Winfield Vikings, Football '57

Index of Video Tape of Seasons Games, 1957
from the 16mm Movies Taken by Paul Davis


These reels of movie film were found in a closet by Jim Davis. The rolls were converted to video in random sequence. We had no way of knowing what roll was what. Mel Brown has spent considerable time figuring out what is what. The video tape includes the raw time-code of the master tape which is a simple way for us to reference segments. When we get it all figured out it will be remastered in the proper sequence.

For now, this is a rough sequence:

Time Code - Game

1:00 - 1:03 Ark City
1:03 - 1:06 Caldwell
1:06 - 1:11 Wellington
1:11 - 1:17 Hutchinson
1:17 - 1:28 Derby
1:28 - 1:40 Caldwell
1:40 - 1:50 Ark City
1:50 - 1:59 Newton
1:59 - End: Valley Center

If you get any more insights to the material or can index particular plays let me know. One which we have isolated is TCR 01:10.53.25 which is the fourth down and inches in the Wellington game where the runners knee was down before he crossed the goal line. This play cost us the game. Below are three frames from the video. Click on each for a full size image.
