With the exception of | some few big high schools in scat- it is doubtful if high schools turn out as strong teams schools. That holds good in all and track, especially. Per- haps the prep schools devote more time to uthletics and have better coaching. Ceriainly many of them enjoy the advantages of better coach- ing than the high schools generally have. Also it is true that many high gchool men, with experience in_high school athietics, go to prep schools. and consequently the prep school teams are made up of more experi- enced and older men. Especially is| this true in the North. | This situation I many places 10 SUg: ons that track | and field meets be divided in two | classes, one for prep schools and one | for high schools. Recently Dr. Bar-| yett, coach of the Central High School | of Charlotte, N.

We Who have to do with high schools cannot compete successfully with brep schools. We may once in i while, but a general thing we cannot. Prep school athletes usually are older, stronger and more experi- enced and competition of that kind discouraging to high school given rise’ in s is understood that the Uni- sity of Maryland contemplates some change in its meet which will do away with the feeling among high schools that they cannot compete on 2 basis of equal opportunity with prep schools and at the same time offer the prep schools plenty of chances to compete among them- celves. It is possible that two com- Dlete sets of championship events for the South Atlantic section may be held, one for the high schools and one for the prep schools.

HILE perch fishing has not been very good this season, there are many of these gamey little fellows in the Potomac. 4 for this, according to one of the best informed river front men, is that the anglers do not go after these fish as they did some few years back. In other words, these men who rent rowboats to the anglers on the | Potomac River say that today they are lucky to have out a half a dozen | | boats. where in past years they had out as many as 20 a day. | Another reason, they say, is that the automobile has played a promi- | nent part in taking anglers from the Potomac in the vicinity of \\'ashing-f ton to more distant points. Will Reynolds, who hely column posted on what along the Potomac. seen what he ea perch this year. Of course, there have been some catches of 20 or 30 perch, but not so long ago the anglers came back with market bakkets full of keep this going on he has not | | perch and only kept the larger ones. Formerly it was a hard matter to get hold of a boat when the perch were | running, and the river was dotted with fishermen’s craft. 3ut. alas, today evervthing is dif ferent. There is no difficulty” in pro curing a boat and the angler can go | anv place on the river without inter-| fering with other fishermen. TI\(" writer has seen the time when it was a very difficult and sometimes dang ous matter to get a boat anchored in the place he wanted in the upper | river. because of the swift water and the m: v other boats. One river front man reports that} last Wednesiay night, while on-the river in front of his boathouse, he noticed a_school of fish going up- stream. He thought thev were rock from the way they jumped out of the water. He baited his line with herring. but failed to land any. The next day, he said, a man named Wright told him he had landed: 30 rock in the vicinity of Chain Bridge. some of them weighing about 3 pounds. This particular water-front man said he thought he could not be mistaken in the kind of fish he had seen. because, he said, he had been for the last 40 years. Those anglers . who are interested in fishing for the game rock will be glad to learn that these fish have commenced to strike at both artificial and other baits at Solomons Island. Last Sunday one boat load landed more than 100 of them, and another party, out only a few hours, succeeded in catching more than 30. They ranged in size from the pan rock to fish weighing 5 to 6 pounds. The majority of these fish were landed by trolling. From Benedict and Rock Point come reports that the hardheads are numerous and are biting wonderfully. At Chesapeake Beach, where they have been late in starting to strike this Spring. they are at last taking bait in active fashion. In appreciation of the work done in the House and Senate by Repre- entative Hawes and Senator Watson in having the black bass bill passed, the following, signed by a number of local anglers, was forwarded to the Congressmen. “We, the- undersigned, anglers and | lovers of the great outdoors, living in | and around the City of Washington, express to you our great appreciation for your deep interest and untiring work in connection with the bill intro- duced and fathered by you prohibiting the interstate shipment and sale of the large and small mouth bass. “The successful termination of this bill recently brings you a vote of thanks from the vast army of fisher- men who love the sport and who feel a thrill of joy in landing these splendid gamesters. We are grateful to you, all classes, rich and poor, young and old, as we look forward to a vacation or an outing with a sport that is superior to all others in pro- ducing health, strength and the love of nature. “May you yourself live to enjoy many more years of the life with the pleasures that you are responsible for giving to other: While the passage of the black bass bill undoubtedly will help a great deal in preventing the many evils that have been heaped upon the large and small mouth bass, after studying the bill closely there yet remains two important things to be accomplished to close the Washington and Balti- RADIATORS, FENDERS BODIES MADE AND REPAIRED TORS FOR AUTOS NF!

The bill as passed says “it shall liver to any common carrier for transportation, or for any com carrier or for any person know to transport or c: v, by any means whatsoever, from any State, Te o or throngh any other State, Terrltory. the District of Columbia. or all ro paste tition large mouth bass or any small s which has either been c sold, purchased or possessed in viola- tory, or the District of Columba, |fond wherein the delivery of such black bass for transportation is made or transaction or the carryin thereof hegins.” As the District of Columbia has ro law prohibiting the sale or shipment of these fish nor has Maryland, it is hard to see where this bill benefits either Washington or Baltimore anglers. The passage of this bill in Congress is undoubtedly an enterinz wedge and will help materially, but what the anglers of Washington and Baltimore want is to have their markets closed to the sale of these game fish. This column intends to ask United States Fish Commissioner O'Malley | to call a conference of the fish com- | missioners of Maryland, Virginia and | West Virginia to see what is the hest method to take to get this de- sired action. The belated fishing season at Chesa- peake Beach started in at a good pace the past week with some | notable catches of hardheads. The size and quality of the fish measured up very well to the catches of the former seasons, but it must be sald in all fairness to the numbers of District of Columbia anglers who went down to the Beach and re- mained up all night to get the wary and scarce Spring adventurers that the opening of the season was not marked by any great number of catches. ‘Among those to test their fortune were the well known Washington anglers, Messrs. W. H. Ronald, W. T. Bailey, W. Pumphrey, H. Davis and others of the regulars who go down to the Beach every recurring season. No rockfish have been seen in the returning anglers’ baskets and it is not expected that many will be seon} for some time. The fishing for some | years past has been none too good and it requires all the best conditions for fishing to compensate any fishing efforts either on the long pier or in the outside waters at t'hosuponkoi Beach.
