notice no arm tackling or leading with the helmet. they actually wrapped up the running back the way you're supposed to. great to see. coaches nowadays should show this video.
@lilSB52 yeah, the quarterback was a "blocking back" back in the day. See the guy lined up behind the guard? That's him. Basically, back then your "tailback" was today's quarterback, but they had to be multitalented back then. They had to be able to run, throw, kick, and play defense as well.
Notice there is no chain gang, just a couple of guys squatting down, Also, on the last play on the video, which is a punt, the other team jumps offside, clearly makes contact, then gets back, but there is no penalty.
Such a treat to see such a high-quality color video this old.
GREAT video - single unit football played the way the game was meant to be played. Note how the non starters are all sitting on the benches. Not one is standing because they know they cannot play under exisitng rules of that era.
I wonder if either team had cheerleaders. Be nice to see what they looked like.

Very cool to see this in color. For 1941, this is pretty good quality.

Yeah I know, if I didn't know any better, I'd swear this game is from 1961. The quality is that good!
