HARMON SIGNED TORAOIOWORK Michigan Grid Star Sports Director Os Detroit Station Detroit, July 22 tl'Pl— Hi*'* Tom Harmon can't <arry the Imll on the gridiron of Michigan next fall, be signed a contract today to do the next best thing -broadcast play-by-play descriptions of Michl-1 san's games for thousand* of his tans. Harmon.* now In Hollywood making a movie built around his own | history-making football career, has l»een signed as sports director of Detroit radio station WJR. a CBS. affiliate. Hl* salary wa* not disclosed. American halfl»a< k> first assignment undoubtedly" would be announcing his alma mater's eight football games, enabling him to start realization of an oft-expressed ambition to be a sportscaster on home ground*. The contract, completed at Beverly Hills. Calif., by G. A. I Dick > Rlohards. president of the station, ended widespread speculation that the "Hoosier Hammer" still would play professional fmitJstll despite his many denials. The contract probably also eliminated the immediate possibility of an extended film career for Harmon. although Columbia Pictures hold* an option on his services for a second picture at a reported salary of 817.500. His first effort on Celluloid, entitled ''Harmon of Michigan." will bring him 1134100. His friends were not surprised by the news, tiecause they said Harmon had majored In broadcasting during his four years at Michigan. Imt they called It ''ironical" that the star's final big-time footIwU appearance prolmhly will be August 2M when be plays at Soldiers Field. Chicago, axanlst the Chicago Bears, the professional team that holds an option un him - "but never got around" to try and sign him. According to latest tabulations, Marmon, who scored 33 touchdowns and 237 points for the Wolverines in a brilliant tbree-year career, led the AUS tar selections with 274.552 votes. —— o - ■ - - Round and Square Dance Wednesday night, Sun Set.
