STATE SEEKS FOURTH
TITLE AT WRESTLING

Special Despatch TO THE NEW York HERALD.
STATE COLLEGE Pa. March 12.-The
intercollegiate wrestling championship
for the fourth successive year IS the
aim of the Penn State grapplers who
leave for Princeton next week to meet
the other members Of the league in the
annual tournament. Not once since
years ago, have tile Nittany mat men
failed to carry away the crown, although
on two occasions they were closely
pushed by Cornell and Lehigh.
Coach Lewis viii make no predictions
concerning the championships this year.
The record made to date has been an
exceedingly impressive one. with de-
cislve victories over Penn. Lehigh. Cor
nell and Harvard. The first three are
counted upon TO furnish the stiffest OPP
position in the coming tournament, the
other members OF the league being Vale,
Princeton and Columbia. Harvard Is
not member OF the league.
While Penn state probably could de-
feat any other member OF the league in
a dual meet, the matter Of winning the
title Is an entirely different matter.
Whereas the Blue and White aggrega-
don Is well balanced and fairly strong In
every class. the other teams boast of
individual stars and with these as
sembled IN the various classes, the go
Ing will be rather tough IN spots.
Detar is conceded TO be the best l35
pound grappler in college ranks, and he
no doubt viii retain the title no won
last year. Mowrer. the veteran IS
FOUNDER who was eliminated in the
first round last year by Mcbride Of
Cornell. Is out % redeem himself in his
last year on the mats. and II his re-
cent victory over Mcbride in the Cor
nell meet Il any indication, he should
come through 70 victory Ashby Of Penn
will probably be hls hardest foe.
quite a bit Is being expected OF Jake
CARRIER i25 pound vet" who worked
himself into third place last year Gar
Der knows the game. and his experience
In trying for the Olympic team last
summer has stood him in good stead.
Spangier. at lT5 pounds. Is another vet
eran in experience. although this IS his
first year as o regular. Watson, the
midget 1i5 FOUNDER. has yet TO meet his
match this year, and although new
conner, he may come through 70 the
title. Oehrle, at 145. and Mcmahon. at
heavyweight, complete the state team
both being new men who have shown
I'D well thus far.

ROD AND GUN NEWS

menhaden I'm May, 1920 thousands OF
dead menhaden were seen floating on the
Staten Island Sound. or XIII van Kull near
Perth Amboy. and also In the Raritan River
at the head of Raritan Bay. near South
Amboy. IL Is believed by the fishermen tha,
the death Of the fish was caused by pollu-
tlon by factories along the shore in tina,
section. As our laws do not cover the pollu-
ton of salt waters the matter was referred
to the State Board OF Health In June
quantities OF menhaden were seen floating
In the Shrewsbury River Ia Monmouth
county and also In the Delaware Bay. These
two bodies OF water arc not directly pollute,
by any factories, and as no fish excepting
menhaden were affected Il Is possible that
their death was caused by waste oil iron,
vessels, the menhaden feeding nearer the
surface than any other fish.
Some OF tho seaside municipalities arc
concerned In the amount OF oil which has
appeared on the waters OF the Atlantic
Ocean.
''Dr Royal 8. Copeland. Health Comrnis-
soner OF New York city, has been named
chairman OF a committee TO formulate a
plan 70 bring rhe situation as related 10 the
municipalities 10 the attention OF the legis-
latures IN New Jersey and New York. at tho
same time considering the matter OF the
dumping Of garbage of New York near tho
coast line"
Several residents OF Staten Island re-
ported 10 the Rod and Gun editor last sen T.
son that great quantities OF dead menhaden
were plling up on the beach. One resident
Of Pleasant Plains said that the stencil from
the dead fish was annoying many residents
who lived near the beach.
