Nearby Creek Heavily Stocked and Notre Dame Navy Game Change
The south branch of French Creek West of the city will be heavily stocked with trout this season. Initial shipments include 4,000 browns and 2,000 rainbows. The stream remains popular and accessible, with big holes from Lowells to Begin. Notre Dame’s 1944 football schedule shows the Navy game moved to Baltimore, and Irish face tough opponents like Pitt Tulane Dartmouth Wisconsin Illinois Navy Army Northwestern Georgia Tech and Great Lakes. Pro football may test a plan to station an assistant coach on the sideline to relay signals to the quarterback, a concept already endorsed by Detroit Lions owner.

Longtime billiards champ George Slossens recalls seven decades at the table
George Slossens left home 82 years ago to pursue billiards and has played daily since. The former world champion across six forms says his secret is no drinking, quitting smoking 30 years ago, and daily walks. He splits the day between naps in his chair and games at the New England Billiard Academy. He began in DeKalb NY at eight, ran away to work in parlors, and later toured internationally, even meeting kings and presidents including Grant, Cleveland, and Edward VII.

Bisons Hang On But Title Hopes Fade In AHL
In Week 8 action the Buffalo Bisons trail the Boston Bears by five points in the Eastern Division of the American Hockey League. They must win all three remaining games, two against the Bears and one versus the Cleveland Barons, to finish on top.
