G. W. GRID SCHOOL OFF Action Is Forced by Late Arrival of Colonial Mentors. Football coaches of the local high and prep schools have been invited to visit George Washington's training camp which opens at Camp Letts, Md., on September 1, but there will be no d coaching clinic such as proposed Colonial authorities some time ago.

Home again after two months as a | tennis councilor at Camp Songaceewis t Lake Willoughby, Vt., Miss Turnbull yesterday spoke in glowing terms of her | newest sport “find.” | “It’s a much freer game than hockey | and a lot easfer to learn,” declared the | ex-Colonial miss who never had any trouble learning any game. “You see, you don’t have to worry | about the condition of the ground as | you do in hockey, wondering which | way the ball is going to hop after strik- | ing a rut or a dent. Whereas in hockey 1 you have to keep your eye on the ball | while running at top speed, in hcros:ei you only have to run with the bullvl which is in the webbing of your crosse. | You are independent once you've pos- session of the ball and you can do wh you want with it.” Named the left attack wing of the | | all-America reserve team, in addition | to her appointment to the first wom- | en’s team ever sent abroad by this country, Miss Turnbull has hopes of starting a Washington Women's La- crosse Association here next Spring.| She says a fine nucleus for such an organization exists in the Washing-| ton Hockey Association and that there‘ would be no conflict between the two, | which are played at different seasons of the year.

There are to be 34 classes, with hunters leading each day’s program. ‘This type is to be brought prominently | to the fore because some of the out- standing breeding establishments of the East are situated in the county. The steeplechase, which has been | on the program for some years, is be- | ing dropped. due to the fact that it was never fllled. Instead, there will| be two additional flat races. | The R.

HOYAS GETTING SET The sixtieth year of foot ball at| Georgetown University will open Sep- | tember 5, it was announced today by Gabe Murphy, graduate manager of athletics.

AT, NUMBER of dead bluefish along the shore of Franklin Manor were reported to u: with the usual query, “Wha. caused their death?” .Of course, we are unable to say, but we think they may have met their death at the hands of the men who are catching fish illegally. As previously reported, purse netters and seiners are operating in bay wa- ters. About two weeks ago we re- celved a report of numbers of dead rockfish floating in Herring Bay. These fish were too small to be sold, hence they were thrown back. It may be that something of the sort happened to the blues, but surely & blue weighing 22 or 3 pounds was | not thrown back because of size, but more likely owing to the approach of a police boat. The Maryland Con- servation Department is after these men, and it will be only a matter of a short time before they are appre- hended. The Maryland authorities' are making every effort to break up this illegal practice. Washington | anglers are spending thousands of | dollars each week in their quest of | blues and sea trout. They should be afforded the proper protection from illegal fishermen. “WXLL you please describe the | method used to catch rockfish, | still - fishing, off Tall Timbers, Md. My father has a cottage at this place, and although I have been there many times, I have never seriously tried rock fishing,” one voung angler writes us. Still - fishing for the rock in the Lower Potomac is a fascinating sport. A fairly strong line is needed, 30- pound test or stronger, to which is at- tached a wire leader. These wire leaders are 3 feet long when purchased from a sport goods store. We sug- gest that you make your own leader | with piano wire, using about a foot and a half of wire instead of three. | We think it will enable the angler to | land his fish with greater ease. A | channel bass hook is used with an entire soft crab. There are umu‘ when rock fish will push it along sev- | eral inches and then grab it, and when he does, oh boy, what sport will be yours. When trolling the same strength line is used with wire leader, and one of the following well known lures. Hunfington, Yates, Pfleugger Record, the new Chamberlain lure, and a Japanese feather. The same rig is used to catch blues and sea trout. WE RECEIVED word from Capt. L. L. Midgett at Wanchese, N. C., that the blues are being caught weighing from 1 to 4 pounds, and that channel bass and sea trout are coming back to these famous fishing grounds. It has been some weeks since we have heard any from Capt. Midgett about fishing conditions at When he says the fish <, ROD N0 STREAM ! i l | | are there, we know it is a fact. We stated several days ago the toll on | both bridges has been lifted, thereby | reducing the cost of the trip $3. | Capt. C. F. Willoughby at Ridge, Md., St. Jeromes Creek, informs us that the wind has been from the east | for the past three or four days, wit| much cloudy and rainy weather. How- ever, he seems to think there are good signs for a change. Rough water is the only thing stand- ing between fish and angler these days. We would like to see a good electrical storm to clarify the air and bring seasonal weather. That’s what all anglers are now praying for to clear the muddy fresh-water streams and the rough water in broad areas. The water is reported clear in Pis- cataway Creek, but much too warm for the large mouth bass to be strik- ing in their usual manner. Last Sun- day the largest reward was three to | one boat. Sergt. Richardson is ready to meet all the demands of the anglers | both in boats and fresh bait. | The Potomac and Shenandoah Riv: ers are muddy at Harpers Ferry and both branches of the Shenandoah also are muddy at Riverton, Va. WILSON TEACHERS | 60 FOR FOOT BALL Will Meet Shippensburg Eleven September 28 in School’s < First Grid Game. WU.SON TEACHERS' COLLEGE, prominent on local basket ball courts last season, will make a bolder step this Fall by branching out into intercollegiate foot ball. The Owls, piloted by Doc White, will meet Shippensburg State Teach- ers’ College in their first fray on Sep- tember 28 at Shippensburg, Pa. A week later Upsala College will be faced at East Orange, N. J. Although most of his material will be inexperienced, White will have a nucleus of 10 men who have seen some service on the gridiron. Branca, Teeple, Hunt, Davis, Fox, Gerardi, Newton, Foster, Allman and Frech will report for practice on September 3. Freshmen are expected to augment the squad. After October 5 the team will re- main yactive until November 2, when Millersville State Teachers’ College of Pennsylvania will invade for the | Owls’ first home game. Shepherd State Teachers’ College will be played here on November 23 and Wilson is planning to close its season against Shenandoah College here cu Novem- ber 28 in a game which is now pending. | TRAP TITLE GOES. TODAIRY FARMER Torge, Too Slow for Base Ball, Has Perfect 200 in Champs’ Class. BY FRITZ HOWELL, Associated Press Sports Writer. ANDALIA, Ohio, August 21.—A New York dairy farmer, who quit playing base ball because he “had to hit a home run to get to first base,” and took up trap- shooting, today perched atop the “champion of champions” throne of the clay target sport. He is Elmer Torge of Wales Center. N. Y., former player with the Bay City, Mich., professional base ball club. He quit the diamond sport to take up dairy farming. turned to trap- shooting for recreation seven years ago and hit the top with a bang yes- terday when he broke 200 targets in a row. Only Perfect Mark. ARRAYED against him were 33 State champions and the Canal Zone and Canadian title-holders, but his was the lone perfect mark of the day in the big fracas. Two others, Fred S. Tomlin of Glasboro, N. J., professional, and Hale C. Jones of East Alton, Ill, turned in perfect marks, but they were not in the champion of champions race, which was reserved for State champs. Tomlin used his 200 in a row to take the professional crown and Jones cracked the full string in a futile effort to help the West's 10-man team defeat the East. The boys from the East, however, won the match, 1977 to 1,970, over the 2,000-target route. Otto B. Kiehl of Pittsburgh, Kans., who at 14 holds the Kansas junior and handicap titles, added the North American subjunior crown to his list by breaking 98 out of 100. The young- ster says he likes this trapshooting game, but that he likes to play the viclin or go fishing just as well. BOXERS IN FREE SHOW. A free boxing show, featuring 10 bouts by the Volunteer Firemen of Capitol Heights, will be given at 8 o'clock tomorrow night at Sixty-first street and Central avenue. Trainer Robert E. Ennis, who is justice of the peace at that town, invites the public. TRICO WINDSHIELD WIPERS When the sun is blazing hot, - our motor heat goes up, too! To protect your motor, use Germ Processed Oil, which has 2 to 4 times greater film strength and is less affected by extreme motor heat! 'OUR MOTOR runs lots hotter in Sum- mer. That's why you must have oil that maintains bigh film strength under extreme tem- peratures to get safe lubrication. Otherwise, the lubricating film ruptures and cylinders suffer damaging wear.
