played through the past football
season while ineligible met with a
firm denial today by Wisconsin Of

It was charged that Pacetti was
ineligible under western confer

out of school last winter after the
first semester, during which he
had played football.
DR.. Clarence Spears, head foot
ball coach, declared that Pacetti
had withdrawn due to illness only
after completing his first semester
examinations. The Wisconsin fac

adopted a resolution to bar ra-

Bonus contracts probably will

IlC GACNutINC oOoAN Va AOoAe
Water Anglers of America has ap.
proved tackle specifications and
the rules for competitive angling
after exhaustive study.
The board will submit it's speci-
ficationS and rules to the various
salt water fishing organizations
of the country for approval.
However, the acceptance of the
specifications and rules is op-
tional with individual clubs or
anglers, the national organization
wishing to eliminate the confu-
sion now existing in national
competition.
Here's the rules and specifica-
tionS:
Strict adherence to both the
spirit and letter of these rules is
necessary to place our game fish
ing on high standard. In fair
ness to all, involuntary lnfraction
of these rules can no more be con-
doned than can willful violations.
Anglers should be sure that they
understand these rules and that
their tackle complies with the
specifications in every particular.
The underlying spirit of angling
should be that it is a sport in
which the skill of the angler is
pitted against the instinct and
strength of the fish and that the
latter is entitled to an even chance
for his life.
Tackle shall be defined as con-
siSting of rod, reel, line, leader,
hooks and harness.
Leaders shall in no instance ex-
ceed is feet in length. Double
line, not to exceed Is feet, may
be attached to leader.
Length of rod overall is meant
with tip fully seated in butt.
Length of tip is meant from
shoulder of ferrule to outer end
of tip.
Every angler must bring his fish
to gaff unaided and by use of
regulation tackle only.
The following acts or ommis-
sions will disqualify a fish: A
broken rod; hand-lining a fish;
any person, other than the angler,
touching any part of the tackle,
excepting kite-line or outrigger
line and leader, from the time
bait is put in the water until wire
leader is within hand reach of
the boatman; hand-lining the
double line or use of boatman's
hand-line snapped on or in any
way attached to the double line
or leader; failure to have rod
weighed, measured and attested;
failure to comply with tackle
specifications: shooting a fish;
throwing gaff at fish before
leader is within hand reach of
boatman; use of harpoon, lance
or lilly iron; any one other than
the angler and one gaffer, assist
ing in gaffing or killing a fish;
use of gaff exceeding 8 feet over.
all in length; use of gang hooks
or more than 2 single hooks; no
other method of hooking a fish
than by bait or lure voluntarily
taken by the fish; no mutilated
fish shall be eligible in competi-
ton.
All fish entered for competition
must be weighed in on certified
scales and weights must be at
tested by the weigher and at least
two disinterested persons. Tackle
must be exhibited when fish is
weighed in. If the fish appears
to qualify for record a notariza-
ton of the claim is desirable.

against the wild man even in

plate at night. Bud has injured
several of them in day time.
Still, the Reds, Cubs, Cardinals,
Braves and Phillies agreed to try
it next year and the Giants,
