LOYAL TO HIS COMRADES,
TAKES BLAME FOR HAZING
Midshipman Arnold Penalized With
100 Demerits-Academy
Stands by Him.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. November 4.-Joseph
c. Arnold of Pennsylvania, n third class
nan at the Naval Academy, is undergo
ing punishment just short Of dismissal
for mis- connection with the hazing of two
fourth classmen Sunday, October %. in
I e presence of two young women. His
escape is due to the fact that when other
midshipmen were in danger he confessed
and assumed all resp visibility.
Whether Arnold was the only offender
or is a scapegIat is not definitely known.
but there is strong reaSon TO believe that
he is Il vicarious sacrifice, and that but
for his generous conduct other midship-
men would be in danger OF dismissal.
Arm, Id will get 100 demeri,s, be deprived
of all privileges and kept within e
be unds of the academy fol one year. This
entails missing the Army-Navy foot ball
game-no mean punishment In itself.
AS Arnold already has a number of de-
merits, and only 20 are allowed during
a term 1t will take careful behavior on
his part to get through.
It is understood that members OF the
second class. one of whom has been avet
by Arnold's generous action. will stand
by him and do everything possible to
save him from dement's. In fact, e
whole academy is anxious that Arnold
shall remain In the service.

Many sportsmen are dividing their time
between river and field. being equally
willing to catch a few fish or shoot rab-
bits or birds An occasional sportsman
is found who prefers to go after turkey
but a single gunner rarely kills many
of the king fowls.
Scores of anglers have deserted the
upper Potomac for points down the river,
finding plymouth bass more plentiful
than they do the game small-mouth spe-
cies in the upper river.
Large numbers have visited Occoquan
recently and returned with stories of big
catches. A great many perch, catfish and
pike OF large size are being taken from
the water at Occoduan. 1t is reported
that birds and rabbits are quite plentiful
near the place, enabling some of the
sportsmen to combine fishing and hunting
on their outings.
John w. Hurley was lone fisherman
last Sunday at Weverton. He made a
successful catch. returning with string
of thirty-one fish. One of them weighed
three and q half pounds. the largest OF
the thirty-one, while two others weighed
two and a half pounds each. The others
weighed from thrce-fourths of pound
to one and half pounds.
This is the season of the year to catch
bass Hurley says. and many big ones
ought to be caught. The river is filled
with fish, and by trying several varieties
of bait ii Is an easy matter to get
them"
Fish caught last Sunday. he stated.
seemed more fond of chubs than they did
of mad toms Only two fish were caught
with mad TOMS and II was necessary 20
do an amount of casting to make them
rise. There was not much done by those
who did still fishing.
Charles Macnichol was in Hurley's class
last Sunday. He was deserted by his
fishing companion and it was necessary
for him to so it alone. He went to
Point of Rocks. his favorite place. His
boatman disheartened him by telling him
fishing would not be very good.
Bass were biting we'll yesterday" he
was told by the boatman. land you know
they don't often bite well two days in
succession
Sort OF fill UP one day and rest the
next the angler sug. ested.
The d.scouraa information did not
keep him off the river, He towed his
boat upstream a short distance and fished
back to Point of Rocks. About twenty
bass came his way to be caught. His
only complaint was that many OF them
were small, and he was obliged to put
them back in the river.
George Lewis and Henry Otto selected
Catoctin as the place to give the bass
trial last Sunday. They went up on the
morning train and were fishing by IL
o'clock leaving the river in time to catch
the evening train.
Bass were plentiful enough said
Lewis when ne returned, but they were
lifeless. 1t was necessary to strip the
line in order to make them run. There
was not lie enough in them to give us
the pleasure Of hearing the clicking of the
reel"
ne two anglers landed a score of fish.
