Content Description
This collection primarily includes 16mm motion picture films of the Pacific University football team over the decades. Most of the films are recorded games of Pacific's football team playing schools such as Willamette, Western Washington University, College of Idaho, Chico State, Linfield, Whitman, Lewis and Clark. Some films are recordings of the Picnic Bowl, alumni games, or intersquad practice. Some container covering the reels are taped together, most likely due to two reels representing two parts to the same football game. More detailed notes can be found at each series level of the collection.
Historical Note
The Pacific University football team has been an important part of the school's athletic history since 1892 when the football program first began. For most of its history, the team played against regional teams that were part of the NCAA Division III Northwest Conference, such as Linfield College, Whitman College and Willamette University. The football team also traditionally hosted "picnic bowls" that involve intersquad scrimmages, as well as and alumni games where the current Pacific football team played against the alumni football players. Video recordings were made of the team's games since at least the 1940s until 1992, when the team went on hiatus. Pacific University revived its football program in 2010.
