Deming, N. Mex. He grew up, however,
in Gl0yersvillc, n, Y, and became a.
leader Of his gang in athletics-swim-
ming, wrestling, boxing, foot ball and
base ball.
When Husins was preparing to en-

the World War. Periodically he en-
'front.' bat In the Intelligence service on
OoveTnorB Island, N. Y. Here he dis
tanRuished himself as boxer and was
retained to teach other soldiers to box.
The arnistice left him without single

For o year Husing played professional
foot ball and basket ball, but gave 1t
UP to sell furniture. His next job was
teaching aviation. This came TO an
abrupt end in a marsh when his ship
slipped out Of control and went into a
nose dive.
Still in search Of a vocation HuSing
went to Florida, but instead Of selling
real estate, he taught gymnastics and
Charleston dancing. The call OF the
South, however, soon palled and he
headed back TO New York and arrived
there Just In time TO file hts application
with SOC others for the job Of announcer
at Station WIZ. He got the job and his
success was immediate.

fact, only per cent Of the letters have
his name spelled correctly Most Of the
