60. College Bowl 1963, Fairfield University vs. Brooklyn Polytechnic College Bowl 1963, Fairfield University vs. Brooklyn PolytechnicIn 1963, a team of Fairfield University students won three consecutive games on the nationally-televised General Electric College Bowl. Billed as a “Game of Wits” this famous quiz show pitted teams of college students against each other in a test of their knowledge of history, science, literature, sports and trivia. Originally a radio show, College Bowl had grown into a popular live television show hosted by master of ceremonies Robert Earle and broadcast on NBC Sundays from 5:30 – 6:00 PM. The winning Fairfield team consisted of the following students: John Horvath, John Kappenberg, Joseph Kroll and George Greller; their coach was Rev. Donald Lynch, S.J. This put Fairfield on the map in the eyes of many and was a morale boost for the entire school. A New York Times article from October 14th, 1963 entitled “Fairfield Scholars Rally To Win on ‘College Bowl’” reports, “Fairfield University, which was 60 points behind at half time, beat Southern Illinois University yesterday on 'College Bowl,' 220-190. The quiz program… gives a $1,500 scholarship grant to the winning college.” Fairfield finally lost its fourth game to Brooklyn Polytechnic.
