The committee is gratihed to belleVe
that by the changes which have been
made, great forward step has been
taken, not only in checking the tendency
toward increasing injuries, but that we
have made the game much safer than
ever before We believe these changes
will not in any material degree affect
the general style of play or the interest
in or fascination of the game.

cal contacts and speed. but We believe
that results will show that 1t has been
possible to accomplish much by modifi-

minimize the injuries, but they are out

Committee.
The committee purposes. however,
to make definite recommendations to
officials and coaches as to what in our
Judgment they can do still further to
reduce injuries, and also send letter
of recommendation to high schools and
unorganized teams as to ways by which
they may eliminate the number OF seri-
GUS injuries by better supervision and
prompt intelligent attention to trivial
or minor injuries"

cast it loops" coming in contact with
the guides. AS a result good line Is
subject to the friction of cross-pull at
the start and retrieving of cast, and
this heavy strain and continuous abuse
of the loop striking the guides will cause
the fbers to break down.
One of the best methods to prevent
line twisting when adding new line
to your reel is to place reel on rod,
thread line through tip and guides. and
fasten to reel. Insert pencil through
hole in line spool and have some one
hold the pencil SO that the line will
run directly off the spool. If no one
is around to hold the spool for you, sit
down, then hold the pencil between
your knees, which will permit the
spool to freely rotate while the line Is
being transferred to your reel. BY OBJ
serving these simple suggestions your
line will be transferred to the reel
without a twist, which will result in
your line giving longer service.

finish and coil up the line, which ruins
it for good casting. BY placing the rod
carefully against tree near the bank
of the water, the line can be let out
enough to allow the gut leader to re-
main in the water. BY so doing it will
prevent the leader from drying in the
sun and cracking upon using again.
Always carry your reserve stock of
leaders in compact leader box. This

condition for casting.

M fishing season only a few
v few weeks away, or to be

few weeks away, or to be
more exact, April /, Rod and
Stream today is giving few hints for
the beginner on the first principles OF
fly casting
FLY casting, many angling authorl-
ties concede, is very simple in its prln-
ciples and is much easier to learn than
bait casting. Its motions, at least, are
exceedingly simple and may be learned
in a few minutes
A practical fishing rod for the novice
is feet in length. 1t should be MADE
of split tamboo and weigh about 5,2
ounces. On the fly rod the reel is seat
ed below the hand grasp or cork grip,
as differentiated from the bait-casting
rod, where the reel is above the hand
grasp. theoretically the reel should
weigh about one and one-haf times
the weight of the rod. Proper balance
of reel, rod and line is important in
casting. Of great importance is the
line. for 1t is the line and not the fly
that is cast.
In fly casting the reel does not turn,
the line is pulled from 1t with the left
hand. The fly or lure at the end of
the line matters virtually nothing, so
far as the casting is concerned. The
line must be heavy enough to develop
the power in the rod. That is. bend
the rod so that in resunling its normal
straightness, the rod may exert pull on
the line, which helps to start it travel
ing into the air behind and above the
caster on the back cast-and out again
over the water in front Of him on the
forward cast.
It is not necessary to use fly and
gut leader for practice. For the sake
of simplication use the line alone.
You may practice on the lawn OF your
yard just as we'll as on the water, or
better still. join the local casting club
of the Washington, D. c., Chapter of
the Izaak Walton League of America,
which meets every Saturday from 2 to 5
o'clock at the Rejecting Pool, at the
foot of Seventeenth street northwest.
EOR assembling the rod, join the
l. middle and tip first. Then match
the butt joint. Be sure that all
guides are in line. If ferrules are hard
fitting, a little oil may be used.
