REFEREE JACK VAUGHN
The Fog Bowl was a playoff game between the Chicago Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles in American football. The latter performed admirably until the second quarter, when they lost sight of the crowd and first-down markers.
The dense fog made visibility so poor that no one could get to the end zone, as shown in this photo. After an attempt by Eagles placekicker Luis Zendejas to score, referee Jack Vaughn can be seen trying to pierce his vision over Soldier Field, tracing the projectile of the ball.
JOHN HAVLICEK AND CHET WALKER
Because of the high level of competition, you never know what will happen in an NBA game, where so many factors can change the outcome of a presumed victory. On April 5, 1965, the Boston Celtics needed only to inbound the ball and wait until the final five seconds to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 110-109 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Bill Russell, on the other hand, would cause a turnover after passing a ball that hit a wire, giving the 76ers one last chance to win it.
As he guarded Chet Walker, Havlicek pulled a ruse from his sleeve. He spun around and leaped just as the ball was thrown inbounds, tipping it to his teammate and ensuring a Boston victory. The Celtics went on to win the NBA Finals against the Lakers.
