OUTDOOR Potomac Fishing Becomes More Important 25,000 Added Angle The early Potomac River fishing | will take on new importance this year, for the reason there will be more fishing, fewer places to go for | it and with long trips cut to a minimum Why will thre be a greater num- ber fishing? Because in any of our ‘ seaboard areas the ratio of anglers is one in every four persons. and with an increase in population totaling more than 100.000, the answer now is there will be 25,000 | more anglers. There will be fewer places to go because lengthened work weeks will necessitate closeby fishing. Long trips are out for the same reason, | with the exception of the single va- | cation binge, and that will be gov- | erned by the condition of the tires on the family bus. Like our river fishing, bay fishing | will not be changed in any way be- | cause of the war, unless crowded conditions should be placed in thnt category. The extra load =1 be‘ absorbed by larger parties. It is well into May before the bay | variety of engling gets well under way, and it is for that reason we add the importance to the fishing up the Potomac. ‘The February catfishing will not draw a material increase of fisher- | men, but there is little doubt about the March run of white perch. The succeeding runs, with a daily warm- ing sun, will add to the number, while the spawning run of stripers probably will attract a number be- g:nd anything old-timers along the nks ever have experienced. We are fortunate in this area, for there should be no disturbing factors worth considering. Offshore fishing may feel the heavy hand of war. If the undersea boats con- A 3 I | anywhes S With BILL ACKERMAN | rs Expected Here ‘ tinue to haunt our coasts there is no doubt the Coast Guard will hold the boats inside. Down along the Florida coast there has been no change in flihmz | 1t is flourishing. It will unless enemy sul pay that coast a visit. In other years requests for nev.':\ of the Southern Florida area and | where to go were in the great ma- Jjority. Now they merely ask if there has been any curtailment of | activities, seemingly satisfied to 20 | e fishing is possible. There | are. however, many who are giving | up these midwinter trips, most likely | because of the present activity off | our northern coasts. \ Some northern fishing contests | already have been set aside for the | | duration, but the Palm Beach Derby anc¢ the Greater Miami Fishing | Tournament are going full blast, | w/th not such large fish as were | caught during the first 10 days of | | the 1941 contest but with a greater | number of smaller fish being en- tered. Offshore fishing in Florida is ac- complished within a mile or two of the beach. For that reason it will continue. Bridge fishing is out from | one end of the 175 miles of the Overseas highway to the other. There are uniformed men patroling the spans, while Navy and Coast Guard boats ply the surrounding waters. But there are more boats available on the keys than ever be- fore, and fishing always will be possible. With many passing up the deep- sea fishing on general principles and going to this area for the first time, there will be a new conception of the fishing possibilities in the Bay of Florida. The greater num- bers of anglers will boom many places missed in the past. s Few Scholarships te Offer. | “We make a habit of investigating every boy recommended or brought to our attention. We never pigeon- hole a letter, no matter from how far it comes. If we can't look over the athlete ourselves, we arrange to get an alumnus in that section to do it for us. | “But because we have a limited number of scholarships and because we feel that our territory develops as good football players as any other we don’t go outside the neigh- borinz Sutu of Arkan:at Alabama 1o Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky and our own Tennessee. “We have only ships. Other schools have twice that number and can take chances. ‘We can’t. We look a boy over, bring him to the campus and let the uni- versity and the plavers sell them- selves to the prospective gridder,” Sanders said. Territory Is Well Covered. “Coach Bear Bryant knows Ala- bama and Arkansas. He does the recruiting there. Herc Alley knows Mississippi and East Tennessee, Norman Cooper also works in Ala- bama and Jim Scroggins scouts | around In Kentucky. I go every place. “Every coach is busy nowadays getting material in his own State. There’s no set up anywhere in the Big Twelve today,” Sanders added.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Jan. 26.— Tax revenues for the State's coun- | ties and for public welfare work al- ready total more than a million dol- lars from Florida’s racing season, | only one-third gone. Gov. Spessard L. Holland released | figures which showed that taxes on betting at all horse and dog tracks and the one jai alai fronton yielded $1,018,140 through January 23. Most of the increase came from an added 5 per cent tax on horse race betting to finance old-age as- | sistance and aid to children pro- grams. War Bound fo Crowd Capifal's Privafe, Public Links Pros Estimate New U. S. Workers Will Increase Golf Ranks by 10,000 War will have a decided impact on golf throughout the land, with the golfball situation the darkest spot, but the pro golfers around Washington see only bright pros- pects for 1042, All of them believe Washington is in for one of its biggest years in terms of rounds of golf played, even though they don't see the situation in terms of added revenue to them, for here again the golf ball matter hits them hard. If you don't have golf balls to sell you don’t make a profit on 'em. Here's the way Al Houghton fig- ures it: “A great many new work- ers are coming to Washington this year. Travel figures into the city show the influx has been going on for weeks. Possibly 100,000 new workers will come to the city and around 300,000 new people in all will come in. Many will be golfers, Clubs Will Fill Lists. “Maybe they won't have a lot of time to play, for they will be work- ing hard. But they will have some time and daylight saving will bring a longer play day. In the long days of summer they can leave their desks at 5 o'clock afid get in 18 holes of golf before darkness, around 8:30, daylight time. ¥ “The public courses will absorb | much of this added play, but the private clubs will get their quota, | too. Many of the clubs here have‘ full memberships and some have waiting lists, but I believe those which are not crowded now will | have full membership lists by the | middle of summer.” Houghton’s estimate is shared by most of the pros, but it will not be | possible for applicants to get into | some of the clubs. Chevy Chase, Columbia and Army Navy have long waiting lists. Washington, Manor, Kenwood, Indian Spring and Argyle are nearing the point where they will have waiting lists. Prince Georges, Congressional and Ban- nockburn have vacancies which may be filled in & few months. It may not be easy to get into a country | club if the expected flock of appli- | cations materializes. \ Will Tax All Facilities. | 15 or 20 scholar- heavy- ‘ include Olga Baranoff vs. | Wiffy Cox estimates that possibly 0 per cent of the hewcomers to | the Capital will be golfers. If you put 10,000 new golfers on the pub- | lic and private courses around the Capital, the facilitles would be over- taxed. Five thousand new golfers would jam the present courses avail- able to them. So, if these estimates are correct and the expected big golf year works out, congestion on the local courses | may be greater than ever. But the pros won't be able to get golf balls They aren't moaning—yet. But | | mev may be.
