Association did appear to op.

the veto. I
have been assured by Mr..
George Gambell, who is the
head man in the Maryland Rock
Fish Protective Association,
that the main objection his
people had to the bill last year
was that there was no provision
in it that would prevent the
commercial meters from TAX
ing advantage of this bill to sell
the big rock fish. He also as
sured me that the Rock Fish
Protective Association would
not oppose the bill this year so
long as it declares it illegal to
buy or sell big fish.
Inc advantages OF this bill for
all sport fishermen are plain to
see. Many fishermen spend hun
dreds of dollars trying to catch
that one big rock. 1t is shame
that when he finally does catch
him he is then forced to sneak
the fish ashore and smuggle
him home. Whether some folks
will admit it or not, it is a fact
that most of all the big rock
fish caught by hook and line
fishermen are now being kept
anyhow. This bill would only
make it unnecessary for a lot
of nice people having to sneak
around like a country boy in
a melon patch. If you are inter-
ested in this bill, let your legis-

With the Pro-Bowl game last week the
gritty game of football passed away for an
other season. and as it seeks its belated rest,
perhaps its time to re-tell an old football
story that's timely any time of year.
There may now be a b0nifide college
in the state Of New Jersey called Plain
field Teachers. But it wasn't always there
and great though this schools athletic
fame may become, it will never challenge
the thrilling days of yesteryear created for
it by one Morris Newburger, a whimsical
New York stockbrOIxer.
The story of Newburger is the story of
the mythical team, of Coach Ralph Hurry
Up" Hoblitizel, of Johnny Chung, Stellar Chin
csc halfback," of the wv" formation. and the
amazing naivete of the sports departments
of three of New York's largest and most re-
spected newspapers, the New York Times, the
New York Herald Tribune, and the New York
Post
In the fall of 1871 Newburger, who
had spent his college days at Harvard,
tested theory of his concerning the
scores of those obscure colleges which make
their way into Sundays sports sections via
victories over equally obscure colleges.

On Tuesday, January 10, the

Md. This organization is com.

and owners in the State of
Maryland. To date, it boasts ap-

At this meeting the members

bill introduced by the Depart

charter boat captains. In addi-

this bill would single out the
charter boat captain and i'm
pose on him punitive measures
that are inconceivably harsh
and unjustified. The Association
also voted to sponsor a bill in

which would make it legal for
any hook and line fisherman to

WI, Blair. RIMS.
Have Tough Tits
In Close Race

After a week off for most
teams because of examina-
tons and snow, the County
League teams will try again
this week with a full slate
of basketball games.
Only two games were played,
Northwood's $3.50 triumph over
Suitland on the 18th, and Blair's
1882 thriller over B-CC last
Saturday night. A full set of
games scheduled for last Thurs
day were postponed by the
snow, including the important
Richard Montgomery Walter
johnson game.
Tomorrow the big four in the
county = Landon, Blair, RMIIS
and Walter Johnson will try
again in league games. Landon,
still unbeaten, will play at st.
Adams at $3.50 in an Interstate
Athletic Conference game.
Unbeaton Blair, a one-point
over B-CC, hopes to do better
when it plays host to the al
ways troublesome Wheaton
knights at 8. The Blazers de-
feated Wheaton, 1854, earlier
this month at Wheaton, the
closest game Blair had until the
B-CC contest.
For RMHS and Walter John
son the pressure is now. on.
They must win and keep pace
with the Blazers or see their
hopes for their first basketball
championship 60 down the
drain.
WI has apparently the tough
Ell assignment, stopping a B-CC
team that is fast improving.
Whether the loss to Blair
stopped the Barons' momentum
is yet to be seen.
The Spartans, who held high
scoring Ed Austin to eight
points, his second lowest total
of the season, in a 42-37 WI win
earlier this. month, will once
again try to keep him from
equalling his 1874 average. The
game will be played at 8 at the
WI gymnasium.
Richard Montgomery, which
defeated Northwood by only
two points on the Rockville
floor, will face the Indians at
500 at Northwood. The inconsis-
tent Indians will try to spring
a surprise on the high-rated
Rockets.
Saturday night Northwood
will try to avenge its upset by
Gaithersburg, me tin g the
Trojans at Northwood. Leon
Taylor is expected to lead the
Trojans, who have not lost out
side the County League, but
have only one league victory,
over Northwood.
Tuesday the county teams take
on teams from Prince Georges
in Bi.County games. Only
RMHS plays at home, meeting
Suitland at $3.50. Blair is at
Bladensburg and B-CC at High
Point in feature games.
Also scheduled are Walter
Johnson at Gaithersburg, in a
game that could be better than
the bi-county contests, and a
meeting between the two coun-
ty teams in the LAC, Landon
and Georgetown Prep, at Lam
don at $3.50. Bulls and Long
fellow, the two county teams in
the Central Interscholastic Con-
ference, will meet at the Ken
sington Armory, also at $3.50.
