have tended to push the japanese
statesman's activities into the back
ground.
German troops were reported
massing along the Jugoslav FROM
tier ready to move as soon as Ber-
lin gives the word.
Jugoslavia was busy with civilian
precautions. Red Cross nurses were
being called up, some government
archives were being removed from
BELGRADE to safer interior points,
and the population was warned to
stay in its homes and cities so as
not to clog the roads with refugees
There was nothing in the talk
of Nazi commentators at Berlin to
indicate that a peaceful solution
of the German-Jugoslav embroil-
ment would be found. In Berlin it
was claimed that mistreatment OF
the German minority was increaS-
ing, that German leaders had been
arrested and chat demonstrations
in the Jugoslav provinces were
growing worse.
GERMANS EVACUATED
The return to Berlin of the Ger
man minister, Viktor Won Heeren
was cited as indicative of the gray
ity of the situation. Most German
nationals had been evacuated from
the country.
Nest Italians also have been with
drawn from Jugoslavia.
London understood that Gen
Siegmund von List, commander OF
Germany's Balkan army, had gone
to Berlin for instructions in view
of the JugoSlav crisis.
The British also believed that
Germany was bringing fresh pres
sure on the French, hoping to OBJ
tain use of the French fleet to
make up for the losses suffered BY
the Italian fleet.
The BSitiSh suspected that the
Germans were attempting to utilize
the Franco-British differences over
blockade and convoy matters to
provide an excuse for obtaining the
French Warships.
The British reported that heavy
raid was carried out by the Royal
air force against Bremen, Emden
and Rotterdam Monday night in
which a new and unusually devas-
tating type of high explosive bomt
was employed. The Germans saio

Player MOT in Game
Is Georgians Hope
Against Columbia
Has Booted IS Points
This Year, But Hasn't
Officially Performed
BY the Associated Press.

ATHENS, Ga, Oct. 15.-Al-
though Leo Costa hasn't played
an official second of college football,
he has scored plenty of points and
is one of Georgia's chief hopes for
victory Saturday over Columbia in
New York. But if he wins the
game, he won't see it done. He'll
be picking up an imaginary half
dollar.
Costa, a junior, is a place-kicking
specialist. His job is booting extra
points after touchdoWns, and count
ing his senior year in high school he
has kicked 54 out of ga. Because
time is suspended during try-for-
point, he is credited with no action
in competition.
Gets Tie With Mississippi.
Costa this year has kicked IS
extra points. Two of them gave
Georgia a l4-14 tie with Mississippi
last week. His expert toe work as a
sophomore gained Georgia TT
tie with Kentucky, beat Auburn, a.
13, and Georgia Tech, 21-19.
The half dollars are CoSta's So
luton to keeping his head down.
He never has seen one OF his kicks
go over the cross-bar. Instead, he
leans over and picks up the imagi-
nary coin. Wingback Lamar Davis,
who holds the ball, tells him if his
kick was good. once Costa looked
up in practice and Line Coach j. B.
Whitworth made him run the track
for three hours.
Teams Rated on Par.
Georgia, undefeated but tied, Is
expected to go into Saturdays game
evenly matched with Columbia.
The Bulldogs think they can offset
Lou Little's star halfback Paul
Governali, with Firebal frankie
Sinkwich, Georgia's All-America
candidate. The forewalls should be
equal. Georgia counting on aggres-
siveness and stamina to offset the
traditional skill of Little-coached
lines.
If it comes to a showdown on
touchdowns. Columbia has an extra
point ace, too. Dick Ferrarini of
Somerville. Mass. And that may
get Costa into the first college game
of his life. Scouts say he can't miss
on field goal if Georgia gets the
ball to Columbia's Is. 1t might be
the payoff.

SmoImouth Bass Running Above Pounds
Stripers Going for TroIIed Lures
W5M BILL ACKERMAlN

The goldfish when turned loose
does revert to type and assumes the
natural dark green hue of the small
Oriental carp. 1t does not, however,
become the menace that many of
the European species have become
in our Eastern streams, for under
the most advantageous conditions it
seldom attains a size of more than
10 inches.
In Northern waters released gold
fishes seldom survive the winter. In
this locality (AnacoStia River above
Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge they
have fourished to some extent, pro-
vlding considerable fun for real
young fishermen without crowding
out other species.
Maine authorities do not believe
their use or release harmful. Other
States do. We are inclined to agree
with the latter. In fact. we believe
the introduction of any species is
not to be undertaken except under
rigid control. When it isn't possible
to get bait fishes native to the
streams being fished, mechanical
lures should be used.
Light Tackle Defended.
There is little hope that all anglers
eventually will use light tackle. for
there are as many different views on
the subject now as there are sizes
of tackle.
Just this summer there was a story
about fish being given a chance by
anglers competent enough never to
allow any fish to break the line and
at the same time decrying the use
OF 24-cotton thread by those who
might let the fish break off with
yards of line hanging from its jaws
eventually to die.
The author, probably airing pis-
catorial ideas of his own, never
would believe that a fish can digest
a fish hook deeply imbedded in the
stomach tissues in a week or two
and that fish have been caught with
as many as dozen hooks and sew
eral feet of steel leader draped from
their jaws. Also that long length
of tough line would be no more
than a temporary tether. There is
no doubt about the fallacy of re-
leased fish not living, for it has been
dlsproved time and again. They are
able to exist under seemingly i'm
possible handicaps. So far as we
are concerned. light tackle is our
choice for tyro and finished angler
alike In the long run it will kill
