1. Does anyone know if footage of these two programs exists and, more importantly, how about one goes to finding it? Notre Dame and Georgetown University have provided me with a number of photographs from the various programs but video...film...of these would be fascinating to view. We contacted the fine folks at ?collegebowl.com? and although they do not have archives going that far back, they did mention contacting the various schools as schools purchased copies of the programs. Neither ND or GU has such a copy. Oh well. College Bowl was one of many programs whose archive was erased/destroyed/disposed in the 1970's when it was determined that the cost of maintaining the storage for the archives far exceeded the value of the program. At the time, video tapes were roughly the size of four large city phone books and could only hold an hour of programming. Because of this, many programs we consider "important" today are lost, including the first two Super Bowls, many World Series, almost all non-prime time programming, news broadcasts, etc. Here's what I know of GE College Bowl that exists somewhere: *Temple v. UC-Santa Barbara (early-mid 60's) -> Museum of Television and Radio (New York City and Los Angeles), UCLA Film Library *Oregon St. v. ? (early 60's) -> Oregon State Univ. archives *Kenyon v. ? (1963) -> Kenyon College Archives *DePauw v. ? (1962) -> DePauw Library Archives *Barnard v. So. Cal (1959) -> UCLA Film Library *Rutgers v. Colgate (1960) -> UCLA Film Library *USMA v. USNA (1961) -> UCLA Film Library *Brooklyn v. Detroit (1962) -> UCLA Film Library *Bowdoin v. Butler (1963) -> UCLA Film Library *UCLA v. Ohio Wesleyan (1964) -> UCLA Film Library *UCLA v. Rice (1966) -> UCLA Film Library *Brown v. Northwestern (1968) plus clips (10th anniversary show) -> UCLA Film Library *The entire 1955-56 season of the radio version is at the Library of Congress I've seen two of the above episodes and once you see those, you won't complain about hose questions, slow reading or non-canonical answers again. --Mike Burger
