What's on TV? Sunday, October 9, 1966



I've said this before, and I'll probably say it again (when I run out of other things to say, but I can never get used to the idea of a major sporting event starting at 10:30 in the morning (and this is coming from a man who used to get up at 9:30 Saturday mornings to watch English soccer). What it does, among other things, is point out just how big this country is: a five-hour difference between England and New York, and a three-hour difference between New York and Los Angeles. But let's take just a tick to look at that "How to Watch Football" special on KGO at 4:00 p.m. "An inside look at football is provided by three coaches." The three happen to be: Michigan State's Duffy Daugherty and UCLA's Tommy Prothro, who faced each other in the Rose Bowl back in January, and the legendary Bear Bryant of Alabama, on his way to setting the all-time victory record for coaches. Well, you know what they say—if you're going to learn, learn from the best. This week's issue is the Northern California edition.
