It was decided | to have a gold cup, sponsored by the | President of the United States, as the chief trophy of the regatta and to call the event the ‘President's Cup re- gatta.’ May Be New Challengen for Famous Yacht Trophy = .

Gill nets are from 1000 to 2,000 feet long and about 20 feet deep. They can easily surround a whole school of fish, and few es- cape. Sport fish- ermen have for GE Capt. J. O.

They've been dead for cold spell last Winter when they froze in the ice. Hundreds of these half- | decayed fish are floating in the water, especially along the shore, where the wind has blown them. They were supposed to have been cleaned out long ago, and some of them were, but very unpleasant around the basin. There hardly is a place where an angler may drop his line without haw- ing it rest on a slimy, smelly shad corpse.

The actuai| management of the regatta, however, was under a committee, the member- | beyond that of the two organizations. While this arrangement broadened the | interest in the regatta, it placed it in the hands of a non-continuous group of volunteer workers. "NEED for a more businesslike, self- perpetuating body to carry on the regatta was recognized as early as 1932. The 1933 regatta saw the intro- duction of swimming, rowing and | canoeing events, and the first of the| beautiful illuminated night pageants. | The addition of these events to the regatta program still further broad-| ened the interest and participation of | the community, and it was definitely realized that the regatta had becom2 & large civic enterprise instead of an aquatic activity of a single group. “In March, 1934, the President’s Cup Regatta Association was formally | incorporated. The Articles of in- corporation represented the careful thought of men closely associated with | the regatta for a number of years, who had in mind the crestion of an or- ganization which would not only, carry on the President’s Cup Regatta, but| which would be so strong and so| representative as to assume a place of | leadership in all aquatic interests in | and around Washington. The ob- Jectives of the association are to pro- mote the sport of boating and the im- provement of the water facilities in | and around Washington.” ‘That capable management of and equitable representation in the asso- clation has been assured is seen from & glance at the names of the men who have been at its head and now serve us the Board of Governors.

In addition to the Winter tournament the league conducts a tournament for the | championship of Southern California.

On Morphy day chess players renew | old friendships and meet new lovers of | ~the royal game. The best talent of Southern California assembles to give the beginners a thrill in their wiz- ardry. The gathering is saturated with chess.
