ATLANTA, Oct. 28.-Looking on

his football team still is far ahead

best in their game with Alabama

lucky not to have dropped one
earlier.

and found we've lost nine of our
first % men who were on the varsity
squad at the close of spring practice.
The team has been playing much
better than it should have under
the circumstances, and when you
do that you're lucky to stay up there.
We've met teams every Saturday
with much more than we had-four
hard ones in row. and two more to
go-Auburn this Saturday and then

For some time sports anglers have
complained OF destructive CONNER
cial fishing practices in Maryland
waters There still is wasteful fish
ing and poor marketing. At last,
however. constructive plans for a
controlled and equitable take by the
commercial fisheries have matured
and will go into operation this year.
These plans were suggested by
commercial fishermen, perfected
with the aid Of officers Of the Mid
die Atlantic Fisheries of the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service
and made law by the last Legisla-
ture
To some it may appear as hardly
worth attention, but the regulation
requiring a license for all nets to
be fished in 1912 to be taken out
before December l will accomplish
many improvements in fishing prac-
tices.
Nets to Be Decreased.
Many pound operators are fishing
six nets where three or four would
do. They will be able to fish the
smaller number easier and with due
regard to the culling of undersized
fish. Gill-netters will take fewer
but larger fish throughout the sea-
son for they will not be harried by
itinerant fishermen appearing only
when the schools are large
Most important. the 500-odd
pounds and the hundreds Of gill nets
will decrease in number year after
year Cthe plan is to issue no new
licenses once they have been relin-
quished> until the right number to
crop the schools adequately is
reached.
Commercial fishermen in Mary
land will get a better return for
their take. which will be controlled
and therefore better in size and
quality. The number and size of
the fish gradually will be increased
so that sports anglers will enjoy
greater sport. They, too, can help
by keeping their catches within the
limits sportsman would take.
Add to this new law the control

pointed Marine Fisheries Commis-

"At that time. Pittsburgh had Just

quite what to expect from Buff Do

Obviously. in the light of the late
scare the Rams threw into the Red
skins two days ago, Flaherty'S
toughest Job this week-and for the
rest of the seasons to make his
players realize that they never must
"let down" no matter how far they
get ahead. Twice now, their lapses
have almost proven fatal as result
of treating l7-point leads like six
touchdown margins.
Indeed, If there were not so much
risk involved, it might be we'll for
the Redskins to give their opponents
the lead at the start of every game.
for the 194l Tribe seems TO play
twice as well when it is behind, or
struggling to break tie, as 1t does
when it is ahead. Undoubtedly their
best all-around performance in five
games to date was that against
Brooklyn, when they had TO fight
furiously before getting 80 lead
in the third quarter and then work
just as hard defending 1t. Next to
that game, the one in which the
Redskins looked best was a week ago
Sunday at Philadelphia when they
had 10 overcome a l4-0 lead assem-

It's all mental" Flaherty says,
attempting TO explain why the Skins

take it easy-'Just for a few plays
But after few plays the opposi-
ton has scored and it's a different

Its just like pitcher who has

get in the groove again. It's a heap
