Fred Moncewicz, Rex Beach and
Joe Fitzgerald will be the new faces
in the B. C. lineup. These boys are
all lacking experience, although
Coach Daley feels that his trio of
subs will give the Blue and Gray Of
the South enough trouble during the
course of the fray.
GeOrgetown's mighty squad
rolled into town yesterday morn
ing. Led by band of 100 pieces
and over 200 students, the
Georgetown contingent paraded
through the main streets of the
Hub as far as the Hotel West
minister, where the grid squad
hoped into their machines and I
were taken to the LOngwOOd 4
Towers. where they will stay
while in Boston.
Coach Lou Little took his boys
to Braves field in the afternoon
for a workout. The Blue and Gray
machine looked great while 1t
rushed through a snappy signal and
limbering-up workout.
Boston fans are anxious to get
q peep at the highly touted George

the grid feats of Bobby Nork, now
the third highest scorer in the
country. and want to see for them
selves just how good he is.
Captain Claude Grigsby. CEN

for the all-American team by
most sport writers who have
seen him in action this fall,
will be closely watched by some
$4,000 fans who are expected
at the National League Ball
Park this afternoon.
Coach Leo Daley, although he
does not see much chance Of his
team winning. has a feeling that
something is apt to happen. Boston
Colleges eleven may find itself for
this game and then there is the
possibility of Georgetown being
over-rated. With a good deal of
luck. Boston College might exc
out a win from the Southerners.

Lower Potomac creeks, where the,
tide GIBBS and flows twice in every
"a hours, have been mecca for
both casters and bait fishermen
during the fall and some of the
best strings Of big-mouthed game
sters ever registered in the lower
waters have been taken. This is
especially true of both Aqua Creek
and Gunston Cove where catches
Of heavyweight fish have been far
above normal. The remainder of
the season. which stops with ice
formation, looks very bright and
when the high winds abate anglers
can look for continued activity.
Saltwater fishing is almost
thing of the past, but dyed.in-the-
wool anglers declare that rock fish
ing is sure to reach a flourishing
peak before the final curtain falls.
OF course, We all hold out for the
best. hoping that conditions will
change in favor of the striper, but
we are very much inclined to be-
lieve that the highest point has
been attained, and that the pastime
has seen its finis.
Charles Cohen. so far as we can
trace the present seasons records,
has the edge over the rockfish
followers. His largest striper. which
was taken some two weeks back
on the Eastern Shore. near Bloody
Point Light. weighed a trifle strong
of 1S pounds. The big fish follower
has since visited Maryland's shores,
but either conditions were wrong
or else the monsters had bid adieu.

Some time before a new golf sea-

Those behind the new association

The District title, as well as selecting
players to represent this city in the

A tentative schedule has been
arranged and IL calls for tOurna-

the public courses will meet in a
S6-hole medal play tournament to

The Big Syndicators. some Is

There will be prizes for the low

No collections are now made except
under permit from proper authori-
ties and for legitimate scientific
purposes.
Another practice, equally repre-

Gently 1t has been brought to the
attention of the authorities of Texas
that this practice is still followed
in some localities I'm that State, and
steps have been taken to put an
end to 1t. Women's clubs are CO.
operating with the State game war
dens to set free all such captive
wild birds wherever found.
Almost everywhere the children
have been educated to love the wild
birds and to protect and care for
them. Where this sentiment has
been incnlcated In the children, bird
houses and feeding stations will be
found. and old and young alike are
bird lovers and students of bird
life. Birds are far more interesting
and beautiful in their wild free

Trainers appeared on top by a
scant 7.to-O margin, but it was
Charlie May who provided the
thrills.
That stonewall Tech line was
jlst a bed of roses for May. He
tore 1t to shreds, crushed it as one
would smash an egg. Only twice
did he fail to gain and that was
due to bad passes from the center.
Once he carried the pigskin five
times for a total yardage OF 81
yards and that's pretty good
against Tech, especially when no
other runner has even approached
this feat.

His type of player happens along

Yesterday, May did everything,
and he didn't have such a strong

were such players as Denniberg,

Incidentally, Tech scored it's

That was in the first period when

Mays modesty may be blamed for
the check. After May had darted
