SPORTS WITH STODY
BY RALPH WARD

The pro. N. Y Giants, as you know defeated the
Baltimore Colts at Boston University formerly Braves
Field last week, and the Boston GUARDIAN was rep
resented in the Press Box by yours truly This fine
grid contest for the benefit of the Harry Aggans Me-
mortal Fund, was huge success any way you looked
lat it, financially, for game packed with thrills 1t
also provided me with a chance to meet many old
friends in the sports world including Buff" Donell
the Boston U. coach; Tony Zullo, Tufts Star who
will coach Long ISLAND high school team this sea-
son. Joe BareSSl an old B. U. athletic ace who will
broadcast the B. U. football games this fall and your
old radio and TV sports ace reporter, Bob Murphy,
who teams with Curt Gowdy daily on the Red Sox
game broadcaStS.
BOB RATES GREEN TOPS
So your Gardian reporter was really in good COM
pany last week in the press boX hope to be dur
ing many games of the coming 1856 college and high
school season, giving Guardian readers some of the
news and inside stories you may not read elsewhere
For example, last week during the pro game, Sports
Announcer Bob Murphy proved to be quite socabe and
friendly No doubt both Bob and Curt have been read
ing of the Guardian crusade Bob spoke quite highly of
the two Red Sox rockies at Albany; shortstop Jerry
Green, and pitcher Earl Wilson, However, Bob claims
That everyone seems particularly "sold" on Shortstop
Jerry Green, which IS very important development
with the Red Sox now having shortstop troubles, as
mentioned in the Guardian last week. Bob also pro-
missed to help us in any way he could an offer ap-
preciate great deal 1t could happen that Bob and
Curt might be "broadcaSting" about one of the Red
SoX colored farm hands of these days at Fenway
ParK AT least we know many of you sports fans hope
SO ana VIII root Tor colored player to make good here
in Boston Those colored pro football players left no
doubt about their ability here last week
