The passing of QB Johnny Unitas and the Baltimore Colts' powerful running game overwhelmed the College All-Stars by the score of 29-0 at Soldier Field in Chicago. Unitas threw three TD passed in the first half to Ray Berry, L.G. Dupre and Jim Mutscheller. Notre Dame fullback Nick Pietrosante gave the All-Stars their only semblance of an offense that night.

Sam Williams was on one of the best D lines in NFL history with Darras McCord, Alex Karras and Roger Brown.

I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, since 1963. My team of course hadn't been formed yet, but there are several players here that eventually became Cowboys. What a great QB Johnny Unitas was....the GOAT. God bless our pro football players from a by-gone era 🏈

These games were great - loved those college uniforms. It was always the first game of the year even before the preseason started and the teams played to win something nowadays would never happen

You can have the newbies. I'll take Johnny U., the prototype of the modern QB who changed the game like no one at the position before or since. What a treat to watch him weave his magic! #GOAT

This Baltimore team was very special. At every position on the field. You simply couldn't fake it during this period. It was a much smaller league and everybody had talent

My first professional in person football game was at the LA Coliseum in December of 1959. The Colts killed the Rams that day. I recently found the highlights of that game on KZfaq. When my dad and I returned home we found an empty house. My stepmother used our absence as an opportunity to move out. All that was left were me and my dad's clothes and a few pieces of furniture.

Awesome footage. Thanks for sharing the game. The All Stars seemed to lack a ton of talent at most important positions.

This is the only ABC radio broadcast I know. Does anyone have more ABC radio broadcasts from the AFL, College Football, or the College All-Star Game. Unlike NBC Radio, many people did not preserve ABC's radio broadcast>

All of these old All Star Game films show just how really bad the lighting was at Soldier Field. It was so poor the game was telecast in black and white for years because the lighting couldn't support color video at the time. The broadaster even ran a banner on the screen advising viewers not to adjust their television sets.

This was one of the least talented College All-Star teams, especially at the skill positions. Only about a dozen players or so made a dent in the NFL -- Baker, Dowler, Dove, James, Morrison, Petitbon, Pietrosante, Schafrath, Stacy , Wetoska, Williams, Wooten . . .

It's amazing what a stupid idea this was: to allow college football players to not only play grown ass men, but the reigning world champions. I remember they finally stopped this series in the '70's when serious weight training among professional teams made the physical gulf even greater between amateur and pro.

@Musicvidsetc 2 ай бұрын

It wasn't that stupid throughout its early period in the 30's and 40's and to some degree, into the 50's. In the 30's many of the best players in college did NOT go into the NFL whose teams were often fighting off financial problems. Same with the 40's. Even in the 50's there wasn't as much of a gulf as there is today. In the 60's and 70's most guys still had off-season jobs. A few players like Ernie Ladd, for example, made more money in pro wrestling than playing football. So, yes, in 70s this idea became obsolete, but it wasn't so foolish in the first few decades of its existence.
