Description: This news footage captures the University of Texas Longhorns bench during their apperance at the Cotton Bowl Classic on January 1, 1973. The Longhorns defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide 17-13. Manager Juan Conde and Head Coach Darrell K Royal can be seen on the sidelines with the players. Also included is a tour through Bauer House, the official home of the chancellor of the University of Texas System, located in the West Austin neighborhood of Tarrytown. The Bauer House was completely razed and rebuilt in the early 1970s, and the renovations and improvements requested by the new Chancellor Charles “Mickey” LeMaistre (replacing Harry Ransom in 1971) were the subject of much controversy. This footage was likely shot as a promotional “coming out” video for the recently completed project.
