Africa, Europe and South America.
The various kinds differ great deal
IN size and ways of life.
The common catfish habit is to
take good care of the young Most
lSh have no nests, but catfish not
only make nests but also watch
over the young. The male catfish
sWlms near shore with the little
ones, and guards them as we'll as

Catfish will stay alive out Of
water for a longer time than most
fish, There is no catfish on this
continent which can be classed as
"air- breathing" but South America
has some which can breathe air
for hours at a time. A mining en-
gineer in the Andes mountains
| reported:
I'VE had to change the course OF
stream to empty pot-hole When
the water was taken from the hole.
l saw number of catfish make their
way out. Helped by the use of their
fins, they climbed a bank and
reached the stream above"
The catfish of which the engineer
spoke are known as "prenadillas.
They are not the only kind Of cat
fish which can live out of water.
Another South American type, the
'Doras,' moves from one pond to
another during the dry season. 1t
has been reported to travel all
night Most fish are silent. but
the Doras has an air bladder which
gives forth small sounds. While
under water, of course, all catfish use
their gills for breathing.
The Mississippi catfish reaches a
weight of 25 pounds. Some of the
catfish taken from Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario have had a length OF
| three or four feet and have weighed
more than $50 pounds.
In China and India. fishermen
often use fishing cat to capture
small catfish. This cat is an expert
at holding on to the slippery game,
and will take the fish to it's master,

many catfish are not bullheads. The
bullhead is special kind of catfish.
There are % main families of cat
fish.
The common bullhead is found
only in North America, but it has

Hoyert 10 Give Kick
To Maryland Attack
Home-DeveIoped Stickmur

John Hoyert. Maryland junior who
has gained all his lacrosse expert
ence since matriculating at College
Park, will be shifted from midfleld
to the close attack to give the Old
Line offense the "kick" that AL
Heagy feels it lacked in beating
Drexel last Thursday.
Hoyert, who lives in Riverdale
just a little over a mile from the
campus and who attended Tech
High in Washington, has a fast,
hard shot and is an adept dodger.
He made three goals against Drexel.
Lloyd Mallonee, soph who
started at cover point against
Drexel, will be sent to Hoyert's old
spot at second defense, with John
Rabai going into the close defense
berth. Mallonee, incidentally, was
shifted into the midfeld at times
against Drexel and scored twice.
Hoyert will join Bob Stockbridge
vet, and Eddie Looper, rookie, in the
Maryland close attack, leaving Soph
Bob Case and Letterman Carroll
RoWny to back them up.
There are no other contemplated
changes in the line-up which began
the Drexel game, but Freshman Bill
Ruppersberger, who shone as a re-
serve center Thursday, will see
a lot of action as an alternate in
the midf1eld. He was the only Old
Liner who could get the ball in the
face-offs against Drexel.
