Pennsylvania to Try
New Football Schedule

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. "a. - Forced
out of the Big -Four for the coming sea-
son through the concerted action of
Yale. Harvard, and Princeton. Pennsyl-
vania has decided to shatter her exist
ing tentative football schedule and
build for the ensuing season with a view
to securing strong and worthy contests
to keep up her past reputation on the
grdiron.
In order to do this Pennsylvania has
decided 10 contest with bothS the Uni
versitY of Pittsburg and Syracuse next
fall. and thus give active competition TO
Princeton in the excellent schedule
which the Orange and Black has ar
ranged for her 1911 season.
The University of PittSburg was the
minor college sensation of the previous
season, and her goal line was unCrossed
duIing the year. while she piled up the
biggest number of points Of any institu-
tion in this section.
AS most of the tremendously powerful
eleven of last year is to remain at Pitts
burg, the strength of this proposed new
foe can he readily seen.
1t Is almost a certainty that the In
dians will be moved forward to October
%, and Penn will arrange a game out
of town for November 4.

Innocentlv reposing in the safe of a
committee room in the House office
building Is a bill which, if it should be-
come a law, would be staggering blow
TO the thousands of srOrtsmen who an
nually enjoy fishing in the waters OF
the District of Columbia.
The proposed legislation. in short,
prohibits the catching of any perch less
than eight inches long. and prescribes
as a penalty the confiscation of all nets,
boats, and other cOntrivances found in
the possession of persons convicted of
violating the provisions of 1.-The act.
The bill was introduced by Represent
ative 6. ". Smith of Michigan, chair
man of the House Committee on the
District, and it is understood the act has
the approval of several prominent MIN
rods who seldom fish in these parts, but
who make long trips Up the river for
one or more DAYS outing.
Such a law as is suggested would
have little effect upon the up-river
fishermen, but to those who have
neither the time nor money for ex-
tended trips, it would work as a dis
tinct hardship, as less than = per cent

Possession Is Unlawful.
Part of the bill, as referred to the
committee, follows:
That it shall be unlawful for any
person or persons to have in his or her
possession, in the District of Columbia,
at any time during the year, either dead
or alive, any rockfish. striped bass, or
small or large mouth black bass having
a length of less than nine inches. when
measured from the tip of the snout to
the tip of the tail, or any species of fish
known as the white or yellow perch,
measuring a length Of less than eight
inches, when measured from the tip of
the snout to the tip of the tail.
That any person violating any or
the provisions of this amendment shall,

TEAM TO BLACK Up
FOR TRIP MONEY
Catholic University Students
Adopt Ingenious
Methods.

The way in which the boys in
Brookland intend to push that base
ball team this season is already be-
ginning to assert itself.
I The student body of the Catholic
University has undertaken to raise
enough money to send the team on a
couple of large trips, and the man
ner of travel will be in the most ap-
proved fashion. To do this will take
money. and some of the ingenious
ones have hit upon an idea. They are
going to give a minstrel show.
\ real. live, regular, first-class min
streI show. Invitations have been
sent out to members of the alumni
soliciting their aid. and from the
manner in which these requests have
been responded to the success of the
enterprise is already assured.
The first performance will be given
to the old soldiers in the National
Soldiers Home on the first of next
month. Then they will entertain the
town folk of Brookland, and expect
to reap a large revenue from that
source. They will put a show on at
Carroll Hall and then make a trip
further north in the city to the parish
hall of the Immaculate Conception.
The officers of the athletic associa-
tion are at the back of the movement
and are considering an offer to do a
little transforming.
The West Baltimore Art Club has
extended an invitation to the black
face comedians to visit their club
and present their show. If the per-
formances on this end warrant the
undertaking of such a mission there
is some talk of the troupe going to
Baltimore. and in this event an ad-
ditional stake may be CLEANED.
The object of the show Is to afford
entertainment, and. after that, to get
the money" So say the promoters
However that may be. II is now a GER
tainty that the baseball team will
spend a week in and around Pitts
burg as the guests of the Glover Club
of that city. While there they will
play four or five games. A tentative
schedule has ALREADY been drawn up,
including games with the University
of Pittsburg W. and j.. Pittsburg
College. and st. Vincents, at Latrobe,
Pa.
Through the generosity of the
Glover Club. an organization COM
posed entirely of electrical engineers
who are now at Westinghouse. the

full privilege of the new and costly

day, and spend the leisure time in
visits around and through the sur

BILL THREATENS
DISTRICT FISH HING
Proposed Legislation Would Prohibit Catching of Perch
Less Than Eight Inches in Length-Capital MINI
rods Object to T erms of Measure.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

, fine shall be imprisoned in the work
house for period not to exceed six
months.
"That all nets. boats, and other com
trivances found in the possession OF
persons convicted Of violating the pro-
visions of this act shall be cOntiSCated
TO the District of Columbia. and the
same shall be sold At auction to the
highest bidder by the property clerk
of said District and the proceeds there
from be deposited with the collector of
taxes as are other revenues of said
District"
Discussing the bill, one OF the most
experienced of the veteran fishermen OF
the District today said:
Bass Limitation Proper.
The limitation of the size OF bass TO
nine inches is proper and right. but
whoever advocated the prohibition Of
taking any perch under eight inches is
ignorant of the subject. 1 have been
an ardent perch fisherman for thirty
five years, and have caught thousands
of tish annually. and have studied their
bits
I'm the first place. the perch is small
fish, and not one in hundreds ever
reaches the length Of eight inches, and
only few of the many millions OF
these fish that inhabit our river ever
exceed that size. To prohibit their
catch would be practically to prohibit
perch fishing in the District. The pass
age of this act would not have the ef-
feet of diminishing the catch Of hun
dreds of thousands of perch in the
Seines and trap-nets down the Potomac
river and its tributaries outside of the
jurisdiction of the District. but It
would deprive our market of the de-
Iightful food fish which can now be
obtained at reasonable prices.
In the second place the perch need
no protection whatever; they are in no
danger of even being diminished IN
numbers or size, by reason of a few
thousand being caught the previous
year. They were Just as plentiful in
the spring of 1910 as they were thirty
five years ago. The exact humber,
which l and few guests with me in
my boat caught last spring was 1915
perch, which exceeded the record Of
1909 by a few hundred. but was about
the average of the number caught every
year It will be time enough to pro-
tect the perch when there is any ap-
preciable diminution in their number.
