Sports Review of 1959
Light in contrast. Sports Review of 1959 Downhill skiing. Some skiers have wipeouts -- flips, somersaults, one skier flying through the air to land on his back. Spills. Ouch. Agony of defeat. Blooper. 1950s women spectators. College men's basketball. Cheerleader waves pom pons (pom poms). California vs. West Virginia. Enthusiastic spectators cheer and applaud, both men and women in the crowd. Scoreboard WV 70, CA 71. African American man (John Thomas) does high jump, pulls on Boston sweatshirt. Golf. Seemingly impossible putt by Claude Harmon goes in. Golf fans applaud. Billy Casper putts to win. Photographers snap away and reload (a neat shot). Winner with trophy. Tennis, men's single's match. Neale Fraser defeats Alex Olmedo; winner throws his racket into the air in celebration, leaps over the net to shake hands with opponent. Horse race with very close finish: Kentucky Derby as Tomy Lee wins. World Series scenes. Crowded baseball stadium. Home runs. Duke Snyder (?). Wally Moon (?). Winning team (Los Angeles) gathers around pitcher after game. Platform diving. Men compete. Judges. Gary Tobian(?). Then women dive. Paula Jean Myers Pope.
