...latter part of the scrimmage the Jayvees marched down the field to the Varsity 25-yard line from midfield on a beautiful pass from Gardiner Prouty to Nat Tenney. Dan Comfort stopped the invasion when he intercepted a second Jayvee pass on the 20-yard line and ran it back to the 30. Nothing of note happened during the rest of the scrimmage...
...series with "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen." Almost as striking as the Spalding-Castoria conjunction will be the crooning of Helen Morgan for Bi-So-Dol, stomach sweetener, at 2 p. m. Sundays. Tenor John McCormack will sing lush Irish ballads for Vince mouthwash. Spindling Nat Shilkret & orchestra will provide a background for the Vitamin A in Smith Brothers couph-drops.

Whatever critical listeners may think of Nat Burns's gags they do sell Robert Burns cigars. In a study of radio advertising's effectiveness in 1931 Professor Robert F. Elder of M. I. T. reported that Robert Burns had 25% more smokers in radio homes than in non-radio homes. This year he reported that the advantage had increased to 260%. Radiomen think that Guy Lombardo and his orchestra, also on the General Cigar program, deserve praise for this increase as well as Burns & Allen...
