Guess The Game…
…From The Scoreboard
Today’s scoreboard comes from Christopher Hickey.
The premise of the game (GTGFTS) is simple: I’ll post a scoreboard and you guys simply identify the game depicted. In the past, I don’t know if I’ve ever completely stumped you (some are easier than others).
Here’s the Scoreboard. In the comments below, try to identify the game (date & location, as well as final score). If anything noteworthy occurred during the game, please add that in (and if you were AT the game, well bonus points for you!):
Please continue sending these in! You’re welcome to send me any scoreboard photos (with answers please), and I’ll keep running them.

Dallas Texans at Oakland Raiders, Sunday September 24th 1961 at Candlestick Park. Texans win, 42-35.
obviously texans at oakland so 1960-1962. game score implies could only be 1961.
september 24, 1961
dallas texans at oakland raiders
interesting is that it looks like both teams scored 8 points in final 4:45.
Sunday Sep 24, 1961, Dallas Texans 42, Oakland Raiders 35. Candlestick Park.
That’s the one and only Bob Coolbaugh scoring on a 28 yard pass from Tom Flores (Oakland would convert a two-point conversion to take a one-point lead but Dallas would score again to win – with a two pointer of their own – 42-35). Presumably Dave Grayson’s obvious face mask infraction was penalty-declined.
September 24, 1961 Candlestick Park. Oakland’s coach was Marty Feldman. Not *that* Marty Feldman.
