The second segment shows footage of a 1957 Dallas, Texas tornado in progress, and supplements it with an interview with a meteorologist who discussed what weather patterns, if any, are controllable. The last segment explores the early years of football, featuring such players as Red Grange, Albie Booth, Elmer Layden, and Coach Knute Rockne as he gave one of his famous locker room "pep talks."
