Come Out Of The Bleachers! Down Front For Sportscasts Television’s theory of how to succeed in the vast sports field is simply this— give the viewer the best seat at the park, field, stadium or racetrack and you have made a friend for life. But there’s a vast difference be¬ tween theory and practice. Even now TV officials are sweating out the problem of bringing home viewers the broad sweep of action from any part of the baseball park that the paying customer can see. And this includes the dugouts. While a few teams allow TV cam¬ eras to look into the dugouts, most refuse on the theory that what occurs there is just between a manager and his players. But, as pointed out by John Derr, CBS director of sports, many fans seated in the park can peer into the dugouts, so why not give home viewers a peek? Derr would also like eight cameras to cover a baseball game, instead of the five in general use today. To bring viewers the most information about a game, he says, six cameras, in teams of two, should be posted be¬ hind home plate and along the first- and third-base lines—one to cover the action, one to shoot close-ups. The remaining two cameras would scan grandstand and playing field. However, Tom Gallery, NBC’s di¬ rector of sports (he was formerly a vice-president of the New York Yan¬ kees), believes TV’s baseball cover¬ age is near-perfect now. Present cam¬ era positions give viewers better seats than the best in the parks, he says. But, given unlimited funds and com¬ plete command, Gallery and Derr would have a lot of fun and get plenty of excitement from other sports. Here are some of their ideas: GOLF —Derr would adopt an idea, proposed by a Midwestern club, to redesign the course in the shape of a wheel. The clubhouse—and TV cam¬ eras—would be at the hub, with the fairways going back and forth along the spokes. The first tee, for example, would be in front of the clubhouse, with the first green on the rim of the wheel. The second tee would then be on the rim, with the second green back at the clubhouse. Cameras at the clubhouse could cover the action on nine alternate tees and greens. 10
