Don Chandler will tee up the ball at the 40-yard line.

And the question now is, can the Dallas Cowboys overcome this very, very cold weather?

The Packers?

Well, we hope that they're used to it.

Sim Stokes and Craig Bainham are going deep for the Dallas Cowboys on this first kickoff.

Chandler has the ball set at the 40-yard line, and if it doesn't explode on impact, this football game will be underway.

He moves forward, gets the kick into the air.

It's coming down short to Stokes at the 5-yard line, up to the 10, the 15, the 20, to the 25, to the 30, keeps his feet, and is rolled to the ground at about the 33-yard line, and getting up from the tackle for the Green Bay Packers.

We have Bob Hyland and Willie Wood, Hyland and Wood, made the tackle.

And now, the Packer defense huddles, as does the cowboy offense,

and we're just about set for our first play from scrimmage in this football game.

Chuck Johnson will be working with us this afternoon on this broadcast.

Don Meredith has the team set out of the eye formation.

Reeves goes to

left side and they're in a slot formation already as Don Meredith goes back to throw a

pass on the first play from scrimmage fires it is complete to Bob Hayes across the

40 yard line to about the 44 and Willie Wood knocks him out of bounds. Officials

bring the ball in and it will be spotted down at the 43-yard line.

And we will have a measurement to see whether or not we have a first down on the first play from scrimmage.

So Don Meredith wasted no time.

He sent the Cowboys out into a double wing and fired a pass to Bob Hayes.

First and ten. Willie Davis was over over checking it out for the Packers now the chain gang returns to the far side of the field Cowboys come out
