What Knute Rockne did for
Notre Dame with o football.
Rudy Valee is duplicating In a
small way for the University Of
Maine. '"The Stein Song" has
become one Of the most popular
ditties heard over the air al
though some folks find it hard
to reconcile a beer tune with a

part Of the language. The Ward
Tip Top program will feature

ually as the visit Of the laundry
man. Which is by way Of say
ing that President Hoover will
be on the air this forenoon from
the State, War and Navy Building
where he will conduct q telephone
