Having tried the direction test with
the stations, the next thing by way OF
evidence was to try the station power
test. This was comparatively simple.
First we selected a station near
enough to be picked up under ordinary
conditions, yet one that was low
powered enough to be in the poor
class for radio fans except in its I'M
mediate vicinity.
They all sound alike tonight,
Smith commented when. after much
fussing, he managed to get something
that sounded like what the program
indicated should be coming from the

Now. here's where the station test

were anything wrong outside you
could not possibly pick UP the less
powerful stations when the local is
so indistinct. You could not get the
station wrongly located, with respect
to the aerial, if the one in the right
direction were poor. You could not
get any distance at all unless the local

Despite the advantage of the aerial

GENERALS POSSESS
MANY GREAT BACKS

LEXINGTON, Va, November g
Following a week of light signal drills
and scrimmage Coach Heron has
turned his men down the home stretch
before the Virginia Cavaliers are met
Saturday at Lambeth Field. He has
taken care that no more men be added
to the already large injured list which
he has faced since the Princeton game
over three weeks ago
When the Blue and White trot on
the gridiron Saturday they will boast
one Of the greatest array of backs in
the South. Leading this stellar group
Is Capt. RaubOr. His work against
every team that the Generals have
met this year has been outstanding.
Playing beside Raubor is White, a
member of the 1925 Little Generals,
who were not scored on all season.
White was used last season at full,
but has been shifted to quarter and
has been playing his new position in
fine style. He is one of the hardest
tacklers in camp.
Another member of the 1925 year
ltngs now flashing in the sport hall Of
fame is Whitlock. He has been doing
some fine work this year. and with
the veteran Palmer Is holding down
the halves.
Coach Heron does not stop with
these four backs. but has Lott,
Stearns. Howe, Barclay. Latham and
Tips, all of whom can perform in
good style. Each of these has seen
plenty Of service and before the end
Of the game Saturday will most likely
