In this interview from December 24th, 1950, Harry Wismer brings us a thrilling account of a historic sports event between the Cleveland Browns and the Los Angeles Rams at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland. The game was played in frigid conditions, with the Rams leading 28 to 27 in the closing minutes.

The Browns had the ball with only minutes remaining and marched down the field with Otto Graham at the helm. Graham executed a series of pinpoint passes, bringing the Browns to the Rams' 15-yard line. With just 33 seconds left, the pressure was immense.

Graham continued to lead the charge, delivering a crucial pass to Dub Jones at the line of scrimmage. Jones sprinted downfield, advancing the Browns to the 15-yard line. With the clock ticking down, the Browns were within striking distance of victory, and the outcome hung in the balance.

This game was a dramatic showdown that showcased the resilience and determination of both teams, making it a momentous event in sports history. The Cleveland Browns' remarkable performance in the face of adversity and their never-give-up attitude left an indelible mark on the world of sports.

In this interview, conducted by Keith Morris of Sports Illustrated sometime in 1970, the guest is Johnny Havlicek of the Boston Celtics. The interview opens with Keith addressing the Celtics' recent playoff misses and inquires whether the team's mix of youth and experience can change that trajectory. Havlicek expresses confidence in their ability to make the playoffs, citing the blend of seasoned players and younger talents who are gaining confidence.

The conversation then shifts to the topic of injuries affecting star players like Jerry West, Dave Bing, Gus Johnson, and Pete Marovitch. Keith questions whether basketball is becoming too rough. Havlicek acknowledges the physical nature of the sport but attributes injuries to factors like relaxation during the offseason and preseason, emphasizing the need for consistent effort.

The interview delves into the growth of Dave Cowans, last year's co-rookie of the year, and Havlicek notes his improved confidence, possibly spurred by the accolade.

The interview wraps up with Keith thanking John Havlicek for his insights and wishing him and the Boston Celtics good luck.

Overall, the interview provides a glimpse into the Celtics' prospects, the challenges of injuries in basketball, and the development of promising players, offering valuable insights for basketball enthusiasts.
