Mrs. Gaser from Medina, Ohio: “My cow gave birth to quintuplets” 
Wacky childbirth, bovine edition.  Experts in this sort of thing say that quintuplet calves occur once in 14,500,000 births.  Though it’s unusual for all five to survive childbirth, mother and calves are doing fine.  The sire of the calves is unknown.   

Frank Riepl: “I ran 108 yards for a touchdown against Notre Dame last week” 
In an era when college games were rarely televised, fans learned of astonishing plays like this from newspaper stories the next day, not ESPN highlights almost immediately.  Riepl, a sophomore playing in his first game for the Pennsylvania Quakers, took the opening kickoff from eight yards back in his end zone, and returned it for a touchdown.  The Associated Press named Reipl the nation’s Back of the Week for his effort, though the hapless Quakers lost to the mighty Fighting Irish 46-14.  Aside from this one moment, Reipl’s college career would be undistinguished.  The Notre Dame kicker for that game was Paul Hornung, a running back who would go on to have a storied career for Notre Dame, and professionally with the Green Bay Packers.   

Special Guest Hal March mimics the panel’s gestures as they ask their questions   

The show says goodbye to staffer Mary Dean Pulver, with each panel member giving her a gift.  Pulver has dreams of being a television director (Secret director Frank Satenstein is seen) but in a male-dominated industry in a male-dominated era, that level of success would prove elusive to her.  She would remain an assistant for most of her career.  For many years, she based herself in Mexico and served as a liaison connecting American producers and directors with local talent.  At the end, Zippy the Chimp comes onstage and creates his usual havoc.
