fish are caught in Wheeling creek in

No bait Is needed or hooks according

The fish come to the top of the water
and garden rake is used to rake them
in. They make very little fuss in try

Members say these fish are doped as
they come to the top Of the water and
seem to have but little life. They are
taken to the club, put in the bath tub
and are revived. This Is caused on
account Of the acid and poison which
is thrown into the creek by manufac-

is the star on whom the Blue depends
to wrest back the gridiron honors
Harvard has been monopolizing in
the east.
LIE Gore was suspended following an
investigation by university officials,
who charged him with playing sum-
mer baseball with a semi-pro team on
Long Island.
Playing at his old position, left
halfback, lie Gore has been sensa-
ton this year.
He played only few minutes in
the Virginia game and contributed
the first touchdown, on a 25-yard
dash through broken field. A little
later he caught a punt and raced 65
yards for a touchdown This. how
ever, was not allowed on account OF
holding.
In scrub game last week, LIE
Gore scored a touchdown ann kicked
a field goal within two minutes after
the kickoff.
The east is already rating lie Gore
the greatest individual star of the
season. He is rated the best open
field runner Yale has had since Ted
Coy, and his punting and drop kick
ing are exceptional.
