Abstract
A workprint for a promotional piece for a sports show or segment, likely made for the Chicago affiliate of NBC News. The first half contains rapidly-edited shots of various sports with brief snippets of audio. Sports seen include cycling, auto racing, tennis, college basketball (Purdue vs Illinois), track, martial arts, rowing, college football, baseball, motocross, hockey, downhill skiing, polo, chariot racing, boxing, gymnastics, swimming, bowling, wrestling, bull riding, and pole-vaulting, among others. The second half of the film is an accompanying musical track, an upbeat, horn-driven piece likely meant to be tracked onto the image sequence for the final promotion.
