General Tire Series I present to you
that stall of stage screen radio hotel
lobbies and Street haulers mr. Jack
Benny at the fine introduction Don
Street corners all I can say ladies and
gentlemen is that the football season is
now on and I wish that I were a tackle
and Don Wilson was coming my way with
the ball oh you're kidding no I'm not
well you know that buy all racket is
football and every year on the football
season starts my blood begins to tingle
yeah Don would you play football with
the UFC you don't say sure why I
remember my third year in college I made
23 touchdowns hmm 23 yes and in my last
year I made 34 touchdowns but not today
Jay no down today you just make touches
on this program they call you touchdown
all right stick to the routine bet did
you ever play football
well I carried a few pig skins in my day
I know you worked in a slaughterhouse
but did you ever play football sure I
played for listen I used to work right
alongside a red grain well the same team
know the same ice wagon but no kidding
Don I played a lot of football on my
college days although I didn't know that
you were a university Ram what college
did you attend at the U of I see I see
yeah it's international correspondence
and you played football on the
correspondence school team sure Don I
used to send in some great forward
passes by mail I remember one day we
needed a touchdown to win and I sent it
in by airmail that did that win the game
no I only put a three cent stamp on it
and it came back well that's good yeah
Frank Park is my name remember oh yes
and speaking of football you know I
played on the U of L over eleven Worthen
what gear vodka what yeah 24 25 26 27
all right all right I mean what the what
brought you to that knowledge penmanship
shoe forgery that's a great study tell
us something about your football well
one day I grabbed the ball and ran six
hundred yards for a touchdown he must
have been a big field oh yes I ran right
through the woods and the whole team
came after me but they couldn't get the
ball away why not it was chained to my
ankle oh well Frankie she was going to
Princeton that never would have happened
you know anything I know Mary but we're
speaking of football after all that out
of your line it is you don't think I
went to vascular to learn crocheting do
you well alright Mary tell us about your
football experiences well one day we
were playing win more giving that girl
college near Philadelphia yes and what a
game more than 70,000 people didn't show
up Oh game what that was a for Mary it
was the last quarter faster had 14 and
Bryn had more Oh
and that's probably the first show been
more I get it I get it
their house passes through the ball to
their quarterback this but i intercepted
the ball
what does intercepted means what's the
difference long as you're healthy so I
started to run for good old badger and
win for a touchdown 20 yards 130 yards
40 yards 50 ah yes and what yards all
the garden mary mary it's a half-hour
program that's what I'm worried about
so anyway I kept running nobody could
stop me and I finally crossed the goal
and you scored a touchdown no I looked
around it to my surprise I didn't have
the ball not to my surprise Oh Mary how
could you forget the ball well I did the
running I can't think of everything
Lisbon I'll bet if you played polo you'd
forget the horse yeah no I would just
