At Eugene, Oregon:
Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli threw for 116 yards and a touchdown, and ran for another before sitting out the second half as the #16 (AP)/#25 (USAT/C) Oregon Ducks (4-1 overall, 2-0 in Pac-10 play) made roadkill out of the Washington State Cougars (1-4, 0-3) 52-6 in Pacific-10 Conference action on Saturday.

Let's "Take The 'A' Train"
Here are the Delta Rhythm Boys with a vocal quartet version of Duke Ellington's theme song in this 1942 Soundie.
Hey, That's Art's Son, Ain't It?
Jack Linkletter (son of Art) was host of a game show that aired for some six months during 1965 on ABC, The Rebus Game. Jack is featured in this promo.
This was, more or less, ABC's answer to NBC's Concentration. Alas, it lasted only a few months during 1965.

Matty's Funday Funnies
Here is a promo from around 1960 for Matty's Funday Funnies, which aired late Sunday afternoons on ABC.
This show, which was sponsored by Mattel Toys, featured post-1950 Famous/Paramount (sans Popeye) cartoons with Casper the Friendly Ghost, Baby Huey, Little Audrey, Buzzy the Crow, and Herman and Katnip, would be reformulated by 1962 as they old Paramount ("Harveytoon") cartoons were replaced by the animated cartoons of Bob Clampett's Beany and Cecil. The show, for a time entitled Matty's Funnies With Beany And Cevil, soon afterward, would be renamed Beany and Cecil.
