28 Cross-Country Radio Stations Reach Far Rooters, WHDH Local

With 28 radio stations throughout New England and the Eastern states carrying a broadcast of today's classic gridiron encounter with Yale, estimates of the number of radio listeners tuned into the game ran into the millions.

Foremost of the local stations carrying the broadcast is the Herald-Traveler's WHDH, operating at 850 kilocycles. In the New York City area, WLIB in Brooklyn will feature the game, according to William J. Bingham '16, director of Physical Education and Athletics. New Haven's WNHC and the Yale Network will keep stay-at-home Bulldog enthusiasts well-informed of the struggle with a play-by-play description of this latest in a venerable series of Harvard-Yale football battles.

No Estimate Available

WHDH's engineering department would offer no definite estimate of Saturday afternoon's radio audience listening to the game, but suggested that as high as 40 percent of the total 28-station potential radio audience, running into many millions, would be tuned into the football broadcast. Radio stations covering most of the major New Enkland cities, New York City and upstate, Philadelphia, and Baltimore will be included in the East Coast hook-up.

Cables will be sent to the Harvard Club in London at the half, and after the game with the final results. And finally, for graduates all over the nation, especially in major cities in the Mid-West and on the Pacific Coast, joint meetings of Harvard-Yale alumni organizations will follow the game by news-ticker.
