TNHIS 12-year-old always placed flsticufts
i high on his list of enjoyments. But
in his early teens, after engaging in
couple of Golden Gloves bouts he decided
there must be easier ways to make living
In college days, he did some amateur box
ing and played baseball and semipro
football.
Careerwise, two fields beckoned to this
graduate of st. JoSephs Academy in his
native Greeley, Nebr First and foremost
he aspired to be a physician, yet, at the
same time he was dazzled by the luSter at
tending the life of a radio sportscaster.
In both ambitions, he had hard row
to hoe. He was very young when his
farmer-f father passed away. leaving 10
children, of whom he was the youngest.
There were years of financial drought.
The family had moved to Omaha, where
he worked all night at dairy to finance
his schooling With only one night of
each month, the pace was too grueling, and
after a semester of pre-med work, he gave
it up.
Later, having changed to daytime job
in the advertising department of cream
cry, he went to night school at Omaha and
Creighton Universities, where he switched
to pre-law studies.
With marriage came new responsibilities
He took a Civil Service examination with
the thought that better-paying Govern
ment job in Washington would afford him
greater opportunity to continue his educa-
ton. Arriving here in 1910 he soon learned,
to his diSmay, that higher living costs left
little surplus for a long-range schooling
program.
And so, still yearning to be sports
announcer, he enrolled in a radio school
One teacher promptly advised him to turn
his efforts elsewhere, saying You'll never
make the grade" Another held out some

encouragement He stuck with it, and
later took other courses.
BY late 194l he decided he was ready
for radio. Out of so letters he had sent
out, carefully extolling his qualifications,
he received only one reply. 1t took bit
of wizardry to scrounge resources to accept
the offer of that radio station in Phila-
delphia to go there to addition, along with
about so seasoned announcerS.
His auditioner, kindly fellow, advised
him to lower his sights and seek experience
with an independent station. Wiser, and
many dollars poorer, he returned to Wash
ington. He considered himself fortunate.
indeed. when he landed parttime job at
a local independent station. Then, before
three months had passed, his break came
from network station, where he was
hired as a staff announcer.
Although his story is studded with pluck,
he himself modestly points out the element
of luck, for he was close to being fired at
one time for lack of experience But when
one of the regular announcers committed
broadcasting's cardinal sin of tipping the
bottle too heavily, the gloved boy above
was directed by the station manager to go
on in the tranSgressors stead. This was the
beginning of step-by-step progress in his
chosen field.
In 1912 he was a frightened neophyte
staff announcer. Today, he has radio and
TV shows of his own In college years,
he was shy young man who quit one class
because his shaking knees prevented him
from extemporizing speech when he was
called upon by his professor. But now. in
his role of popular sportscaster, he finds
it simple to address millions of radio and
televiSion fans who have followed his play

college football and the games of one of the
