Hide Profile

College Bowl began in 1953 as a radio program under sponsorship of the General Electric Company, moving to television in 1959. Each week two collegiate undergraduate teams would compete to be the first to correctly answer a variety of scholarly questions. The winner would return the following week, and the school would receive a General Electric scholarship grant. In 1963, the University of Nevada was invited to compete. Traveling to New York City with team coach Harold Kirkpatrick, the Nevada team of David Cooper, Carl Dale Donothan, Judy Garwood, Steve Miller, and alternate Lynn Gerow, competed against Yeshiva University, losing 285-195.
