Buddy Dial, normally a split end for the Dallas Cowboys, will appear as wild card for the Dallas Symphony. Dial, Lord help us, will sing. Meeting with Conductor Donald Johanos to discuss repertoire, Dial—one of the foremost vocalists of Magnolia, Texas—held out for My Bucket's Go! a Hole in It. Johanos tactfully suggested it might be difficult to get a full orchestral arrangement for that number. He recommended an aria from Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera, freely translated as "The Hidden-ball Play," an Italian pass option. After one practice session, Johanos assessed Dial's range as "from B fiat below C to high F, which is an octave and a sixth and good enough for a first down."

In absolutely the last bowl game of the year a team of jockeys, led by Bill Hartack and Ray York, tied an all-star group of seventh-and eighth-graders from the Pop Warner league 6-6 in Garden Grove, Calif. "It was very fair," said York later. "Some of our players never made the eighth grade."

The Camp Fire Club of America presented wilderness hiker and mountain climber William O. Douglas, 66, with its annual award at a Manhattan restaurant, Tavern-on-the-Green. The green referred to is Central Park, a New Yorker's idea of the out-of-doors. Still, giving Douglas an outdoorsman's award in New York, citadel of the sedentary, may not be entirely inappropriate. Down in Washington Mr. Douglas is a kind of bench warmer himself.
