The coaches and ally everybody connected with the university has an optimistic feeling about the probable outcome of the most important games. “Of course, it is impossible to predict the outcome of this year's games, but if we can keep our men from getting burt, I am not going to worry,” said Oberst. “The boys are enthusiastic, and I shall have no trouble putting & team of experienced and able players on the field. We shall spend a good deal of the time developing our reserve o as that is where we seem somewhat weak.” Schedule is Changed. Tennessee, Florida and North Caro- lina, which have been played for sev- eral years, will not be met this season. Replacing them are Maryland and Ken- tucky, back on the list after an ab- sence of a year, and Duke, tucky game is at Lexington, Ky. ber 18, the one with Maryland at Col- Park, November 8, and the Duke contest at Durham. .

Groop 1s back for center, Harris, Holstein, Til- son and Martin are the old men being used in the guard positions, and the tackle jobs are being alternated between Faulkner, Bailey and Wofford. Martin and Evans are doing most of the work at a:;nn‘bck. while Thibodeau, Jones, Mel! and Mattox are the halfbacks, and Stephens and Burgoyne the fullbacks. . Stephens seems to be something of a find, &s he weighs around 200 and is fast and agile. The Generals feel that they bene- fited much from the Spring practice they had last year. It was the first time that real foot ball has been played at and its results now seera to be in & much-improved squad. Coach Oberst believes in Spring workouts and he &m in a lot of good licks, izing his players with the Notre Dame methods of attack and defense. _ ' Starts Season Early. The greatest part of the work done by the squad so far has been more in the nature of getting the men in shape for hard work. Only two scrimmages have taken place, but on Monday Coach Oberst is to begin the real task of pre- paring for the formal games. The sea- son is to be opened a week earlier than last year, but the opening contest is not heavy, In fact, the Generals have rather an easy outlook for their first three games, with plenty of opportunity to bring their team along gradually. The schedule is better balanced by far than any other in the South Atlantic section. Present prospects are that Washing- ton and Lee will have a heavy, fast line and an aggressive, agile backfield, in which weight and speed are likely to be well balanced. It seems probable that Faulkner, who has been getting a chance to play tackle, will make good in that position, in which case he and Frank Bailey will hold down these jobs. Willlams and Bledsoe are almost cer- tain to be the regular ends, with Martin and Tilson at the fulrdm Groop, & veteran, is at his old job at center. Martin s the leading candidate for quarter, with Mattox, Thibodeau and Mitchell running best for places in the regular backfieM, with Stephens giving them a hard rub. Dick Smith, graduate manager of athletics, looks for the team to be much stronger than it was a year $go. Dick says: “We have the material for the best eleven we have turned out in some time. | Coach Oberst is well satisfied, and we | are all looking for good things, Our Teserve men do not seem as strong as they might be, but for the regular | varsity jobs the outlook is exceptionally | good. I belleve that we shall have the | best pair of ends in the South in Wil- liams and Bledsoe. Our line as a whole gives promise of real strength, and right | Tow we have no right to grumble about | our backfleld prospects.” CARD FOR RING SHOW | NEARLY COMPLETED A Only Two Four-Rounders Need to‘} Be Added to Fort Washington Program for Monday.

Congress Heights will be the scene of the other battle, that between the Ana- costia Eagles and Bauserman Motor Co,, title holders of Northern Virginia. This game also starts at 3 o'clock. On the strength of their showings to date, the majority of sandlot fans are of the opinion that the Dixie Pigs, who nosed out Mount Rainier for the Prince Georges pennant, have the edge on the other teams, although all are rated strong. This play-off series does not mean that a defeat for one of these clubs to- morrow spells elimination, for the double-knockout system, which was used successfully in the city series, will be in order. Two defeats must be re- corded against & team before it is eliminated. FRUIT GROWERS’ NINE TAKES HURLING DUEL Scores Over Potterfields in Alex- andria Series—Celties Play Medicos Tomorrow. .

ROD AND LL'S well along the Potomac, In tidewater and above tidewater, but the Shenandoah is muddy. C. E. Marlott in his tele- gram says: “Potomac River clear and Shenandoah very muddy. Both rivers are filling up to normal gradually. Pishing s good as bass are beginning to come out and bite. Some very good catches made last week, several bass landed weighing 2% pounds. No heavy rain for several months, only ocea- sional light showers. Weather cool last several days and partly cloudy, ideal | for fishing.” The cool nights we have been en- joying evidently have lowered, some- | What, the temperature of the water and caused the small-mouth bass to bite. Anglers after these gamesters say they have had great sport. Edw. C. Kemper, well known local angler and conservationist, at Seneca recently & small-mouth welghing 3 pounds 9 ounces and entered it in the Rod and Stream contest. e presented the beauty to your corre: - ent and, oh, boy, it was delicious! ‘W. GOODWIN and Grandon Ben- « nett, fishing in the Potomac be- tween Cabin John Runand Great Falls, caught 15 bass weighing from 1% to 3l pounds. These two anglers the water. They used artificial bait, mostly files, and waded about the river, at times being in water up to their necks. Bennett, who is a real true angler, says bass are more plentiful in the Potomac this year than for years. He has been fishing this stream for 20 years. And our correspondent over in Vir- ginia again reports that Goose Creek is furnishing excellent sport for anglers after the small-mouth bass. Big-mouth bass in the Lower Potomac are report- ed to be numerous. One angler in par- ticular, who goes downstream several times each week, says he has never seen so many bass. Of course, the clearness of the water this year makes this possible, but these big-mouth fel- lers have mnot commenced to strike. During the remainder of the bass fish- ing season, or until the weather gets too cold for comfort, bass anglers, if not interfered with by muddy water, may expect great sport. ORTIMER KING and George Mul- ligan, local anglers, visited Rock Point last Sunday. Mortimer is a regular visitor to the Point, spending almost every week end down there. He re) that last Sunday, after a more or less uneventful day fishing in the Potomac and Wicomico Rivers, he and ‘Mulligan went into the hotel for their supper. While eating, Tommy Stein rushed in and informed them the fish were breaking on the bar right off the hotel. They hurriedly left the table, got a motor boat and, trolling, landed 27 fish in 25 minutes. Their catch ccnsisted of rock, blues and trout. The largest trout weighed 52 pounds, the largest blue tipped the scales at 315 pounds and the rockfish ran from 115 pounds to 3 pounds. King informed us that last year his largest catch at the Point was 71 fish, for a total weight of over 300 pounds. And here's another proof that the fish are biting in the lower Potomac. Bob Kidwell, D. H. Bellauf, Peter Hilt, Robert Kidwell, sr., and J. Dickinson, fishing off Colonial Beach, caught 85 hx;c eads in two hours. . B. Harford and H. Mawson, fish- ing off Deals Island, Md., on the East- ern Shore, landed 60 trout, 30 hard- heads and three sand sharks, besides numerous King Willam 'h. They say that Capt. Charles Whitelock is & Lemler, Earl Flood, John said they returned many small fish to | ‘o they were eager to take the lures. s STREAM BY PERRY MILLER: Renwick and A. K. Rowe, with Capt. Eddie Bowen as their guide, fished about four hours at Solomons Island and caught 35 taylors, weighing from 2 to 5 pounds; 50 trout and 15 hard- heads. J. H. Jones and Mrs. Jones of Trin- ity Towers, fishing at Solomons, landed 106 fish—trout, blues, hardheads and spot. These two anglers also had Capt. Eddie Bowen as their guide. Mrs. Jones caught the largest , & trout weigh- ing 6 pounds. The blues averaged nearly 3 pounds. They fished from 10 a.m. until 4 pm., using peeler crabs as t. APT. GEORGE M. BOWEN, who keeps Rod and Stream informed about fishing conditions down his way, says the sport is improving every day. He is having a hard time obtain- ing enough boats to take out all par- ties visiting Solomons. Herbert C. Cave, Thomas S. Ser- geon, Edward P. Bradley, August Bruehl, Angelo Giovannetti, Willlam Hoover, sr, and Willlam Hoover, jr., with Capt. Luther ter, at Broomes Island, caught about’ 75 fish of differ- ent varieties, among them”two trout, one weighing 5'4 pounds and the other 2% pounds, and a croaker weighing 3 pounds, caught by Cave. In the lower Potomac, around Leon- ardtown, George Knight reports excel- lent fishing with the largest recent catch made by Dr. R, T. J. Barber, lo- cal angler, with a party of friends just Barber's estate on St. Georges Is- land. These anglers landed 350 pounds of fish—blues, rockfish and hardheads. Knight reports these ‘were caught in a little over three hours, and when the party returned to the wharf there was great excitement among na- tive fishermen over the catch. Larger fish and larger catches are ex- pected during the remainder of this month and October. Rod and Stream’s contest continues to November 1.
