Now Commercials
 Can Be Cut Off

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (P) - A gadget which automatically sil- ences a radio during some "com- mercials" has been invented by Massachusetts physicist. -.
 Dr. R. Clark ones of Polaroid Corporation demonstrated his ma chine before the Acoustical Soci- ety of America Friday-but com pany officials said nothing definite has been decided about manufac- turing it for public sale.
 The device works because of a fundamental difference between music and speech
 When attached to a radio, the gadget silences the set after one or two syllables of speech-then puts the set back on when the music resumes.
 Dr. Jones conceded his machine has one failing, however. Singing commercials and batter songs such as those turned out by Gill bert and Sullivan-can confuse it.

However, the Black and Red
gridders have no intention of let

they did last season when the
Tigers clawed the local team, 1877,
for their only victory of the '49
campaign. AS always, past rec
ords mean absolutely nothing in
this neighborhood grudge battle
and both teams will have to be at
their peak to pry loose a victory.
The Heights eleven got off to
q poor start this fall by losing
four straight games to Glenville,
Each Tech, Lakewood and Lorain.
They did an about face in their
next three contests, however, by
chalking up three ~uccessive vic
tories over East, Elyria and
Parma.
On the basis of their unexpected
reversal of form, the Tigers were
then heavy favorites to defeat
Shaker last week but they fell
apart at the seams and looked very
ragged in dropping a 25-6 deci-
sion to the Red Raiders.
Extensively, the two teams are
