Formidable Ring Ral Haa Ramage and Bde
ROD AND STREAM
BY PERRY MILLER

DR. AND MRS. LEWIS A. CORNET
- of 1927 North Capitol street and
Mr.. and Mrs. John Befibaugh of
1909 Lawrence street northeast report a
catch of 260 fish recently of Poplar
Island on the Eastern Shore. These
anglers motored down to Shady Side
and went across the Bay with Capt.
Ralph Lee. They anchored their boat
about half way between Bloody Point
Light and the island and started churi-
ing Their catch consisted of blues, the
largest weighing 5l4 pounds; trout. the
largest 2la pounds. and small sea bass.
This is a remarkable catch and shows
conclusively that october Is the real
fishing month.
Another good catch was at Broomes
when Roy Misewager, Sam Cogins, Roy
Magee and Robert E. Casey with Capt.
Walter F. Elliott as their guide land
ed 80 yellow-fin trout weighing from
q. to pounds, 68 blues, all small size,
and large perch and spot. Bob Casey
informs us that he never before had
such fishing He said that the blues
were not on the bottom. but were half
way up, and were caught two at q
time.
M c. Keister informs us that he and
some friends fishing off North Beach
on what is known as Holland Point,
caught Is of the biggest trout and blues
they ever saw. These anglers used cut
spot as bait for the blues and soft
crabs for the trout.
TAPr. CHARLIE LEACH at Colonial
~ Beach informs us that fishing Is
holding its own down his way and
that plenty OF trout and blues are be-
ing landed, all of good size. He said
he had to hire another boat to take
care of the anglers last week end.
A local angler who does not wish his
name used, informs us that the best
method to use to land the big blues is
to bait your hooks and not put on a
sinker. This method, of course, is only
when the captain Of the boat is chum-
ing. He said he went across the bay
last Thursday and that his party land
ed 80 blues running from 2l2 to AZ
pounds OF the 80 fish caught he said,
he thought he must have landed at
least so of them. The rest of his party
fished on the bottom with sinker. He
also said the stronger the tide the
larger will be the fish caught, using
the above method Just put your line
in the water with baited hooks, no sink
er and let it drift away with the tide.
Try it and let us know your results.

the finest in the history of the game
and until some six years ago Chicago

Stage contributed as much to the
game as any man ever connected with
it in any capacity. He was the origi-
nator of the shift which Notre Dame
developed to such high degree Of ef-
ficiency. His Tanker formation was a
great ground gamer in Big Ten COM
petition and his new whirlwind shift,
used for the first time this year, may
win popularity
A MONG the outstanding stars
"A coached and developed by Stage
were the late Walter Eckersall,
Wallie Stef1en, John Schommer, Paul

first Western player ever named on the

the Big Ten, and his work along with

Nelson Metcalfe. who has been named

ever, Metcalfe may elect to bring a new
system of foot ball play to the Midway

retirement is not effective until next
June it Is unlikely any choice Of foot
ball coach for 1893 will be made until
well into the Winter months. Stagg
may be given the title of advisory coach
to his successor since it will be almost
impossible to keep the old man away
