McCarthy at the Mike
FOR us, the name McCarthy means, not the junior senator from Wisconsin, but that old familiar sportsman’s special, Winston McCarthy. Of course, by old we don’t mean that Winston has been relegated to elder statesman status in the realm of sport. But he has been on (or on the edge of) the arena for so long now, that there are few sports on which he cannot speak with authority, and an accumulated fund of entertaining anecdote. In a new programme to be heard beginning this Friday, December 3, from the four ZB stations at 9.32 p.m., he is going to talk about his Sportsman of the Week. Starting off with the representative cricketer Ian Cromb, Winston will follow up with a review of the achievements of the versatile Eric Tindall, equally well-known in the cricket and football worlds. In his line-up of sportsmen Winston isn’t going to content himself with reminiscences and lively analyses of the giants of the past. If an athlete or player comes up with some particularly meritorious record during the week, then Winston's going to be right on the ball with his own characteristically entertaining account of what makes Sammy (or Murray) run, or jump or pot that wonderful goal.
