off Tall Timbers and Piney Point. He
said that William Owen of Palmers, Nd,
fishing of River Springs last Tuesday
landed SO big trout and that ON the
same day George Choporis, also of River
Springs, fishing in Herring Greek, made
catch of 81 trout, the largest weigh
ing and 7 pounds. He also said that
large school of sharks were seen in
Bretons Bay this week and that the
old fishermen down his way say this
fact is responsible for the lack of many
blues being caught. The sharks are
reported to be good big ones, measuring
from to 10 feet in length.
THOMAS H. BOND of Leonardtown
l. tells a good story. He was fishing
in the Patuxent River about /
mile above Solomons Island and landed
a big channel crab. He said the crab
acted Queerly and then commenced to
Squeal or cry, He got scared and
placing a landing net over 1t, returned
it to the water. Bond swears by his
story and wants to know If any one
else ever had similar experience.
Capt. Noah Hazard reports a bad
last Sunday for his outing, weather
conditions, wind and rough water pre-
venting his party landing many fish
This Sunday he will run another big
fishing excursion to SharpS Island and
Plum Point He will have 81 big 11eeS
Of motor boats ready to leave the pier
at Chesapeake Beach just as soon as
the train arrives. The train will leave
the District line at 9 am. Big trout
and blues are being caught in the bay
when weather conditions are right.
Good catches of trout, blues and rock
fish are also being made in the Potomac
around Rock Point and off Morgan
town, with trolling being especially good
at the later place. Capt. Charles Leach
of Colonial Beach reports unusually
good luck trolling of Morgantown. He
says he will meet fishing parties at
Morgantown at any time. Just drop
him a line and let him know when you
want him to meet you.
The reports this week indicate that
the best fishing of the year is at hand,
with trolling coming into it's own. This
is the time of the year when the big
schools of rock, trout and blues gather,
and may be seen breaking water cover
ing many acres. The trout and bluea
landed in the bay are of unusual size.

~ IRECT information from the
University Of Southern
California foot ball fields
reports that Howard Jones
is experimenting with a new tandem
shift this season.
If the experiment develops accord
ing to the Trojan leaders expecta-
lions it will be one of the most
revolutionary and important changes
in shifting the game has known in
recent years.
Jones has for years been leader
in the matter of full-team shift
and from it his Trojans may move
into any one of eight or nine fornaa-
tions. He usually splits his ends,
and each formation varies the spac-
ing of the linemen, thereby giving
him more holes through which to
strike than would be offered by q
tight line.
The Southern California ends, one
or both, frequently are left i'm the
backf1eld after the shift, with the
halfbacks playing up the line. This
shifting of ends makes it extremely
difficult for opponents. Regular re-
ceivers and tackles frequently become
eligible on the moment. One OF
Jones' formation bears resemblance
to Notre Danes box and another is
not unlike Warmers double wing
back set-up. But their similarity Is
only in appearance.
The Trojans' most common for
nations find the strength thrown to
the right in an unbalanced line,
with the right halfback playing as
a wing back outside the end or be-
tween the end and tackle. The left
half usually is close to the center,
either space or two to the left
or the right, and yard back. The
quarter nearly always Is the back
man with the fullback stationed to
his right and a yard in front.
Cut backs to the right, that hit
inside tackle and guard and right
over center, with spinners to the
weak side have proven to be Jones
most consistent running plays. These
everchanging formations make it
possible for the Trojans to get a
maximum of interference ahead of
the ball carrier AS the quarter
nearly always is the back man it is
necessary for Jones to have triple
threat man in that position So
at the moment Gaius Shaver is
favored for the position since he is

Speed, Deception.

BY the Associated Press
~ URBAN, N. O., September 26.--
Duke University foot ball
squad has shifted from fancy
work to old-fashionsd hem
stitching in an effort to sew up q place
of prominence in the Southern Con-
ference.
The change in coaching regimes that
sent Jimmy Dehart to Washington and
Lee and brought Wallace Wade here
from Alabama worked q pronounced
difference in training methods.
Wade has acquired a reputation for
winning games on straight power foot
ball, but has no objections 10 a little
open work now and then His backs
run, for the most part from a semi
punt, tandem formation with straight
plunges varied by an occasional spinner
and an unexpected long pass.
Forward Wall okay.
Because his team is lighter than most
of his squads at Alabama, it may have
to use more speed and deception.
Wade is satisfied with his line, which
averages 1875 pounds. Hyatt, end: Wer-
ner and Carpenter, guards; Adkins,
experienced.
Capt. Brewer at fullback is the big
gun of the backheld. Brownlee and
Mason are the halfbacks, with Mullen,

V you can always get laugh out
" Of any golf tournament, even
the grimmest sort of joust, where
everything depends on a putt
or two, and the issue may hinge on
the kick of pitched ball. The Mary
land open, won handily by Ralph
Beach, the Washington Golf and
Country Club ex-caddie, now pro at
the Baltimore Suburban Club, furnished
a couple Of good laughs while the
tourney was being played at Congress
sional. Chief among them was the
efforts Of Bill Scott, rotund profess
sional at the Baltimore Country Club
TO keep his golf ball In the cup after
he had put it there.
Scott has reputation as a putter.
He has holed as many long ones as any
living man, but yesterday, like most
of the other entrants, he was afflicted
with putter trouble. The ball simply
would not stay in the hole On green
after green Bill saw his pill hit the
edge of the cup and then, as is the
common practice of the balloon" ball,
jump out. Bill had half dozen three
putt greens behind him when he reached
the thirteenth, and on that green ne
finally holed 10 footer which did not
pop out. He rushed over to the hole
and quickly dropped his hat over IT,
remarking, Now, you little scoundrei'
stay in there"
Fred Mcleod wanted to do the same
thing many, many times as ne saw
his chance to win the tourney snp

T HE bost reports to reach us this
week come from Solomons
Island, Broomes Island and
in the lower Potomac around
Piney Point, Tall Timbers and of
Blackstone Island for salt water fish
ing, and the Potomac River above
Washington is reported to be alive with
small-mouth blask bass. But, just when
conditions were right, along came an
other heavy rain to change things. At
Great Falls the river is reported cloudy,
and at Harpers Ferry the Potomac is
very cloudy and the Shenandoah
muddy, with prospects none too bright.
In another "a hours the river around
Washington may possibly become too
muddy even for the most ardent
anglers.
Capt. George Bowen in his report
from SoIomons Island states that the
Patuxent River is loaded with big trout
and Norfolk spot, and that the bay
between Cedar Point and Cove Point
seems to be alive with blues. Capt.
Bowen predicted this state of affairs
in his report last week. He informs
returned from a trip IN the bay of
Cedar Point and reported that blues
were to be seen in all directions. Some
of the boats, he says. are returning
with catches of 100 trout and more
and others with anywhere from 80 to
60 trout.
4 MOTHER good report comes from
IA A. H. G.. Mears at Wachapreague,
Va. In his telegram he states:
Weather clear during the week, cham
mel bass biting fine: one boat eight
consecutive days landed %. another 81.
Nearly all boats getting some. Total
channel bass to date 1856. One to three
bushel croakers or hardheads, founders,
sea BASS, per boat, daily. Croakers and
founders unusually large, sea bass up to
pounds Few blues and trout, but
big run of trout due to arrive any day."

ports that still fishing in the lower

being made off Blackistones Island and

Tiger Gridders

PRINCETON, N. j., September rs
L &C. p. Alive members of the
Princeton Varsity squad who
slipped stein or so of Trenton beer
last Saturday night. in violation OF
strict training orders, have been In
structed to turn in their uniforms.
When asked whether or not they
had broken training they admitted
that such was the case, and Coach
Wittmer acted promptly.
There was no publicity, the coaches
being eager to pass over an unpleas-
ant incident as rapidly and quietly
as possible. The five were simply
told that for this season, at least,
they were through with foot ball.
Next Fall it is possible that the in
dividual cases may be reviewed.
Because of the general desire Of
Coach Wittmer and his staff to dis
miss the matter without further ado,
the names of the i've will not be
disclosed.
