Thank you. Of course, the Vikings have lost three games here this year, but that is very unusual.

They enjoy playing.

Of course, if they win today, they'll play the NFC championship game here. Sergio Albert, who is strictly a kickoff man to the Cardinal Sutton O.A., McCannahan, and McCollum are deep for the Viking. All the way. Moving forward. There's the kick. Blind driver. Deep, coming over to the near side, McCollum, at the 7, to the 10, to the 15 to the 20, 25. Dancing away at the 30, slips and goes down right there on the near sideline. Trying to turn away, Jerry Hammond was down to make the stop for the big red of St. Louis. The referee today is Chuck Heberling. The umpire is Lou Pulasie. Headlinesman, Burl Toller, the line judge, Red Cachin, the back judge, Don Wedge. The field judge is Tony Scover and the all-inutist Bob Rice. A 23-yard kickoff return by Sudden Sam McCollum, who had a brilliant game last week at Kansas City. Both ball clubs 10 and four. The Vikings won a mid-season Monday night game at St. Louis, 28, 24. They also defeated the Cardinal 1410 in a preseason game. Why to the left is Gilliam. Why to the near side is life?

I'm sure they're using cleats right now, but you're going to see a lot of slips today. Gilliam wide to the near side, right, splits wide to the far side left, Duke backfield behind Fran's second and ten. The bike's just shy at their own 30-yard line. Fran is fast. He slides to the left side. The battles across the 35 their own 30-yard line. Fran, just Ozzy, slides to the left side. Battles across the 35, off to the 37-yard line goes. Ten-year veteran, Dave Osborne. Typical Ozzy run off the left side behind good blocking. Chuck Goodrum, Andy Marr, on the left side, just zone blocking. And they really push that defensive right side of St. Louis back.

It's going to bring up about third to three.
