  • John Meyer you have the 29 World Series Also, and the 29 Blackhawks ! Are you able to get the exact dates ? Im sure you have for the football , and World Series, but were you able to date the Blackhawks game ?

  • I cannot date the Blackhawks game. There was no label on the can except "1929 Sports." There is no other footage of hockey other than what I posted, and as you can see, it is very dark, without much detail (the baseball and football are exceedingly clear and crisp when you see the original). Without a scoreboard or some other set of clues, no one can date it.

  • Wow!! This would have been fun to see live!

    The film quality is still good for 1929! Or had this been transferred to new film/video over the years?

  • This is a transfer from the original 16mm film that has been sitting in an attic all these years. The YouTube version is fuzzy, but the digital transfer is quite sharp.

  • Were they using the shotgun formation or was I seeing things.I thought Landry developed that.Was it in use prior to Cowboys?Great footage!

  • The shotgun formation was one of the "original" ways of playing football. It fell out of favor after the T-formation was invented, only to be "re-discovered" by Landry and others. A few East Coast colleges continued to use it throughout the dead period (e.g., Princeton).

  • The Ernie Nevers 40 points record will NEVER be broken!

  • old Comiskey Park. what memories!

  • Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm, ok, these "hi tech football offenses of today......." kind of funny. It really is. Isn't this the wildcat? HA HA HA How football goes back to the good old days

  • Was this pre-inthegrasp days?

  • Actually to the one poster-the 40-6 game was a win by the Cardinals, with Ernie Nevers scoring all 40 Cardinal points-6 touchdowns and 4 extra points.

  • "Today's paid attendance... 12. The Cardinals and Bears thank you very much."

  • Love it.
