Football at Yale

[bulldog10jw]

A 4 part history. Looks like these films were made after the 1960 season. Hard to believe I never saw these before. Some really interesting old films (or maybe only interesting to me)

Awesome.

We all owe a debt to Yale football. Too many fail to realize that there would be no "Power 5" without Yale; in fact there'd be no football at all as we know it.

I'm going to finish watching each and every one of those videos.

Great films.Nostalgic for me who lived 1/4 mile from Bowl.Teams of 1960's and early 70's were my kid days.Remember well all the great players and battles-particularly 1960 undefeated team with Pyle and Balme and Singelton at QB and Mercein vs Cosmo of Princeton and their single wing with his running ability as he ran wild in 2nd half after 14-14 halftime.Tigers won big on that day in 1964 as the unstoppable Cosmo romped.

32counter,

I grew up about 12 miles or so from the Bowl. The first game I attended was in 1959, a 17-0 win against Brown, so I have many of the same memories as you. I remember Iacavazzi tossing the ball into the stands in '64 and Dowling's 'retaliation" in Palmer Stadium 3 years later. Lot's of great memories and fun times. I also became a bit of a student of the history of Yale football, which is why I'm surprised I missed these films back in the day. Thank goodness for YouTube.

I have some highlight films that I purchased from James Camera in New Haven. Not particular games. These were the yearly highlight films narrated by Dick Galliette. I think I have '68, '72, '76.

Awesome watch! Thanks for posting!! I did not go to a PL or IL school obviously but thankfully have had the opportunity to visit most of these schools. For that I feel very fortunate....

[RichH2]

Thank you. Very enjoyable to view.

One of my late partners played for Yale in the early 1960's at end. He used to regale us with some of the stories and this brought back those memories. Thanks.

Bogus Megapardus,

I don't really know for sure. I have never heard his name connected to Yale in any way.

I think he is just a sports historian.

I'll ask around and see what I can find out.

Too bad you didn't get the ones between '68 and '72, when my team beat Yale each year. Ha.

I wish I had '69. Even though Yale lost to Dartmouth, Dartmouth lost to Princeton (and Yale beat Princeton) so there was a 3 way tie for the title. It was supposed to be a down year after Dowling and Hill graduated.

And in '72, Dartmouth won the championship even though Yale killed them. In those days it was very unusual for Yale to beat Dartmouth,. Princeton, and Harvard the same year, yet lose to Cornell and Penn. I think that was the year Dartmoth won the championship because they had a tie. 5-1-1 vs Yale's 5-2

Thank you, bulldog. I guess Marazzi simply is a Yale fan. Nice to see! He's done a fantastic job.

Thank you, bulldog. I guess Marazzi simply is a Yale fan. Nice to see! He's done a fantastic job.

His interest in Yale may stem from the fact that he lives in Ansonia, one of the premier football towns in the state, close to New Haven, and the hometown of former Yale running back Alex Thomas who set numerous state records while attending Ansonia High School.

Just speculation on my part.

[ColgateTD]

Saw many of the IL games back in the day, particularly tailgating at Princeton when Dick Kazmier was running wild in the 50s. Also saw Cosmo vs Colgate and the Yale game, Dowling when he played Brown during his last year, etc. Who was that guy at Cornell who set all the rushing records?...help me out please....(senior moment). Went on to star in TV series....In any case saw him at Palmer Stadium too. Thanks for the excellent videos bulldog.

Ed Marinaro.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

He's not the only actor who played Ivy League football. Dean Cain, an incarnation of Superman, played at Princeton in the 1980s. There were rumors that he and Brooke Shields were an item for a while.

Dartmouth's Brian Mann was a stand-in in multiple football movies, including for Adam Sandler in the Longest Yard. Mann said the Romanowski and Bosworth weren't acting when they hit him very hard. Mann was Dartmouth's director of football operations until recently, a very good qb, and played for some professional team in LA for awhile. Marinaro was one of the main characters in the Spike TV series Blue Mountain State, which is now Netflix. Blue Mtn St is a school, and Ed is the coach of the football team. Blue Mtn St is going to do a movie soon. They just raised a good chunk of money for the movie in a crowdfunding raise. Ed had me send some info/link to some of the Dartmouth crowd of our era, saying "the Dartmouth guys owed him something because alot of us made our names beating him up".

More info for you, Bogie

http://sportzedge.com/2014/08/12/a-bowl-full-of-memories-a-tribute-by-ansonias-rich-marazzi-to-the-history-of-yale-football-and-the-100th-anniversary-of-its-famous-bowl/

The author, though he did not attend Yale, was brought up only about twelve miles away from the campus and even a few miles closer to the Bowl itself. As a youth he was first taken to the Bowl by his father. He grew up a fan of the Bulldogs and learned to have respect for their hallowed home. In the introduction he describes himself as a “Yale football junkie.”

He still lives in Ansonia, which makes it easy for him never to miss a game in the Bowl.

To complete the book, he said, required almost four years, not so much to write it, but to garner and verify the information from so many sources. The result is a compilation of material that has never before been published in a single volume, and in some cases, never been published at all.
