H.. Wheaton:
II very seldom write letters

allow your comments on Jim
Gibbons to pass without chal-
lenge. To put 1t in a nutshell
Gibbons is the worst big-time
announcer in the business, in
my opinion, and in the opinion
Of many with whom I have dis
cussed his many failings. /
shall never understand how he
holds his job in the face of
his off-demonstrated incom-
petence. So he has two
friends named Bob Chandler. ;
What does it matter If he has
80 friends named Bob Chand-
Ter! BY this reasoning he
should call Don Chandler Hap
py' and be done with it!
You say: he corrects him.
self whenever possible How
ridiculous can you get? When
is it NOT possible to correct
yourself? Near the end Of the
Giants game, Gibbons said:
the Giants call time out to stop
the clock although 1t was per-
fectly obvious to millions of
viewers that it was the Redskins
who we're stopping the clock. .
There NEVER is a correction Of
Gibbons by Gibbons and this, I
think, is his worst fault. If
you want to listen to some COM
petent, knowledgeable announc-
ing, tune in the AFL team of
Curt Gowdy and Paul Christ
man. BY contrast with them,
Gibbons is pathetic. :"
COMMENT: I've listened to
Gowdy and Christman. Person.
ally, I'd prefer a Gibbons
Christman combination - but
not Gowdy for Gibbons. There's
q tremendous difference in call
ing games with the same team
each week as there is in calling
a different game. For one thing,
Gibbons is calling the plays
with a lineup with which ev-
eryone is familiar; any errors
are noticeable. The viewer
KNOWS what the announcer
meant; the irritation in this
type of mistake bears a direct
ratio to the success of the team
If we're losing, it's pathetic; Il
we're winning, who cares? Tit
only legitimate comparison -
bearing in mind that TV sport
