Unfortunately we were unable
to view the big fight from a
press seat as that section was fill
led up, as usual, by popeyed root
ers and women, but it is our firm
conviction that Smith went down
the first time from a left hook to
the jaw that wouldn't have denied
a cream puff and the second or
soporific punch was pulled, too.
We thought we detected the
beginning of real knockout,
however, when Dempsey walked
smacked the tall MIR. Smith
on the jaw with a hook that
wasn't SOftened up much by
those big gymnasium gloves.
Smith did a wobble that was
never directed by David Belasco.
Later he undoubtedly took dive
and there may be an investigation
by the boxing commission for chair
man Jim Farley and Secretary
Bert Stand were at the ringside.
It is not for us to discuss the
dramatic merits of 1.-The Big Fight"
but We will say that the downfall
of Mr.. Smith, alias Battling Baker.
was better than some of the
dives we have witnessed in larger
and better padded rings.
Dempsey never learned how TO
pull his punches against sparring
partners and even Mr.. Belasco can
not teach him that.
II Smith lasts, the play should
have long run in New York.
Dempsey acquitted himself
creditabIy before q first night
audience. To those who know
him his nervousness was appar-
ent i'm the first act when he
muffed n line but as he went
along he improved.
He was quite natural in the last
act, coming down through the aisle
OF the theater on his way to the
ring, and once he got inside the
ropes he gave a faultless perform
ance. That was where he was at
home.
Jack read his lines very well. He
just played himself and did not
spoil his performance by attempt
ing a Broadway accent or trying
to change his voice. Estelle Tay-
lor, essaying her first speaking
part, was better in the highly emo
tional scene than in the first act
"Buld-Up" where she was handi-
capped by first night nerves"

RECORD
By George A. Simpson

BY George A. simpson
There S another Bozek at
Georgetown University. He is
Emile, younger brother of the
famous Johnny Bozek, about
whom the Georgetown coaches
have expressed much concern
this year.
Emile, hackfield performer. is
q candidate for the freshman foot
ball team that is handled by Bill
Dldack and Frank Murray. He
comes TO the Hilltop school with
reputation as imposing as his
brother.
Playing with the Manchester IN.
HI High School, he was acknowl'
edged as the greatest defensive
fuIIback in New England scholastic
circles. That's some distinction, for
Emile tips the beam at only 40
mounds, though not as tail as
Johnny, standing but feet inches.
Besides, he was chosen as ALI
New England Prep quarterback,
barking the signals on the
Offense and assuming defensive
labOrs when his team forfeited
the ball.
Some proclaim he has greater
prospects than Johnny, which is
conjectural. At any rate, 1t VIII
be interesting to note the work OF
the Bozek brothers on the Blue and
GRAY elevens in 1929. Head Coach
lou Little will have two natty
a nj others
from this years yearling outlay
and the Ieftovers from the varsity.
Watching Emile in action discloses
he has that weaving moVen1ent
which stamps a first rate pigskln
toter. He swerves down the field
much in the manner of Lou Metz
ger. of the Hilltop 1925 eleven, a
halfback whose t a ents were
shrouded by the attention focused
upon Tony Plansky and Jack Hag-
erty.
Apparently, the junior BOzek
has the trick Of twisting and
swinging his hips in the open
field where these traits befuddle
tacklers. Change Of pace is an
other OF his numerous qualifIca-
tiOns which also include bunting
and passing of exceptional value.
And like Johnny, he has added
laurels through his achievements
on the baseball field and basketball
floor

BIZ NEA Serrice
LONDON, Sept. ST. there still
are some who believe that radio is
responsible for the terrible wealth.
err" the royal meteorological office
of England comes forth with final
facts and figures settling this point
forever.
England is not to be excluded
from the regions of the earth that
have been visited by an unusual
amount of rainfall in the last six
years. These have been particularly
wet, some of the heaviest and most
persistent rains occurring during the
summer months.
But that radio, becoming 50 prom
inent at the same time, has had
anything to do with his rainfall is
absurd, says the report of the me-
neurological office
Figures produced in this report
show that although rainfall has
been high from 1921 to 1927, it was
still higher in the period from 1911
to 1920, when radio was much less
in use, and considerably higher from
1871 to 1880, when practically moth
ing was known of radio waves.

GREAT ADVANCE

Good Old Days Were Far

From time immemorial and from

will always be those who bark back
to "the good old days"
Every so often some radio old

when a one-tube set was ENOUGH to
bring in stations thousands of miles
away, and points to present five and
six tube sets which can rarely dupli-
cate those feats; as proof of the fact
that lowered costs of tubes are re-
sponsible for lowered efficiency of
receivers.
Consideration of some facts will
bring to light some interesting in
formation.
Nowadays a headphone lis I'M
known. and any well-designed set
will tune in distant stations through
the handicap of powerful local sta
tionS.
AS far as the tubes themselves are
concerned, comparison of tube
characteristics will show the great
strides that have been made in radio
tube design and production. Back in
1915, the C-30l radio tube was de
signed to operate at five volts and
consumed one ampere. total en-
ergy consumption of five watts.
Today the corresponding tube, the
CX-30l-A, operates at five volts and
draws one-quarter of an ampere.
thus consuming only 1.25 watts, or
one-quarter that of the older tube.
In addition to the progress made
in this type of tube, there has been
steady development of tubes for
special purposes, such as the OK

bB IuteS SPECIAL
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The
Federal radio commission has made
public it's plan dividing the Nations
uarsdio facilities equally among the
I've zones, and reducing the total
nun1ber of full-time broadcasting
assignments from 545 to $40 on
Oct. l.
Commissioner Sykes signed the
order as acting chairman when
Chairman Robinson, who believes
the new ALLEGATION too drastic a
move to be undertaken summarily
refused to do so.
Coincident with the announce
nent, Commissioner Pickard issued
a statement saying he felt it "un-
fortunate" that his views on the
borrowing clause of the radio act
we're not shared by a majority of
the commission.
Favors Present Set
The chairman refused to present
a minority report on the plan which
was approved by the other four
commissioners, but said he believed
that stations should be authorized
in areas not now served and the
present set-up retained as a. basis.
The commission determined that
maintenance of a. ten-kilocycle sep
aration between frequencies was
necessary to provide good reception.
This broadcasting band will ex-
tend from $50 to 1900 kilocycles,
exclusive of the 1866 kilocycle band
set aside for maritime mobile serv-
ices by last years convention.
Frequencies withheld
Six frequencies we're withheld for
the exclusive use of Canadian sta
tons and even for simultaneous
use of American and Canadian
broadcasters, with the reservation
that no American stations will be
authorized on these frequencies
which interfere with the Canadians
or which use more than 500 watts
Of power.
The sixty-two assignments in each
zone are divided into eight full
time positions for stations of 5000
watts and above; twenty-four for
500 and 1,000-watt stations and
thirty for so or 100-watt stations.
The large stations will be restricted
to one on each wave length, while
smaller stations will share channels.
Rural Listeners to Benefit
The commission declared that the
plan will provide IAN improved
standard of radio reception" and
Commissioner Caldwell said that
millions Of rural listeners will be
the chief beneficiaries of the new
arrangement, especially in their flu
ture ability to hear smaller stations
in their own neighborhood and
States"
Commissioner Pickard, who repre-
SCENTS the fourth, or mid-western
zone, which now accommodates 154
Stations, agreed to the plan, but said
that without application of the Dor
rowing clause, whereby certain mid
western States might use wave
lengths not needed in other sec
tons, the facilities of the zone would
be curtailed.
I'm support of this view" he said,
