Grange in 3
Years

CHAMPAIGN, Ill.,, Nov. 3d.
Near v three-quarters of a mil
lion persons have attended the
.rames in which Red Grange and
his University of Illinois team
rave participated in the three
years of his college football ca
reer. Figures made public to-
day showed that the three years

In Oranges first year with the
star absent from only one game,
the attendance was approx

About This ''PrO" Game

About This 'tPrO" Game
THIS professional football
game seems to be causing
quite stir among the col
leges and, with "Red'' Grange
signing to play. professionally, it
is sure to cause even more excite
ment. AS a matter of fact,
Oranges case and professional
football itself is but a result.
The cause is the popularity Of
college football.
For years the colleges and uni
versities have doomed their foot
ball elevens. For a time their
stadiums were capable of handling
the throngs who would see the
heroes IN action. Now time has
come when those who would pay
money for football are too many
for the seating capacity in the
largest stadium in the land. The
colleges have chopped down their
ticket allotments until screams
are heard on every side. Without
degree one cannot hope to see
the big fellows perform. :.
Right here enters the "pro"
game. The promoter offers the
same stars at the same prices
and bars nobody with the price.
1t just had to come. The col
leges and universities will do well
to follow the parade.

description of last Sundays New

zone after another the Giants
were carried or aided from the
field. Not that the visitors play
d "dirty" football-they just
played hard and earnestly. On
one occasion Guyon, the former
Carlisle and Georgia To"h b""k
who seems to be a genuine peren-
NAL athlete, was caught in the
act of applying neat straight
right to Heinie Benkert's whisk-
ers, but a penalty of fifteen yards,
a word of caution from the re-
fierce and some stil1 more en-
phatic and personal cautioning
from Milstead and Bonnar on sub

SUPERPOWER RADIO
TO GET REAL TRYOUT
With No Big Events Planned,
Broadcasting Stations May At
tempt to Overcome Static.
Ry Consolidated Press.

Ry Consolidated Press.
Super-power broadcasting soon will
get it's first real test. With no big
events carded for the warm months,
such as the Democratic and Republi-
can conventions and the ensuing cleo
ton campaigns of last year. the test
ing of high-powcred transmitters on
broa dcast programs is expected to
provide the principal feature OF radio
during the coming Summer.
Many of the five kilowatt stations
and the few plants capable of step
ping up their power to even higher
figures il was learned today, are
planning to turn On their juice fully
in an effort to determine the extent
to which super-power will override
Summer static and also to learn in
what degree the increased signal
strength interferes with other broad
ca asting plants.
When super-power was first sug-
gested as method in which pro-
grams could be flung across the con-
tinent to be heard without the an
noyance of static disturbances pro-
tests came from the low powered
stations, who feared that their pro-
grams might be swamped by the
super power broadcasts of their
neighbors.
Compromising with the station own
ers. the Department of Commerce
ruled that the broadcasters rs must at
tain their super-power in steps of
500 watts. ending their climb when
ever their programs caused serious
interference with programs on ad-
jacent wave bands. Only a dozen OF
the broadcasters so far have avaIled
themselves of this opportunity and
| none of them has gone beyond the
2,000-watt mark.
Summer, however, with its natural
limitations on radio, will provide an
opportunity to see what the supers
will do. 1t is believed quite posi- BILE
according to the Department of Com
merce, that five-kilowatt programs
will be a common occurrence within
the next six months and that much
constructive experimentation with
increased power may be conducted.
Such demonstrations Will be fol-
lowed with interest by the broa dca st
listeners who almost have come TO
| despair of Summer reception, except
by the station-chain system, over
great distances.

Just a Few Points on Increasing Your
Antenna EmCfehcy.

The size Of aerial that will give
best results cannot be determined
beforehand with any degree OF ac
curacy. 1t is also impossible to guess
or even calculate the capacity of an
aerial so that all the other constants
can be designed to fit the needs of
particular installation.
There also are many other consid-
erations that enter into any discus
sion of the best type of aerioi to use
for particular purpose
In many cases d long aerial about
100 feet between supports, with
leadin about so feet in length will
give best results. In other cases
such an aerial is too long for use in
congested districts, and the result of
using such an aerial will always re-
suit in broadness Of tuning and con-
sequently a feeling that the set is
not performing satisfactorily.
Most fans do not consider the lead
in as part OF the aerial system, and
work on the assumption that the only
part of the aerial that counts is the
portion between the two supports.
In reception, the vertical lead-in
portion of the aerial is practically as
effective as the horizontal portion,
and, as a matter of fact. if you live
on the first or second floor of "A large
apartment house where the distance
from the Window to the roof is 10 to
100 feet, all you need for an aerial
is a vertical wire from your window
to the roof without any horizontal
portion.
or course. the ideal type of aerial
would be one which could be length
end or shortened at will to suit con-
ditions, but since this is practically
impossible without going to consid-
erable trouble and expense, the next
best ching Is to install a system of
aerials which will allow you to use
whichever type is best suited to your
needs at any particular time.
For long distance reception, when
the interference from local stations
is very slight, an antenna OF about
$50 feet. including length of lead-in,
will give best results.
For local reception and for cutting
through local stations with fairly
powerful receiver of the two-stase
tuned radio frequency type, the total
length of antenna, including lead-in,
should not be more than about 10
feet.
The Indoor Aerial.
For local reception an indoor aerial,
consisting of about 90 feet of insu-
lated wire strung through the rooms
In as straight a line as possible will
