Eastman Aims Qualify Meter Beth S. Olympic
81 ROD AND STREAM
sSs=b By Perry zMI4ER5NES@

Harvey Jones, not to be outdone, :.
hooked and landed q beautiful little
sailfish. measuring feet II inches,
but weighing only IS pounds. It was
returned to the water.
Of ALL the thousands Of fisher
- men using Cuttyhunk lines. very
few know why this particular kind
of fishing line is so named. Guilty.
hunk line is always linen line and
always twisted, not braided. But this
is not the reason why the line is
called "Cuttyhunk."
The Cuttyhunk line came into use
more than 100 years ago. It was
made first by Capt. Lester Crandall
Of Ashaway, r. l., but not during
his lifetime was 1t known by that
name. In 1924 Crandall had estab-
lshed small line-making business
at the little village Of Ashaway. At
the time he was a commercial fish,
erman, captain Of his own fishing
smack. Dissatisfied with the lines
obtainable in the commercial mar
kets. he made his own in the on
season. And so excellent were his
products that his fame as a line
maker spread far and wide. In a
few years time he abandoned fish,
ing and devoted all his time to line
making. Soon he had devised a
special apparatus for twisting the
lines.
Years later, when the sport Of fish,
ing began to develop, excellent fishing
was found around the Elizabeth
Island at Buzzards Bay. One Of
these islands was named Cuttyhunk,
the corruption of an Indian name
"Poo-cut- hun -kun-noh." In 1865 a
group Of sportsmen organized the
Cuttyhunk Fishing Club, located on
Cuttyhunk Island. These fishermen
adopted rod and reel fishing and de-
veloped surf casting for striped bass.
Their rather small and frail reels
necessitated the use of thin lines in
order to get suf1icient length on
their reels. Cuttyhunk was the an
Swer.

TOUR Washington youths and
- one from Alexandria are being
heavily counted upon to bring
= George Washington its first
national rifle championship since
1928, but though underdogs for the
current national title, the Colonials
expect to be numbered among the
country's eight best college teams-a
distinction they have enjoyed for the
past 13 years.
Stirred by the sensational perform
ance of Dana Wallace, a sophomore
and former Western High student, who
belied his inexperience by knocking
out enough bull's-eyes to finish second
in the recent individual intercollegiate
competition, the team Is proving G. WIS
best since 1881, when the Colonials
were topped only by Navy for national
honors.
Wallace a Great Shot.
WALLACE, termed George Wash
ington's best shot since Bill Barr,
its intercollegiate champion of 1881,
scored $50 out of possible 6O0-just
10 points behind Iowa States cham
pion, John Butterworth. He is re-
garded by his coach, Frank Parsons,
member Of G. WIS last national
championship team, as pretty close to
perfect shot and certain to improve"
Wallace's score of 2s7 out of 300 in the
intercollegiate championships also was
commercially high.
Two other local lads, Tracy Mulligan
and Jack Harlan, also finished among
the first 10 in the national competi-
ton. Like Wallace, Harlan is shoot
ing on the varsity for the first time,
but Mulligan is junior. Bill Wetzel
is the other native Washingtonian on
the squad, while Tom Johnston Of
Alexandria rounds out the local" con-
tingent.
Although they have but split even in
six matches so far this season, one of
the Colonials' defeats came by only
four ponts-in the shoulder-to-
shoulder match against the Army
team at West Point. Conquerors of
Georgetown, v. P. I. and v. M. T.,
Parsons proteges are banking on that
experience at the Point defeat to prove
valuable when they enter the final
college championships at Annapolis on
April IA. Then they will be forced to
fire shoulder-to-shoulder with the best
collegiate riflemen of this section.
Visions a Great Future.
EVEN should they not reach the
heights next month, Parsons is
convinced that before graduating
members of the present team will
bring George Washington its sixth
national championship since 1923.
Himself q member of the team which
won the United States crown three
consecutive years-from 1925 through
1s28-he will prepare his squad for the
test with shoulder-to-shoulder matches
against the University Of Maryland
this Saturday and the Navy Yard
Marines a week hence.

STORY Of q big fish lost,
which would bring tears to
glass eyes, was related by Tom

SIOHY OF Dig ISL lOot,
~ which would bring tears to
~ glass eyes, was related by Tom
n Sandoz, who has just returned
from Miami. Tom and his fishing
companion, Harvey Jones, went fish
ing on March ! from Hollywood, 20
miles above Miami. They fished 3
miles OF the coast on the edge Of the
Gulf Stream. The day was rather
blustery, which, according to Tom, was
just right for sailflsh and marlin.
The anglers were using the fishing
outrig, where the lines are suspended
from poles above the boat, fastened so
that when q fish strikes it will allow
the line to drop back about 20 feet.
Something hit the pound mullet I
was using for bait" said Sandoz, "and
made a run Of 400 yards. The first
time it broke water we discovered 1t
was q big blue marlin. 1t made II
other leaps to free itself from the
hook. at times jumping its entire
length, which I'VE estimated to be 8
feet. Altogether, it made 6s runs.

sounded. going straight down to a
depth of 500 feet. Our captain said
the fish would weigh at least 200
pounds, perhaps more. I fought the
fish for exactly hours and Is minutes
and had it within rs feet Of the boat
when all Of q sudden my line went
slack and another big one got away.
I got all the thrills possible from hook
ing a big fish. It tried everything to
free itself, but it was not until the
hook finally pulled through its mouth
that 1t got away. Our captain said the
hook was too small, being one Of the
size used to land a sailfish, and after
the long battle gradually wore hole
large enough to pull through"
After recovering from his battle.
Sandoz again started to fish and
landed a marlin weighing SIS pounds,
which he said broke water u times.
This fish was returned to the sea, but
Sandoz said he certainly would have
taken to shore the one he lost.

honors in the Forthcoming Olympic

The disSenter is Robert (Dink)
Templeton of Stanford, not because of
any skepticism of the Syracuse stars
ability, but because he believes his ex-
pupil, Blazin' Ben Eastman, will come
racing down the stretch this Summer
a winner in both the 400 and 500
meter Olympic championships.
Up to now it had been assumed
Eastman's comeback. after a years
absence from competition, would be
aimed only at the 800 meters, an
event this country has not won since
Ted Meredith raced to victory at
Stockholm in 1912, and distance for
which Blazin' Ben shares the world
record with Britain's 1882 Olympic
winner, Tom Hampson.
Only One Olympic Double"
ONLY once in Olympic history has
~ a double" been scored in the 400
and 800. Paul Pilgrim, now an officer
of the New York Athletic Club, pulled
the trick in the 1906 games at Athens.
Rarely has it ever been tried, although
Canada'S brilliant Wilson was among
the first three in each race four years
ago.
Eastman will be better than ever"
says Templeton. He will qualify for
both events without difficulty and run
of with. the Olympic championships.
Competition in them is so spaced that
he will have plenty of strength for
the double"
The prospect may be intriguing, but
other coaches think Eastman's best
course is to concentrate on the 800,
particularly as America already IS so
well fortified for the shorter distance.
In 1882 Blazin' Ben set world rec
ord for the quarter mile, but he was
beaten three straight times by Penn
sylvania's Little Bill Carr, who set a
record pace himself and lowered the
world 4OO-meter record in the Olympic
final to 46.2 seconds. Since then
Cars running career has been ended
