Many many years ago the ground was frozen and like playing on ice.

At half time one of the teams put on tennis shoes and won the game.

New York Giants vs Chicago Cardinals????

That was the 1934 Championship, the Giants versus Da Bears.

An ice storm the night before turned the old Polo Grounds into a skating rink.

A coach had an idea to switch to basketball sneakers and an assistant was sent by subway to procure some at a local college. He got back in time for the fourth quarter, as I recall, and the Giants went on to stomp the Bears with their new-found traction.
