lust before the final whistle. Grants
vile held the upper hand throughout
most Of the game. Schaefer was the

Sportsmen Discuss Check Dams, Etc.
The Grantsville branch Of the Gar
rett County Sportsmens Association
has decided to investigate possibilities
of establishing check dams in Shade
Run, which crosses under the National
Highway about a mile west Of here,
and the Purseley Run, which can be
crossed several miles further west on
the same highway, to invite more fish
to remain in this locality. A number
of Grantsville sportsmen have planned
to investigate the situation this week
The existing Maryland trespass law
was discussed, and it was felt that a
change to include the requirement of
the West Virginia law, to the effect
that it is unlawful to hunt or fish on
land of another without written per-
mission, may prove more effective here
in eliminating the feeling between
farmers and sportsmen. The local unit
will meet again on Tuesday, April g..
