NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-North
Carolina State whipped Maryland,
1913. in a major upset last Satur-
day. On the basis of his fine per-
formance in that game, Elmer
Costa. NC State tackle, has been
selected as the Associated Press
lineman of the week.
A 225-pounder from Paterson,
N. j., Costa pounced on a tumble
early in the game to set up States
first touchdown, then led three
goal-line stands that thwarted
Maryland's bid for victory. His
play drew raves from sports writ
ers, as well as for Jim Tatum,
Maryland coach.
Costa should be lineman of the
week for his play against us"
Tatum was quoted as saying.
Costa's own coach, Beattie
Feathers, declared his big tackle
played one of the best games
I've seen on any field. He was
really smashing through there and
breaking up Maryland plays"

center; Jim Weatherall, Okla

North Carolina center, as the
1850 winers to date of the coveted

beaten Stanford. Purdue scouts,
watching Moomaw, had an un-
happy afternoon thinking ahead
to the UCLA-Purdue game this
Saturday.
Bill Wannamaker, Kentucky
guard, won praise for his play
against Villanova. Two other
guards, Bob Ward of Maryland

OUTDOORS

Your scribe had a lesson in fish,
ing for stripers Tuesday afternoon
which he will not forget. AL
though the wind was blowing from
the southeast and conditions ap-
peared unpropitious for fishing
the western shore of Chesapeake
Bay, we went to North Beach and
joined Bob Lusby, sr.
The wind had moderated since
morning and it was not too rough
for our small boat, the Gumdrop.
Probably because of the choppy
water the fish which were feeding
on top were scattered, but we ran
into them at the mouth of the
harbor at the Rod'n Reel at
Chesapeake Beach.
The schools of bait fish were so
thick we picked up five menhaden
on our Lusby lures as we trolled
through them. We did locate and
catch three rockf1sh of about l y
pounds right off the jetty. You
could have cast bass tackle into
them from the jetty and caught
them.
Shallow Water Productive.
We moved up the shore to Hol-
land Point and there we really hit
into the fish. They were not
surfacing and it was all blind
trolling in from 3 to 6 feet of
water-water so shoal that big
boats cannot get into much of it.
At no time were we more than 300
yards from shore. We had no
lead on the lines and with not
more than 100 feet of line out.
Our day ended at 6 pm. with 10
rockfish ranging up to a little
over 6 pounds in the fish box.
The success of the whole trip
was due to Mr.. Lusby's apparently
uncanny knowledge of the holes
and types of bottom over which
the fish were found. The suacess
of this small-boat trolling in
shallow water depends entirely
upon knowing where to find the
fish and it only requires some
investigation and common sense
on the part of the angler.
Undoubtedly, there are many
other productive spots along the
eastern and western shores of the

 First it was Philadelphia, then il was St. Louis.
 Last night it was New York.
 Led by Jackie Robinson and Carlo Furillo, the Dodgers dusted the Giants off, 8-5, for their fourth vic tory in as many meetings with their interborough rivals.
 The victory, Brooklyn's fourth in row, moved the Dodgers into an exact first place tie with the idle Redbirds. Each team has won 52 and lost 20

 STARTING TODAY
(By the Associated Press)

The Pacific Coast League mara thon enters it's 18th week tonight with the Hollywood Stars still well on top via a variation of the Indian rope trick.
 You can't tell by looking what holds 'em up.
 The Twinks are fourth in team batting, 23 points below Oakland. Both Los Angeles and Sacramento, second division clubs, surpass them in this department.
 Four teams have scored more runs and five teams have collected more hits than Hollywood.
 The Stars haven't a pitcher who has won eight games. Last place Sacramento's Max Surkont, by comparison. has 12 victories; George Bamberger of Oakland has Il; San Francisco's Al Lien has 10.
 Hollywood will defend it's five game lead tonight against the San Francisco Seals.
 It will be the first time Holly wood has met San Francisco at home this season.
 San Diego. meanwhile. will try to recuperate from the clubbing re- ceived last week at the hands of Oakland. The Padres play host to last place Sacramento in a bid to regain their status as pennant contender.
 Los Angeles, which has dropped its last six series, figures as solid choice to make it seven straight. The Angels move in on the dan gerous Oakland Acorns. The Seattle Rainiers have won eight straight series, are playing 600 baseball and still they languish in the No. position. Tonight. the Rainiers open against their long time foes, the Portland Beavers. No games were played Monday in the Pacific Coast League.

BATTING RACE IN
 NATIONAL HOT ONE; FOUR PUNCHING UP

NEW YORK, Jure 20-Rl-The National League batting race is turning out to be replica of last years three-man battle among Brooklyn's Jackie Robinson and St. Louis Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter.
 The only difference is that Duke Snider has horned in.
 Through games of Sunday, June 18, only 21 points separated the quartet. Musial, in front practically from the start, still led the pack with .364 but his once huge margin has shrunk to mere dozen points.
 Robinson's 1852 is six-point bulge over Snider for the runncrup spot with Slaughter close fourth via a 343 mark.
 Less than a half dozen points separated Robinson, Musial and Slaughter last year as the trio fin- ished in that order.
 Fifth spot belongs to the surpris- ing Eddie Stanky. The New York Giants scrappy infielder is tied with Chicagos Andy Pafko at 333. Johnny Hopp, a hot hitter early in the campaign, dropped to seventh with .331. He was followed by New York's Whitely Lockman, .329; Phil adelphia's Dick Sisler, 1928; and Cincinnati's Johnny Wyrostek, .322
