BY LEON SHLOsS

NO aCnleCe IS perfect IN every
branch Of a sport. A baseball
player may be great hitter but
an erratic fielder. A football
hafback may be a wizard at
tossing passes but a waShout at
catching them. And so on.
Practiced Passing
I have been told I can pass a
basketball well. I think I can,
too. I think I know why. It's
because I always get a greater
kick out Of throwing a good pass
than I do out Of sinking a
difficult shot in the basket. I
always have felt that way and
as a consequence I have devoted
an inordinately large share of
my court career to passing and
practicing passing.
Passing is not hard to master
If you are willing to practice.
Some Of the greatest passers I
have handled were country lads
who came into the university
with big muscles and complete
ignorance Of how to pass any.
thing except potatoes.
Now here is how to become a
master at passing a basketball.
Get a basketball and pass it!
Sounds easy, doesn't it? It's just
as easy as it sounds. Pass that
ball at everything in sight. If
you have no one to practice with,
chuck it at the gym window, at
the mats hung around the gym
walls, practice knocking the In.
dian clubs out Of their racks,
throw it up and catch it behind
you when it comes down. Roll it
along the floor, then race after
it. pick it up and without turning,
whip it back over your deter
mined target.
Easiest Method
If your passes reach the target,
I don't care if you're a one.armed
man with palsy and throw your
passes from a rocking chair while
smoking a pipe. If your tosses
are consistently successful, you're
passing right" On the other
hcnd, while you may be passing
with the grace Of an antelope, if
the shots are not finding their
mark, you might as well be some
where else.
The simplest and most common
pass, of course, is that from the
chest. The ball is graSped in both
hands, as when shooting pot shots,
and propelled away from the
chest. This pass is best used to
cover distances Of from five to 20
feet when you have plenty Of time
and no one stands in the way of
your attempt. A variation of the
chest pass is the bounce pass,
thrown in the same fashion, but
bounced on the floor. This pass
is often used as a change of pace
when someone is going to try tc
intercept the toss. There is obvi.
ouSly no sense in bouncing a pass
if the way is clear.

MANY Lle W1SeCrdCK ana look
Of unbelief on the faces Of anglers
going there to fish for the first
time, when told about it.
The fun in this fish is all in
the name, for when you get him
on the end of a line his fighting
tactics and rushes easily put him
well up in the front of Class Al
fighters.
With the first sting of the hook
he is off on one of his mad
rushes, and good, indeed, is the
angler that can stop him short
Of six or seven hundred yards.
This habit Of hitting and running
at such great speed is the down
fall of more than one fisherman,
who one minute is doing in the
warmth of the sun, waiting for a
strike and the next madly scram-
bling to save his fishing tackle.
At this point he generally does
the wrong thing. Either too
much Of a surge on the rod or
too heavy thumbing on the reel
spool. Both are fatal. The line
snaps and Mr.. Wahoo is gone.
Granting vol. are able to get
by the critical place and grad
ually slow him down he is more
than sure to turn about face
and head for the boat at full
speed, maybe to see what it is
all about. And he is never
caught until boated. It is sell
dom that he jumps clear Of the
surface although it is not un-
known for his to do so, seemingly
content to stay and fight it out
in his own element.
The wahoo is of the mackerel
tribe with all Of their character
iSticS plus quite a few Of his
own as added attractions. Per
sonally We think he is second
only to the tuna for speed and
stamina taking them on
pound for pound basis.
The general weight of those
taken around Miami waters runs
between 20 and 80 pounds, with
the record slightly over 10. Many
larger ones ESTIMATED as high as
125 pounds) have been hooked but
they are never landed. They al
ways break the line on that grand
first dash for freedom.
Jesse Loeb, who has been va
cationing at Key Largo Fishing
Camp, some 40 miles below
Miami, returned with fish tales
hard to believe unless you have
fiShed this section.
Emil Hurja, Democratic ma
tional committee member, and
Mrs. Hurja have been spending
some time at the same camp.
Mr.. Hurja, though recuperating
from an illness, tried the fishing
from the clubs fishing cruiser
Largo. He caught six groupers
averaging 20 pounds and a large
barracuda. Swell pastime, he
says, for a convelescent.
Harold Vermeule, Mrs. Yer
meule and their daughter have
been spending the past two weeks
at Miami and are now back at
their home in Cottage City, with
a healthy respect for the brand of
fishing Miami has to offer.
Mr.. j. Edgar Hoover, head
of Investigation in the Depart
ment of Justice, expects to try
Gulf Stream fishing next month.
The size of the sailfish en-
tered in the gold button contest
las been gradually mounting un-
til now it is almost 80 pounds,
so the best we can wish for you
is that you get the button on
your first trip. You know the
old story about beginners luck.

hogged the oil spotlight in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley oil area

Eidalgo county recorded two COM
pletions, extended production 600
feet northwest, edged over into
Starr county and anticipated COM

one new producer and several new
wildcat operations.
Hidalgo, Willacy and Cameron
counties all appeared in the wildcat
picture in the Valley during the
week, each having one or more
wildcats drilling. or otherwise at
tracing attention.
Interest In Hidalgo county was
somewhat divided between the
Union Sulphur dempany's deep Mer-
cedes pool and the company's at

drilling on edge wells at Samfor-

yielded nothing but salt water
under formation pressure. The hole
was plugged back to about 1900
feet and reperforated, where COM
