With 0:45 to go, quarterback Armstrong threw a bomb to halfback Randy Kaiser. The ball made it to the LaGrange twenty-five, but was underthrown, and went right into the defender's hands. However, Kaiser tipped it out of the LaGrange player's hands, and then tipped it again causing it to float five yards further downfield where he reached behind him, pulled it in with one hand, and then finally, by this time on the 15 yard line, tucked it away and ran for the touchdown and the tie.

Wow.
If that happened today, that would grace the opening line of every ESPN show.

Sounds like something you would see in a movie.

Looked like AL BUNDY, HIGHSCHOOL SUPERSTAR!

The footage from 1929 just looks like a bunch of guys wearing the same uni's running all over the place! The game has certainly changed since then, interesting stuff.

Best part is that it was a Halfback.
Interesting formation they got there.
