Nebraskan Arranges
For Broadcasting of
Grid Games byjiadio
Radio broadcasts, play by play, of
football games at Nebraska field, have
been arranged by the Daily Nebraskan
through the station in the Electrical
Engineering building. Bertram Ells
worth, the operator, promises that he
will be able to get reports from the
1 Kansas game at Lawrence. Since the
apparatus will send only a few hund
red miles, he is unable to obtain re
ports of the Oklahoma and Syracuse
games.
Even the cheering and the voices of
the cheer leaders will be audible to
those who tune in. The play-by-play
reports will come directly from the
reporter at the field, through a direct
telephone line, to the radio set on the
eampus. Mr. Ellsworth and Mr. Myer
afe at present remodeling and rebuild
ing the set. They are sure the instru
ments will be ready for use the first
gane, October 7. The aerial, too,
is out of use, but the support on the
power house stack will be repaired in
a few days. Various lecturers will
be broadcasted this winter, according
to Mr. Ellsworth.
