00:35:18On first and 10, the Cowboys operating from their own 27.

00:35:21Danny Reeves.

00:35:22Nye out in front, 61.

00:35:24Nye with a good block.

00:35:25Reeves moving over the 40 to the 47 yard line.

00:35:29John Douglas moving over for the tackle.

00:35:32You know, you watch this team far and on on the ground.

00:35:36You know how great that offensive line is,

00:35:38with the Johnny Nylons, the Blaine Nyes, and all the rest.

00:35:41The Ralph Neelys.

00:35:43And you wonder why they ever turn to the Aaron.

00:35:45Why they've been doing it all game long, Don.

00:35:47You've made the point repeatedly that the original game plan

00:35:50was stay on the ground.

00:35:51Why the variation?

00:35:53Well, that's a good question, Howard.

00:35:57I don't really know.

00:35:58I think that's the quarterback's decision.

00:35:59As we did mention, they're great runners.

00:36:01But I do think you have to put the ball in the air some too.

00:36:06Cowboys with first and 10.

00:36:07They have the ball in their own 46 yard line.

00:36:09Flags are up.

00:36:11The Giants appear to move offside.

00:36:13I hope Ted Forty moves that graphic up again,

00:36:16because it points up what I did say,

00:36:18the Cowboys' power in rushing.

00:36:21There it is.

00:36:22With the tackle.

00:36:23There it is, Frank.

00:36:24522 rushes a year ago.

00:36:262,300 yards this period.

00:36:28Dallas in nine rushes has made 81 yards,

00:36:32a nine yard average per rush.

00:36:34I'll tell you.

00:36:35They didn't give Meredith that kind of offensive help

00:36:38when he was quarterbacking.

00:36:40I didn't have you to help me then either, Howard.

00:36:44And you saw the penalty against the Giants.

00:36:46Five yards.

00:36:47Down remains the same.

00:36:48First and five.

00:36:49Cowboys now inside Giants territory.

00:36:51That's the Giants' 49 yard line.

00:36:53Lance Alwes, motion left.

00:36:57Martin.

00:36:58Looking deep for Bob Hayes.

00:37:01And that's going to be a pass.

00:37:04That's one reason why you want to put up in the air every now and then.

00:37:07That's right.

00:37:08But only after you've laid the foundation.

00:37:10Absolutely right, Howard.

00:37:11That was a great throw.

00:37:13Between Athis and Joe Green.

00:37:16The completion.

00:37:18Right on target.

00:37:21Bob Hayes.

00:37:24He is really something special.

00:37:25It really is good to have somebody like that on your side, man,

00:37:28because he can really get open.

00:37:29Here it is again.

00:37:30Craig sets back throws.

00:37:32And Bobby, you know, it's just there's not anybody really can keep up with him.

00:37:35It's not a discredit to anybody on defense.

00:37:38You get him man to man.

00:37:39He's caught four passes tonight for an even hundred yards.

00:37:43This sure is good to have him on your side.

00:37:46All right.

00:37:47By Clark with the conversion attempt, it's good.

00:37:54Here's a good block here by Blaine Nile on that pass a while ago.

00:37:58Craig does have plenty of time.

00:38:00Blaine Nile is really one of the truly great young guards in the league from Stanford.

00:38:04Very bright guy.

00:38:05Working on his master's degree.

00:38:06May have got it last year, in fact.

00:38:08There's Turkey Lurkey himself.

00:38:09Rapid Robert.

00:38:10An NFL Monday Night Football, the New York Giants versus the Dallas Cowboys

00:38:14continues from the Cotton Bowl with the score.

00:38:16The Cowboys 20, the Giants 6.

00:38:23What would you say if some college kids asked to borrow your car for 100,000 miles?

00:38:28We said yes to the auto tech class at Chafee College, California.

00:38:32And they drove a Ford Pinto with optional two liter engine and disc brakes

00:38:36night and day for 100,000 miles.

00:38:39They did their own servicing and repairs and formed their own opinions.

00:38:43The Pinto's rack and pinion steering is really solid.

00:38:47There's hardly any body roll at all in the car.

00:38:50I'm really surprised that the car, this light, has the response that it does.

00:38:53It really accelerates.

00:38:54It's really a lot of fun to drive.

00:38:55It's really a tight car.

00:38:57The brakes were very good considering all the mileage

00:38:59and no maintenance was ever performed on them.

00:39:02It's got real tight steering and handles easy on turns.

00:39:05The Pinto has real good acceleration, and it keeps up with everything else on the road.

00:39:11You won't need 100,000 miles to know Pinto's different where it counts.

00:39:15Once around the block, we'll show you.

00:39:17Test drive of Pinto at your Ford dealers.

00:39:23That's the situation with 3 minutes and 40 seconds remaining

00:39:26in the third period from Dallas, Texas.

00:39:29The Cowboys out in front of the Giants.

00:39:31Mike Clark put the ball in the air.

00:39:34Deep is Rocky Thompson.

00:39:40Thompson upended at about the 24-yard line,

00:39:44running into Dwayne Thomas,

00:39:47and I believe that's the third tackle that Dwayne Thomas has made.

00:39:50This guy does want to play some football, doesn't he?

00:39:52Dwayne Thomas.

00:39:54Dwayne Thomas,

00:39:56and number 43, Cliff Harris.

00:40:01The Giants take over at 1st and 10.

00:40:03They have the ball on their own 25-and-a-half-yard line.

00:40:08Out to the left comes McNeil.

00:40:10Giants in the stackeye.

00:40:12This is Rich Houston, motion left.

00:40:15And this is Bobby Duhan.

00:40:17Joe Morrison with the block.

00:40:18Duhan with the tackle.

00:40:20And this is Bobby Duhan.

00:40:22Joe Morrison with the block.

00:40:23Duhan to the 30-yard line, hit hard by number 55, Leroy Jordan.

00:40:27Out of Excel, Alabama.

00:40:30Boy, he's some football player.

00:40:31They got him listed at 220,

00:40:33and, Don, I know he plays many times at 210.

00:40:36That was my old roommate.

00:40:38Yeah, he stretches to get to 220.

00:40:40But he takes everything he's got and throws it at them.

00:40:43He sure does a good job.

00:40:45Pickup of 5 yards for Duhan.

00:40:46And those linebackers for the Cowboys.

00:40:48Howley is 35 years old.

00:40:49Jordan is 30.

00:40:50Dave Edwards is 32.

00:40:52And they're really active.

00:40:54From the 30-yard line.

00:41:03Duhan again out of the backfield.

00:41:05Charlie Waters makes the stop.

00:41:09Duhan circling around, pulling up.

00:41:13Charlie Waters has come in at free safety for the Cowboys.

00:41:20First down for the Giants.

00:41:22The ball on the 45-yard line.

00:41:24You know, this Saturday on ABC NCAA football,

00:41:27the Longhorns of Texas take on the Razorbacks of Arkansas

00:41:30in Little Rock, Arkansas.

00:41:32That's Saturday at 4 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time here on ABC.

00:41:36Houston in motion left.

00:41:39Duhan again, offended at the 45.

00:41:42Just about getting back to the line of scrimmage.

00:41:50Fine blocking.

00:41:52We're out tonight by this Giant offensive line.

00:41:54Greg Larson, the center, 53.

00:41:56We'll look now at Leroy Jordan.

00:41:59Well, we pointed out Leroy a while ago.

00:42:00Made a good tackle.

00:42:01We'll take another look at him here in slow motion.

00:42:03You'll see Pugh shift a little bit.

00:42:06All this is done.

00:42:07These audible calls were called by Leroy

00:42:09from his middle linebacker position.

00:42:11That's his seventh tackle tonight.

00:42:13And he has four assists on top of that.

00:42:15Second down and 10.

00:42:17Operating from their own 45.

00:42:18The Giants put both wide receivers to the right.

00:42:20Duhan now comes in motion.

00:42:23Parkinson.

00:42:25Offended by Jethro Pugh.

00:42:28Big Jethro Pugh.

00:42:29All 6'6", 270 pounds of him.

00:42:32They had a big headline in the paper

00:42:34when Jethro was a rookie.

00:42:35They said, what is a Jethro Pugh?

00:42:37And through his fine years playing for the Dallas Cowboys,

00:42:40I think certainly everybody in this area

00:42:42knows what a Jethro Pugh is.

00:42:43He's one of the very finest defensive tackles in football.

00:42:46You know, I think we're starting to see something

00:42:48that happens quite frequently.

00:42:49We saw Oakland do it last week.

00:42:50We've seen San Francisco do it.

00:42:52Fresh defensive linemen.

00:42:53As Pugh comes out, Bill Gregory, 77, comes in.

00:42:56Pat Toomey has also come in to replace George Andre.

00:42:59We're seeing more and more of that in pro football.

00:43:02Mature passing situation.

00:43:04Third down and 18.

00:43:05The Giants on their own 37.

00:43:09Parkinson going deep and is over the head,

00:43:12way over the head of Bobby Duhan.

00:43:15Well, the fans are having a ball now.

00:43:17That team is playing the way it can.

00:43:2268,000 here in the Cotton Bowl this evening.

00:43:25Cowboys and the Giants both trying to stay one game

00:43:29behind the Washington Redskins.

00:43:31Bob Hayes now has dropped deep to receive

00:43:34the punt of Tom Blanchett of the Giants.

00:43:36Bob Hayes along with Charlie Waters.

00:43:38And Bob Hayes will put up a little period

00:43:42Bob Hayes will put up a little fear in the heart.

00:43:53Bob Hayes at the 15.

00:43:57Watch out.

00:44:02Could not stay inbound.

00:44:03Bob Hayes out of bounds at the 22-yard line.

00:44:07Joe Green there.

00:44:12All right.

00:44:13I think this is another good move by Bobby.

00:44:15They were trying to set up the return over to the left.

00:44:17Just not going to make it.

00:44:18He does have the speed to do something like this.

00:44:20A lot of times you'll see guys caught back here,

00:44:22but he's just reversing his field.

00:44:24Totally on his own decision.

00:44:26Again, I think it's another good decision.

00:44:28Bobby's not the biggest guy in the world.

00:44:29He knows his biggest asset at this club is stay healthy.

00:44:34He's trying to tightrope that thing down there.

00:44:36He did step out of bounds.

00:44:37Maybe he realized that.

00:44:39Anyway, he didn't run into him.

00:44:40He stepped on out of bounds.

00:44:42First and 10 for the Cowboys.

00:44:44They're operating from their 22.

00:44:46Dan Reeves.

00:44:47Dwayne Thomas to setback.

00:44:52Dan Reeves.

00:44:53Rayfield right out in front.

00:44:55Reeves up over the 30 to the 32-yard line.

00:44:59Roy and Ralph Neely, 73 and 70.

00:45:02Rayfield right.

00:45:03When they go with those quick tosses,

00:45:04they really lumber out of that line.

00:45:07Some offensive line.

00:45:08Really, I think their offensive line done

00:45:10and perhaps Oakland's.

00:45:12We're running out the quarter, by the way, Frank.

00:45:14Just one second to go and that's it.

00:45:18I really think they and Oakland

00:45:19have the top offensive lines around.

00:45:22Could well be.

00:45:23And that's the end of the third quarter with the score.

00:45:26Dallas Cowboys 20, the Giants 6.

00:45:28And we'll return after this word from our local station.

00:45:32Tony Curtis and Roger Morristar

00:45:34as The Persuaders, Saturday night on ABC.

00:45:39♪♪

00:45:50I'm Willie Wood of the Green Bay Packers.

00:45:52That's the way I like to crack down in action.

00:45:55I like to rack up this drug traffic too.

00:45:58♪♪

00:46:10Monday night football from Dallas, Texas.

00:46:12The Cotton Bowl.

00:46:13The Cowboys out in front of the Giants 20 to 6.

00:46:16Cowboys with the football.

00:46:17They have second down and one yard to go.

00:46:19They're operating from their own 32.

00:46:21Greg Morton going all the way in the second half.

00:46:25Roger Staubach with the entire first half.

00:46:28Dwayne Thomas.

00:46:31Dwayne Thomas upended by Joe Green.

00:46:33The Giants tight safety.

00:46:39Pickup of about four yards.

00:46:40Good enough for the first down.

00:46:43Those are our statistics for the three quarters.

00:46:47And we look down from our Goodyear blimp.

00:46:50Captain Don Holtzman.

00:46:53Piloting our craft.

00:46:55I've got it.

00:46:59First and 10 for the Cowboys.

00:47:00A quick toss is to Reeves.

00:47:02Oh, beautiful play there by Douglas.

00:47:06Number 51 moving over from his linebacking position.

00:47:09Drops Reeves for a four yard loss.

00:47:11You have no way of knowing for sure.

00:47:12But Douglas was with Dallas.

00:47:14And that appeared to be an audible from here.

00:47:16He could have read that audible.

00:47:17And he moved from his inside position just at the snap of the ball

00:47:20to go out and stop the quick pitch to the outside.

00:47:24And into the Giants defensive unit on second and long yardage.

00:47:27The passing situation.

00:47:28Come to fresh linemen.

00:47:29Dave Roller, 74.

00:47:31And number 80, Henry Reeves.

00:47:32Roller tackled.

00:47:33Reeves defensive end.

00:47:34And the Giants have the lead.

00:47:36The Giants have the lead.

00:47:38Henry Reeves.

00:47:39Roller tackled.

00:47:40Reeves defensive end.

00:47:43From the 31-yard line.

00:47:45Morton with both speedy receivers.

00:47:46Allworth and Hayes to the right.

00:47:50Reeves out of the backfield.

00:47:51He comes with the screen to Dwayne Thomas.

00:47:55Thomas fumbles the football.

00:48:00Dwayne Thomas fumbles the football at the 40-yard line.

00:48:05And I believe

00:48:07it's Ralph Peck

00:48:10or Henry Reed.

00:48:11Make it Henry Reed, number 81.

00:48:13Just come into the football game as we cover Dwayne Thomas' fumble.

00:48:17That is eight fumbles that we have seen this evening.

00:48:21You see Dwayne, he carries the ball a little bit on the outside.

00:48:24This is criticized by most coaches as the best way to carry it,

00:48:27which is quite obvious.

00:48:28But he did get a great lick right in the chest by number 55,

00:48:32Ralph Peck, which might cause most folks to fumble.

00:48:36On first and 10 from the Cowboys 41-yard line,

00:48:39the Giants with the football.

00:48:43Harkington.

00:48:44Fires over to Tucker.

00:48:45Tucker at the 30-yard line.

00:48:47Leroy Jordan, 55, there to make the stop.

00:48:51And I know Francis does not want to go deep

00:48:53against this Cowboy defensive team.

00:48:55He really does not figure that he has the time to do it.

00:48:58But Don, he has to get on the scoreboard.

00:49:00Yeah, he sure does.

00:49:01Here's Bobby Duhan as he's coming out of the backfield.

00:49:05You never know for sure, but sometimes, I don't know.

00:49:08He's in the area.

00:49:09Yeah, that's right.

00:49:10You throw it closest to the biggest number of blue jerseys

00:49:13and hope they catch it.

00:49:14That one could have been, I don't know.

00:49:16Francis, you're probably throwing it to Tucker.

00:49:17He was just a little bit low.

00:49:18Good for a first down on the Cowboys 30-yard line.

00:49:21Houston now goes left.

00:49:22McNeil is flank left.

00:49:26Duhan.

00:49:28Moving perhaps for about three yards.

00:49:34Tracking Larry Cole, defensive left end for the Cowboys,

00:49:37number 63.

00:49:42Cowboys defensive unit remaining intact from the start of the game

00:49:46with the exception of Charlie Waters,

00:49:49who is replaced with Harris.

00:49:52Charlie Waters with free safety, number 41.

00:49:54Second down and eight yards for the Giants.

00:49:56We're on the Cowboys 28.

00:50:00Duhan over the middle and open.

00:50:01Beating Chuck Howley inside the 15.

00:50:08Well, that's nine of them.

00:50:11Bob Highland is upset.

00:50:15Nine fumbles in one ballgame, Frank.

00:50:17When do you remember that last?

00:50:20I have never seen one like this one.

00:50:21Matt Merkison came up here a while ago.

00:50:23He says the reason why the Cowboys were fumbling,

00:50:25they weren't used to playing with a dry ball.

00:50:28Here's Chuck Howley who goes back.

00:50:30He slips a little bit.

00:50:31He's covering Duhan.

00:50:34And actually he beat...

00:50:36He saw the fumble.

00:50:38And I believe that is Leroy Jordan that picks it up,

00:50:40number 55 from his middle linebacker position

00:50:43who came back in there.

00:50:46And with timeout, the score is the Cowboys 20, the Giants 6.

00:50:53With all the excitement on TV these days,

00:50:56who says what you watch it on has to be dull,

00:50:58not Panasonic, not even in black and white,

00:51:01because we make TV that pops out of portable radios,

00:51:04TV that shuts up so you can listen to tape,

00:51:07TV that's really easy to take because it's the world's smallest.

00:51:11These days, Panasonic gives you more exciting ways

00:51:14to watch TV than anyone else in the world.

00:51:16And for us, that's very exciting.

00:51:18Panasonic, just slightly ahead of our time.

00:51:24Some people love cola so much, they can't stop drinking it.

00:51:28And for them, there's RC.

00:51:30With RC, you get a great cola taste that's easy on the syrup,

00:51:34easy on the gas, so it doesn't feel like too much.

00:51:38Right, O.J.?

00:51:43RC, a great cola taste that's easy on the syrup,

00:51:46easy on the gas, for people like O.J. Simpson,

00:51:49who can't stop drinking cola.

00:51:54Looking at the Cowboys' huddle,

00:51:5511 minutes and 40 seconds remain to be played in this football game

00:51:58from Dallas, Texas.

00:51:59The Cowboys out in front of the Giants, 20 to 6.

00:52:01First and 10 for the Cowboys,

00:52:03following the ninth fumble of this football game.

00:52:05They have the ball in their own 13-yard line.

00:52:09Craig Morton with the bootleg.

00:52:12It's a 2-ax.

00:52:152-ax, offended there by Willie Williams.

00:52:19The 2-ax moving to the 34-yard line,

00:52:21and Craig Morton really hit that football.

00:52:25This was the...

00:52:26They have this play in their offense going this direction,

00:52:29and not going the other direction,

00:52:30because Freddy Dreier pursues.

00:52:33They feel that he is...

00:52:34He uses his speed, utilizes his speed,

00:52:36to catch a lot of plays from the backside.

00:52:38He takes a step and comes right down the line.

00:52:41You won't see the Cowboys go the other direction with that.

00:52:43They'll always come to their left.

00:52:45They're not always going to their left.

00:52:47Tonight, they're going to come this direction with it.

00:52:51First and 10 now for the Cowboys.

00:52:53They're on the 34-yard line.

00:52:57To the right goes Oliver.

00:52:58Hayes is to the left.

00:53:00This is Danny Reeves.

00:53:01Blaine Nye out in front, blocking.

00:53:05Carl Ockhart coming up from his free safety position.

00:53:09Danny Reeves at the 38-yard line.

00:53:14How about that one?

00:53:16I don't believe that's exactly correct.

00:53:18I think New York has only lost,

00:53:20I believe, 2 of their fumbles.

00:53:22They have lost 4 of theirs,

00:53:23and Dallas has lost 4 of theirs.

00:53:29Second down now.

00:53:31Cowboys from their own 38-yard line.

00:53:35Second down and 7.

00:53:37Block moving with 10 minutes remaining in the football game.

00:53:42Cowboys in their own I formations,

00:53:43and all work to the right.

00:53:46This is Dan Reeves.

00:53:49Dan Reeves stopped by Jim Files.

00:53:52After a pickup of about 3 yards.

00:54:02And we may have a Giant down on the field.

00:54:04We do.

00:54:05This is Joe Green.

00:54:07Joe Green, tight safety for the Giants.

00:54:11NFL Monday Night Football,

00:54:12the New York Giants versus the Dallas Cowboys

00:54:15continues from the Cotton Bowl

00:54:17with the score, the Cowboys 20, the Giants 6.

00:54:23Right now, 72 midsize cars have frozen 71 prices.

00:54:28But of all leading midsize cars,

00:54:30one has unfrozen styling,

00:54:32unfrozen design, unfrozen engineering.

00:54:36Ford's Torino.

00:54:38This is Grand Torino, one of 9 new models.

00:54:41Torino's price is frozen,

00:54:43but it's been restyled, redesigned,

00:54:45reengineered for 72.

00:54:47We wanted to give you a quieter, smoother ride,

00:54:50so we built a new, more rugged frame and body.

00:54:53We wanted to give you more precise handling,

00:54:55so we designed a new suspension system.

00:54:57We've added new front disc brakes, standard.

00:55:00We've designed new interiors to give you more room and comfort.

00:55:04Torino has moved ahead for 72

00:55:06with all new styling and major engineering changes.

00:55:09Everybody can offer you frozen 71 prices,

00:55:12but everybody can't offer you a completely new car,

00:55:16which sort of sets us apart.

00:55:18Your Ford dealer's 72 Torinos.

00:55:20Only the price is frozen.

00:55:24The Cowboys with the third down and two

00:55:26from their own 42-yard line.

00:55:28Joe Green, who has come off the field, appears to be all right.

00:55:31In fact, if you can read lips, I think you probably heard him say,

00:55:33I'm all right.

00:55:35Joe Green in his second year out of Bowling Green.

00:55:37Played middle guard there.

00:55:39Now plays the tight safety.

00:55:43And a cramp in his right calf, we've been informed,

00:55:45on third and two.

00:55:47Two tight ends are in.

00:55:49Truex and Mike Ditka before the short yardage blocking.

00:55:54Reeves.

00:55:56Over the 45 to the 47.

00:55:58Plenty of yardage for the first down.

00:56:00Player coach Danny Reeves.

00:56:02Well, when you look at this whole game in perspective, Frank,

00:56:05one gets the feeling, always watching Dallas,

00:56:07that with their great personnel,

00:56:09let's watch Nyland open this hole.

00:56:12Number 76, one of the great ones out of Iowa.

00:56:18Some kind of hole is right.

00:56:21Another first down for the Cowboys.

00:56:24Ball on their 47-yard line.

00:56:30That's Alworth in motion.

00:56:32Dwayne Thomas. Watch out.

00:56:35Cutting back Dwayne Thomas inside giant territory to the 42.

00:56:39As I was saying, you get the feeling they can explode at any time,

00:56:43yet overall, as we've pointed out, it's not been a well-played game.

00:56:46Dallas has contained.

00:56:48Let's take another look at this one as Dwayne Thomas

00:56:51shows more of his versatility as a runner.

00:56:56Lane Nye leading the way for him there, as you just saw.

00:56:59Number 61.

00:57:01We're back to that offensive line again.

00:57:03But Dallas has contained the Giants with its defense.

00:57:07And I'll tell you, someday they're going to put it all together, John,

00:57:10and win the Super Bowl for you.

00:57:14On first and 10 on the Giants.

00:57:1642 again. Dwayne Thomas very close to another first down.

00:57:21This time behind the blocks of Rayfield Wright and again Blaine Nye.

00:57:26Now they're chewing up the Giants' defensive line,

00:57:29which has done so well up to a point, but is showing signs of fatigue.

00:57:33We were saying it.

00:57:35Yeah, you're going to watch Jimmy Files now,

00:57:37the middle linebacker, 58, get trapped here.

00:57:41Rayfield Wright, number 70,

00:57:43who is the tackle that doesn't get quite as much credit

00:57:46as the other offensive tackle, who is Ralph Neely,

00:57:48but he is a big, strong offensive tackle that's done a great job for Dallas.

00:57:52The ball on the Giants, 32.

00:57:54A half a yard short of another first down.

00:57:56All work goes to the right.

00:57:59Danny Reeves picks up the first down.

00:58:02Moving inside the Giants' 30-yard line.

00:58:05Well, it's a relieved Don Meredith who sits next to us now, Frank.

00:58:09He sees the clock ticking away.

00:58:11Seven minutes, nine seconds left,

00:58:13and he's looking forward to watching himself tomorrow

00:58:16on Greg Garrison's Gold Diggers.

00:58:18Don, of course, en route to becoming a film star.

00:58:22He is relaxed.

00:58:23Can I quote you on that one, too?

00:58:26Joe Green has come back into the backfield for the Giants

00:58:29in their defensive secondary.

00:58:31Alex Webster looking on.

00:58:32Time running out.

00:58:33Six minutes and 47 seconds remain.

00:58:35Cowboys from first down.

00:58:37Danny Reeves with the football.

00:58:39Again, great blocking out in front of Danny Reeves.

00:58:41Would you believe he fumbled the football?

00:58:44Unbelievable.

00:58:45I don't believe it.

00:58:46I don't either.

00:58:47Well, that's ten fumbles,

00:58:49and that's why we can't say this has been a well-played game.

00:58:52I believe Danny hurt his knee on that one, too, it looked like.

00:58:54He's getting up a little slow, but he's walking off.

00:58:57Carl Lockhart coming up with that football.

00:58:59Watch Reeves.

00:59:00Reeves has what they term is a glide to him.

00:59:02He just kind of scoots along, does follow the blocking very well.

00:59:05Let's see what...

00:59:06And there he had the ball carrying it again a little bit loose,

00:59:08and someone grabbed it from the backside.

00:59:10I believe that was Spider Lockhart.

00:59:12North Texas State picked that one up.

00:59:14In case you're wondering about the record for fumbles

00:59:16by two teams in a game in the NFL,

00:59:18it's 14, and it happened three times.

00:59:22Tom can't believe it either,

00:59:23if you saw that picture of him there on the sideline.

00:59:25From near the goal line,

00:59:26Tarkenton whips it out to Rich Houston, incomplete.

00:59:31You saw where he missed him, and that was to the outside.

00:59:34You're going to miss one of them.

00:59:35That's where you miss it if you throw it inside.

00:59:37There's Spider.

00:59:38What do you say, Spider?

00:59:39Nothing.

00:59:40He said nothing.

00:59:41Everything's all right.

00:59:42Listen.

00:59:43Did you know that Frank Gifford,

00:59:45on September 17, 1961,

00:59:47played in a game against the Cardinals

00:59:49that had 14 fouls,

00:59:52played in a game against the Cardinals

00:59:54that had 14 fumbles?

00:59:55I did not.

00:59:56Six by the Giants and eight by the Cardinals.

00:59:59I had three of them.

01:00:00Now that you're reading that book,

01:00:01would you go down there and see

01:00:02who has the record for the most fumbles in one season?

01:00:06Second down, operating from the half-yard line,

01:00:08the Giants trailing 20 to 6.

01:00:13Tarkenton trying to go deep.

01:00:17Wrong side of Rich Houston.

01:00:19Houston drawing double coverage.

01:00:22Cornell Green back there.

01:00:23Herb Adderley back there.

01:00:24Green, 34.

01:00:25Adderley, 26.

01:00:29I don't envy the job of Fran Tarkenton

01:00:31trying to get out from his own end zone,

01:00:35the ball on the half-yard line,

01:00:36looking across the line at Bob Lilly,

01:00:38Jeff Gropieu, Larry Cole, George Andry.

01:00:43One of the reasons that you see

01:00:44a lot of passes from this situation

01:00:46is that you can expect the defense

01:00:47to be playing very tight.

01:00:48They want to contain you and keep you in the hole.

01:00:50This would indicate more often than not

01:00:52that you're going to get man-to-man coverage

01:00:53in the secondary.

01:00:54However, they did get double coverage

01:00:55the play before.

01:00:58Again, the pass on third down.

01:01:02Adderley is there defending against McNeil.

01:01:05Incomplete.

01:01:11And now a problem for the Giants.

01:01:14There is the man who holds the record

01:01:16for most individual fumbles in one season.

01:01:20Number 17, Dallas Cowboys.

01:01:22What can I say?

01:01:23Why don't you let me know

01:01:24when y'all are going to do this?

01:01:26I didn't do it tonight, though.

01:01:27That's one thing.

01:01:28The Cowboys are doing better this year

01:01:29than they did last year, aren't they?

01:01:32Tom Blanchard will have to punt.

01:01:34He cannot kick from his spread punt.

01:01:36He's going to have to hurry it.

01:01:38He's going to have to hurry it.

01:01:41He's going to have to hurry it.

01:01:43He has to stay inside the end zone.

01:01:45And he just did get it off.

01:01:47He got a flag.

01:01:48He got a flag as number 71, Rodney Wallace,

01:01:54has hit Tom Blanchard.

01:01:55Another flag is now down.

01:01:56It's a 45-yard line.

01:01:59Flags, flags, flags.

01:02:01Rodney Wallace is a rookie.

01:02:03Bobby Hay is returning that punt.

01:02:05Without the 40, but we'll wait and see

01:02:07because flags are down.

01:02:11Bobby Bell was the referee,

01:02:12and he was right on that situation back there.

01:02:16Tommy Bell.

01:02:19Bobby Bell plays for Kansas City.

01:02:20Not too bad.

01:02:21We're going to see him next Monday.

01:02:23You're getting ready early, Don.

01:02:24I've had my bell rung so many times

01:02:26I get those bells mixed up.

01:02:27Number 76, Kansas City Chiefs, Bobby Bell.

01:02:32We'll take a look at it.

01:02:33Tom Blanchard is the punter.

01:02:36Right in it.

01:02:37You'll see him come across.

01:02:38Number 71, Rodney Wallace,

01:02:40and he did turn him upside down.

01:02:42That'll cost you.

01:02:43Yep.

01:02:44As a matter of fact, Frank,

01:02:45as you observed before we took the antonyte,

01:02:47the Chiefs are playing back now

01:02:49to their form of two years ago

01:02:51when they won everything.

01:02:52They really are.

01:02:53Tied with Oakland in their division.

01:02:55Running into the kicker is DePaul,

01:02:57an automatic first down,

01:02:58a five-yard assessment.

01:03:00That's different from rubbing the kicker,

01:03:01isn't it, Frank?

01:03:02It is.

01:03:03By 10 yards, as Fran Tarkington

01:03:04looks over that defense.

01:03:06Bobby Duhan goes in motion.

01:03:10Again, trying to hit Houston deep.

01:03:13And again, Houston.

01:03:14With double coverage.

01:03:15He was covered that time, wasn't he?

01:03:18Maybe you should look around for one

01:03:20that's putting single coverage.

01:03:23One of the men covering Houston on that play

01:03:27was number 34, Cornel Green.

01:03:30Cornel was once a cornerback,

01:03:32not a safety.

01:03:33And as we watch the play again,

01:03:35what I was saying is that Cornel broke in

01:03:38against a wide receiver named Frank Gifford,

01:03:40who made Mint's meet-up.

01:03:42Now watch this.

01:03:43Watch Cornel come up.

01:03:44That's it.

01:03:46But the next year,

01:03:47when Frank couldn't run so well,

01:03:49he went against Cornel,

01:03:50and Cornel chewed him up.

01:03:52I thought you were going to stop, Howard.

01:03:54That first cover.

01:03:55On second down from the five-yard line.

01:03:58Again, Duhan goes left.

01:03:59And again, Tarkington.

01:04:01Duhan goes left.

01:04:02And again, Tarkington puts it in the air.

01:04:04This time, the screen pass to Morrison.

01:04:06Larson out in front with the block.

01:04:07Morrison over the 10 to about the 11-yard line.

01:04:10Great pursuit by Jethro Pugh.

01:04:12Came from his defensive tackle

01:04:13to come out and play that screen.

01:04:15Nipped Morrison by the heels

01:04:16and didn't finally bring him down.

01:04:22Good cover of about five yards.

01:04:24We mentioned Pittsburgh and Kansas City

01:04:25next Monday night.

01:04:27We'll also be in Minnesota

01:04:28the following Monday night

01:04:29for Baltimore and Minnesota.

01:04:30And what a beauty that'll be.

01:04:33Still, it's a definite threat this year

01:04:34against anyone, as you know.

01:04:36Though beaten by the Browns yesterday,

01:04:37they still have the golden arm of Terry Bradshaw

01:04:40and their growing building team

01:04:41under Chuck Knoll.

01:04:43Kansas City Super Bowl winners

01:04:44two years ago with the capacity

01:04:46to beat anybody.

01:04:49Five minutes remain to be played.

01:04:50The Giants trail by 14.

01:04:53Tarkington firing to McNeil.

01:04:55He has it.

01:04:56Up over the 30 to the 34-yard line

01:04:57is Clifton McNeil.

01:04:59He's going to play Waters

01:05:00to make the tackle.

01:05:04Brandon has been brave

01:05:05in this stretch of plays right here.

01:05:07He's been putting that thing in the air

01:05:08and that's dangerous.

01:05:09You'll see him come back, set,

01:05:10drill it right in there.

01:05:12Clifton McNeil ran it down in.

01:05:13It was between Howley and Jordan

01:05:16and right in front of Herb Adderley,

01:05:17number 26.

01:05:18Actually, Herb missed it.

01:05:20He's got to be brave.

01:05:21He's got four minutes and 38 seconds left.

01:05:23He trails by 14.

01:05:25He needs more than bravery.

01:05:26He needs America.

01:05:29He needs to go up on top

01:05:30and his speediest receiver is Rich Houston.

01:05:32He puts Houston to the left.

01:05:34McNeil is to the right.

01:05:35Now, Duhan goes in motion

01:05:37from the 32-yard line on first and 10.

01:05:40Morrison.

01:05:43Wow.

01:05:45Number 77, Gregory,

01:05:48comes over to take a pop

01:05:50as Leroy Jordan stops Morrison,

01:05:52pick up perhaps four yards.

01:06:00Three minutes, 50 seconds remain.

01:06:02The clock is running.

01:06:05Second down and eight yards for the Giants.

01:06:08Get through a few, gets the rest.

01:06:10Bob Lilly came in.

01:06:12Lilly moved over.

01:06:13Gregory, 77, went to Pugh's spot.

01:06:18From the 34, Duhan motion left.

01:06:24Trying for McNeil deep.

01:06:25Adderley with good coverage.

01:06:28The fifth, sixth pass in a row

01:06:30headed in Herb Adderley's direction.

01:06:34It's an indication that

01:06:36not so much they disrespect her,

01:06:38but they really do respect Mel Renfroe

01:06:40who plays the other side.

01:06:41Mel has been all pro as a quarterback

01:06:43and as a safety man.

01:06:45Herb Adderley also is an all pro

01:06:46with the Green Bay Packers.

01:06:48A lot of years.

01:06:49A great defensive secondary.

01:06:51Adderley, Willie Wood, Bobby Jeter,

01:06:54Tommy Brown

01:06:56during the years of Lombardi.

01:06:5939 interceptions over this man's career.

01:07:04Notes the book on cornerback play.

01:07:06Third down.

01:07:08Third down and a long eight for the Giants.

01:07:11They're operating now from the 33.

01:07:12Duhan motion left.

01:07:17Tucker trying to get up for that first down.

01:07:21He even puts the ball out front.

01:07:23He'll be short.

01:07:25Tarkenton says we want to go on fourth down.

01:07:28I like your attitude, friend.

01:07:31Admire your courage and question your judgment.

01:07:36310 left in the football game.

01:07:38The clock continuing to run.

01:07:41Tarkenton 21 of 37.

01:07:43221 yards.

01:07:45Now on fourth down with two yards.

01:07:47And each time Tarkenton has had short yardage

01:07:50of two yards,

01:07:51he has gone to the air for his first down.

01:07:54We might see him run around a little bit this time.

01:07:56He's going to get up and start it.

01:07:58And he is not.

01:08:01I suppose that's why he has been going to the air.

01:08:04Larry Cole breaking through to dump Bobby Duhan.

01:08:11Well, let's take a look at it again.

01:08:12This is something that we didn't expect.

01:08:14Obviously, Dallas did because they closed it up pretty good.

01:08:16That's Larry Cole, 63.

01:08:18Dave Edwards is 52 coming in there.

01:08:21And they were right.

01:08:22They were doing what they were supposed to do.

01:08:23That's one thing about coordinating defenses.

01:08:25They don't really play the emotional side of it.

01:08:28And with timeout, the score,

01:08:30the Giants 6, the Dallas Cowboys 20.

01:08:35This is a revolutionary new shaving system from Gillette.

01:08:39To shave you close, we put in our finest blade.

01:08:42And then to shave you even closer,

01:08:45we put in another one.

01:08:48Gillette introduces the world's first razor

01:08:50with two separate blades.

01:08:52The new Gillette Track II.

01:08:54Two blades.

01:08:55To get whisker, one blade could miss.

01:08:58The new Gillette Track II twin blade shaving system.

01:09:01It's one blade better than whatever you're using now.

01:09:06I think all antiperspirants are about the same.

01:09:08You know, mine works for a while until somebody hassles me.

01:09:11You know, I gotta go.

01:09:12If your antiperspirant doesn't do what you hired it to,

01:09:15fire yours and hire ours.

01:09:17Right Guard Antiperspirant.

01:09:19Get the drying agent that really helps keep you dry.

01:09:21Stops odor too.

01:09:22Does my antiperspirant keep me dry?

01:09:25Uh, yeah.

01:09:26Today it's drip dry.

01:09:28Then fire yours and hire ours.

01:09:30Ours is Right Guard.

01:09:35From the Goodyear Blimp, the America,

01:09:39flying over the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas,

01:09:41we get a good view from our pilot Don Koskonek.

01:09:46It's good to know they haven't changed pilots.

01:09:48First content for the Cowboys.

01:09:52Dwayne Thomas.

01:09:53Flag goes down as Dwayne Thomas goes down.

01:09:55Met there by Jim Files, number 58.

01:09:58Douglas, 51.

01:10:00You know, Don, there's 200,000 cubic feet of helium in that blimp.

01:10:03Can you believe that?

01:10:04We established that before.

01:10:06And, Don, if they changed pilots, we'd have a scoop.

01:10:09Did you know the length of it's 194 feet?

01:10:13Did you know there's 7,560 lights on the side?

01:10:17It's 80 miles of wire.

01:10:19Who's the cameraman up there, Don?

01:10:21Oh, it's Bill Sullivan.

01:10:23I bet a lot of people didn't know those things.

01:10:25But I also didn't know who was it that was interested in it.

01:10:30Holding.

01:10:31Dallas Cowboys.

01:10:32Joe Williams has come in as one setback replacing Danny Reeves.

01:10:38Joe Williams, number 36.

01:10:40Rookie out of Wyoming.

01:10:42There it is.

01:10:43That's the story of this football game.

01:10:45Spread them around pretty evenly.

01:10:47Craig Morton.

01:10:48Another.

01:10:49Wayne Thomas bobbles the football.

01:10:51The Giants recover, I believe.

01:10:53Yes, it is.

01:10:55Bottom of the pile, number 58, Jim Files.

01:11:00It's a pity.

01:11:02Incidentally, that was a stroke of genius by our diminutive producer

01:11:06putting up the fumbles just before the 11th one came along.

01:11:10Another tangible evidence of his great ability.

01:11:13Well, records are good for something.

01:11:17He just drops that one.

01:11:19That one went right in the stomach.

01:11:21You can't do what without what.

01:11:24You can't score without the football.

01:11:26The clock is moving with 2 minutes and 19 seconds.

01:11:29Parkington goes down.

01:11:31The flag is down at the 40-yard line.

01:11:36It's a pity we only have 2 minutes and 15 seconds left to play.

01:11:40We'd like to play a little more time.

01:11:42We might get to the 14-fumble record done.

01:11:45That would certainly be very interesting.

01:11:48It would mean a lot to all of us.

01:11:51That flag appears to be for offensive interference.

01:11:56Of course, the Dallas Cowboys would decline.

01:12:01Well, here's the relaxed Freddy Dreier.

01:12:04Quite a football player during this past offseason.

01:12:07Freddy Dreier went down and looked around South America.

01:12:09He got lost in the river down there.

01:12:11Great surfer. Got a couple of motorcycles.

01:12:15Not like my kind of fella.

01:12:17I thought you'd like him, Don.

01:12:18Second down and 15.

01:12:21Go on! Go on!

01:12:24Hit by Waters and Harris.

01:12:27Tom Stensick has replaced Leroy Jordan as the middle linebacker.

01:12:31Trying to get him as much experience as they possibly can.

01:12:37And with timeout, the score,

01:12:40the Dallas Cowboys 20, the New York Giants 6.

01:12:45Most new cars leaving U.S. factories are treated with special radiator anti-leak ingredients.

01:12:51So safe and effective, they're the only anti-leak ingredients used by U.S. automakers.

01:12:57You get them with Dow Super Coolant Antifreeze, backed by Dow Research.

01:13:11Dow.

01:13:17To really appreciate our cigar, you have to smoke their cigar.

01:13:21Take a puff on their cigar.

01:13:24Then take a puff on a White Owl.

01:13:27Try the cigar test on us.

01:13:29Send your name, address, and name of any other comparably priced cigar

01:13:32to White Owl, Box 40, New York, New York.

01:13:35And we'll send you one of theirs.

01:13:38One of ours.

01:13:39White Owl. Ours.

01:13:44Calvin Hill, number 35.

01:13:46The right knee sprained and wrapped, as you can see.

01:13:49The point we wanted to make earlier tonight about injuries was

01:13:52that last year we blamed a lot of them on the loss of training time

01:13:55because of the pension strike.

01:13:57And it's only fair to bring out that this year we've had

01:14:00an even greater abundance of injuries and there was no pension strike.

01:14:04And we think we owe it to our viewers and listeners

01:14:08and to the players themselves to make the point.

01:14:11The Giants with the first down of ten.

01:14:13They're on the Dallas Cowboys' 40-yard line.

01:14:17Tarkenton firing for McNeil.

01:14:19McNeil working against Mel Renfro as Tarkenton goes down

01:14:22in the arms of Gregory.

01:14:25Bill Gregory, he's a rookie out of Wisconsin.

01:14:28He is big like all the Dallas Cowboys' front four men.

01:14:316'5", 255 pounds.

01:14:39The Giants desperately need to get on the scoreboard.

01:14:42They're going to have to go long.

01:14:44The Cowboys' front four are aware of this.

01:14:48If they can get on the scoreboard, they would have an opportunity.

01:14:54From the 40-yard line of the Cowboys, Tarkenton firing to Duhan.

01:14:59Duhan goes down by Chuck Howley, 54.

01:15:02Cornell Green, 34, was also there.

01:15:04The Giants in their hurry-up offense.

01:15:07Pickup of about 17 yards.

01:15:09That's the time the clock is moving.

01:15:11This will be a pass play.

01:15:12Fran will try for the completion.

01:15:16Or if he cannot complete it, he'll throw to kill the clock.

01:15:20He has three timeouts remaining.

01:15:22Houston to the right, McNeil to the left.

01:15:25Goes to Morrison, who tries to one-hand it.

01:15:27Incomplete.

01:15:29That will stop the clock.

01:15:30It will also give us a chance to tell you,

01:15:32our executive producer of ABC Sports is Brun Arledge.

01:15:35NFL Monday Night Football is produced and directed by

01:15:38the Divinity, Ted Forty.

01:15:40Co-produced by Dennis Lewin.

01:15:42Co-directed by Don Ulmeyer.

01:15:43Our associate director, Lou Frederick.

01:15:45Technical directors, Bill Morris and John Broderick.

01:15:48Our engineering supervisor is Roy Robbins.

01:15:51Our unit manager, Art Thibodeau.

01:15:54Assistants to the producers, Bill Yerrick and Bob Goodrich.

01:16:00Diminutive, eh?

01:16:02On second down.

01:16:04Second and ten.

01:16:05The ball on the Cowboys' 24-yard line.

01:16:07McNeil goes to the right.

01:16:11McNeil, well-covered, talking, scrambling.

01:16:13Finds Duhan, who can't hold on to the football.

01:16:17Duhan, well-covered by number 54, Chuck Howley.

01:16:21I'd also like to thank our statistician, Jerry Kapstein,

01:16:25and our spotter, Frank Brown.

01:16:30And again, we'll remind you,

01:16:32Pittsburgh and Kansas City next Monday night.

01:16:38And of course, on Saturday, a real battle,

01:16:42as it always is, Arkansas and Texas.

01:16:44That's for Little Rock, Arkansas.

01:16:45That's 4 p.m. Eastern time here on ABC.

01:16:52Third and ten.

01:16:56There they are.

01:17:04McNeil.

01:17:05Six points.

01:17:08McNeil splitting.

01:17:10Charlie Waters, 41, and Mel Renfrow,

01:17:13Parkinson's drilling it on target.

01:17:16And I don't have to tell you, this is not over.

01:17:18Clifton McNeil, number 18.

01:17:21I really think...

01:17:23I don't know what they were doing.

01:17:24Looks like to me that...

01:17:25Had to be a combination.

01:17:26Yeah, Renfrow went outside.

01:17:28Looks like Waters was...

01:17:30It should have been a combination.

01:17:31He had him to the inside.

01:17:32They just split him in there.

01:17:33It's a good route.

01:17:34Good throw by Francis.

01:17:37And the man who is going to attempt this conversion,

01:17:40Pete Gogolak, I think we'll see in a few moments,

01:17:42trying an onside kick.

01:17:49Right through the heart is Pete Gogolak.

01:17:56Giants growing closer.

01:17:58There is the story.

01:17:59A minute and 16 seconds remain.

01:18:02Giants with three timeouts.

01:18:05And over the sidelines,

01:18:06Gogolak goes to Norb Hecker,

01:18:09the defensive coach.

01:18:10Matt Hazeltine is on Gogolak's right,

01:18:13linebacker coach for the Giants.

01:18:18These men coaching the special teams.

01:18:23There it is.

01:18:241.16 remains to be played.

01:18:27The decision will be whether or not to kick away

01:18:32and then use your timeouts

01:18:33to try and regain possession of the football.

01:18:35Dallas has one man deep.

01:18:38One man, Cliff Harris, has dropped deep.

01:18:41They are anticipating the onside kick.

01:18:42So am I.

01:18:44But again, they do have three timeouts remaining.

01:18:49And the Cowboys have got everybody.

01:18:54Everybody up with the exception of Cliff Harris.

01:18:56He's hanging back about the 25.

01:19:03Cliff Harris at about the 25.

01:19:05There it is.

01:19:06It has to travel 10 yards before it can be touched.

01:19:07It doesn't.

01:19:08It goes out of bounds.

01:19:10That will be the penalty assessed.

01:19:13Five yards.

01:19:15And we'll see the same thing all over again.

01:19:20Looking over in the far left side is Otto Brown

01:19:22and Joe Green, number 33.

01:19:24And I would anticipate that Joe Green is the man

01:19:26the Giants hope will be able to recover the onside kick.

01:19:30And boy, the Cowboys pulled up.

01:19:34They have eight men, nine men, ten men within ten yards.

01:19:38Again, the ball must travel ten yards

01:19:40before it can be touched.

01:19:41And here's Joe Green.

01:19:44Reed is also there.

01:19:45Those are receiver types with the good hands, as they say.

01:19:49Try the other side once.

01:19:51DeeDee Lewis.

01:19:56So with a minute and 12 seconds, the onside kick fails.

01:20:00So with a minute and 12 seconds, the onside kick fails.

01:20:06DeeDee Lewis.

01:20:08Also with the good hands.

01:20:11Again, the score, the Cowboys 20, the Giants 13.

01:20:15We approach the time, Frank, when we'll be seeing more

01:20:18of innovative Hank Scrams hijinks next week

01:20:21and Don Meredith's good friend Bobby Bell,

01:20:24whom we said earlier was 76 mistakenly.

01:20:27As I recollected, Don, he's 78.

01:20:30Good thinking, Howard.

01:20:32All right, we've seen many fumbles tonight.

01:20:35This is what the Giants are hoping for now.

01:20:37The first man will make the tackle.

01:20:38The second man will go for the football.

01:20:40Carl Lockhart uses one of the Giants' three timeouts.

01:20:43Pick up maybe a yard.

01:20:46Possession is what the Cowboys want to maintain if they can.

01:20:5145 seconds remaining to be played.

01:20:53Greg Morton moves over to the sidelines

01:20:55to talk to player coach Danny Reeves

01:20:57and head coach Tom Landry.

01:21:00Tom Landry has been the winningest coach

01:21:02in pro football over the past five years.

01:21:06And I played cornerback for him, Tom,

01:21:08when I played defense.

01:21:09He was a Giants safety man.

01:21:11And he has got one great head for football.

01:21:14Yeah, he has that.

01:21:16He can come up with a lot of numbers

01:21:18that'll just dazzle you.

01:21:20Made a star out of a man.

01:21:21Dazzle you.

01:21:22Made a star out of a man

01:21:23who spent much of the evening in our booth.

01:21:25Big Sam Huff number seven.

01:21:28He sure did for a fact.

01:21:30The violent world of Sam Huff.

01:21:33Second down and 11.

01:21:3645 seconds remain.

01:21:37The Giants a touchdown and a conversion away.

01:21:41Joe Williams.

01:21:43Pick up of about three yards.

01:21:48I'm kind of amazed

01:21:49when you look at head coach Alex Webster

01:21:51that Tom Landry,

01:21:52at this critical point in the game,

01:21:54would leave the rookie Joe Williams

01:21:56in the ballgame.

01:21:58And we see Henry Reid

01:22:00limping to the sidelines.

01:22:04Jim Kanicki will replace Reid.

01:22:08Third down now and eight.

01:22:12The Giants with one timeout remaining

01:22:14must stop this play

01:22:16to get possession for any kind of hope

01:22:18of pulling to a tie.

01:22:20Trainers Johnny Ziegle and Johnny Johnson

01:22:22work on Henry Reid.

01:22:26Appears as if Reid

01:22:29has damaged his left leg,

01:22:31whether it's a knee or

01:22:33what we cannot ascertain from here

01:22:35as we look again at Tom Landry.

01:22:38He has just sent Craig Morton back into the game.

01:22:45Joe Williams one setback.

01:22:47Dwayne Thomas the other setback.

01:22:50I think he said give the ball to Thomas.

01:22:52He's been around a little longer than

01:22:53Williams, but we'll see.

01:22:56This is Williams.

01:23:00Play ends up ended right at the line of scrimmage.

01:23:02And the Giants will use their final timeout.

01:23:05Ron Hornsby coming over along with Carl Lockhart.

01:23:08A report on Reid, Frank.

01:23:09He twisted his left knee,

01:23:11not believed to be at all serious.

01:23:16All right, fourth down now for the Cowboys.

01:23:20Giants keep in mind are out of timeouts.

01:23:24And Craig Morton has gone over to talk to Tom Landry.

01:23:27They will probably not attempt a field goal

01:23:30because it could be blocked.

01:23:33They can run

01:23:35the clock now, the official clock on the scoreboard

01:23:37shows 32 seconds.

01:23:39They can run one play.

01:23:40The Giants will be unable to stop the football.

01:23:42They have their offensive team

01:23:43gathered on the sidelines.

01:23:45They'll run out onto the field,

01:23:46try and get a play that they've already called

01:23:48on the sidelines into action.

01:23:50It'll be a pass trying to kill the clock.

01:23:52Norb Hecker to Carl Lockhart.

01:23:54Norb Hecker to Carl Lockhart.

01:23:58What he might be saying, I don't know,

01:23:59other than we have got to stop them

01:24:01if we're going to get a chance even for one play.

01:24:05In other words, go get the football.

01:24:11You know, Dallas used the rush this half done

01:24:13just the way you wanted them to,

01:24:14for 172 yards.

01:24:17They played a much better second half.

01:24:21On fourth down, 32 seconds remain.

01:24:24Hut, hut, hut.

01:24:25Oh, and off sides goes Douglas.

01:24:27I believe flags are in the air.

01:24:33John Douglas, number 51,

01:24:34I believe you saw a jump off sides for the Giants.

01:24:39Clock now shows 29 seconds.

01:24:44You'll see John Douglas.

01:24:47And he has to be a very embarrassed Giant.

01:24:51Two or three seconds.

01:24:52Very expensive at this point.

01:24:56More than that now.

01:24:57The Cowboys have fourth down and three.

01:25:07Greg Morth looking over to the yard markers.

01:25:09Joe Williams comes back to the brown set.

01:25:13Here's Williams.

01:25:14He does not pick up the first down.

01:25:16You'll see the Giants' offensive team rush onto the field.

01:25:18They've called a play already.

01:25:20The official will start the clock.

01:25:22The Giants out of timeouts.

01:25:23The official will start the clock

01:25:25when he sees both teams are on the field and set.

01:25:28The Cowboys obviously in the prevent defense.

01:25:3126 seconds remain.

01:25:33The Giants trailing by one single touchdown.

01:25:3517 seconds remain.

01:25:36The Giants trailing by one single touchdown.

01:25:40They're 70 yards away from that touchdown.

01:25:46Duhan, and he'll go out of bound.

01:25:48Pick up of about nine yards.

01:25:5117 seconds remain.

01:25:56Duhan, nine receptions here this evening.

01:26:00111 yards.

01:26:02I'll repeat.

01:26:0317 seconds remain to be played.

01:26:06Giants without timeouts.

01:26:08The Cowboys will be defending, Duhan, wouldn't you say,

01:26:11the sidelines in every way possible.

01:26:13Yeah, it's really a tough job, Frank,

01:26:15with this little time and no timeout.

01:26:17He is going to have to get out of bounds as quick as he can,

01:26:19so the chance to either go to the sidelines

01:26:22or try to take the chance and go deep.

01:26:24They've got these guys playing pretty deep back there, though.

01:26:27Almost picked off.

01:26:29Mel Renfrow almost picked off that pass.

01:26:33I might add, was almost complete to tip to McNeil.

01:26:37They're just playing back as far as they can.

01:26:39You'll see him trying to hit him at the line of scrimmage.

01:26:41McNeil goes down deep.

01:26:43He just pulls up in a hole.

01:26:46Renfrow, which you don't even see in the picture right now,

01:26:48is still another 10 or 15 yards down there.

01:26:50He's trying to time this.

01:26:52And there it is.

01:26:53Went back to the line of scrimmage.

01:26:55And there it is.

01:26:56Went right through his hands.

01:26:58As Frank mentioned, it was almost complete to McNeil after he went past.

01:27:02Now on third down, Tarkinton 25 of 45, 289 yards.

01:27:07The Giants battling to the end.

01:27:09They came into this game without their number one offensive threat,

01:27:12Ron Johnson.

01:27:14Still in there with seconds remaining.

01:27:16The clock moving.

01:27:18This will be the last play.

01:27:21So why not?

01:27:23Larry Harper can't find the handle.

01:27:25I think we'll have our last fumble of the evening.

01:27:29As time runs out.

01:27:3112 fumbles on the night.

01:27:33Alex Webster trots off.

01:27:35He's not too happy.

01:27:36There's Coach Landry, and I'm sure he is too.

01:27:39He really looks excited.

01:27:42The final score.

01:27:45Dallas Cowboys 20, the New York Giants 13.

01:27:48We'll return to the Cotton Bowl in just a moment.

01:27:54What kind of tires can drive down a snow-covered mountain,

01:27:58dig in and stop fast on hard-packed snow,

01:28:02or with studs, even stop on glare ice?

01:28:06The answer, Sears Dynaglass Ice and Snow tires

01:28:09with the exclusive traction grooved down the center.

01:28:12They go in snow, stop in snow, stop on ice.

01:28:17Dynaglass Ice and Snow tires for front and rear wheels.

01:28:20Only at Sears.

01:28:24Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night

01:28:40The Sears Diehard.

01:28:43With extra power to start your car when most batteries won't.

01:28:48Sold only at Sears.

01:28:54And this is not the crew of the blimp.

01:28:57On my right, Don Meredith Howard in the middle, of course.

01:29:00And you probably heard the Dallas fans back up Old Ang's sign

01:29:04as the Cowboys left the field.

01:29:06The winner here this evening.

01:29:07And, of course, this is the last game the Cowboys will play in the Cotton Bowl.

01:29:10They move to Texas Stadium for their game in two weeks.

01:29:13Don, a lot of memories for you here.

01:29:15It really is, Frank.

01:29:17This Cotton Bowl is something I came up here,

01:29:19I spent a while ago to see the State Fair for the first time.

01:29:22Back this way one game.

01:29:24It was a great thrill for me to be here.

01:29:28Well, right now this is Frank Giffords saying so long for Don Meredith Howard Cosell.

01:29:33We're leaving the Cotton Bowl.

01:29:35Our air travel has been arranged through a promotional fee

01:29:37paid by United Airlines, the airline chosen by 20 of the 26 pro teams.
