GRID FANS OF RADIO
PROVE kNOWL EDGE
Husing Finds, Through Poll, That
Listeners Really Under
stand Game.

Ted Husing, Columbias sport an
nouncer and one Of three experts who
conducted the first popular poll ever
held to pick an all-America foot ball
team, believes that radio fans through
out the country have an excellent un-
derstanding and appreciation of the
gridiron sport.
Husing arrived at that belief after
having examined the $4,000 ballots sub
mitted in the poll which was announced
during broadcast of the Trumpeters'
program over the Columbia network.
Those who sent in ballots gave a
completely satisfactory set of reasons
as to why they selected their teams, -
HuSing said Il should say that high
powered 'bOning' enabled the contest
ants to choose a team which compares
favorably with the eleven which the
consensus will disclose"
The poll brought out the fact that
many foot ball enthusiasts have become
familiar with the technicalities of foot
ball. although far removed from collie
g1ate centers. Radio broadcasting Is
seen by the sponsors of the "all" team
ballot as having furthered this nation

them many "YL's," or young ladies,
and a few "OW's," or older ladies,
represent perhaps the most pro-
life source from which radio
broadcasting and all other
branches of the radio industry
draw their technical talent.
They're not ham" actors, by
any means, those amateurs, for
many of them are highly prof.
cient in the radio arts. K. B.
Warner, secretary of the Amer
ican Radio Relay League, national
amateur organization, in an edi-
torial in the current "QST," the
amateur radio magazine, explains
the derivation of the term.
The word ham" as applied to
radio had its derivation in the
word amateur" ittelf. Among
the wire telegraph fraternity a
beginning operator was called a
ham" William Henry Nugent,
in an article in the American
Mercury some time ago, states
that this country learned it's first
lesson in sports journalism and
sports slang from the British, who
early invented special style and
vocabulary that included the alb
breviation of amateur" to am"
Cockney foot racers and pugilists
of the seventies pronounced it
ham"
Webster says that an amateur
Is "one who is attached to or
cultivates a particular pursuit,
study or science from taste, with
out pursuing it professionally"
That Is what the amateurs do
They take not cent for the mes
sages they will send for you or
your friends-if they are non
commercial messages - between
the cities where they are located.
They're in the game just for the
fun of it.

KELLOGG, Iowa LPy.-One secret of

peHeVes, Is TO put hens on a l2-hour
Gay, and TO allow no loafing.
80 at 5 am. he turns on the electric

He requires that his hens eat enough.
ano in Winter feeds his leghorns al
taiia besides an ordinary grain ration.
Hens laying fewer than 288 eggs an
hGally are sold. Craven says he doesn't
want q lew exceptionally high produc-
ers, but aims at a uniformly high pro-

flock.
Proper housing, feed, sunshine
fresh air, and plenty of clean water ali
help poultry-aS in the case of human
beings-develop to the best possible
point" Craven maintains.

About the only means of defense against a no-trtump declaration is the establishment of a suit before Declarer can es- tablish one of his long suits. The card that should be led from his longest suit depends upon the structure of the suit itself and the contingency of re-entry card. So we consider:
 (a) The number of honors held i'm the suit;
 (b) The length of the suit;
 (c) Whether the hand contains a re-entry.
 A short formula will act as . guide to the player who contem- plates making an opening lead against a no-trump declaration, and, while this formula is not absolutely accurate. it will cover about 97Gb of the situations.
