Thus the Tigers have a chance to
close the small gap separating them
from the Griffmen. Succeeding, they
will bring on a hot battle for third
place next week when Mcbride
team arrives in Detroit. Unless the
Griffs at least break even here and
in Detroit, they will go home in fourth
place.
Winning three games here, as they
did in May, the Griffs can gain ap.
preciably on the leaders, but better
than that, they can contribute to a
scrambling Of the clubs in the first
division. Furthermore, winning three
games from the champions will send
the Griffs to Detroit Tuesday night In
a good mood to repeat against the
Tigers and go home successful on this
lengthy tour.
Therefore, 1t may easily be seen
how important these two remaining
series are. Upon them hinges the
possibility OF the Washington club
to remain up with the contenders
Losing both series will just about kill
whatever small chance the team may
now have of lettering it's position.

Rescuing Fish
Keeps Men Busy

Down in Louisiana where the
streams abound in black bass, perch,
catfish, sunish, and many other
varieties of the fnny tribe, fishermen
have frequently had poor luck, be-
cause thousands of fine game fish
were stranded in shallow pools and
killed by the sun. Tides affect 400
miles Of the best fishing streams and
by a recent decision of the State De-
partment Of Conservation in .Louisi-
ana, an attempt is being made to save
the fish. Eight men have been as
signed to this task. They patrol the
streams and throw the recently
stranded fish back into the current of
the streams. In order to know the

break. Captain Holton, who also has
been out of the game owing to an in
jured ankle, is improving and was
out for practice yesterday and the in
dications are that he will be in shape
to play against Penn.
The entire football squad was given
a hard general practice yesterday af-
ternoon. Coach Derby had charge of
one squad for a time while Coach
Shipley assisted him by taking charge
of another squad. Following this
there was practice Of punting and
catching the ball. Coach Derby made
the players run back the punts to
give the men a chance to do some
tackling and encouraged them to hit
the man with the ball hard and low.
After this there was work on the
tackling dummy and a trot around
the cinder path, and then the showers.
Two more men who reported for
the first time yesterday were lied
Dantz and "Bill" Boyce. They were
scrubs last year but both have lot
of pep and may have chance for the
varsity.
The work was not exceptionally
hard yesterday because Of the several
cripples on the team but as they are
improving fast the entire squad with
one or two exceptions should be in
good shape by Friday. By that time
it is possible that one or two OF the
players who made the varsity last
wear and who have been talking Of
entering other colleges, will have
made up their minds to return to
Delaware.
Among those who were out for
practice yesterday were, Captain Hol-
ton, Cole, Naughton, McKelvey, Will
liams, Lilly, Manning, Rothrock,
Goffigan, Boyce, Jackson, Dantz,
Hurff, Leamy, Bachman, Price,
Elliott, Donaldson, Magaw and Aiken
