The time and place for the replaying of the Western-Tech game will be decided on Wednesday at & meeting: of the faculty advisers of the five high schools. Inability to procure a gymnasium large enough to accommodate the crowds attending the contests has caused high school athletic officials to order another split program for tomorrow afternoon. Tech and Cen- tral, age-long rivals, will clash on the George Washington University court at 3:15, while Western and Business meet in the girls' gymnasium at Central High at the same hour. Central Is credited with one win in two starts.

This is one of the main troubles today, there being taken an- nually from the Potomac thousands of small, under-cized bass weighing less than one-half pound. If the fishermen cannot get a law enacted to protect | the bass, surely they should be able to have enforced the laws already enacted. G. C. Leach of the Burcau of Fish- eries is taking a very active interest n the movement and, under date of | January 13, sends the following letter: 1 note you are receiving some very | interesting letters from sportsinen who are interes! in preserving bass fishing in the Potomac. After a care- ful reading of these letters [ feel that their arguments against a closed sea- son are not well founded. The idea of a closed reason is not to produce a large number of bass during a three-year closed period and then permit’ wholesale slaughter thereafter. “During the three-vear period the | river would be well stocked with fish and at the expiration of that time those introduced in the Potomac dur- ing 1925 would be spawning in 1928, If the present act to prohibit the interstate shipment of bass becomes a law it will prevent commercializing this important game fish. In the meantime it might be possible to se- cure better leglslation for the pro- tection of fish. ] “It is my opinion that bass fish-| i ing should be left for the angler, and the States should prohlbit the taking| of bass by any other means. At the! expiration ot the three-year closed | period, I feel that the people would be better educated along this line | and that the various States will hl\(‘] enacted more stringent laws for the | protection of this valuable fish and | that the laws would be better in-| dorsed. | “There is not much use in the Bu-| reau of Fisheries stocking the Po- tomac River with black bass under | present conditions.

Mr. Leech is chief of tho Bureau ish Cuiture of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, and a man whose ahility is well known and un- questioned. ~ His argument for a| closed season in the upper Potomac { should be conclusive proof that not | much can be accomplithed without| it. 1If the Maryland Legislature were | lin session at the present time. this| | column believes there wonld. be lit- | {tle trouble in having a bill passed to close the Potomac for small bass| fishing for the desired geriod.

The argument this colamn is that if a closed season was declared these anglers, or the greater per- centage of them, would not be fish- ing. and those who did would be bass that might enticed to take their bait for fear a game warden might be among crowd of anglers. Of course realizes that will not do m game wardens of the counties an interest and keep a o on the river. But why not; the more anglers their “nets” the more into thelr pock ever one knows closed zood u and season the take watch should they catch money w in g0 s Fishermen Can Help. If nothing else can be done its up to every real bass fisherman to dis- courage all bass anglers from fish- ing the waters of the upper Potomac, telling them that the movement has been started to make the Potomac River one of the best bass fishing streams in the United States. And the natives of both Maryland and Virginia, engaged in hoating and fishing in the upper Potomac, should realize that by helping in this move- ment they also will he helping their families. When the time comes that the Potomac is full of small-mouth bass, the news will spread quickly, and their receipts for boat hire and taking fishing parties out will double and perhaps triple. So the movement will benefit not lonly the angler, but all persons who | have anything to sell, whether it be boats for hire, bait, meals and lodg- benefited if this col- umn’'s dreams of the near future of a Potomac River well stocked with small mouth bass come true. Speaking of dreams, wouldn't it be wonderful if local anglers could fish in the upper Potomac, between the dam just beyond Little Falls and Great Falls, and be assured of coming home with some nlce bass and per- haps the bag limit for the day, which { T hope will not be more than 10 bess? | And again, for those who desire to make a little longer trip, say avound Seneca and Stubblefleld Falls, and then again, going farther up river around Point of Rocks, Weaverton and Harpers Ferry?
