Pep hosts network battle Television stars from ABC, NBC and CBS converged on the Seaver College Campus for “Battle of the Network Stars, a nine-event athletic competition filmed for later prime-time national viewing. Captains Telly Savalas (CBS), Robert Conrad (NBC), and Gabe Kaplan (ABC) led their network teammates in varied contests, with a final tug-of-war on the beach, to clinch the title for ABC. Because of the program’s success, in February Pepperdine hosted “The Challenge of the Networks” where NBC seized top honors. Pleased with the picturesque campus, Executive Producer Rudy Tellez commented, “We wanted a typical West Coast background. With the crashing of the waves in the background, we’re getting more than we expected.”
