White River Truant Gets on Bass
Spinner.
When Bert Gooch, 812 East Sixty
third street, reclines in ages easy
chair and tells his grandchildren of
his fishing prowess, he'll always
start off with "Once upon time, in
1929, cauaght an alligator in White
river near Broad Ripple"
For Tuesday Gooch, while gay
eating for frying-pan gills, got so
good his bass spinner got tangled up
with an aligator's adenoids. With
the help of neighboring fishermen
he landed the jawing one.
But it was a Fabian victory for
the problematical fish-hash, mu-
scum, and for Gooch. For it was
found that Sir Alligator had left his
own alley in the zoo at Broad Rip
pie park to get little belated sun
tan in White river.
