I enjoyed this film - (I was only 2 years old when this game was played - but I remember reading about Utah's star - freshman Arnie Ferrin - I recall that he was blonde - so I think he is easy to spot in the film.)
born and raised OGDEN UTAH OGDEN HIGH WEBER STATE 2 time champion then to THIS TEAM FIRST PERSON OF COLOR INT HE N.B.A. Wataru Misaka ;; WEBER STATE DOSE NOT EVEN KNOW WHO HE IS, kevin D. blanch Ph.D.
Wat Misaka would have been forced to relocate to the Topaz Internment Camp if not for being enrolled at the University of Utah. Instead he lead the team to a championship. There's stories of him visiting friends and family at the camp.
Actually this is not too much embarrassing because of basketball was a new born sport in 1940s and the ball which they played was much heavier than today's ball!
@@hotchickenbone There were a ton a great players in the mid to late 40's actually...maybe not in this game lol.. but guys like Bob Davies, Jim Pollard, Dick Dickey, George Mikan, Joe Fulks, etc... they were pretty darn good.
dartmouths team had a few ringers who were serviceman back from the war or training for for their redeployment, Whereas Utah had a Japanese American.
That's great footage
Because it was in the 40's.

8 teams. Entire tourney took 5 days

Kenny Sailors is the only one shooting jumpshots here.
