- Transferred direct from a 2" quad tape, here's about 56 minutes of an NCAA college football game held at Iowa Stadium where the Iowa Hawkeyes hosted the Michigan State Spartans, as aired over the ABC Network and, therefore, in Chicago over WLS Channel 7. Announcers were Chris Schenkel and Bud Wilkinson.
(Technical Note: The main font used for the supers, football scores, players and positions, etc., is Grotesque No. 9 Italic.)
The tape comes in as we are in the 3rd quarter and headed for a commercial break.
Next, the recording resumes a few seconds after the action starts again; within this quarter, college football scores of the following games also played on this day are shown: Colgate vs. Brown, Columbia vs. Rutgers, Cornell vs. Yale, Dartmouth vs. Harvard, Boston College vs. Army, Virginia vs. Navy, and Pennsylvania vs. Princeton.
Recording cuts for a bit after 3rd down, 4 yards, and resumes some time afterwards; more scores are shown: Duke vs. North Carolina State, Wake Forest vs. North Carolina, Vanderbilt vs. Florida, Kentucky vs. Georgia, Illinois vs. Ohio State, Purdue vs. Northwestern, Auburn vs. L.S.U., Indiana vs. Wisconsin, Kansas vs. Iowa State, plus an update on Columbia vs. Rutgers; the 3rd quarter finally ends.
[19:07] - Incomplete commercial break (person getting up to turn on TV or change channel) before recording cuts out to black
Start of 4th quarter, with message on scoreboard: "Chevrolet Congratulates UI-MSU-NCAA and ABC Too." The Hawkeyes band play after a field goal, and a promo for an upcoming boxing match (USA vs. USSR) from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas is mentioned to air on Wide World of Sports at 5:00pm (Chicago time), with Howard Cosell and Cassius Clay (a.k.a. Muhammad Ali) to call the play-by-play at ringside; following which they get back to the action. Updated scores shown are Indiana vs. Wisconsin and Kansas vs. Iowa State, plus Oklahoma vs. Kansas State; time out with 12:18 to go
[24:54] - Incomplete commercial for Chevrolet Caprice (recording cuts out after a few seconds)
We come in midway through resumption of play; at about 25:20, notice the RCA TK-41C camera which was among those that covered this game (ABC, at the time, had three active brands of color cameras: that, the Norelco PC-60 and PC-70, and General Electric PE-250 and PE-350; it was not uncommon for some ABC studios to have a combo of these cameras). More scores: Oklahoma State vs. Nebraska, Michigan vs. Minnesota, Texas Tech vs. S.M.U., Rice vs. Texas, and Missouri vs. Colorado. Around 26:52, we see Iowa's head coach Ray Nagel on what looks like a portable phone. Western Union is quoted as verifying the final score of the Oklahoma vs. Kansas State game.
[32:26] - Commercial: Sunoco Custom Blending Gasoline - "People in the know, they're moving to Sunoco" (the only intact break/commercial on the whole tape; can be seen on its own here: • ABC Network - NCAA Foo... )
With 9:58 to go on the clock (though much longer in football), play resumes; Nagel is seen from the back around 34:00; around 36:20, we see Michigan State head cough Duffy Daughterty; after a time out and a studio segment that is not in this recording, more action on the gridiron; around 40:07 the audio seems to switch from the 5 kHz telco audio to the relatively richer 15 kHz audio, but around 40:28 reverts to the lower-fidelity telco sound. Around 41:47, the US-USSR boxing meet is promoted once again.
After the recording resumes following a brief break around 46:20, the higher-quality audio is heard once more, but around 47:04 is brought back down again, then the audio picks up at 47:50 but goes back down at 48:37 with 1:36 to go in play. Michigan State Coach Daugherty is seen again at the 50:00 mark; go to 50:17 for the first game-changing score (which Chris giving points to the coaching staff of both teams), and what would be the final score at 52:12, followed by the Hawkeyes' band playing.
After another commercial break (not on this recording), the remainder is seen up to 56 seconds on the clock before the game ends.
This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, October 25th 1969 during the 1:30pm to 5:00pm timeframe.

I was 8 yrs old then and lived a few blocks away from the stadium, I remember hearing the crowd cheers when a game was going on. Never saw a game.
I don't really care for football but everything around this game is totally fascinating to see in good quality color, I love these 50 year old master tapes
I do care for football...and its the biggest irrational waste of emotion i have ever expended. Believe me when i say that you are saving yourself a lot of needless frustration
@@jamesbowers5946 agreed
I understand that as late as 1971 or '72, some of ABC's remote trucks were using the RCA TK-41C's that they purchased in 1966, which were practically the last of that particular, yet pioneering, model of color TV cameras produced.
TK-41’s were great!
Man those old quads look so good. The reality is nothing was better until betacam.
25:34 Bud Wilkinson, "he's happy to be high". It truely was the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
Later HC Dennis Green RB Iowa, awesome
As a younger person, it's so jarring to see the terrible landing Iowa #82 Ray Manning had after the catch (46:51), and the instantly obvious concussion symptoms he was experiencing, only to be shoved around and held up by teammates, in order to keep him in the game.
Exactly man he should've been taken out
zbsx - Great observation, thanks - I'm not that astute of a football watcher so I wouldn't have picked up on that.
Rich and Ron Saul were team mates with Terry Hanratty in HS in Butler PA. Never heard of that town a couple months ago.
Bud Wilkinson sounds like a golf commentator
This seems almost too good for TK-41s. No overscanned black/ multicolor areas in the corners; registration close to perfect. I see a little horizontal non-linearity on the left edge, and I think that gives it away as TK-41. I suspect the original was noisier, but the digital coding here is removing some or most of it (I note some coding artifacts on the grass).
EDIT: also wanted to mention the edge ringing on the quad tape.
It's also interesting to note the limited camera placement and the style of narration compared to today.
Wilde world of sports pro bowlers tour voice..Chris S.💪🏿💯
Great picture quality for such a old film! (just over 50 years ago)
The reason it looks so great is that it is not film, but videotape. So much old stuff was only saved on Kinescope film - but when you see how the original videotape looked, you can see how much of a difference it makes. Which makes it even sadder that so many original Quad videotape recordings were wiped or junked. :-(
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV - Amen to that. And the vast difference in camera quality because of the three cameras ABC used. What would have been the overhead camera - GE PE-350 or 250? Norelco PC-60/70? Anyone have any idea as to how pic quality of each camera would have registered outside?
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV Love this! Is there any basketball in your collection as well?
How stupid do you have to be to call videotape "film?" 🙄😒
@@dariowiter3078 - What is the point of insulting another stranger over nothing on the Internet? People interchange the two terms all the time but it is rarely taken literally.
Was this recorded by a WLS engineer? Obviously it's a feed recording because of the classic phone line audio.
In 2006, KETV, the ABC station in Omaha, re-aired the 1978 Nebraska vs. Oklahoma game from a tape that was recorded from the station feed (local promos were intact on the recording) to what seems to have been 1" videotape (the vertical positioning glitched out at one point, but this was not accompanied by any of the classic 2" glitches). Wasn't U-matic because it was actually watchable.
VectraQS - It was almost definitely recorded at WLS-TV - I would assume by some engineer or staffer since operating a Quad wasn't as easy as hitting a Umatic button. (even though Umatic wasn't invented yet in 1969.)
The person I got this from said they bought it some years back at an estate sale for Bruce Newton, who had a long career in Chicago broadcasting, including time at WLS-TV (or WBKB-TV prior to 1968). It was supposedly found in a barn or shed that was not protected from the elements. We had to have the tape professionally cleaned and restored before it could be transferred. No idea why it was recorded or saved. Perhaps it was just meant to capture highlights for the news? And perhaps it was saved just under the idea that it could be reused to record over at some point since Quad was expensive.
Holy smokes. I saw this game on tv. Thanks for posting. I liked Cilek.
MSU had beaten eventual Big Ten champ Michigan the week before (the Wolverines would lose the Rose Bowl, of course), but the Iowa game began a four-game losing streak for the Spartans; they would finish the season 4-6, while Iowa ended up 5-5.
The crowd noise is deafening!
do you by any chance have a videotape color telecast of the pro bowlers tour on abc from the early 70's late 60's?
Them having to verify the OU-KSU score says everything about Kansas State football in the years before a man named Billy Dean Snyder stepped on campus
Wait, the Penalty Flags were White and Red back then? (Obviously they're yellow now)
For some reason, the super-telephoto shots of the crowd seem to have terrible registration - or could that be the lens quality? See 0:42/56:05, woman in sunglasses, and look at the edges of the picture.
It's odd how differently the players carried themselves 50 years ago. Watch the quarterback sack at 3:15 - there's no celebrating, not even a pat on the back from his teammates.
IIRC they weren't even called Sacks at the time. Just Tackles of The QB. A guy named Norm Willey on The Eagles had one magical NFL Sunday where he totaled anywhere between 12 and 17 of them!😂😏🦅🏈B.W.
Wonderful camera shot of that attractive lady with the sunglasses(0:33-0:51). 🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️ 👸👸👸👸👸 😁😁😁😁😁
Watching paint dry was more exciting than listening to Bud Wilkenson's analysis of a football game
But he knows the game and is easy on the ears.
Bud Wilkinson big ego...lousy announcer😢
I see Iowa is still the same on offense. Lol
