CAL CATCHES

plant Of Being
Law Vioiator

SUPERIOR, Wis, July 27.-tPl-
President Colleges success as an
angler and Wisconsin game regula-
tons fixing a maximum trout catch
per day. appeared to have become
entangled when reports came today
from the summer White House that
the chief executive, in a long fishing
day last Wednesday, had made a haul
Of 26 trout and thereby had exceeded
by one the maximum allowed.
On that day Mr.. Coolidge started
out on the Brule early in the norm
ing, and with only a brief interrupt
ton for luncheon remained fishing
until past 8 o'clock in the evening.
The trout were plentiful and he made
the most OF his opportunities, keep
ing John Larock. his Indian guide.
busy netting his catches. He caught
four black spotted. eight rainbow,
three lochleven and eleven brook
trout. Tn addition Larock threw back
into the stream eight fish which did
not comply with other game regula-
tons prohibiting the catching Of
trout less than seven inches in
length.
Larock's presence in the canoe with
Mr.. Coolidge probably will prevent
the latter's reported performance
from being interpreted as a violation
Of the game regulations. Should the
Chippewa guide be counted in as a
member Of the fishing party, then the
maximum catch allowed would be so
for the day.
Mr.. Coolidge's large catch and ap-
parent violation Of the game regula-
lions was explained by anglers here
by saying that game regulations
varied in ell states and that unless
specifically warned all fishermen new
to the Brule were liable TO exceed
them on their first good day. Fur
Their. they pointed out that the Brule
and its lakes were plentiful in trout.
