POTOMAC CLEARING
FOR BASS FISHERMEN

AIS not lost that's In danger, and IL
may be that the anglers for large and
small mouth bass will have at least q
few weeks to cast for these gamesters.
From Harpers Ferry our correspondent
reports that the Potomac is clear and
the Shenandoah very cloudy. The
river below Washington is gradually
rounding back to shape and ought to be
in right for the anglers some time this
week.
Not all saltwater anglers return
empty handed. Last week John Merrill,
Harry Boyer and Julius O'Brien, fishing
of Bloody Point, landed % rockflsh. All
the fish were caught trolling, some be-
ing landed when they were feeding and
others being taken from the bottom of
the bay. The largest fish weighed IL
pounds.
For some unknown reason, all the hsh,
seem to be on the eastern shore of the
bay. Numerous parties have tried their
luck at the various places on our shore,
but their luck has been nothing to brag
about. On the other hand, those
anglers visiting fishing grounds on the
eastern shore have always returned
with a good many fish. The fish being
caught on the eastern shore are rock,
trout and blues. One trout reported to
have weighed II pounds was landed on
Tilghmans Island.

straight first downs to place the ball
on the locals 3-yard mark, where Knott

yards for a touchdown. Shrieves passed
over the right side Of the line to West
for the extra point.

advantage in line plunging and car
ried the ball repeatedly through the
Typhoons' defense for lengthy gains,
only to face a stone wall front when
within striking distance, except In the
third period. Abramson and Knott we're
outstanding in carrying the ball.
