With couple of light poles and a
few wires the students recently riggcd
up a wireless receiving station on an
ordinary baby carriage, with n small
mcgaphone attached to throw sounds
under the carriage hood. With baby
loaned for the occasion by sympathetic
mother. n student trundled the car
riagr through the old 'Bluc Gate. -
down Union street and into the busi-
ness section of the city.
As the carriage started young
woman at the Radio Clubs sending stu &.
ton in the college grounds began sing
ing lullaby. Her song was caught and
distinctly reproduced by the receiver on
the baby carriage all through the busi =
ness district. more than a mile distant.

 Whitewashes Dempsey Geo. E. Firstbrook, Sporting Editor, Times:
 -'I have read a great deal in the evening papers about stacker charges, the principal one being, Jack Demp- sey's Case Inclosed will find a clipping from the New York Evening World, stating all about Dempsey and the stacker charges.
 'It seems to me that when a man is tried and acquitted of the charges against him it ought to be enough to make some of the so-called wise guys keep quiet and stop knocking Jack Dempsey.
 -Georges Carpenter is fine fellow and everyone knows what wonderful work he did during the war. I be- Heve everybody should wish him the best of luck. July 2.
 The Old Timer should not have written this piece in this paper June 23th, stating they should not allow Dempsey to enter the ring with a real man. Dempsey, in my opinion, is o. K.

 New York, June 30-With the big f1dgety. One can feel that nervous, ominous calm before the storm. Dempsey and Carpenter are bundles of nerves today. You can bet your life on that They would not be two of the worlds greatest boxers if they were nerveless creatures Nervous ness is a good indication It is neces- sary in a fighter. It doesn't indicate fear. It is simply anticipation over the coming battle. A boxer who is 1Unkhead or he is nothing. A fellow with ambition and intelligence is naturally nervous. Dempsey is that sort. So is Carpenter. And this will await the ringing of that first bell.
 Hurricane First Round.
 For this reason l have considered all along that the big fight may be over in one punch. and that either man may win it. Nervous energy tier, drive hard during the first round and those who see the contest are very liable to see the fastest fight ever staged by heavyweights- It cer- tainly has all the ear1narks of such fight.
 If the fight should end in a round or so, condition will not count for or against either fighter, but if it should be strung out and prove fast and furi- ous, the physical angle will be a big factor.
 To be frank, did not like Demp- seys habit of knocking out his sparring partners every day It looked to me as though the big fel- way to dispose of them and avoid doing so much boxing. If such was the case he was in dire danger of going stale I think, however. he is
