citation, with the assistance of more

fication Of the men he has chosen
Mr.. Woodward writes: a. investiga-
ton has led us to the inevitable con-
clusion that there are far more good
foot ball players in the croSsroad col
leges than there are In the big uni
versities.
These are the boys who throw the
professional scouts into rhapeodies,
who draw tears from the eyes Of
oig-time college coaches, who have
the interests Of their foot ball teams
at heart.
we realize that We are shattering
all the traditions Of All-America foot
ball by abstaining from going through
the ritual Of picking names out of
the headlines. We also realize there
are some other pretty good boys
around (but) they are disquali-
fed through having played with the
support of too many other good
players.
Each Of our boys has played foot
ball the hard way. What We are
offering here are 20 one-man teams,
boys who are so good that each of
them deserves considerably more than
one-eleventh Of the credit for the
success of his team"

"HIS week will see a general
change in the hunting pic
ture. That long-awaited cold
Il weather has arrived and ducks
are being driven down into the river
country of Maryland along the Patux-
ent and Potomac. They are on the
upper Patuxent now and it is only
q matter of days until they flock
around local waters.
ST. Marys County is a particularly
good location and hunters seem to
realize it. Louis Brandchard, game
warden stationed at Leonardtown, re-
ports that $50 more hunting licenses
have been issued there this season
than last season, and IA blind licenses
have been issued, which is a pretty
fair number, considering all the regu-
1ations and restrictions which bind
the hunter.
The Federal Government
wanted conservation on q large
scale this year and 1t certainly
is getting it.
When the last bird Is shot and
guns slowed away the final tabulation
will show that ducks had their safest
season in Maryland since the first
muzZle- loader was pointed in their
direction. While this department has
heard few out-and-out complaints
against all those restrictions, there
have been goodly number Of minor
grumbles. coupled, of course. with the
expressed hope that next year will
see some of them lifted.
THE sink box and batting restric-
- tions have been accepted in good
humor by duck hunters who, after
all, are sportsmen and willing to give
birds more than half a chance, but
they themselves want a chance at
some Of the better birds, namely, red
heads and canvasbacks. No definite
promises can be wrung from those
ct the Biological Survey who have it
in their power to give US our red
heads and canvasbacks, but when they
see how many ducks return to the
breeding grounds next Spring they
cannot but realize that we have CO.
operated with them in giving these
species wide berth.
