(Spotter for Bill Stern.)
Kvory NebraHka fan that sat in
the huge Koae Bowl In Pasadena
last week received many a thrill
before the ball game wan over. I
believe that I experloticod more of
a thrill than
any other Ne
bnisknn, as I
had the unuwual
opiKrttunity of
Hittina next to
NBC's famed
sports announc
er. Bill Stern.

vast, and 1 have
never been un
der such a
strain in my
lite. 1 had to
identify scarlet jerseyed Huskers
on every play and that In itself
was a difficult job as the radio
oooth was some SO rosvs above the
playing field.
My first contart with the mild
mannered announcer was at lunch
at the Hollyvood-Uowevelt hotel
in llollvwood on Tuesday. Dec. 31.
After the luncheon he explained 1
his intricate spotting system and
the pro-game pieparatton and then
we hurried over to Pasadena to see
the Huskers in their last workout j
reiore mo great imii game wuu
Stanford.
Pointed out pUyer.
Tht a'ternoon it was my job
to famthariie the announcer with
Nebraska system, their plays and
the football players themselves.
While the Huskers polished their
running attack, I pointed out all
of the football players to him and
explained that Nebraska ran their
offensive attack, mainly from the
single wmg offense with a few va-:
nations.
The game was an important one
to Stern, and he wanted to do the ;
best job possible and wished to j
know as much about both teams,
i as possible. i he invited ne to
spend the night with him in Pasa
dena, at the Huntington noiei.

Stern, and his line faced the line
on my board.
We pointed to all of our play
ers that were Involved in any play
with a pencil. As Nebraska would
come out of the huddle it was my
job to point first lo the center,
and then to give the player who
was in the tailback spot, or
farthest back in the offensive
line-up. As the ball was snapped
r .,i,it.l uilth tviv finser to the
fellows who handled the bait and
a quick glance by Stern from
bonrd to board enabled him to fol
low the play on the field and to
pick up the names of the foot
hall players who were involved in
each play.
Booth soundproof.
Th Rote Bowl dame this year
was the first football game that
Stern ever has broadcast behind
a sound-proof booth. The ASCAP
ruling 'banning music forced NBC
to construct a sound-proof an
nouncing booth to protect them
selves in case any banned music
might be played by the bands in
the Bowl. Because of the ruling
none of the music played was al
lowed to oo over the air and it
was also difficult to bring in any
crowd noise, and as a result much
of the excitement that generally
prevails during a football broad
cast was misting on New Years
Day.
It was the spotters Job to re
port all of the substitutions made,
and to aid in keeping track of
first downs and penalties. Thumb-
nail sketches of several of the
players were given to Stern by the
spotters during the course of the
game. All relevant material that
we could give was desired so we
were writing notes to Stern during
the course of the broadcast, and
were giving him scores of other
Bowl games during his broadcast
Praise for teams.
Graham McNamee. Kj?n C a r
penter and Bill Stern, were all of J
the opinion that the 1941 Rose
Bowl game was one of the fastest
moving, thrill packed Rose Bowl
games they had ever witnessed
and thev w-ere high in their praise
of both' teams. They consoled me
with the fact that "altho Nebraska
lost, you can still be proud of your
tern, 'it was indeed a great Ne
braska team, and one of the best
teams to ever play in the Rose
I Bowl."
