DEAN GRIFFING General Manager - Denver Broncos
Personable Dean Griffing, probably the most experienced general manager in the American Football League, brings a lifetime of football background and knowhow - both administrative and coaching - to Denver and America's newest major sports circuit. In fact, the 45-year old Griffing became a general manager in the professional football ranks just two years after he had graduated from Kansas State as an All-Big Six center in 1934. The native of Wichita, Kan., moved right into the dual role of coach and general manager of the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Canadian League. Success

was quick in coming. In his first splash into the rough and rugged waters of pro football, his Roughriders were Western Conference champions. Later he served with Toronto and Calgary, then returned to Saskatchewan in 1952 to team with Frank Filchock, now head coach of the Broncos, and the two collaborated to build one of the finest clubs and organizations in the Canadian League. For almost a quarter of a century, Griffing coached and directed the fortunes of Canadian League teams. A desire to retire after those many successful years in the tough Canadian grid circuit, led Griffing to Tucson, Ariz., and acceptance of the post of executive director of the Optimist Bowl - a game that annually pits the stars of major and minor colleges against each other in that city. But, after two years in that capacity, Griffing heeded the call to return to professional football and accepted his present post with the Denver Broncos where he has been an invaluable leader in the building of the Mile High City's iniWd venture into the pro sport. His wealth of contacts and experience throughout Canada have helped the Bronco general manager construct one of the league's most experienced clubs. Likewise, it will be a valuable aid in future talent scouting and recruiting. Dean and his wife, Bea, have two children - Barbara Dean, 14, and Douglas Frederick, 10.

A man who exemplifies the best in the American tradition of building, he has erected a sports empire in the Rocky Mountain ROBERT L . HOWSAM empire unparalleled .in the annals of local hlSPresident tory. Over a decade ago, along with his father, Lee, and brother, Earl, Bob purchased the Bears franchise in the Class A Western League. On the site of a city dump they erected Bears Stadium, possibly the most beautiful sports stadium in the nation. Gradually increasing the stadium capacity, Denver drew crowds that provoked unbelieving comments and in 1955 they purchased the Kansas City franchise and moved the growing area into Triple-A baseball. Twice, a baseball first, Howsam was named minor league executive of the year. A founder of the Continental League, recently absorbed by the present major leagues, Howsam is looking forward to the day when major league baseball will join professional football in the Mile High City. A leading citizen of Denver, Howsam belongs to some 40 organizations and has been honored by being named to many esteemed positions in the community. Bob and his wife, Janet, are the parents of two boys, Bobby, 18, and Edwin, 16.

EARL R. HOWSAM V ice-President
The most versatile staff member and one who shoulders a large load of the operational details involving the football Broncos and the baseball Bears, Earl Howsam capably serves as second in command. A bomber pilot during World War II, Earl joined the Bears' organization after serving as administrative assistant to Senator Edwin C. Johnson (D-Colo.) from 1949
through 1954. While serving in Washington, D.C., he acquired a vast and excellent background for promotions which is clearly outlined in the Bears' heavy promotional schedule each year. His fresh, new ideas have continued to make the Bears one of the top promotional organizations in baseball and now this high degree of success is being carried into professional football with tremendous results. Earl and his wife, Mary, are the parents of a daughter, Marilee, 16, and a son, Dick, 13.

SPORTS FROM THE WOMAN'S
ANGLE
By KAY HOWE
MEET MRS. COLORADO Mrs. Colorado (Jo Ann Paustian), 1185 S. Platte Canon Rd., Littleton, Colo., and her husband, Larry, are here today. Mrs. Colorado won the title in Denver in finals competition with eight other famous homemakers. She competed with 49 other state finalists in the national contest at Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Currently Colorado's number one homemaker is appearing over the state as an authority on homemaking, being interviewed, and wearing her crown well. She and her husband Larry are both ardent BRONCO BOOSTERS.
Kinsey said, and I quote, "A miracle of human development is the ability ·of women to enjoy a number of things at one and the same time ... they can knit a sweater, read a book, carryon three different conversations, all at once. It's not that their attention is divided, it's simply that women have a wonderful inborn ability for plural living." By the way, it wasn't "The Dr. Kinsey" who made that statement, but a friend of mine, Jim Kinsey. It doe'sn't really matter who said it, the words are exceptionally true. Women do have a wonderful inborn ability to enj,oy a number of different things, and that's why toda;§'s horizon in business and in recreation ~ has expanded so much. Sporting events appeal ~ as much to women as men, because of the true therapy that enjoyment of same provides. Yes, I said therapy, in great big capital letters. There is therapy in the cold crispness of a typical football day, with the air and sun creating "apple cheeks." There is therapy in watching the game being played with skill, and grit, and most important, good sportsmanship. There is therapy in loudly rooting for your team, going home hoarse but honestly relaxed from vocal efforts on the rah, rah, side. Follow the Broncos, the hometown team that has brought national notice to this area with their special brand of sports excitement. You'll be a stirred spectator from here on out ... and you'll have the time of your life. ,

L. SPARKS,
Director
of Entertainment
from Leyden-Chiles Wickersham Post No.1, directed by Bill Smith. The theme of our show today is a tribute to the growth of Qur State and the Rocky Mountain region in the fields of ranching, farming, transportation, industry and sport. We were pleased with the reaction to the new fight song, "The Mighty Bronco March," composed by our contest winner Frank White of Denver. For your information and in order that you may be able to sing lustily with the bands, here are the lyrics:
This week we again feature the permanent entertainment units of the Broncos. They are the Sinclair Bronc-ettes directed by Marian B. Matherly, the Bronco Swing Band under the baton of Johnny Rowe and the Bronco Singers led by Dick Mullin ... and of course Miss Bronco (Jimmie Alford) and the mounted color guard from the world famous Lakewood Westernaires. Our guest units today are the Arvada High School Band under the direction of Robert Hurrell and the American Legion Centennial Grenadiers Chorus:
Hail, Mighty Broncos ... Pride of the West Like the mountains tow' ring high ... over all the rest. Fight Denver Broncos ... Fight for your fame Fight Broncos, Fight, Fight, Fight ... We'll win this game. Verse: Yippie I Oh I Ay Take it boys, go all the way Yippie I Ay I Oh Watch the Broncos go Yippie Ay, Yippie Ay ... The Broncos win today, HEY!

History of the AMERICAN
FOOTBALL
LEAGUE
Yesterday a Dream, Today a Reality The American Football League - a dream come true for young, capable Lamar Hunt, a 27year old Dallas oilman, received its initial breath of air in January, 1959, when the idea simply popped into his head after unsuccessfully trying to bring National League Football into Dallas. Hunt's idea for a new league formulated swiftly. Two others besides the soft-spoken TexanDenver's Bob Howsam and Houston's Bud Adams had likewise experienced rough sledding in trying to bring professional football to their respective cities. In fact, along with being denied entrance into the NFL, they weren't given any encouragement that they would ever get in. First, Hunt contacted Adams, another young Texas oilman, and at their first meeting the two simply talked about football and their mutual problems in unsuccessfully trying to acquire pro football for Dallas and Houston. Hunt didn't reveal his ambitions to Adams, but two months later he contacted both Howsam and Adams, shared his idea and acquired a pair of allies. Howsam, New York City's Harry Wismer and a trio of Minneapolis-St. Paul businessmen soon brought in their cities and the young unannounced loop was up to five clubs. For Howsam, it finally meant the beginning of realizing his ambition to bring professional football to Denver. In the summer of 1959, Howsam, representing the American Football League official again contacted the late Bert Bell on any possibilities of NFL expansion, but the commissioner assured them there would be none. It was soon after this that the AFL revealed to Bell the plans for a new league. Other events quickly fell into place and on August 15, 1959, in a Chicago meeting, the AFL made a formal announcement of its existence, consisting of a charter group of six - Dallas, Houston, Denver, New York City, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Los Angeles, the latter being just brought in by Barron Hilton. Miami was slated to be the seventh city of the eight-team loop, but stadium problems switched that franchise to Buffalo and in November, 1959, Boston became the eighth member. But, not all was peaches and cream. In J anuary of this year, a charter member was lost when Minneapolis-St. Paul officials regretfully pulled out when they couldn't secure adequate stadium rights. This situation was brought on when NFL officials sent a wire to a Minneapolis newspaper promising that city an NFL franchise for 1961.
JOE FOSS Commissioner, AFL
While all this trouble was brewing and before the actual withdrawal of Minneapolis-St. Paul, the league named Joe Foss, South Dakota's highly and widely-respected World War II fighter pilot ace and former governor, as commissioner for a threeyear term. Soon afterward, in a Dallas get-together, Oakland was admitted as the eighth member to again bring the loop up to full strength. In the hectic months that followed, organizational problems were attacked and whipped, League, front-office, coaching and player personnel were hired and the fledgling American Football League was well on its way to a successful entry into America's sporting world. On a Friday evening, September 9, 1960, at Braves Field, home of the old Boston Braves baseball team, the Denver Broncos and the Boston Patriots tangled in the first American Football League game of its infant history. The eight-car train was off and running, roaring down the track of success with a full head of steam. :',. 41:;
