By the Associated Press. AMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. Sep- tember 10.— Coach Charlie Bernier is making no secret of the fact that the Hamp- den-Sydney Tigers expect to do a lot of passing this year. Every back on the team will be taught to throw that ball, he said. With 11 lettermen on hand, Bernier, starting his seventeenth year with the Tigers, was cheerful over prospects. The problem of how to replace “Soup” Campbell at center puzzled him con- siderably, but he hoptd he had the so- lution in Carroll McCann of Peters- burg, a sophomore. McCann, al- though light, showed- himself an able performer in practice. Douglass Seen Sparkplug. BIRCH, DOUGLASS, ineligible last year, may be the sparkplug of the Tiger backfleld, while young Char- lie Bernier, who reported in fine shape after a Summer as guard, may have his best season unless injuries slow him up. Bernier's 11 lettermen include Capt. Bill Formwalt at end; Harshbarger, | Chambers and price, guards; Williams, Dallas Ogden and Doval Ogden, tackles, and Douglass, White, Bernier and Hyde in the backfield.

POLO AGAIN POSTPONED National Championships Now Are to Start Thursday. NEW YORK, September 10 ().— The national open polo championships, scheduled to ge! under way today on International Field at the Meadow- brook Club, have been postponed again because of rainy weather. Officials postponed the opening until Thursday after heavy down- pours soaked the playing field last night. Westbury will ride against Aurora on the opening day, while the invading English team, riding under the colors of Hurlingham, will meet the Hurricanes.

CHICAGO, September 10.—Soft | ball teams from Toledo, Ohio, and Phoenix, Ariz, are the favorites in the national tournament which enters its semi-final round today. The for- mer meets the entry from Peoria, Ill, in one game while Phoenix en- gages the Rochester, N. Y., nine in the other. With two victories yesterday, in- cluding an extra-inning conquest of the highly rated Cincinnati team, Toledo stamped itself as one of the strongest teams in the tournament. Phoenix, however, kept pace with the co-favorite by turning in a pair of shutouts, trimming Pittsburgh, 1-0, in a 12-inning thriller, George Kremble's fourth home run of the tournament enabled Rochester also to win two shutouts during the day. Coming in the first inning, it relurned the New Yorkers a 1-0 vic- tor over Minneapolis after they had swamped Lansing, 8-0, earlier. at G.

UCH has been written aboul the black bonito or cabio fanded in the waters of Chesapeake Bay off West- land, Va. We know some of these fish have been caught weighing as much as 76 pounds, and have en- Joyed eating pieces of them given us by some of our angling friends, but, we are frank to say, we de not think these fish are present in large enough num- bers to warrant a drive of 160 miles to seek them. We visited this place last Sunday and chummed all day without getting a strike. We felt that our fishing education would be sadly lacking without a trip to Windmill Light, so Saturday, ac- companied by Harold Vermeule, George E. Dieffenbach and Nelson C. Davis, we left town at 9:30 p.m. and arrived at Westland at 3:45 in the morning. We had no trouble until we reached 8 place on the Richmond road the other side of Fredericksburg, where a man with a big red lantern stopped us and said that road No. 17 was closed, owing to a bad washout. How- ever, we took road No. 17 to Tappa- hannock and Warsaw, then made de- tour to Farnham, Lancaster, proceeded straight to Kilmarnock, White Stone and Westland. On the trip down we hit a light rain this side of Fredericksburg, and from this place to Westland, the rain came down in torrents, and contin- ued right to dawn. We saw signs of the recent heavy storm in all direc- tions. The cornfields were all down flat on the ground and every mill pond in the Northern Neck swept | away, or, as they say in that section of the country, “all ponds are out.” Getting back to our fishing trip, we left the wharf at Westland at about 4:30 Sunday morning with Capt. The wind was blow- ing from the southeast, but not kick- ing up much of a sea. We went out to Windmill Light and anchored about | yesterday morning that on Saturday | TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER and | 10, 1935. @ MlI..LERj &‘?'_‘: s = bonito was landed. After a rather disappointing day we finally brought the small blues within our casting range and landed 29, all small, weigh- ing around 12 or 2 pounds. 1t seems to us that driving 160 miles to lahd one or possibly two black bonito is. asking too much of the anglers, especially considering the fact that there are no big blues being landed in those waters. If an angler can spend two or three days down in that neck of the woods, all right and good, but for one day, take our ad- vice and don't try it. We also think that the recent storm blew the bonito to some other place, because when four anglers taking advantage of both tides cannot get a strike in 14 hours’ fishing there is something wrong. However, our day was a success in that we did land enough blues for a good dinner. Capt. Richard Selph proved to be a hard worker, trying his best to bring the fish around the boat. No one can find any fault with him, he certainly did try hard. He told me Sunday he could take care of three or four an- glers overnight, which, in our opinion, is the best way to make this trip. His phone is Kilmarnock 203, and his charge for the boat are: One to three persons, $10; four or more, $12. V. Gomez, A. Ruppert, R. Eveler and R. Sanford also went to the mouth of the Rappahannock Sunday seeking black bonito. They stopped at White Stone and engaged Capt. Lee Harper, who told them the bay was too rough, and they fished in a protected place and landed four small blues or snap- pers, two smaller sea trout, some white perch and one of the biggest toads on record. Capt. L. M. Spriggs, at Piney Point, who is doing all his fishing these days on Southwest Middles, informed us SPORTS ° NET ‘GIANT KILLER | HASBUDGE ONRUN | |Resumes Rain-Halted Tilt Today With Two Sets Won, and Lead in Third.

Hardy Pearce has found a husky squad at Central. With Paul Whedon and “Schnoz” Kline at the flank posts; Bill Mandes and John Swank at tackle, Capt. Ross Chaimson and Morton Walker at guard and Vincent Meenehan at center, the Mount Pleas- ant pigskinners can put a 192-pound average line on the field. Pearce will need a heavy and fast- charging line to take care of a light backfield, however. With Billy Rich- erdson, Norman Sabatini, Johnny Jones and Billy Vermillion in the starting line-up, Central's backfleld would scale an average of 159. Only Sabatini, who tips the beams at 175, can be counted upon to batter a line, but Bill Wooton, 176, is coming along fast and may displace one of last year's regulars.
