A1NShA4eANNN@~~A
Fifty cleared radio channels should
be authorized in spite Of the fact
that such action would reduce the
air-time OF many small stations,
Federal Radio Commissioner o. b.
Caldwell declared today.
Reiterating that tie regulation OF
radio should go back to the Com.
merce Department because of the
difficulty of agreement in q five.
man commission, Caldwell pointed
out that the 40-cIeared channel pro.
vision Of the newest ALLEGATION has
failed TO meet the requirements Of
the country.
Many Difficulties
Caldwell pointed to the difficulty
in adjusting the Iowa, New York,
Ohio, Indiana and other cOmplS-
Gated situations where these States
were deprived of radio facilities TO
which they believed themselves en-
titled, TO back up his plea Tor ten
additional cleared channels for high
power stations.
The time has come to talk in
terms of service to the public and
not in terms Of the number OF
stations" Caldwell declared "A
5OO.watt station will serve one
county. OF about 1000 square miles.
A 5,OO0.watt station will serve an
area of 5O0,0 900 square miles, and
a 5O-kilowatt station ten times that
territory, or, under good broadcast
ing conditions, most Of the coun-
try"
Fifty cleared channels would give
ten high-power wave lengths to
each zone, and would clear up such
situations as the fight of the Gen.
eral Electric station. WGY, which
has filed an injunction against the
commission because it was forced
to share q channel with KGO, OF

ALL OF CADETSF|T
EXCEPTING O'KEEFE
Quarterback Will Be Unable
to Play in Stanford
Game Saturday.

By the Associated Press.
- TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calf,
December 26.-Light signal prac-
tice followed a sightseeing tour
- Of San Francisco for the West
Point eleven today as it reached
the tapering-off stage in preparation
for the intersectional game with STAN
ford University here Saturday.
The Cadets saw picturesque China
town and other points of interest in
the city by the golden gate in the
morning and then returned to the
campus for short workout in the
afternoon.
With one exception, every man on
the Army squad seemed in perfect con-
dition for Saturdays game. The ex-
ception is Dick O'Keefe, stellar quar-.
terback, who has been out with injuries
since the Yale game and who will be
mar, West Point end, who was suffer-
ing from a slight cold early in The
week, has recovered and will start
against the Cardinals.
Post game plans as announced today
provide for the departure Of the Cadets
on their special train early Sunday.
They will arrive at Glendale, Calf,
Sunday afternoon; spend Monday tour
ing the movie studios in Hollywood and
as luncheon guests of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, and also attend
a reception in San Bernardino.
Stanford likewise tapered off today
as the card varsity approached game
time 1t was apparent that Walt
Heinecke, star center, will see most if
not all of his last collegiate gridiron
experience with Stanford from the side
lines or hear it over the radio from
his bed in hospital. Heinecke was
still suffering from fever and a cold
today and Warner has little expects
ton of using him against the Army.

26.-After a day of rest and
participation in Christmas fes-
IL ttvtties, the University of South
ern California foot ball squad
today took up the routine of practice
in preparation for its New Year day
battle in Pasadena with the Pittsburgh
Panthers..
Despite the fact that the powerful
Pitt team win enter the game as ia.
vorites over the Trojan aggregation,
Coach Howard Jones has expressed sat-
iSfaction over the performance Of his
boys In recent practice struggles and
feels that his team will go into the Rose
Bowl classic mentally and physically
capable. Grid experts who have seen
the Trojans In action in recent DAYS
are confident that the team, individ-
ually and collectively, is at the peak of
its effectiveness
A final polishing up on defense
against the deceptive Panther plays will
keep the Trojans busy during the few
remaining days before the Tournament
OF roses contest. The Trojans' decisive
victory two weeks ago over Carnegie
Tech has convinced fans that the
Pacific Coast team is Of championship
caliber and predict that the Fasteners
from Pittsburgh will have their hands
fun when they buck UP against the
Southern California machine.

NEW YORK, December 26.-The
program for tonight's action In the bat
tie for places in the American division
Of the National Hockey League gives
the second-place contenders their best
chance in some time to gain a little
ground on Boston's rampant Bruins.
Boston is tackling the tough assignment
OF playing two games in different cities
on successive nights.
The Bruins ran their string Of vic
tories to eight in succession last night
by trouncing the Toronto Leafs, 6 to 2,
and II they can keep that pace against
the New York Rangers tonight, most OF
the others will be about ready to con-
cede them first place in their section
at least. Boston has defeated the
Rangers, who now are in third place,
once this season, but not under such
conditions. Another victory tonight
would come close to putting the Rangers
out OF the running. Although the
Bruins have been going at remark
able rate this season, in the long run
the Rangers figure to win about as
many games from the other eight clubs,
and the series between these rivals NAV
.uAA ouC " DC Ile ueclulnS 1acCor in
the standing.
The Bruin scoring machine had a
fairly easy time gaining last nights
victory after a scoreless first period.
They rolled up three goals in the second
frame and made 1t SO before Toronto:
could tally. Cooney Weiland, little Bos-
ton center, scored twice and gained the
top OF the league in goal-getting with
25-point total.
While this battle is going on, Chi
Cages Black Hawks, who are in a nip
and-tuck battle with the Rangers for
second place in the American group,
continue their road tour to Montreal
to meet the rugged MaroonS, second in
the international group. A victory
means a lot on either side. If the
Rangers win, Chicago must do it, too,
or drop back to third place, while u
Maroon victory would put them at the
head Of their group as their rival Cana
diens are idle.
The Detroit Cougars, after Tuesdays
failure to beat the international group
tail-ender the New York Americans,
try again against the Pittsburgh Pirates,
who are at the bottom of the American
group. Detroit scored a 6-1 vistory
over the Pirates only last Sunday and
are favored to repeat.
