Owing to the dry weatherthat seems to have prevailed, there are not as many ducks stopping to feed on the little lakes as last year. Several of the nearby clubs report that there Is little or no water In their lakes, and that the hunters are having to follow the birds rather than have the birds come to them; as they have in years gone by.

Duck shooters who visit the lakes hope for heavy rainfall before the cold weather sets in, so that the lakes will not be dry when the big drive of ducks starts. Here's an Optimistic Report.

Olass, who put the shot 46 feet for Yale, and was one of the greatest line men after Heff elflngers time, came along several years later. Princeton had in Eddie Hart and John K. DeWitt two of the most powerful men that ever played football. DeWitt was holder of the college hammer throwing record, 30 feet better than the old mark made by Hlok-ok years before his time.
