I returned to Dixon, 7 I had finished my high school education and had 8 in the school football team．My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to 9 its sports department．The job sounded just 10 for me but I wasn't hired．

My disappointment had 11 as if by design．“Everything happens for the best,” Mom 12 me．Dad lent me his car to look for a job．I tried WOC Radio Davenport．The programme director told me 13 had already hired an announcer．

14 I left his office, I asked aloud, “15 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if 16 can't get a job in a radio station?” Suddenly, I heard the director 17, “Do you know anything about football?” Then he asked me to 18 an imaginary game．It was 19 and I did it without difficult．The director was 20 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the coming Saturday．
