 ward running our fun last evening. There seemed to be plenty of il. Some stations came through all right, while others were apparently lost in the fog or the subway jam CT something. We didn't collect any ! distance at all. However, we didn't i try for anything very far away, with i WTIC and WEAF offering satisfy ing programs.
 The ESkimcS went on the air from 1 Providence. being hooked up with i WEA~ and the network from the studio Of WJAR. It was the first time we ever listened to a complete program by that organization and we felt we'll repaid for so doing. Harry ReSer, one of the best banjo ists in the business, is the head Eskimo, and he burst out every so often with solo that bade fair 10 take our head off The orchestra Is superb and, for real. enjoyable dance music. played in an original man ner, we recommend the ESkimos ] weaving a story out of the titles of the numbers. Among the selections were Spring Fever" "Ooh, Maybe It's You" "Swanee shore" etc, etc, etc, etc. WEAF was as steady and as clear as WTIC.
 The Capitol presentation from l ' ba fact that the last act was d wire walking exhibition, and you know how such things go on the air Jim Clancy did his best to heighten in terest by describing the proceedings, but somehow or other we just couldn't work up a bit of enthu- siasm. Control was switched at 10 o'clock and Worthy Hills orchestra played "Cornfed." There's a band that sounds 100 per cent better in person than it does over the air.
 During the Esllimos' program we moved over to WTAG, Worcester just to find out how that station wat coming through. We found out But we're keeping it secret.
 The (censored) Brothers were or the air from WEAF and a chain. We listened to several selections, notic ing that the boys sang well in close harmony. We enjoyed all of the pro gram but Are You Happy. whicf includes too much of that "Old Pal stuff.
 We heard some news of the movies and of the movie stars dur, ing Emo's broadcast through WPG Atlantic City. That fellow must fol- low the stars around to get all the dope. We were surprised, honestly dearie. to hear some of the things we heard. WPG was loud enough sc that we could hear everything.
 WMSG, New York, presented c talk on "The Feet" but we figure that a few remarks on The Head might have been more apropos ln- asmuch as a blooper was squeallns all through the program. We dldn get a very big kick out of the tali although the station was loud.
 We don't like Vincent Lopez wa, of announcing. We never have llke' it, We never will. It may meet ia vor with some people, but to us, l doesn't sound so good. He's too nice Seems to us he plugs that Hope speaking" trademark of his toF much, anyway. But--he has a won derful band WTIC broadcast 1t q Il o'clock last evening and the 1nu sic was superb. And, too. there wa! a fellow named Bob Crulkshani eff we are wrong about that name correct us, because we want to giF' that fellow all the credit in th' world) who was an absolute WOW He sang several songs and gave few limitations, but his program wa too short, absolutely too short. Ii sang a song about a parrot, in Whlcl he initiated the bird in an entlrei authentic manner. He presented al imitation of an Hawaiian guitar which was the best we've heard. II omitated group of automobiles Tn traffic jam, causing us to roar WltI laughter. The band presented group of great numbers, one Of tn features of the program being mu sical description Of Lindbergh's fligh to Paris. But Lopez should do nor playing and less announcing. Ii isn't the type to be allowed ire reign with the microphone.
 The Yale-Brown football game a New Haven tomorrow afternoon WI he broadcast by stations NDRt New Haven; WMCA. New York WOKO, Peokskil, and WABQ, Mi adelphia, in a hookup. Broadcastn is scheduled to start at 2:l5 o'cloc and the progress of the contest WI be reported play by play,
