Linfield broadcasting class recreated Tim Kubli's winning field goal kick which beat Sul Ross, Texas

A Linfield broadcasting class (perhaps in 1967) was held in the original Frerichs Hall. The classroom was in the room which included studio of KLIN, Linfield student radio station. 

The class was taught by a visiting instructor filling in for Craig Singletary, who was on sabbatical at the UO in Eugene working on his Ph.D. Craig was also Linfield football play-by-play voice on KMCM, McMinnville commercial radio station. 

As a class project, students in the class produced an episode of a program called “Date with Destiny.” The episode was about Linfield’s 30-27 upset  national football championship playoff game win in Texas over favored Sul Ross. 

Climax of the game and the episode was Tim Kubli, freshman tackle/kicker, kicking a record-setting 36-yard field goal with less than a minute to go breaking a 27 all tie. 

Broadcasting class members created crowd noise and a class member portrayed a radio broadcaster describing Kubli’s winning kick.
