Tune-In Bulletin for October 28, November 4, 11 and 18!

There's a new program starting tonight on NBC-Blue at 8:30. Called Youth vs. Age, it's a quiz program and stars Cal Tinney. November 4: Highlighting the football broadcast schedule is the Army-Notre Dame game, on both CBS end NBC this afternoon. Holy Cross plays Providence, and CBS stations in the East wili broadcast the game. At 1:45, MBS brings you the Michigan vs. Illinois game. November II: It's Armistice Day, but somehow this year the holiday doesn't seem to have much significance. . . . The annual Red Cross roll call is on CBS from 10:30 until I 1:30 tonight. Norman Davis is master of ceremonies, and several Hollywood stars are taking part. . . . Football broadcasts: Holy Cross vs. Temple, on the Eastern CBS network; Wisconsin vs. Illinois, on MBS at 1:45. November 18: The day's football: Northwestern vs. Notre Dame on Mutual at 1:15. . . . Holy Cross vs. Carnegie Tech on CBS Eastern stations. ON THE AIR TODAY: Football broadcasts — on any network, and at almost any time from 1:30 Eastern Standard Time until 5:00 Pacific Standard Time. For the fall season of America's greatest intercollegiate sport is in full swing right now and radio is doing its best to put all the highlights on the air. CBS' star, of course, is Ted Husing — in 1939 as he has been since 1927. Ted has only one assistant when he broadcasts a game — Jimmy Dolan. In all his career he has had only two assistants: first Les Quailey and now Dolan. They always go to the scene of a game three days in advance of the broadcast. Ted's proudest possession is his light box, a mysterious electrical contraption which enables Dolan, on the sidelines, to signal Ted the names of the players on the field. It takes Ted and Jimmy about three hours to adjust. Over at NBC, Bill Stern is announcing a game. Bill uses two "spotters," or assistants, one from each team. Much of the time he doesn't really need them, because he too arrives at the scene of a game three days before it takes place and carefully memorizes the names and peculiarities of the players. Bill has been broadcasting football since he was fourteen years old — though at that time he wasn't talking into any microphone. He used to climb up over the fence at the University of Rochester, sit on the sidelines and talk the game to himself all afternoon. To this day he doesn't know why he did this, but it was wonderful practice. Growing up, he first tried radio in Rochester, but his home town would have none of him, and he wandered from station to station all over the country, until one day in 1933 Graham McNamee needed an assistant in a hurry. Bill happened to be around and McNamee grabbed him. He hadn't been on the air two minutes when NBC wired and offered him a steady Job. Mutual will be broadcasting a couple of games this afternoon — one in the midwest and one in the far west. Possibly a still different game will be heard by its eastern listeners. All the midwestern games find Ou'n Ryan and Bob Elson at the MBS microphone. Ou'n. station manager of WGN, has been broadcasting football for fifteen years, and has never missed a season; while Elson is just as much at home in football as in baseball. Out on the Pacific Coast, Mutual calls on Frank Bull and Homer Welborn for all its football assignments, including the traditional East-West Shriners game on New Year's Day from San Francisco. In the east, various announcers handle the assignments. 52 SAY HELLO TO . . . SELENA ROYLE— who plays the title role in Hilda Hope. M.D., on NBC-Red at 11:30 this morning. She's one of America's finest actresses, and has been a Broadway star for twenty years. Born in New York, she is the daughter of famous playwright-actor Edwin Milton Royle. During the depression she originated "Actors' Dinners" to which the public was invited, and whose profits went to caring for out-of-work members of the theatrical profession. Lately she's been devoting all her time to the radio, and has the leading role in "Woman of Courage," a daily serial on CBS, as well as in Saturday's Hilda Hope, M.D. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
