Before the games begin, Garry recognizes Major John Glenn and his family in the audience.  Glenn, the future astronaut and US Senator, had just set a transcontinental speed record the day before, flying from New York to California in three hours and 23 minutes.  A clip of this appearance would be shown in a 1962 episode ( E474 ) the week that Glenn orbited the earth in the space capsule Friendship 7.   

Clarence Chiles, John Whitted, Nick Mariana, Carl Hart Jr, Ralph Mayher and Edward J Ruppelt: “We’ve all seen flying saucers” 
Chiles and Whitted were pilot and co-pilot on a commercial flight who witnessed a glowing object over Montgomery, Alabama in 1948. (We can only confirm Whitted's appearance, but he and Chiles were usually a package deal for things like this.)  Mariana is a minor league baseball manager from Missoula, Montana who has film of two spinning discs that he captured in his 1950 close encounter.  Similarly, Hart has photographs of the “Lubbock Lights” that he took as an 18-year-old in a 1951 Texas incident.  Mayher, a cameraman for a television station in Cleveland, was a Marine Corps photographer when he captured a few frames of mysterious lights in 1952.  Ruppelt, a retired Air Force officer, has literally written the book on the subject.  He is the author of The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects (Doubleday 1956) based on his experiences investigating the phenomena for the military.  He’s often credited with coining the term UFOs.
 
The winners of the "Why I Would Like to Marry Henry Morgan" contest are introduced.
All three winners got dates with Henry, in varying degrees of opulence.  First Prize winner Florence Korsh of Philadelphia received a stay at a luxury Manhattan hotel, a new Oleg Cassini dress, dinner with Henry at a fancy French restaurant and tickets to My Fair Lady.  Second Prize winner Jo Anne Jones of Macon, Georgia (whose reason was that she was "too young to know better") stayed at the YMCA, got a $30 dress from Gimbels bargain basement, had lunch with Henry at the Stage Door delicatessen and went rowing in Central Park.  (Henry insisted that she did the rowing.)  Third Prize winner Louise Becker of Broomfield Heights, Colorado stayed at a motel in Jersey, had breakfast with Henry at the Penn Station automat and then visited a construction site where the two witnessed the operation through specially reserved knotholes.
