AMATEUR WIRELESS

brate Victory Before Gym
nasium Emptied

Five minutes after the final whis-
tie had sounded at the close of the
W. S. C.-Oregon University basket
ball game last Friday evening the
score had been flashed to Eugene
Oregon. Through pre-arrangement
between the two stations, Hugh AL
len, Pullman amateur operator,
flashed the score, Oregon 81, w. S.
c. %. The message was picked up
by Milton Koupal, amateur operator
at Eugene, and even before the big
crowd had filed from Boiler gym
nasium the students on the Oregon
campus were celebrating the victory
OF their hoop stars Il got your
broadcast flash because you came
roaring in so loud everything else
was drowned out" said the Eugene
operator in a letter to the Pullman
man. Your station sure does come
in distinctly and l notice that when
eyer. you call a bunch of stations
clear below San Francisco answer
every time. Good work"
Concerning the wireless message
the Eugene daily paper had this to
say:
The final score of the Oregon-W.
S. c. basket ball game at Pullman
last night was received here by wire
less about two hours before the tel
egraphic report was received. Mil
ten Koupal, who has a powerful
radio set at his home at the corner
OF Fifth avenue west and Jefferson
street, received a call at $3.50 o'clock
from an amateur operator at Pull

favor of Oregon"
The Pullman wireless enthusiast
has one of the best equipped anna
teur stations in the west, with much
wider range than most of the private
stations. During the past few weeks
he has exchanged messages with
amateur stations in all parts of Wash
ington and in California, Oregon
Idaho, Utah, North Dakota. Montana

MEMORIAL BUILDING
PLANS LOOK GOOD
Committee Meets With Much En-
couragement i'm Campaign to
Arouse Interest in Proposed
Building

plans for the organization Of a
stock company to construct an
armory and memorial building COM
bined are progressing rapidly and
the committee, headed by A. r. Nc
claskey. is meeting with much en-
couragement in its campaign to
arouse interest in the proposed
building. Tentative plans are for
the construction of a building at a
cost of approximately $4,000, suit
able for community gatherings and
other assemblies, with provision for
adequate drill space for the national
guard rifle unit. This would make
II possible to rent the structure to
the state for a five-year period at
a rental not exceeding $500 per
month, insuring revenue whicn
would prove a satisfactory return on
the investment.
The proposed memorial building
will be discussed in full at the cham
her of commerce meeting next Tues
day, it having been made a special or
der of business for the meeting. 1t
is expected that concrete plans will
be made at this time. Captain Horn.
representing the national guard. will
be in Pullman the following day 90
, assist in promoting the matter and
will certify the plans in case they
meet with his approval.
The committee has received a list
Of the requirements demanded by
the state and the members believe
that they can comply with all of
these requirements and ut the same
time give the city of Pullman /
building that will prove adequate
for community purposes FOR the
next few years at least No charge
will be made by the state for pub

able An old livery barn is now sit

that sufficient sum could be
