Sept. 26 through Dec. 12, covering as many as five games on a single afternoon via regional networks. (Cities where games originate will be blacked out.) In addition, Du Mont plans to televise 11 Saturday night pro games, plus the Detroit Lions- Green Bay Packers Thanksgiving Day set-to. Twelve warpath excursions by the Washington Redskins will be tel¬ evised by ABC on a special regional basis in the Southeast. The winter and spring college sports schedule starts on ABC Dec. 11, but specific events have not yet been selected. Certain, however, is NBC’s televising of the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl games New Year’s Day And This Season TVTakes You Down Front For More Pro Football And College Sports and Sugar Bowl coverage by ABC. There will be plenty of action on the boxing front, too. The Friday night Cavalcade of Sports and the Wednesday night Blue Ribbon Bouts are already on the air, each seeking the distinction of offering TV’s best wallop-swapping sessions. On Mondays, ABC offers boxing from Brooklyn’s Eastern Parkway Arena; Du Mont simultaneously airs the bloodletting at Manhattan’s St. Nicholas Arena. The same two net¬ works also compete for sports fans on Saturday nights, but in this case it’s boxing vs. wrestling. ABC picks up bouts in various East Coast cities, while Du Mont telecasts grunt-’n’- groan specialists from Chicago’s Mari¬ gold Gardens. Wrestling from Chicago is also telecast Wednesday nights— from the Rainbo Arena, by ABC. Tied in with boxing are interview programs— Sports Spot, with Mel Allen, and Fight Talk, with Bob Cooke and Don Dunphy. Greatest Fights of the Century surrenders its Friday time spot to a new program, Greatest Moments in Sports, consisting of Walter Kiernan’s interviews with sports celebrities and film clips of their peak achievements. (The Great¬ est Fights films are still around un¬ der that title and also under World’s Greatest Fighters—In Action.) Another guest interview and film clip program is The Big Playback, a 15- minute telefilm series, on which Jim¬ my Powers has replaced Bill Stern. Pro basketball, programmed last season by Du Mont, moves over to NBC Saturdays, starting Oct. 30. The Roller Derby this season is being syndicated to local stations via telefilms. CBS will offer horse racing from the three New York tracks through the end of the present season, resuming next spring. Plus racing’s “Triple Crown” events—the Ken¬ tucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes. . Schedules on next page.
