Their voices are familiar and nearly everyone has heard them, sports fan or not. Yet radio keeps them unrecogniz- able to most. Ernie Harwell is almost an institution in broadcasting, and Paul Carey is a young veteran of four summers. The two com- bine for an enjoyable evening' of listening and, recent dismal years for the Tigers have not kept the duo from their on-the- air high spirits. "I love play-by-play bet- ter than sitting at a desk k writing," Carey said, "I can * - say so much better, and it comes out clearer." Harwell had similar senti-, ments.

Huckleby, Gordon Bell, will of Russell Davis' back to fullback, MW' stadium changes vendors By HENRY ENGELHARDT Those of you who expect to see last year's leftover hot dogs in this year's mustard at Michigan Stadium tomorrow are in for a bit of a surprise. After nine years of running the< concession stands for all athletic activities Ogden Foods of Boston have been replaced by Gladieux Foods out of To- ledo. Gladieux, on a standard ten year contract, is putting in3 $60,000 worth of equipment "just' for starters," said W. F. Smith Gladieux vice-president. Another change this season will be. the addition of strolling vendors in the narrow stadium aisles. According to Gladieux General Manager Dick Beeh- ner,.there will be "a couple of Hundred" of these vendors; SOME PITFALLS Gladieux could do well by avoiding areI those Ogden fell into the last, year or two of their nine year stay at Michigan, which event- ually led to their replacement.' Charles Harris, assistant ath- letic director and the man who engineered the switch, cited a basic erosion of service by Og- den, to both the consumer and' the Athletic department for the turnover. One highly significant prob- lem Harris saw in Ogden's serv- ice was "they were having dif- fic-lt etting people to buy the. Ct." good day last year' Ogd - o'ld gross $40-45 thous- and," noted Harris. "In a sta- dium of this size, as indicated by other similar places, it is not unreasonable to expect a gross of s50-75 thousand." The Athletic Department service to the fan." ANOTHER PROBLEM the Athletic Department had with Ogden was in getting au-I dited figures of sales. Figures from the last games in Crisler, the state high school basketball tourney in March, still have not come in, Harris pointed out. "We were rather dissatisfied with the overall service Ogden foods had given us," Harris evaluated. Another reason for the switch is that Ogden foods seem to be, pulling out of stadium type vending. As Harris noted, "they. never expressed to us that they wanted to continue here." Gladieux was chosen over companies from Philadelphia and Chicago. A major reason was the nearness of Toledo. Harris said they had learned ing around in here." The radio booth is surpris- ingly small, just large enough for two. The view is one of the best in the stadium, but that alone isn't the only no- ticeable characteristic of the booth. It is filled with the infor- mation an announcer requires to keep the broadcast going. An age-old wire machine spews out scores and high- lights of other games, when the tempermental machine is working. While setting up for a game in which Mark Fidrych was go- ing to pitch, Carey added, "pro- ducing the broadcast means my job starts about two hours be- fore game time." I have to alert stations of breaks, commercials, and of course, I work the sound." As he said this, he lowered a microphone out of the booth to pick up crowd noises during the game. Paul Car _v is honest in his replies. Despite being busy he was anxious to answer ques- - % G^ FOXX E 50c Discount on Admission With Student I.D.
