in there they got the big backfield in two fullbacks in right now right to the plant and they flip Haynes on the wing to play number 43 and Gary cut singer number 80 bird I think we might as well mention right now I believe these people watching the ballgame can hear this this crowd is almost to the point of hysteria before the ballgame began so you can expect a lot of delays by the quarterbacks when our own players can't hear their signals today second down five to go for the Dallas Texans on their own 33 Lenny Dawson brings them up blank wide left [Applause] that's putting the end [Music] 35 of the 37 had Moosman stop team there he is Curtis McClinton number 32 the Rookie of the Year the American Football League and a former all-american at Camden he finished Hilton Iligan rushing and did not play much in the first four games 230 and he can move as planned most of the time throws the ball pretty much with a van and he throws quite often and I think he's thrown about a third more passes than Dawson this season all right George Blanda number 16 the veteran quarterback give the pilot Charlie colors at the 45 into the 47 Bob Schmidt was blocking for him Davis in the Rochester in on the stop three yard gain second down seven you'll see toller's Paul mentioned a very unusual running style he's only five feet six and waves a hundred and ninety eight pound really built low to the ground and he's hard to bring down he was second in the league in rushing a third in the league Hanigan his flank wide right and Duvall the split left in there's a draw off the color color rips up to the 49 number 56 is Cory and Cheryl Henrique number 69 Hank Stram Dallas coach to the press box with a spotter you've just seen taller twice you've seen seen something you'll see all day he's always apparently stopped for a yard or two loss and he ends up with a yard or two gain even when that line is in on it he is really tough to bring down he's quite a squirmer third down five to go for Houston on their 49 they're in their double wing set up now Blanda looking good protection and again with shackles by Bobby slide number 14 formerly available this sound for Houston when you saw him line up as you did there with nobody in the offensive back field except Lando they're all out on the flanker this means he's got at least five receivers to throw to because they'll all go downfield Tanana Toller is set deep Hennigan flank left dropped the cannon trying to get outside 235 at the free $26.00 he was brought down get hard there by AJ Holub talimena he was moving out the block for him now they have a second down for Houston threatening here early in his game no score landed the quarterback number 16 cannon left at number 20 solar 44 the full-back and Hennigan 87 the flanker with Duvall and McLeod attend solar trying to move that first down [Music] [Applause] as play resumed here in Houston Texas the Houston others have the ball on the Dallas Texans 16 yard line second down and six Houston now in the midst of a 40 yard drive that was carried from home 44 and again wide right back and that pipe Bobby fly tripped him up Bob Schmidt was leading the way for him also on that play was big Jerry Mays number 75 Lulu's and sideline the sidelines with his 255 pounds at the 12 yard line third down and 2 the goal or the Houston Oilers [Applause] same setup with Canada thrower deep [Music] [Applause] they get at the cannon [Music] the linebackers and then send Billy cannon wide the faculty bill Hall number 85 defensive left in and Bobby fly number 14 that was it Kurt that was a nice call by bland a fine call because everybody was expecting the full-back taller to hit for that short yards and he faked him up the middle and drew that defense in first down goal the goal for the Houston Oilers on the ballast section five panting wraps up on the 4 yard line by Jerry Mays in each a hollow jae-ha lobe in his second year in pro football the name do the All American Football League team has a linebacker in fact you'll see two outstanding linebackers for Dallas today Barrelhead rig number 69 also was an Allpoint the throw choice second down four to go for a Houston touchdown they're just over the dallas five we'll call it the four we have no score eight minutes ten seconds to go in the first period [Applause] plan of the canon canon knock down on the nine yard line by a mad branch number 87 and by Dave grace in the right corner man number 45 we really fired through now it's third down and nine the goal for a Houston touchdown they're both playing is rather cautiously both quarterbacks occurred but I would suspect you'd almost have to see a throw now for the five yards ago and if it fails come up with a field goal but they've both stayed on the ground there's been only one pass in the ball game up to now they're down nine to go for Houston they're on the Dallas nine and again goes wide right blue ball split in left [Applause] planta fading on third down [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] bacala Houston there goes home for the key intersection and greeted by smugly sober one of the Texas Lyman made a fine fighters Holub right there made a fine defensive play because he hit planted just as he was throwing and that was the result of that wounded pigeon throw as you saw it fall down into Hollis hands so Dallas has the ball mister their first two first down of the game Dallas on their 48th first down we have no score six minutes 54 seconds left to play in the first period Ames as a flanker back again the spikes in McClinton set beat two fullbacks in the Dallas backfield here's McClinton in the houston territory and out of bounds on the houston 45 curtis McClinton the big rookie pull back knocked down and out by Freddy Glick the right safety man of Houston now Reynolds the right guard was pulling for him and leading away there was a gain of seven if second down and three to go and for the first time in the game Dallas is in Houston territory let's see what they do now second and three [Applause] the pastor hain is completed it's good at the 37 yard line we'll be a first down Fidelis don't even feel on top of Abner Haynes the second leading rusher in the American League first down Dallas their second first down in the game but crisper firt injured Dallas has changed their backfield perfer it is by far the outstanding pass receiver on the Dallas team so for the championship game is at two fullbacks in the lineup and put Haynes out on the plane first down Dallas on the Houston 37 cross to McClinton at the 35 and the quickly running it inside the 30 out of bounds in the Houston 29 Culpepper drove him out number 78 of course one thing they accomplished too by using the two fullbacks is the deep man in the backfield if they're not running they have great pass protection for Lenny Dawson because you've got the two big boys in there to block Dallas grinding it out now they stop the Houston touchdown threat Dallas now is carried from their 43 after the interception by EJ Holub they're now on the Houston twenty nine with a second down and two to go [Music] [Applause] Dawson on second down there's a lot passionately he did not have control and possession it was antennae for McLaren on that tumbling attempt but it all ends up as an incomplete forward pass into the third down and two to go he sure had it long enough as he was going down looked like a juggling act [Music] five minutes 53 seconds to go in the first period no score panes wide left to tighten up and both ends in price the fake to McClinton [Applause] Dec fights off Mike Duke Sarah winning and that was a great class slides awesome he had a leading purposely and drop it here's your signal motion declined by Houston Dallas loses it down in his fourth and three for Dallas on the Houston eight I felt pretty sure that they would refuse the penalty Kurt because it does no good to get a five yard family and then I have them attempt a field goal it's no difference from that distance it would give another opportunity to throw all right Tommy butcher will attempt the kick holding his gospel he spotted on the 15 yard line wide angle from the far side and the kick the store Jefferson City in the Dallas section 3 of the Houston Oilers nothing Tommy Booker who just looted that field goal to put Dallas in front

looked like he was going to be 10 - inside of his 15 said Green was downfield to hit him first and bring him down so it's Houston's fall now first down on their 28th George Blanda running a team quarterback they've got a double wing a clot on an end they've got everybody Fred [Applause] [Music] lower than a thirty five inch worms for the 36 yard line each day holoband bill ho had aimed to bringing down that was no accident their last minute get rid of the ball deal because taller stood there all the time planta was going to attempt to throw the long ball if it were open but it wasn't

third down five to go for Houston Lander firesteel Hannigan any was pointing to the sideline for it to say they're worried about well no he did it the hard way and that he knew he was near the sideline and he dragged both feet as he went across to catch the ball but apparently the official who was right there saw his feet on their chalk mark fourth and five and now in confirmation of Jim Norton who finished second in the league in funding he averaged 43 yards of kick pains and Jackson Jackson's closer to you after Haynes on the far side and the double safety they're on their own 30

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I think in this case it had to go along with the official that was a little late but this what's behind all that is that those quarter backs everybody's gone

40 35 30 and down Grayson for my ward [Music] [Applause] and Dallas now House of all in history territory on the Houston twenty nine and bland is going to be kicking himself there there's a man who intercepted Grayson in that you saw him stop there and sort of confer with Hennigan out on the flanker there was apparently a little bit of a mix-up and generally a quarterback a call time out there but he went ahead with the play and that's what usually results when there's a little bit of a misunderstanding in the huddle they've got Frank Jackson as a flanker back they've gone out of there to fullback system give it them a Clinton what a hole and open for him is he roars for the twenty three Favre Carroll and Jim Tyre were blocking for Curtis McClinton second down four to go for Dallas only Houston 23 Dallas of the head ten to nothing we have six and a half minutes to play in the first half Jackson's the flanking back the ends in sight mr. Haynes pains a shot at the 25 they'll be Fenian on Abner Haynes all day he averaged nearly five yards to carry this pass see he's a marked man every time he gets the ball Mike Dukes it him first and then head husband came in the home loss to three third down and seven to go there's the Dallas bench in there coach Hank Stram heard gaudium fall Chris Froome with Jack buck again in Houston Texas Dallas leading 17 nothing as Houston puts the ball in play on their 49 George Blanda [Applause] tackled by Johnny Robinson and he plowed the tight end from Abilene Christian that gives a first down for Houston on the Dallas 30 he's had pretty good luck on his patterns down the middle all day Curt Hennig and dropped the last one but he was wide open so planta obviously is sticking with what is the best spot to throw in up to now now Houston asking for time as they came up and once again he had a mix up in the huddle there apparently bland and Hennigan are not hitting on all six on these past patterns so he called a timeout so he they didn't blow this better than this time bobby ply on the Dallas bench number 20 Bobby hunt of Auburn now Branch is 87 ready to go now Houston ball first down on the Dallas 30 landed a cannon at the 30 and out of bounds on the 26 yard line Dave grace in the right corner man took him out Ron Zillow was leading the way around the block put it on a 27 they say second down and seven Houston is not on the scoreboard yet they're trailing 17 nothing with two minutes 46 seconds to go in the first half [Applause] and again the plank arrived with two slots back color and motion color on the inside reversed goes to the 24 of Dallas number 72 is Paul Rochester and number 75 is Gary maze they're the two big men in the middle of that Dallas line they have a third down and five to go Houston in possession when they have just 2 minutes and 20 seconds left in the first half to get a score [Applause] there's the Kipling 3 or the collet and complete passive tenant for Hennigan you notice every time Hennigan cos downfall is being double-teaming yes they have to cover him that way he has all the moves as I mentioned he's not having a good day with his hands he dropped two passes he should have had I will say this in his favor both passes are a little bit behind the mark but this should be no excuse for a good receiver like Hanigan he just one of those things sometimes you drop him and he dropped 2 of 5 and 1/4 pound fourth and five on the Dallas 25 a big one for Blanda [Applause] having trouble hanging on to the Bolivar good wall with the intended receiver number 88 well Houston swept the straw here late in the first half that stop and Dallas takes over a first down for Dallas on the Dallas 25 with Dallas out in front 17 to nothing the lack of being able to hold on to the ball has killed two drives for Houston up to now and this this of course really changes the quarterbacks thinking because he expects to make that game when a man is open he chose to him when he doesn't you've just seen two drives go to pot they've got their backfield now Jackson on the flank McClinton Haynes deep Dawson faking the draw throwing the Haines at the 25 ever Haynes at the 30 and Haynes is brought down at the 33 yard line of Dallas by Doug Klein and Mike Dukes the two linebackers of the Houston Oilers their two-minute warning now is being given to each been a gain of eight for Abner Haynes second down two to go for the Dallas Texans are out in front 17 to nothing Jackson is the flanker left both have been tight Avril Haines trying to get outside he stopped with a 34 yard line by Bucky Wagoner and Freddie Glick and those victorious Missourians are sitting here watching their old teammate Bucky Wagner who played at Missouri just a year ago third down one to go for Dallas on the Dallas 34 Jack spikes down at fullback replacing Curtis McClinton Jaxson the flanker they've got the first down and more filling up to the 39-yard line as Jack spikes Mike Dukes brought him down Jack spikes of Texas Christian I wanted if Dawson was gonna sit on that 17 point leader go for the throw here and try to get another quick test down before the half and he is throwing but he's throwing the safe type pass all you've seen so far is the screen which is the type of thing that is seldom intercepted let's see if he throws downfield now or just plays it cozy the rest of the half all right Paul they're 45 seconds to go in the half Dawson right down the middle and it is complete to spread our banners number 84 the tight end his second year from Michigan State University that was quite a catch by him Mike Dukes haul him in and they're going to try and stop the clock now it's on the Houston 49 Dallas calling trying to stop the clock well

Houston is edging those men up and they've become famous for that safety blitz that they've used they even rushed the safety man at times I think Dawson has seen this to the type of pass that Hank

touchdown wins the game the first team to score the sudden-death playoff it's a regulation 15-minute period they're playing in fact they'll just keep playing 15-minute barriers until somebody scores and ABC television will stay right with you 11 minutes left in this first sudden-death fairly new balls foot left Hennigan right the hand off the cannon 10 into 45 and up to the 50 yard line and he

Robinson also added a pass that on the end zone at Turner was about these warm late in the fourth quarter Johnny Robinson standout in the defensive secondary well Dallas now has the ball in Houston

McClinton has he Bulls to the 41 yard line of Houston a gain of six yards it is second down and four to go for Dallas Dean Babb on the tackle number 33 [Music] it was nearly dark here in Houston and a cloudy day the temperatures drop 25 degrees since we started the game and the fans have forgot all about that they seemed too tightly contested batter second down and four thought Cole left hand is McClinton 10 we mark it down flag down that's Abner Haynes number 28 he says we'll accept the penalty we'll see what it's for five yards against Houston [Applause] [Music] no signal yet [Music]

a 4th down and 13 in the putting Eddie Wilson and fun promotion Gansu can flip to a double safety [Applause] kick hips on the 25 to the $20 bounce and roll is carrying the ball that a Houston 16 and a half it'll be Houston ball first town there's a time remaining in this first sudden-death playoff period for the American Football League championship it's tied up 17 - 17 first team of scores wins the game landed a cannon cannon gets it to the 14 second down seven sherry Hedrick the middle linebacker made the tackle for Dallas Curt I think we can pose a question for the armchair quarterbacks at home right now you you're going to have a tough time getting out of this territory running but if you throw that ball an interception can be fatal what are you going to do in this position second down seven Houston on their 14 any kind of a field position of course can be vital in this game for a field goal the women Lana's quick fast complete to the 25 a 45 day bracelet there's a first time for Houston I have to say mr. Blaine has a lot of fortitude to make that call first down Houston on the 25 the game is tied 17 - 17 five and a half minutes to go in the first overtime period [Applause] Paula Smith right back to bland again plaintiff pass incomplete intended for Billy cannon number 20 that ball was given to Smith on a draw and he gave it right back to bland oh and I think we noticed something there too Curt cannon was about to receive the ball again his back trouble he could not bend over that ball hit him on the thigh guard it was low but he can't bend over while he's running to make that catch this game right now of course this is unofficial but this is the longest game ever played in the history of brawl football here it is done through nearly ten minutes of the overtime period Dave Smith on a draw play whipping his way up to the 29 yard line third down and six to go for Houston while Corey on the tackle for the Dallas Texans each team had a vente chol season records of 11 wins and three losses Houston won the Eastern Division of the American Football League and Dallas the Western Division and each split two games playing each other we had only one tie game all year that was a tie between Buffalo and Boston and this is the second time it comes in the championship game land a little quick toss up with a snare let's get the 35 in a 36 they get enough for a first down [Applause] he's fan sound like he made a touchdown on our okay every yard and this over time ago his vital Dallas giving up ground grudgingly but giving it up right now first down for youthful Lana on the quick pastor Kenan ban him to the 40 to the 41 for yard gain for cannon tackle by AJ Holub the beast was been the beast today second down and six to go for Houston on the Houston 41 the game tied 17 - 17 three minutes and 35 seconds left in this overtime period still neither team has scored in the seventh period did they go through their first period let's start the second one and keep playing though somebody's called double-wing set up land at the Hennigan complete at the 15 Pentagon first time very fish is what three above right in his lap and when he caught out of his ear by the way we have a light rain coming down now just a light one but if it continues enough to perhaps make the field a little slippery and the ball too first down for Houston on a 50-yard line were tied 17 to 17 in the overtime period Houston has marched in at the living yard line to the 50 yard line on this Drive land of faking firing or somebody there pass intended for Canon who had turned in going out and then in Atlanta was throwing to the sidelines here again you see the difference now and between Dawson and Blanda we have not seen Duss and there's your time right there we have not seen Dawson throw a ball away today and that time we did see bland to throw one away because he was going to lose about 12 yards if he'd hell it there was a blue jersey in the area so he could throw to it but actually throwing the ball away to save that 15 yards Dawson depends on his own running to get out of that hole and very often he does consequently he has over a six hundred percentage in passing Houston's second down on the 50-yard line second and 10 double wing landis pass is complete [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they took up about 50 yard every yard for that ball for a field goal to win this game there's a very first time for Houston now they're on the dollar thirty five oh what a grinding March this has been by Houston 39 yards upfield 15 downfield they have now March 54 yards from their 11 yard line and they've got a great field goal kicker and blander the pitch today Smith Smith is hit hard by Cheryl Hedrick number 69 that was a tremendous effort by Hendricks they all League linebacker on the American League defensive team they lost the yard on that played a second down and 11 the goal for Houston and I'll tell you that Dallas line hasn't thrown in the towel I'm shouting either they're playing hard nosed ball second down 11 this is not only the battle for the American League Championship isn't for the state of Texas all effective second down 11 ago Lander rolling out fires and the complexion suddenly changes Houston has marched 54-yard they were giving him a little and he's unhappy right here at the bottom of your screen getting a field goal range that's five intercepts an interception for Dallas today and now Dallas takes over on the 50 yard line with one minute to play in the first overtime three I say first overtime story because when neither team scored in the last minute they're going into the second over there Hall a rookie and also a basketball player at Wake Forest and a football in he's try to basketball player - first time for Dallas on the 50 yard line they got their big backpack fill in again this Optima Clinton the Clinton gets three yards to the Houston 47th second down and seven ago there's the time running out of this sudden-death period teams have changed goals by the way at the end of the period that would give Dallas the wind advantage in the second quarter Houston is hard the wind in the fourth period of the regulation and in the first period here of overtime so they've made that decision stand up on the cake time is running out as the curtain takes the hand off there's the end of the first overtime period they'll now change goals and start the second overtime period with the first team of stores winning the game saw the score here at the end of the first sudden-death period where a little football history is being made today in Houston Texas to score the Dallas Texans 17 the Houston Oilers 17 now ladies and gentlemen going into the sixth period turn I wasn't waiting for you to say that's the end of the fifth quarter going into the third half third dimes seven the goal for Dallas on the Houston 48 [Applause] after rolling out competing at the strikes at the 45 40 bike goes down on the 38 here the light rain is falling first down and it was a big play for Dallas they third him seven and they got a first down on it sudden-death first team of scores wins the American Football League championship Dallas had the first down in the houston 38 yard line [Applause] it's been a remarkable game we haven't had an injury in the game we've had very few substitutes on either the offensive defensive team and both clubs are still going full-tilt we've got a lot of young football players in the both team their spikes getting outside of the 35 to the 30 25 20 and such the gel sow in real scoring position at the 18 Jack spike injured a bad leg injury earlier that allowed Ricky fitters for Clinton to take his job away from him but today was Burford the ACE receiver a flanker back on the sidelines Dallas was done with two fullbacks in it back they learned they have come through Curt incidentally there has not been an injury or a major substitution in this ball game Dallas has a first down on the Houston 19 and Dallas brothers saying young there is 23 and a half years of age up to the line of scrimmage Boston fire suspect Chris and his he-man he was really open at the five probably could have scored at least bina kasih ball it would have been a first down and goal to go for Dallas that'll make a coach's heart stop thanks Graham dusted then second down and ten the goal for Dallas on the Houston 19 in the second sudden-death overtime period of course when you overrun the passer as Houston did there then you're in real danger because he pops out he's got that much extra time to pick an open receiver in it and if they keep running as they should do they're bound to be open somebody if you get that much time game aside 17 the 17 Lenny Dawson after McClinton stop told by Bill herzman while still on the 19 yard line third and 10 and of course the Dallas a doesn't move for the first down here they'll go for the field goal that could win the game and if he doesn't throw this time he'll run for position probably just right in the middle of the field that a fairly good angle right now Paul we need to be about 2 or 3 yards tortoise to the near sideline and if you write the middle move it over three yards in one inch teams now have played more than 77 minutes a day of hard bruising football areas sneaking forward getting in field goal position picked up about 3 yard the quarterback sneak exhausting the angle slightly to the middle of the field to get that ball in position and now delicious field goal that will win the American League Championship there on the 18 yard line Tommy Booker will attempt the field goal and I think it's pretty safe to predict about an 11 man rush by Houston when Dawson will hole that's the ballast point Dallas is calling for timeout they want to get everything set for this field goal attempt that if they would make it will give them the championship and the game well while we have a moment here while in Dawson and his torch Hank Stram confer we want to remind you that I'm Sunday January 13th many of the stars you've seen in this championship game today and other outstanding stars of the American Football League will be in action at San Diego for the American League all-star game it will be telecast on ABC television and tickets are on sale at convenient locations in the San Diego area and of course Kurt don't forget the big Orange Bowl on January 1st where am I along with the great ballgame we'll see that fabulous halftime show of Ernie sylars and of course we'll be seeing President Jackson Baldwin and his gable staff of Beverly Benjamin and Norris Anderson all right fourth down Dallas on the 18 yard line of Houston's in the second overtime period can win the game that this field goal is good the game of fact 1717 tossing a hole in the 24 and watch it the big rush around the kicker's up they kick his goal on a 20 [Music] courageous ly hell there's their quote tank slam carried off the field and this was gotta be one of the greatest football games I've ever seen Paul that was about the wildest finish we'll ever see and of course Hank Stram is beside himself I imagine Popeye he's trying to congratulate him out there but he can't get near him because he's been carried away by his own players this game actually was played 77 minutes and 54 seconds of playing time a field goal came with 12 minutes and 50 seconds to go in the second overtime period dallas won the first half 17 to nothing Houston won the second half 17 to nothing and ended up in a tie they were scoreless in the first overtime period and Tommy brookers included the field there DJ Holub the plate that's a great defensive game for Dallas Houston had its defensive heroes in their second half their line was magnificent and we just beat the darkness here in Houston as Houston's reign as American League football champions has come to an end they'd won at the first two years in the third year of this young league Dallas has won the championship and right now let's go down to jackpot we're in the playing field as you know and here's Hank Stram the coaches are now champion Dallas Texans and Hank congratulations thank you very much jack it's a great thrill and I am I just can't compliment this quite enough to see the way they came back to stay on the ball game and the second half like they did it finally came back and white it was a great tribute I think to our squad and we're just a promise can we that we can win the championship and bring it back to Dallas Texas here's some of the ball players here here's Jerry corny loser I play a lot offense today I'll tell you what it was tough Houston's got a tremendous ball regulation Fred's a tight end for the Dallas Texans by the ball game Fred won't have too much to do before you realize what happened at least please I'll be home any choice another guy standing behind me he played quite a ballgame maybe Jackie your pup you caught the orders on a blitz and that's what won the ballgame for you aside from the field work well we've been blitzing all the second half and we knew was going to catch him after a while we were getting wonder about that fourth quarter

afternoon yes I was another one earlier this year the one ball game the closing seconds you want I play New York when you beat New York 21 same thing didn't compare to this one other here's Jim Tyler over here offensive tackle Jim good to see a fellow what about this we ever been involved in anything like the greatest race win of my football career right now and we've said we've said very little about the Houston ballclub and they really work they're a fine team they really are did you think perhaps they had things going their way in that second we almost gave it to on the second half we did Kimmo what about the cost of the coin is it before the overtime pay was that simply out and I'm not mistaken well I'm glad I'm glad we're after sake you know he's kind of hard to think but it turned out right [Music] that's about it for the people that we've had down on the field so it's back up to you very Gaddy thanks to Jack buck down in the field for his fine job today and so Dallas wins the championship and let's get for Christmas final comments any face maybe they have in the state of Texas but they haven't nationally they played a brilliant ballgame Dallas played a wonderful ballgame

American Football League championship once again the final score the Dallas Texans 20 the Houston Oilers 17
