description

The 1966 Wake Forest Homecoming Football Program is a detailed official publication commemorating Wake Forest College's 65th football season, particularly the Homecoming game held on October 29, 1966, against Clemson University at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Produced by the college's Sports Information Department, the program functions as both a historical snapshot and a promotional artifact, blending sports coverage, campus news, and extensive local advertising. The program opens with a historical account of Wake Forest's founding and relocation to Winston-Salem, highlighting the contributions of Samuel Wait and the support of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. It features messages from college leaders such as President Dr. Harold W. Tribble and includes rosters, statistics, and profiles of players, coaches, and athletic staff. Notably, Head Coach Bill Tate is praised for revitalizing the football program, and there's an introduction to the team's broadcast crew, including Woody Durham. Additional content includes profiles of Wake Forest's deans, the 1966-67 basketball schedule, a freshman football roster, ACC officials, and features on the construction of a new football stadium. The publication has contemporary advertisements from local and national businesses, reflecting both the commercial and cultural landscape of the 1960s.
