Saddlesore Cowboy-Minstrel Gene Autrey and his music publishers collected $250 in damages from a Houston nightclub, whose comic was forbidden henceforth to drawl a vulgar tune titled 01' Gene Artery, a parody of 01' Gene's own theme that also slightingly mentioned his favorite hoss, Champion...
...Mamie's dressing screen to the ground just off-camera (it was righted on time), tore her flower-laden raft from its moorings (it was recovered on time), tugged at nervous Don Knotts, who managed to keep his footing at the pool's edge, almost lifted Announcer Gene Rayburn off the diving board on the wings of a placard picturing Co-Sponsor Greyhound's mascot. But the show hung together and the pictures moved surely and crisply to the mainland, so that millions of viewers as far north as Toronto could join Steve Allen in Havana...
...third period. Navy End Pete Jokanovich leaned across the line and made a startling offer to Rice End Gene Jones: "Hey, kid, you want a ticket to the game?"

...proved to be right up television's alley. Originated by Chicago's Peter DeMet, who is also the kingpin of TV bowling, each hour-long golf show (Sat. 4 p.m., ABC) boils down to an 18-hole match between two top pros, e.g., Gary Middlecoff, Sam Snead, Gene Sarazen, playing before six simultaneously grinding movie cameras. The winner of each match gets $2,000 (the loser, $1,000) and the right to keep playing as long as he wins. Players can win bonuses of $500 for an eagle, $10,000 for a hole in one.
