At the beginning of each fishing
season this column gives a few hints
Tor the anglers, which, if followed, are
bound to be helpful.
First OF all. be careful when ycll
get III or out of a. rowboat. Plant your
foot as nearly i'm the middle of the
boat as possible, in order to avoid
upsetting the boat and a sudden
plunge into the water, which is not
peasant with all clothing on, es-
peclaliy il you do not know how TO
SWIM. And be careful about handling
your anchors. Don't drop them i'm the
bottom of the boat; YOU NAV knock
out a bottom plank or cause a leak.
When fishing in swift water, two an.
chors, one from the bow and one
astern, are advisable. Don't throw
them overheard, but allow the rope
10 run out gently until the anchor
IS on bottom. In case of an accident.
or IL Tor any reason a quick getaway
Is necessary, strong knife to cut
the anchor ropes is a good thing to
nave aboard. A careful angler never
stands up In the boat.
In casting don't be A sideswiper.
Cast overland and take the precau.
tion against injuring those who NAV
be I'm the boat with YOU.
Much has been written on the how.

VIII assure absolute angling success.
Two things, however, are vitaIly inn.
portant il you are TO become s1,c.

to have presence of mind, the other

ing q fair mea sure of skill
Never cast with the click on--it is
not for that purpose. The click is

When trolling, also for keeping line
from playing when rod and reel arc
not in use.
Your reel is most important fac.
tor to casting success. Give it an
occasional gcleaning, and oil after every
hshing trip. Clean it off with an oiled
cloth.
How-long your line will last depends
upon the care YOU give it. A line
should be strung out and carefully
dried In the shade after each fishing
trip. Never allow your line to dry on
the reel. 1t is also well to reverse
your line OCCASIONALLY, thus evening

Every tackle box should include a
fair variety of types and colors of
bats and lures to meet conditions.

 There isn't much boasting about the chances of an eastern crew talk ing tho varsity championship away from the far west, but because of its great record the Navy is held up as q hope for the principal reason that navy crews are also powerful and full of rowing.
 The two races this year will at- tract more than the average interest. In sections removed from the east coast Yale Harvard races do not mean much to those who have no Yale-Harvard connections. but the race this year. with the prospect of a Harvard victory, will attract the attention of those who like to see champions smacked.

New York, June IT (UP)-Among the flops of the great, which have furnished many early surprises of the young outdoor sport season. the two most pronounced downfalls hap rened on the water.
 /! For five years since Ed. Leader ca me from Washington to take Yale srowing out of the hands of the old sgrads and run it to his own liking, Yale has become almost invincible. Until few weeks ago Leaders Yale varsity crews hadn't lost race.
 The same condition prevailed on the west coast. where Washington ruled during the same period as n rowing institution with a system and the man power that couldn't be beat en. Washington and Yale were ad- mitted to be rulers of the water. but the eastern and western champions never met. as Yale prefers a four mile race with Harvard 70 the inter- collegiate mpionship regatta at Washington.
 While 1t might have been argued that Yale was no better in 1924 than Washington, Yale got the assignment to wear the American shield in the Paris Olympic races and won the championship from some of the best crews in the world.
 It was more than . shock then when a Princeton crew that was hardly regarded as much after losing to Massachusetts Tech gave the mighty Yale varsity beating on the Princeton home waters. It was just as much surprise :n the east when California gave Washington a fine licking in the coast champion ship race. It may not have been q surprise in California put the east was betting on Washington simply because 1t was a Washington crew.
 Yale rowing men explained the up- set by Princeton as being the result of long distance crew in a short race on dead water. but Harvard men are running around quietly grabbing all the money offered that Yale will win the annual race this year.
 Money Is also being offered that Washington will be beaten in the Poughkeepsie varsity race, but hunch prevails that the results of the intercollegiate track and field cham
