Well. here's the latest fishing story.
as told by William Lucas, assistant
yardmaster of the Third street yard
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany.
Mr.. Lucas was with a fishing party
just off Lewes, and was fishing for
black fish. when John L. Wright, the
owner of the boat. uttered a sudden
cry. and the party turned just in time
10 see Mr.. Wright haul TO the surface
IA man-eating shark about feet long.
The sight Of the crowd seemed to
enrage the shark and he made a
dive at the boat. The shark made a
snap at Mr. Wright and bit through
his coat, its saw-like teeth scraping
his arm. Another occupant of the
boat hastily snatched up a hammer
and struck the big fish in the head,
stunning it. II was then taken ashore
and killed Mr.. Lucas says that the
story can be verified at Lewes by
Mr.. Wright Lighthouse Keeper Lyons
and several other persons.

e@Coach McAvoy stated that while
several minor changes were talked
over the rule that brought out the
hnost discussion was relative to the
onside kick. Last year kicker had
Ito be at least five yards behind the
line of scrimmage, but under change
lin the rules this year the player can

(nOaoh McAvoy stated that it practi-
lcally revives the old onside kick Of
two years ago. which was so popular.
Kicks may be returned by the defen-
'eive team at any time, and il is also
bossible 10 return the kick-off by punt
ing. In the opinion Of Coach Nc
IAvoy. the change will tend TO open up
The defense and will encourage on
