For quarterbacks Warner has Mitch

The team did some fine forward
passing in the second period and
in the final period against California,
and actually pulled out a tie after the
score was 20 to 6 against II, so
that II goes without saying, Stanford Is
liable to do some of this work against
Notre Dame. But Notre Danes de-

Stanford undoubtedly will find out.
INLAY Is Smiths Star.
Turning now to the chances of the
University of California against Penn.
we have here a team whose back
field is clever, and in Talma Inlay
Berkeley has halfback who is ex-
tremely elusive, and behind a line
split off at end, with Inlay back
in a diagonal, Andy Smith has a very
excellent screened forward pass and
also a good running play, which has
upon several occasions got Inlay
loose for a considerable gain. In
Jimmie Dixon he has another half
back who is a good one, elusive and
fast. Neither of these men is heavy.
Smith has in Schaffnit a more avail
able man for line bucking, as he
weighs 1S5, and in Jabs, $50 pounds,
a man who can hit fairly hard. In
Young he has a fullback close to
$50 pounds, who has played very
good game this year. Carlson is his
best quarter. and a very clever one,
and pretty sturdy, as he weighs 40
pounds.
When it comes to the line, Smith
has in HorrelI one of the best centers
Of the year. 1855, experienced, agrees

When asked recently how long II
had been since any small mouth bass
had been placed in the upper Potomac
DR.. Leech of the Bureau of Fisheries
said he would have to look up his
records TO find out. He said that
the small-mouth bass were hard 10
raise, because the least climatic
change affected them and caused them
to leave their spawning nests.
1t is true that the Potomac River
beyond the District line Is under the
jurisdiction of the State of Maryland
but the majority of anglers fishing
in its waters are local anglers. This
being the case, II would seem that
steps should be taken by local anglers
and angling associations to have this
stream restocked.
Leeoh said that the bureau would
be back OF any effort to have the
good old Potomac restocked with
snall-mouth bass, and would go to
the trouble to have them shipped
from, I think he said Minnesota, II
the proper authorities requested
same.
Closed Season Needed.
1t is the opinion of this column
that a closed season for small mouth
bass in the Potomac of three years
should be asked for. A closed season
of three years would protect the bass
during the spawning season and al
the expiration of that time the angler
would be able to take his automo-
bile, or even a street car, and In
about one-half hours time reach real
honest-to- goodness fishing grounds.
The attention of the Potomac Ans--
lers Association is especially called
othis movement along with other
fishing clubs and all anglers We
ought to have within easy reach, ono
of the best natural fishing grounds in
the country well stocked with small
mouth bass, and there Is no better
way to accomplish it than to have
Congress, and perhaps, the Maryland
legislature could do 1t without any
congressional action.
This column would be glad TO hear
from any one who Is interested in
this closed season for small-mouth
Potomac bass. 1t is entirely up to
local anglers whether or not they
want to continue angling for small
mouth bass In the Upper Potomac
River. the Bureau of Fisheries will
back such q movement, Leech so de-
clared. Let's all get busy and find out
just what we can actually do.

In many States a fish and game de-
partment is maintained. and through
their efforts the lakes and rivers are
kept stocked with fish. Clear Lake.
Iowa, is an outstanding example OF
what can be accomplished in restock-
ing-a rundown fishing lake IN a com
paratively short time. This particular
lake has always been known as q
wonderful fishing place, but in late
years fishing has not been so good.
Three years ago a State fish hatch
cry for pike was built at Clear Lake,
and many million tiny pike have been
placed in its waters. Some OF them
are now 3-pound pike, for they grow
at the rate OF a pound a Year. The
lake also has been restecked with
other kinds of fish. Within the last
few weeks two carloads of black bass
have been placed in the lake, having
been rescued from the bayous Of the
Mississippi when the river had gone
back into the banks after the Sprin &
freshets.
And another carload of fish, chan
mel cat from the same source, will be
added soon. In only few years these
fish, which are now from an inch and
a half to inches long, will be good
game for fishermen.

The thirty ninth is a 1So-yard hole.
Both players used a midiron from
the tee and it appeared that the
strain of the struggle was telling
on both of them.
Browns ball came down to the
right Of the green and in not par
ticuiarly pleasant position beyond a
trap.
Steil, taking a full swing, half
toppled his ball. Instead of giving
it loft, he sent it off like a line drive
from the bat of Babe Ruth IT was
apparent that il was going away
over the green, bound for deep rough
amid trees we'll beyond.
If this had actually taken place
Brown would have had a distinct
advantage. But 1t didn't.
Just as Steirs ball reached the
green, with its line of fight about
three feet above the ground, a wom-
an member of the gallery unwit-
tingly walked right in front of 1t.
Both she and Steil were fortunate
that his ball struck the portion of
her anatomy that it did. She was
considerably shocked, but suffered
no serious injury. AS for the ball, it
dropped dead on the edge of the
green.
Steil holed out a s, while Brown
