==Legacy== As a college football commentator for CBS, he laid down much of the structure of football play-by-play that is still used today. He devised some of the earliest spotting boards to identify the players on the field. Husing also interviewed coaches and players before games and attended strategy sessions. In 1936, Husing narrated ''Catching Trouble'', a [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] non-sports [[newsreel]] documentary about herpetologist [[Ross Allen (herpetologist)|Ross Allen]] that would gain later prominence as a [[short subject]] on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', during which the characters parodied Husing's distinctive delivery. Husing has a star in the Radio section of the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]] at 6821 [[Hollywood Boulevard]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Ted Husing|url=http://www.walkoffame.com/ted-husing|website=Hollywood Walk of Fame|access-date=7 January 2017}}</ref> His "on air" voice was heard (as himself) over a radio in the 1936 Broadway stage production of ''Double Dummy'', written by Doty Hobart and Tom McKnight and staged by Edith Meisner.
