J f i j ' ■» Bait Scoop On Television By BOB HOPE —When the editor of The Batta lion suggested an article for the paper 1 naturally thought of a piece of radio comedy, but he in sisted I write on something 1 knew a little about. This naturally narrowed down the choice as eightball is not too interesting and drop the handker chief seems to have gone out with the plunging neekline. Then it suddenly came to me I hadn’t written anything about tele vision, which, as you know is when the audience finally gets a chance to see what they have been smell ing for years. f had to brush up on television first of all so naturally I had to go into a tavern. } was learning a lot wifen the cocktail waitress’ hus- baml came in and I went out. Then I talked with aU the top enter tainers in television. Milton Berle did a couple of my jokes for me as they should be done on tele vision; Gorgeous George the wrest ler showed me both his A and B grunts and the Pomona, Califor nia, forum of the air allowed me to visit their program. The Pomona Program is like the Chicago Round table only they like to invite a square once in a while. Then I had them show me some of the televised speeches Dewey made last fall. Boy, do thy sound funny now! Then 1 want after the technical dnd by visiting a laboratory. I told this little scientist that I was Bob fiope and going into televisibn. Ha took one look at me and started tearing at his calculus. “FoC this,” he shouts, “J work nights pn the coaxial cable.*’ He really got disturbed though when he' fouad out I thought that f’Channel number five” was a French perfume. I asked him if he thought tele vision was Hers to stay. He said after seeing me that fie was no longer sure. Then 1 had a long talk with my sponsor. He said • that well have to change pur commercials for television. Instead of opening my show with a:monologue i gnue out on this big lake with a Swan low ing me. The next twenty minutes I have to hop from lily pad to lily pad in what looks like Eliza and the bloodhounds the day the ice melted. Then for a big finale I break the announcer in two and throw half of him in the lake and the other half in the kitchen. I asked him a little testily if he didn’t want us all to take baths on the stage. He said he’d thought of it but didn’t want to work this hardship on the musicians.

Ray Holbrook Chosen Star Of Week For Corpus Feat Ray Holbro<(k, la strong camli-| date for the award aince the stjart | . of track Season In each weeks' poll, from Baytown, which used to be has been seli'i te<l by The Batta- called Goose Creek. He first came lion Sports Slaffj us the Star of | to Aggleinnd in the summer of the Week forj labt week. This 1944 and ran for the Marodn and choiee was based on Holbrook’s White for the first time In the performance all th^ triangular meet! spring of 1946. at Corpus. The old sayijng that the rich get j richer -certainly vtas true in this i case, although rot f in terms erf ihoney. One of tile main reasons that Holbrool was chosen this Week was the presentation of the medal for the outstanding perform ance after the rjpet in Corpus Christi. That) award definitely placed Holbrook as the Star of the Week in the eyes of The Battalion. j Holbrook, who was the owner of the record with the time that he ran last y ea r lowered the record in the 440 yard dash to 47.8 sec onds. This tin e would tie the con- Ruy. who Is often called "Vigor” by others on Ihe track squad, is AA te« That team Is in the mile relay, which has taken every contest In •ight. At the beginning of the season two years ago, this team was rela tively unknown. Then they started their winning ways and broke rec ord after record. That team, com-, posed of Bill Napier, Ervin Bildet- Pack, Ray Holbrook, and Ail Harh- den, tasted defeat only one time. They were nosed opt in the Drake Relays by Ohio State, which was said to have the best team in the nation. Again in 1948, the lads from AAM started winning the mile re lay, and it soon became ah accept ed fact that the event belonged to them. During that year, they again lost only once. This time defeat came in the pre-season meet at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Coming out of that event, they went on to show their heels to any and all competition. In 1948, they won the Drake Relays, the Kansas Relays and went on to take the 1600 meter relays at the post-sea son Coliseum Relays at Lps Ange les in a time of three minutes-and eleven seconds. The best time for the season in the regular mile relay was 3:16.7. Their winning time at the South west Conference Meet in Houston was three minutes and seventeen seconds. Gone from the old team of the year before was Bill Napier, who had dropped out of the relay to concentrate on the dashes in an effort to break Texas University’s monopoly in those events. Don Cardon, hurdler from El Paso, completed the relays roster for the 1948 reason. They wore anchored by Art Hamden, two time winner of the Southwest Ghn- ferenci* 440 yard dash, ami member of lust summer’s United States Olympic team. Their number thrao man wa* Ray Holbrook from. Bay- town, who was Hamden's shadow in the 440. He was always on Art’s heals At thv finish line, and if nresseil ho could always manage to bring out an extra spurt of spaod, not only In himsCtf but alio In Art.
