The Crimson Network, undergraduate broadcasting station, has obtained exclusive broadcasting rights for the Harvard Tufts football game tomorrow, Network officials said yesterday after a conference with Carrell F. Getchell, Harvard Athletic Association publicity director.
Running the program as an experiment aimed at similar coverage of the Brown game, November 17, the Network will be on the air from 2:55 o'clock until 5, with Louis Weinman '46 giving a play-by-play account of the game and Theodore L. Rowland '48 backing him up with color.
No Radio Coverage Since Harvard v. Yale.
The Network sportscasters will use the regular radio studio in the Stadium press box, facilities not employed since the Harvard-Yale game in 1941 was broadcast by a commercial network. If its Tufts broadcast is considered successful, the Network will continue its football coverage for at least the next three or four Varsity informal games.
This will be the Network's first attempt at play-by-play football announcing, though a swimming meet was broadcast by the station several years ago. If broadcasting privileges of the Brown game are secured, the Network's program are secured, the Network's program may go to over a hundred other colleges through the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System.
As an additional service, the Network promises music for spectators to dance and drink to after the game. Called "Artistry in Rhythm," the program will be aired from 5 o'clock until 7.
