NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. B.
Rookie footballers Of the South
eastern Conference wound up their
debutant year in a blaze OF glory.
Although the conference boasted
not one unbeaten eleven at the
end, the season, measured in inter-
sectional victories, bitter intra con-
ference play and bowl game bids,
was by far the most successful in
years.
Georsia's feet-footed Charley
Trippi, regarded by many as the
conferences top broken field runner,
was easily the outstanding sopho-
more back in the final week but the
Vanderbilt Tennessee game put
four rookie linemen in the lime
light.
They were Center Charley Hoover
and End Johnny North Of Wander
bilt and Tennessees big tackle team

ford. Crawford and Huffman, both
starters in the Volunteers powerful
line, were outstanding in Tennes-
sees 1877 victory over Vandy.

blames the dearth Of waterfowl
upon the cutting of the new chan
mel to Elizabeth City, with the con-
sequent covering of the grass by
the silt. Which may be true, but
we believe another week or SO will
find the birds trading in that area
in greater numbers than ever before.
Few Ducks At Aqua
Whether the heavy load OF silt
carried downriver by the flooding
Potomac this fall is responsible for
q like condition. also remains to be
proved. O'Conor Goolrick says Of
Aqua Creek: There is a very small
crop of grass, and that is partially
covered. Ordinarily we have thou
sands of all species Of ducks, partic-
ularly widgeon, but so far this season
there are none except a few springs"
In the river above Aqua the
flights are just commencing to as
sumo promising proportions. There
is no doubt. with little more
weather, the birds will spread down
that far in a short time, except the
widgeon, which probably have gone
on south with the teal.
