ed, but neither did they have any
exceptional luck. The average catch
per boat was but Is to 80 hardheads,
with few trout here and there. Capt.
H. M. Woodburn reports that these
were good-sized fish though, ranging
in weight from az to 312 pounds

These small hauls are hard to ex-

northeast wind, catches of from so to
70 hardheads were not uncommon,
and when the wind shifted to the
southwest Saturday everything point
ed toward a banner week end. The
weather was perfect. but the fish just
refused to bite. Those that were
caught came from the Patuxent River,
nothing at all being taken in the bay.
Capt. Woodburn says, however, that
within a week or 10 days he expects
an improvement in conditions.
Further up the Patuxent things
were about the same. At Benedict

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct
21.-Virginia Is set for another
festive football Saturday, with the
Generals from Washington and Lee
coming to Scott Stadium to fur
nish the opposition in the Cava-
liers' annual homecoming game.
Graduates of 40 years. standing
and more are expected to be on
hand for the formal opening Of the
new alumni hall, and for meetings
held in connection with plans for
the Alderman Alumni Fund. An
additional influx is expected for
the fall dances Thursday, Friday
and Saturday.
Despite the rather dismal show
Ing against Maryland, Coach
Tebell's football boys will hold the
center of the stage, and are pre-
pairing to hold it well. They are
being pointed for washington and
Lee with the view Of proving that
certain breakdownS while facing
vastly improved Old Line eleven
were only temporary.
The offensive power which
doomed so promising at the start
of the season is still clouded, how
ever, by the inability Of A. B.
Conner to return to the lineup.
The best all-round back on the
squad, Conner received leg in
jury in practice two weeks ago,
and went down in the Maryland
game to be counted out indefi-
nitely.
The backfield load will again
fall on Capt. Harry Martin, with
the veteran Bus Male and the
sophomore Peter Nistad his chief
supports, and John AGREE in the
blocking role. Harry Dinwiddie,
the classy sophomore passer, is
developing into a capable ball
carrier, and may fit in as a
starter.
The line probably will be in
tact from the last three games,
with Steve Davenport and Woody
George, ends: Billy Weeks and
Sanford Haskell, tackles; Ray
Schmidt and Conway Moncure,
guards, and Al Berkeley, center.

bills. He was unable to meet his
monthly payments, and he began to let
this obligation slip. Meanwhile he had
been thinking over his situation.
Monthly payments, taxes, insurance
and fuel expense totaled more than
$50 per month. He could get a nice
apartment, steam heated. with janitor
service and no fuss or worry for $40
per month. Having lost his initial en-
thusiasm for buying a home, Mr..
Hartney wrote the holder of the con-
tract that he didn't see how he could
continue the payments. The mort
