Coach Frank Leahy today de-
clared that the Army game on

Naturally" stated the Notre
Dame mentor, 1--WE are worried
very much so in fact, about the
powerful Army team. However,
the Army game is the sixth on
the schedule. Here at Notre
Dame the schedule is a tough
one and we must take our op-
ponents one at a time. The game
that is uppermost in our minds
right now is the opener on Sept.

The End Of Virginia

ROSCOMMON, April 5-The
too-brief life of Virginia, abb
no fawn at the Michigan conser-
vation departments training
school at Higgins lake, has ended
tragically.
Virginia's freedom ended with
the opening of the deer season
when, as safety precaution, she
was placed in a fenced corral.
Her first lunge toward freedom
against the wire fence broke her
neck.
The fawn was brought to the
school last spring from the up
per peninsula where it had been
found in an almost-starved con-
dition and had become extreme
ly tame and the pet of hundreds
of visitors.

Where To Find EN-

Rainbow trout in st tr m S
usually will be found in fast
water, brook trout in deep pools
and along margins where the
water is deep and quiet, and
brown trout may be found in
these and other places.
The browns are particularly
fond of going to the shadows,
where they forage for minnows
and insects which fall from the
banks. Many of the best brown
trout have been caught in water
too shallow to cover the dorsal
fin.
This information is offered
by some of the expert fishermen
of Local IL.

With the going out of ice in
lakes and streams each year
thousands of gizzard shad die
and are seen along the shores,
victims of temperature changes

shad is one of the most abun-

and is highly beneficial since
it is eaten by other fish and does
not compete with other species

A manager, who will super
wise the softball league, will
be appointed at the next reg
ular Local IL membership meet
ing, which will be held Friday,
April IL, at 8 p. m. in Parlor

Because of the fact that many
softball players have returned
from service, it is thought that
at least ten or twelve teams
will be entered in the mems
league, and eight teams in the
women's division. Each team
last season contained eight teams
and a round robin tournament
was held at the end of the reg
ular season.
The Spicer Unit team won the
Local II title last season by de-
feating a stubborn American
