Grid Fracas: Mob Storms Field As Giants Top Browns 48-7 The New York Giants win the pro Eastern Conference championship in a awesome display of gridiron power as they down their arch rivals the Cleveland Browns, 48-7, but their brilliant showing is far overshadowed by the frenzied mob of fans that storms the field when there are still 113 seconds left to play. The 20-minute fracas is the worst in any sports arena in many years. Yankee Stadium (?), full. Both football teams run onto field. Frank Gifford is playing for the Giants. Receiver catches difficult pass -- funny gestures by referee as he signals the receiver had possession. Gifford scores. Morrison (?). MS spectators cheering, excited. Interception is run in for touchdown. Bob Mitchell runs a long way to score for Cleveland. Scoreboard with holiday greetings. Crowds rush onto the field and look like they're trying to tear down the goalposts. Crazy fans. Chaos. Policeman (?) steps in to break up a fight between two men.
