Football Show Spotlights Harvard

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Harvard will be one of the teams featured in a CBS-TV broadcast, "Football: 100 Years Old and Still Kicking." at 10 p.m. tonight.

Beginning with films shot in 1903 by Thomas Edison, the program will study football in relation to the American way of life: its philosophy, the events which have marked its 100-year existence, and its changes as a mirror of our society.

No Padding

The CBS special will differ from most sports shows in that it is a critique, not a glorification, of football. The show has no interviews as such. It will concentrate instead on famous plays that have shaped football history and casual locker-room scenes.
