Player identification old timers

Too tough to recognize anybody for me. It might be Weenie Beenie Bill Staton with the camera just before they cut to the score board. Also, one of the guys looks a lot like Squirrel, Marshall Carpenter, but I am not sure of either face.

I have watched 3 times now and keep forgetting the crowd and just watching Crane play. It''s fun to watch.

I'm not sure Crane even knew there was a crowd. The pool table definitely had his complete attention.

At the start of this video of Crane's 1966 run against Balsis they pan the audience. I see Cowboy Jimmy Moore in the front row with his cigar, can't tell for sure but maybe Jersey Red sitting behind him? Does anybody recognize any other players in the audience?
i'm pretty sure i saw Alan Greenspan there, but guess he might have looked different 40+ yrs. ago.
PS; i looked but these old eyes aren't working to good. couldn't reconize anyone.

A rare Alan Greenspan reference on azbilliards. I'll pay the table time if that isn't Cowboy Jimmy Moore in the front row puffing on a cigar and the smiling guy right behind him looks like Jersey Red but I can't be sure.


Maybe Bill Porter, Jay Helfert or Freddy will take a look at it.
 
Not very clear

It's not clear enough for me, but it dont look like Jimmy Moore. There is one guy that may be Weenie Beanie.
