Before I say anything else. I want to
acknowledge the difficulty of announcing
play-by-play sports Telecasters don't
share the journalistic privilege of going
back to edit stupid, ill-advised or incor
rect comments
Yet surely it can t be as tough as
most broadcasters make it seem. Take
last week Revision coverage of the
NCAA, NT in t NRA basketball plav-
offs.
Most oe 'ple have ume to expect slip
shod announcing on the local level After
all, if the listener in a small Georgia
town can t hear his favorite disc jockey
fumble through the local team's high
school madness, all he has to do is drive
a couple of blocks to the game and see it
for himself.
Unfortunately for Georgia roundball
fans, few had the means or the interest
to hop over to Madison Square Garden or
the Astrodome for a first-hand look at
the action. The majority of us were
forced to sit in front of the nearest tele
vision and grumble
THE LOCAL BOYS did reasonably
well. Ed Thilenius. covering Georgia
Tech at the NIT. and Skip Caray, the
mouth of the Hawks, did creditable jobs
under trying circumstances.
When Tech opened in the Garden
against LaSallae. Thilenius either
shared the team's opening night jitters
or saw a bit too much of the city lights.
The game was almost over before Thi
lenius entrenched the word LaSalle in
his mind. But after his occasional mem
ory lapses in the first game, he went on
to do a bang-up job the rest of the tour
nament.
Caray had an even tougher job. The
Hawks, already down by a game to the
Knicks. had twice as many turnovers as
baskets in the first quarter of Saturday
night's televised game.
With the score 26-12, Pete Maravich.
playing like he was kidding, threw up a
left-handed hook shot that sailed over
the backboard. Caray remained silent
for a second and then spluttered. ' What
in the world is going on out there?" It
had to be the first speechless moment in
Caray's career.
THE HAWKS CAME BACK to win.
though, and Caray. back to normal, did
his usual humorous competent report
ing
If Atlanta announcers can do as well
as Thilenius and Caray, why. oh why.
can t the networks find some people to
do roughly the same?
CBS, with Andy Musser and Pat
Summerall at the helm, gave coverage
of the NIT finals, featuring North Caro-
lain and the beloved Yellow Jackets.
Musser and Summerall had at least a
layman's knowledge of the Carolina per
sonnel, but they shared only a vague
conception of Georgia Tech as a school
somewhere south of the Penn Central
tracks, featuring Rich Yonkers and Bob
Murphy.
Sumerall's only experience is kicking,
not jumpshooting, field goals, and his
rambhngs as color man were incompe
tent. irrelevant and immaterial, as Per
ry Mason would put it. It was tough to
decide what was worse in Saturday's
final — Summerall. the officials, the
crowd or Georgia Tech.
NBC, where Curt Gowdy telecasts
every sport from roller derby to bull
hockey, somehow sneaked the Goodyear
blimp into the Astrodome, and most of
the NCAA championship was seen from
a camera angle that made even Sidney
Wicks look like a garden insect
Gowdy and Tom Hawkins did a good
job as announcers, but the coverage was
spotty because they both assumed that
the television audience could see what
was going on.
LAST AND LEAST, ABC put on its
Sunday afternoon situation comedy, oth
erwise known as the NBA Game of the
Week.
For some reason. Chris Schenkel is
perhaps the highest paid sports announ
cer in the world Like Howard Cosell, he
has a great deal of self-esteem. Unlike
Cosell, the esteem is unfounded
He is joined by one-time NBA so-so
Jack Twvman. who spiced the format in
this usual self-deprecatory style.
"Well, Chris" Twvman would say. "I
was fortunate enough to be the greatest
forward in the history of the NBA, so I
am certainly in a position to appreciate
that shot by Elgin Baylor, who is a pretty
good one himself."
Schenkel s glaring lack of sports
knowledge is more than matched by his
utter disinterest in the goings-on on the
court.
I've worked out a solution to the di
lemma. if anyone's interested. Turn on
your television, but leave the sound off.
Kind am empty beer bottle or a dry pic
kle. pretend it's a microphone and do the
play-by-play yourself.
It may not be any better, but it surely
can't be anv worse.

is well under way with the Dean

season.
This year's team, according
to Towns, "can hold its own in
the running events but has a
definite lack of depth in the
field events which will hurt the
team The lack of depth is
caused by the loss of several
nongraduating regulars
The Bulldogs will be in (air
shape in the lOO-vard dash ac
cording to Towns Tony Wil
liamson. a freshman who ran a
9.7 in high school, and Ray
Hamilton a sophomore running
a 10.0 at the start of the season,
are running well and are ex
pected to improve as the season
progresses
The 220-vard dash should be
a strong Bulldog event with
school record-holder Joe Shear
ouse returning for his sopho
more season Although Shear
ouse is sidelined by an ankle-in
jury. he is expected to be count
ed on strongly Shearouse holds
the 220-yard dash record with a
timed 21 s seconds.

has run the distance in 490 sec
onds Shearouse did not com
pete in the event last vear but is
the team's fastest man in the
event, having run under 50 0
seconds several times Jimmy
Sessions is expected to add
depth to the event
Fiddle Baxter, senior co-cap
tain. returns to run the half-
mile along with Alan Davis, a
Ireshman Baxter holds the
school record in the 880 with a
time of 1 53.3.
The mile run will be another
stmng event for the Bulldogs
with school record holder John
Wolf, a senior co-captain, Ben-
jie Durden, a sophomore let
temian. and Kirk Curlin. a top
freshman cross country sland
out. competing Wolf holds the
school record at 4 10 2
The distance men who will
run the two mile or three mile

well

the freshman football team, is
expected to run the high hur

PHILLIP TUCKER, a fresh

to run the 440 hurdles, along
with sophomores John McCord

The 440 relay team, accord
ing to Towns, "can break the
school record with Shearouse in
there ' The team of Maxie
Foster. Ray Hamilton. Tonv
Williamson and Shearouse ran
well at Florida with a 43.3
Shearouse's injury could cause'
trouble since he runs the an

The mile relay learn is not
quite as fast as last season s
record-setting team, but with
more work the team could get
close to that 3 12 mark set last
year." Towns said. The mile
relay team is composed of
Shearouse. Hamilton. Foster
and Baxter Coach Towns said.
"We will be able to hold our
own against most of our oppo
nenls in the relays. "
