2 'Bob Hope Buick Sports Award Show* "I've always liked to rub elbows with sports figures," Hope declared. "They've always been heroes to me." Hope, himself a top golfer with his own one-hole golf course in the rear of his North Hollywood home, counts Cary Middlecoff , Jimmy Demaret and Sam Snead among his closest friends. As a youth he was also interested in boxing and fought under the name of Packy East ("I had a short career. I fainted on the way to the ring.") Bob has been part owner of the Los Angeles Rams ever since they came to California. ("I'm not picking on the Rams - they taught me a lesson my wallet will never forget. We'll do better next year -we're going to put a handle on the ball.") He is also a stockholder in the Cleveland Indians. Although this is the first show of its type, Hope has utilized top athletes during the past decade on his radio and TV shows. They have included: Jack Dempsey, Dizzy Dean, Ben Hogan, Rocky Marciano, Duke Snider, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Nancy Chafee, Bob Feller, Don Larson, Charlie Patton, Fred Haney, Leo Durocher, Lou Boudreau, Ralph Kiner, Jon Arnett and many others. The gold statuettes were specially designed by noted Los Angeles sculptress Maxine Kim.
