Eatyllle, O.--It was the reedbrd
tliat first drew attention to the Eng.
l!sh sparrow as an article of food, and
now thousands OF the little fellows are
being killed daily in this state.
Sparrows were first put ON the bill
of fare In restaurants when the sup.
ply of reedbrds grew scarce, and, al.
though there was protest against the
imposition. persons who nte them
grew to like the birds, and now they
are eaten for what they are.
In the country districts the English
sparrow appears TO have changed his
habits. lie Is building his nests In
trees, and he Is more particular about
his food.
Just at this time of the year the
sparrow gathers In tremendous focks
and feeds on fallen grain among the
wheat stubble. Like the reedbird, he
Is as fat as butter. II IL not UNUSUAL
TO find Hocks containing several thou
sand birds.
In hunting them the smalleH shot
is used, and AZ many as 80 are killed
at single shot. The popular way, of
cooking them Is IN a potpie, but they
are excellent broiled.

GEORGETOWN MAY DROP
CREW FROM ITS SPORTS
Big squabble at Eastern College
Over Possibility Of Dismissal
Of Aquatics.

There has been discussion recently
over the possibility of rowing being
dropped from the list of sports at
Georgetown, and many persons have
been found in the undergraduate body
at the institution who are opposed to
the continuance Of what they choose
to consider losing venture. Against
these students many graduates are
likely to be found strongly opposed.
Judged yfrcm what can be learned 1t
will be fight OF graduate Vs. under
graduate, although there are many
men still students at Georgetown who
want the oarsmen to keep Gn trying.
The sentiment Of the college body Is
described by an alumnus as divided,
although there are many adherents OF
baseball and other spring sports who
are for having Georgetown quit q
game which has been supported un-

ported at the start of the season for
two crews. Now | do not believe that
any other college started out under

Russell himself was really new to
the game, although he had had some
