Once a defensive left tackle has q
wide run pulled around him, such as
was shown recently, he's very likely,
upon seeing the ball passed to back
No. l, and back No. turn and fake
passing it to No. 2, to charge wide
to break up the same sweep around
his end. Rockne wants him to.
When that wish of the Notre Dame
coach becomes action on the de-
fensive tackle, No. spins clear
around as No. sweeps past him to
the right, and comes back inside the
defensive tackle like q ton of falling
brick. No tackle has chance against
such play II he has made false
move. Two men jam him the way
he has started to go.

credit for starting 1t, as there were
others before me-the problem Of radio
noises has warmed into a question of
national concern. The radio has been
cxecrated. along with innumerable other
noises which make life in great city
increasingly difficult.
Judge McAdoo's decision, along with
the previous ruling of a Massachusetts,
court, brings the law one step nearer to
the rowdy loud speakers. AS I have
said before. it seems to me that 1t Is
foolish for the owners of receiving sets
to let it go this far. This is a question
which could be settled by a little decent
and civilized behavior without weighing
the already overburdened statute books
with any more laws. I feel inclined to

Tips for Announcers.
I get all sorts of questions which are
not exactly questions, but which raise
various issues of good technique in
radio announcing. AS many OF these
are extremely frank in characteriZing
my own feeble efforts, I can with pro-
priety state their general outline with
out spilling anything unpleasant about
my confreres. What the folks say seems
to go for all of us.
c. L. Finney. Philadelphia, makes the
point that radio announcers, particu-
larly in broadcasting boxing match
or other sporting event, are apt to try
to pump up a sustained excitement
becomes artificial and tedious.
Mr.. Finney's main point is that, while
the broadcaSter ought really to feel the
excitement, he ought to take 1t easy
for while and then rip loose when
something really worth while happens;
that emotions go in curves and rhythms
and not on one long, even, sustained
flight. That seems reasonable to me,
and believe we are too apt to fall into
a high-pitched, emotional strain with
out any let-down.
suppose it's something like good
and bad acting in way, with the good
actor moving about and talking easily
and naturally and then jumping a cli-

vailing practice Of adapting classical
musical scores to modern dance
rhJthms? It is being done great deal
for the radio.-Myra c. Elwell, Char
lotte, N. c..
A. I can answer this from the view
point of personal preference rather than
as a matter Of radio policy. about which
am not qualified to speak. Possibly
because I was caught young and rather
thoroughly irnbued with the great must
cal traditions, I find this practice dis
tasteful. I remember particularly an
adaptation Cor possibly distortion) OF
"Nignon" which I thought was some
what of a violation of the musical sane
titles. AS I say, this is purely per-
sonal feeling, DOUBTLESS conditioned by
my early training. I know multttudes
of persons are delighted with this
adapted music, and it is possible that,
changed tempo and mood, many are
reached and perhaps educated in the
essentials of the great music of other
days who might otherwise be irnpervious
to it. OF course, there is nothing eth
ically wrong in so adapting the old
tunes, if it is done openly and without
plagiarism.

NEW YORK.-Foot ball fills the air
lanes with word pictures these crispy
Saturday afternoons.
Chain radio uses three gripping voices
of the microphone-those of Bill Mum
day. Graham McNamee and Ted HUI
egAto give by word of mouth alone
a clear-cut copy of what happens on
the gridiron Incidentally, it has adapt
ed to the game new type of reporting.
The technique is not that of the
newspaper reporter, who uses the type
writer and the telegraph wire to get his
story in. Air reporters must record the
play for the microphone in the spoken
language.
Munday Is Newcomer.
Newest among the men who tell of
the Saturday afternoon contests is
Munday. young Atlanta-bred newspaper
man. He did his first chain broadcast
ing at the Tournament of Roses al
Pasadena last Winter. Now he is reg
lar on the N. B. C. foot ball staff.
Munday has brought a new phrase
ology to foot ball on the radio. He Is
a champion at figures of speech. He
doesn't force out the trick assemblages
of words: they just come instinctively.
NCly IA LAD dSSONiltN'
Munday insists that his observers-two
for each game-must know all the pc
culiarities of the movements of the
various players
McNamee. an N B. c. standby, has
voice known almost everywhere that
radio percolates. Chock full of enthu-
siasm. he seems to be able to key up his
far-away listeners to the same high
pitch of excitement that he feels.
Despite his classification as a pioneer
sports announcer, Graham is as much
on edge for the thrills of the game as
when he first tackled broadcasting of
athletic contests.
HusinE Wears Cap in Booth.
Husing. Columbia's chief of foot ball
description, always dons cap and
horn-rimmed glasses when he climbs
into the announcer's booth in some
stadium. He would rather tell the air
about foot ball game than any other
thing. Ted owns one of the heaviest
fur coats worn by announcers.
Ted keeps record of all plays, and
at the end of the season he complies
these figures for use during the year
In his spare time, when he has any, he
is scouting around some foot ball camp
for background.
Each has developed his own pet sys-
tenn of reporting for the radio, but all
are basicly the Same-get the story into
the microphone quickly and accurately.

A LOT of you folks out on the air
~ no doubt got that big broadcast
a OF business and financial talks
a October IS as the first of
series in which great industrial
leaders will appear before the micro
phone. There was a hearty response
to this feature in the mail, showing
what the public is interested in just
now, and have been wondering how
an announcer would work up enthuSi-
asrn for big business deal. One could
get excited easily If he were clocking
big merger as the boys wheeled their
millions into action. If you could get
into the arena Mr. Livermore, Mr.. Du-
rant, Mr.. Cutten and few such others,
there wouldn't be any trouble dramatic
ing it. But it would require highly spe-
cialized ability to warm it up the way
the announcers do foot ball game or
a horse race.
Pit Turmoil Causes Excitement.
Pondering over this, happened to
drop into the gallery of the Stock Ex-
change when there was a roaring big
session on. Here is phase of business
which ought to stir up any announcer
to an enthusiasm like that of a cham
pionship fight. All this turmoil in the
big pit, with the complicated ticker
machinery and the boiling and Stewing
and shouting, is one big spectacle which
radio hasn't gotten around to yet. That
recent big nose-dive would have made
great radio stuff There was plenty of
color and one of the most curious crowd
noises have ever heard. 1t would have
been mighty interesting to peg a few
microphones around the edges to get
that composite roar. 1t is unlike any
crowd noise of sports, and, for myself.

sharp yells of the traders in their bids
and acceptanceS, but / couldn't figure
out where the undertone was coming
from. Maybe some day the board of
governors of the exchange will let us
see what we can do with it.
Favors Speaker Regulation.
Now comes william McAdoo, chief
magistrate of New York, with the opin-
ion that radio speaker running wild
is nuisance. That's not news, but, of
course, Judge McAdoo means that it is
a nuisance in the legal sense, under the
the State law, which is supposed to put
any simon-pure nuisance, identified as
such, out of business.
In the first article wrote for this
newspaper unburdened myself rather
freely about the unsportsmanlike con-
duct of radio users who open their WIN
COWS and blast out into a peaceful
neighborhood. To me it seemed not
only an insufferable intrusion on the
rights of other people but something de-
cidedly harmful to the radio art and
industry. Since them do not claim

meal development of radio. Again, this
is generalization about the whole field.
AS to my own output, the sins be on my
head.
Largest Studio Is Planned.
When was in Chicago for the world
series the architects showed me the
plans of the partially completed new
studio of the National BroadcaSting Co.
in the Merchandise Mart Building there.
I confess that as New Yorker the new
layout took some of the wind out OF my
sails. This plant, with standing room
for 1000 persons, will be the largest
radio studio in the world, and there will
be five additional smaller studios. The
arrangements for soundproofing and
scientific acoustics in general reminded
me that the technicians have been
working fast in combing the burrs and
bubbles out of the air waves. The cloth
hangings which we use in New York
will be dispensed with, and there will
be new sound defiectors and other such
rigs which will mark the farthest reach

have been asked whether this means
that the center of radio broadcasting

it does not. New York probably will

for long time to come, and radio head
quarters must be close to the national
sources of talent. Then, too, the ar
rangenent of telephone wires for relay
ing programs keeps New York at the
point of origin of the inevitably west
bound traffic. However, Chicago and
the. entire Widdle Western region is
making splendid advances in all sorts
of radio achievement. Chicago is MAX
