"What down is it?"
"Third down," says Getchell.
Friedlander calls for a running

the pileup and Carnegie prepares
to line up for a fourth-down

year.
That quick mental reverse by
Getchell from third to fourth
down was tabbed the season's
principal sports oddity by 38 of
the 70 contributing sports editors
in the eighth annual Associated
Press poll. While few of the
critics attempted to rate the
"freak incidents" in the usual 1-
2-3 order, and a ranking there
fore was impossible, there was a
far greater vote for Getchell's
momentary lapse than for any
other incident.
