CODE INTERFERENCE
SECRET DISCLAIMED
Navy Knows of No Cure Of.
fcials Say, Such as Thompson
Had Claimed.

Navy Department officials today
professed to be ignorant of the meth
cd of eliminating code interference
with radio reception referred to in
statement issued Wednesday by r. E.
Thompson. president of the r. E.
Thompson Radio Corporation.
Mr.. Thompson expressed his willing
ness to give TO the world, as a con-
Cret method used by the Navy during
of this process by the spark type of
code transmitters. which are the cause
of substa ntially all the code interfer
ence with broadcast reception, would
eliminate the interference. The secret
he added. was not generally known
even in technical radio circles, al
though his company ilda been paid by
the Navy for its exclusive and secret
use.
Mr.. Thompson said he felt free to
discuss the secret now. because the
Navy Department has indicated its in
tentions of discarding the spark type
of transmitter in favor of the vacuum
tube transmitter, but that any broad
casters desiring to use the device
should get the permission of the Navy
Department.
Radio experts of the Navy Depart
ment disClaim any knowledge of any
other method whatever which will
eliminate code interference when the
code is transmitted by a spark set. In
fact, they regard the elimination of
spark interference as an impossible

MARINE BAND TOPS
WRC BILL TONIGHT
Romanys to Give Hour of
Music, and Dance Tunes
VIII Be Broadcast.

The weekly concert of the United
States Marine Band at the Sylvan
Theater will be the chief event on the
program, to be broadcast by station
WRC tonight. In addition to being
broadcast to Washington listeners
through WRC. it will be relayed
through a chain of stations, including
WIZ, New York; WGY of Schenec-
tady and WBZ of Springfield.
The band will play from T:30 to 9
O'Clock, under the direction of Capt.
William H. Santelmann. The out
standing numbers included in Capt.
Santelmanns program for tonight are
Mendelssohn's overture, Midsummer
Nights Dream; Suppe's mosaic from
'Boccacio," two numbers by Tschai-
kowsky, the Reverie Interrompue
and "Danse Russo" and a cornet solo
by Principal Musician Arthur S.
Witcomb, who will play the Birth of
Dawn" by Clarke.
At o'clock, WRC will broadcast
from the studio of WIZ, New York,
the Romanys' royal hour Of music,
which will be heard also through
WGY of Schenectady. This weekly
feature, which has just recently been
inaugurated. has won a large radio
audience, due to the novel and me-
lodious Hungarian airs played by the
Romanys.
The remaining two events on
WRC's program will be dinner con

Then mount the midget condenser

On loops wound on frames that are

 Columbia was tho guest of Ohio State at Columbus and Indiana en- tertained Syracuse in the opening of the new Hoosier stadium at Bloom- ington.
 Interest In the conference melees was split among the Wisconsin Michigan meeting at Madison. Iowa. Illinois at Iowa City and Chicago Northwestern in Chicago. On these games depended the reduction of undefeated teams in the title cam paign from nine to six and the favorites from seven 10 four.

COLLEGE ELEVENS
 FEARING COLUMBIA
Blue and White Seems to Have Exceptionally Strong. Team

New York, Oct. r Watch out for Columbia"
 That's the warning cry being sounded in eastern gridiron circles this season. And well 1t might be, too. For the Blue and White insti- tuition appears 10 have an excep- tionally strong eleven this fall,
 Columbia hasn't sponsored real, first-class outfit since the old days of revolving wedges. tandem formations, guards back and so on: plays that were tavorites before the forward pass and open style bf game came into vogue.
 For several seasons football was even taboo at Columbia. Only in the last few years has 1t been placed on the regular sport calen- dar again.
 Last fall Columbia boasted fairly formidable aggregation It beat some of the best schools in the east and held the powerful Pennsylvania team to a 10-7 yic- tory. And Penn, 1t will be recalled, had one of the outstanding elevens in the country.
 Much of the 1924 success was due 10 the work of the late Percy Haughton, one time Harvard coach. who took over the Columbia destinies last fall.
 Haughton passed on before the end of the season. But he had i'm bued the Blue and White gridders with the same old spirit which had made Crimson teams famous and had started the renowned Haugh- ton system nicely. so that Head Coach Crowley was this fall able to carry on where Haughton had left off.
 In its early games this campaign Columbia has shown plenty of power on both the offense and de- fense. On the attack, especially, the Crowley machine has brought back the days of some of. Colunlbia's s famous teams - outfits feared by all opponents.
 In Captain George Pease the Blue and White boasts one of the best uuarterbacks of the season. Pease is triple threat.
