Abstract
Telenews newsreel with highlights from a 1960 football game between the Wisconsin Badgers and the Iowa Hawkeyes in Iowa City, Iowa. Both teams were undefeated coming into the match. After a late-game rally from Wisconsin to tie the game, Iowa came out on top 28-21 after a last-minute touchdown throw from quarterback Wilburn Hollis to Sammie Harris. Hollis' performance earned him National Back of the Week honors from the Associated Press, and Iowa was elevated to the No. 1 ranking in the nation after the win. The Hawkeyes would go on to win the Big Ten title that year, and Hollis became one of the first African-Americans to earn All-American honors at quarterback.
