FISHING
According to Izaak Walton


Reports Of the past week show
undeniably that the bay season is
on in full swing and for the next
8 or 10 weeks it will just be a
question as to where you care to
go for your sport.
Don't take that statement too
literally, because there is always
the days here and there that go
i, up on the fishing calendar as a
: gooSe-egg, and will continue to do
; so just as long as we have Old
: man Weather to reckon with.
, What it really does mean is
, that the fish are in our waters,
in numbers that leaves nothing to
the imagination if you are fishing
at the right time and with the
. right bait. The odds are greatly
in favor of the angler to come
home with more than his share
of the bacon.
Boats Are Scarce
Boats over the weekend are al
most unobtainable, unless you
have chartered them ahead. This
is advisable at any time but is
almost compulsory when the run
is on. Even through the week it
is sometimes hard to get just what
you want without that call ahead.
Reports from Capt. Bob Lee at
Shadyside, Md, look more like
figures from a Treasury statement
than anything else. Boats re-
turning with small catches are
non-existent. For the party that
wants to fish but an hour or two,
1t is easy to run to Niggerhead or
to the edge of the deep water in
the steamboat lane. The catch
will consist of really big hard.
heads with a sprinkling Of small
Weaks.
If you have more time to put
in on your trip then it will be to
Holland Point, Poplar Island,
Bloody Point, or maybe back to
this side again at Thomas Point.
Variety in Catches
The catches show some hard
heads, many weakfish, some blues
and rock. Should tH& day be
spent trolling backSG gioody Point
or at Thomas's, the result is en-
tirely different. Catches of twenty
to a hundred rock are the run
and while the average size is
small, about tWo pounds, there are
many l2Tger :AnAs mixed in with
them. Top size seems to be about
six pounds.
Try your closely points from
now on. True that they never
have blues as large as the Middle
grounds produce, or the Virginia
shore either, but still some of the
finest sport fishing to be found
anywhere.

CHAMPION IS AWARDED TEN
 ROUND FIGHT
One knockdown Scored, in Sixth Round Negro Down for Count of 8 TITLE HOLDER IS
 WORRIED AT START
Matthews Enters Ring Two Pounds Over Legal
 Weight Limit

SEATTLE, Oct. 22.-Bsfore an overflow crowd, Freddie Steele, oi Tacoma, middleweight charlp on. won a decision. at the end of ten rounds, over Allen Matthews, the Dempsey negro fighter of St. Louis in a non-title match last night.
 The fight was fast one from start to finish and sports writers at the ringside disagree regarding the decision, some being of the op- inion it should have been a draw.
 The Associated Press, however, claims that after the com a world champion scored the only knockdown i'll the fight, a right to the jaw that sent the negro down for the count of eight, he led the rest of the way.
 At the start Matthews had Steele worried a bit but after the knock down, Matthews seemed worried although he never let up.
 Steele entered the ring weighing 1882 pounds and Matthews weigh ed 162, two pounds over the middle weight limit.

his first year as head coach he guided the Mustangs through 12- game schedule undefeated, and saw his team invited to the Rose Bowl where S.M.U. bowed to Stanford, TO.
 Morrison, the original ringmaster of the Mustangs aerial circus, left Bell some mighty fine talent when he departed for Vanderbilt, and among the clever ball passers was numbered his own son, Jack. Jack Morrison is doing a pretty good job of carrying on the work started by his famous dad and is rated one of the most clever ball-handlers on the Mustang squad.
 The presence of Morrison's son in the Mustang lineup calls to mind that the sons of other outstanding coaches are making their marks on the gridiron today.

 Senator's Address
Attempt Made to Involve Roosevelt s Son Tn
 Broadcast Trouble

NEW YORK, Oct 22.-The name of James Roosevelt and the sale of an insurance contract to the Col umbsa Broadcasting system was today injected into the debate over Columbia's curtailment of United States Senator Arthur H. Vanden- berg's campaign speech last Satur- day night in Chicago.
 Edward Nlauber, Executive Vice. President of the radio chain, said Young Roosevelt participated" in negotiations for group insurance plan for the Columbia employees in August, 1884. but this had noth- ing to do with the decision to cut Vandenberg's address and he re- peated the previous announcement that the action was in line with the ruling against broadcasting re- corded programs.
 Senator Vandenberg last Saturday night attempted to have remarks of President Roosevelt, on phonograph records, placed on the air, then Vandenberg was to make reply. He was cut off when the plan was re- vealed

WHICH HURT MOST?

But if the effect of these two examples should be to persuade any considerable number to refrain from voting for either Republican or Democratic Presidential candi- dates, which would suffer most?
 Was not Governor Landon de- pending upon many of the conser- vative and anti Roosevelt voters to give him victory? If they merely do not vote, will the Kansan have enough votes from elsewhere to overcome Roosevelt?
 To many it appeared unlikely that more than a few citizens who normally vote would stay away from the polls at any urging. but that the bulk would go right on voting their likes, dislikes, pre- judices and convictions, reasonably assured that in any event the end is not yet.

TWO STATES

Strange Situations Develop in Both Virginia and
 Maryland
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-In the two States of Virginia and Mary land situa tions nave developed which cause almost endless soecu- lation, and the result locally or nationally is unlikely to be fully evident for weeks.
 The Baltimore Sun in Maryland announced in an editorial widely printed in other papers that it could not support President Roose- welt and was reserving decision on whether it might support Landon. The Sun, really two papers, morn ing and evening, has been critical of New Deal methods almost from the beginning although at times indorsing New Deal purposes.
 In Virginia group of Jefferson Democrats" is urging Democrats to vote for Governor Landon unless traditional ties or other personal reasons" make that impossible. In such event, the voters are urged to refrain from voting rather than to vote for President Roosevelt. The "Jeffersonians" are taking no part in the Congressional races as an organization. Senator Byrd. often critical of the New Deal, urges readers of his newspapers to sup port Roosevelt.)

Seeded Draw Adopted by Managers at Last
 Night $ Meeting

Wednesday, October 28, was de- clared the deadline for team man. agers Of City League basketball squads to pare their turnouts down to ten players, at the managers meeting last night at the Juneau High School
 All team lists must be turned in to the league president, John Fow7 Ter, at a meeting set for that even- ing, it was decided. All players who are cut will then have un- til one week before the start of the ie@gue play to sign up with another squad whose roster is not filled. Final lists of team lineups will be tuned in a week before the open ing Of play, and after that no play CT switches may be made without tie vote of the managers.
 At last evenings meeting a dis cussion was held on the rule con- corning players now attending high school, that there may be no conflict regarding the eligibility of league players. The rule is that ID high school student may play in the City League, or for any other non-scholastic team, who is not over the age limit for high school elegi- bility, that is, more than twenty years old.
 Proxy Fowler announced that all applicants for refree will be given their tryouts during the several practice scrimmages scheduled be- tween now and the start of league play. Because the Tallapoosa is sometimes called out on duty at times when the Sailor team is scheduled to play game, it was decided that such games as the Tally team may ~o miss will be made up later in the season, on off dates.
 A seeded draw was adopted for as the means for deciding opposing teams for the opening games of the league schedule. Several other matters, among them, the broad casting of games, were discussed and tabled until the next meeting on October 28.

SPORT SLANTS

The famous Mustang band of Southern Methodist University is, perhaps. the most unique college band of tine entire nation. Their claim to fame is built around the fact that they feature jazz music of their own arrangement rather than the staid marches of most college squads. When they play, the scream of the trumpets and the cry of the clarinets cause the fans in the stands to pat their feet and whistle the tune.
 In 1883, the Mustang band was taken to San Francisco for the first Mustang St. Mary's game. The band took the San Francisco fans by storm. Between halves the stands rose to man and gave the Texas the finest tribute possi-

ble. In 1884, the band was taken to New York with the team and metropolitan fans still talk about the tunes played by these boys. During the game they were invited by the president of the Columbia Broadcasting system to play 9 pro- gram on the network. As a result of the New York trip that year, the band was given a vaudeville contract and covered the entire Middle West and East on the tour Bell 4 Praying Colonel

 The Mustangs head coach, Matty Bell, played his football at Centre College in 1916. 1917, 1918 and 1919, when the famous Praying Colonels wpre the toast of the football world. Bell played quarterback, guard and end during his college career, but it was at end he played his last two and best years.
 Immediately following his grad uation in the spring of 1920, Bell became head coach at Haskell h. stitute. He remained there for two years and then served as coach at Carroll College in Wisconsin. Tn the fall of 1923 he took the post at Texas Christian University where he remained for six seasons He was largely responsible for starting Texas Christian up in the football world, and during the last three years he had a team that was a real contender for the conference championship.
 In 1929, Bell was called to Texas A. and M to replace Dana x. Bible, who had departed for Nebraska. He served as head coach of the Texas Aggies for five years, 1929-1933.

Precedent Found For
 School Boards Vote
Little Chance of OrOnOke School District Upsetting
 Decision of Commissioners

school committee contains 0 phrase which reads: "rown school commit tees form part of the agencies of the state for the due performance of the obligatoin which it has al- ways assumed, of providing for the proper education of the young. In exercising itS powers, which are largely discretionary, such Q com mittee is not the agent of the town but of the law, and therefore is not subject to the control of the town with regard to the reopen ing Q school which tho committed has seen fit to close"
 All of which seems to point to the fact that the board of educa- ton, acting as an agent of the law and not of any particular town, is usually backed by the courts in con- nection with any decisions made by it's members.
 V Fire Trap
 Here in the city, it is generally conceded that the Park Road resi- dents, who protested the action of the local school board, had very lit- tle chance of altering the original plan of the board; for the building was considered Q fire trap. Tn re- lation to the Oronoke school, how. ever, there had been some rumors about the residents taking action in some state court. During the past week the supreme court of errors handed down c decision which fav- ored the City of Hartford over Q group of persons headed by Mi- chael Conner, head of the staet de- partment of motor vehicles, in . case which was somewhat similar to the Waterbury situation.
 In view of the fact that the board of education has e wide range in exercising its powers to close or re- open schools 1t Is apparent that the Oronoke residents have very little chance of doing anything about the school boards action in the courts, There is one item, however, which must not be overlooked. In quot ing from the Huntington case of 1909, 1t should be noticed that the board is equally able to close or to reopen schools.
