N-A-E-B ATHLETIC PICK-UP EXCHANGE SERVICE Western Conference NAEB stations have arranged an exchange-service plan to facili¬ tate the problem of making remote pickups from intercollegiate athletic contests and similar events. Eight of the nine universities in the league (Northire stern has no station) are signatures to the agreement. Under the plan the radio station of the institution where the game is being played will provide engineering help and tho necessary equipment to make the pickup. The visiting school will supply its own announcer, unless specifically arranged other¬ wise. It will call for and pay for any additional help, such as spotters or botwecn-halves reporters, which may be needed. This will enable the announcer to travel fast and light—by piano if desired—without being encumbered with equipment. All parties to the arrangement have agreed to supply this service for a flat charge of 315 (except I innesota—,)25) which is expected to be about the actual average cost of paying for the extra help needed. In case you want to make a pickup at one of the car puses, and want to make arrange¬ ments, gets in touch with these people. University of Illinois, WILL, Frank E.
