FISHING
AND
HUNTING
According to
IZAAK WALTON

This year has been a black-baSs
season beyond what even the
most optimistic could have hoped
for and better by far, than this
section has enjoyed for many
years. Three Founders have been
common, with the largest running
to four and even five pounds.
Big bass in any section, but par
ticularly so here, where the warm
summers and slow water are not
what it takes to produce large
ones.
Fine catches have been made all
over the river, from Hunting
Greek on UP; off the seawan,
from Roosevelt Island and in the
Tidal Basin.
It is conceded closing Reaches
Run has helped the river fishing,
but the full advantages OF this
breeding and spawning grounds
are being lost. True, it is a bird
sanctuary, wherein fishing is not
permitted because it would dis
turb the birds, which are already
so tame that they wander over
the highway.
The bass any evening may be
seen breaking over the entire ex.
panse. It is crowded far beyond
its capacity now. so that the bass
themselves, extremely cannabilis-
tic given only half a chance to be
so, will take care Of the oversup'
ply in a thoroughly efficient
manner.
Bass for stocking purposes are
not by any means overplentlful
so why not seine off the surplus
every fall, and it can be done
without harming the breeding
grounds in any way. and plant the
nearby streams and river; to bet
ter care for the run and at the
same time build up our bass popu'
lation to semblance OF what II
used to be.
With the completion of the sew
age disposal plant to prevent pol
luton of the river, it would be
but few years before we would
have a bass river drawing anglers
from all parts of the country.
It was said last fall that all the
creeks and runs down as far as
Hunting Greek were to be kept
flooded with the aid of highwater
dams, such as the one built on
Reaches Run, cleaned up, planted
and stocked. If anything has
been done, it must be on paper,
because there have been no ma
terial signs.
Yet with only a small amount
Of labor from one Of the CCC
camps and very little Of the great
amount Of money that is being
spent, plus the help Of nature her
self for several years, and we
would have something that would
give JOY to fishermen.

ST. John S
Elves Play
ThisWeek

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 6.-With the
Navy and st. Johns each playing
two games this week, the local
basketball season will get into its
swing. The Navy plays Virginia
Military Institute this afternoon
and Penn State on Saturday, both
at Annapolis. On Friday, st.
Johns goes to Swarthmore, and
will entertain Elon College here
Saturday evening.
The Navy team, without a
player who started against the
Army last season, made a good
showing by defeating Baltimore
University on Saturday, 38 to Is,
in the Middies' first game of the
season. The team trailed by
point in the first half and played
really good basketball in the Sec
ond.
Lineup Set
After starting Roy Krogh and
Fred Schneider, veteran of last
years varsity squad, at the for
wards, Coach John Wilson made a.
shift which worked so well that
the combination has every indica-
ton of permanency.
Frank Shamer, the soccer play
er, who was underStudy for Buzz
Berries last year, was shifted from
center to forward, Frank Lynch,
plebe center last season, taking his
place, and Alan Mcfarland, an
other plebe of last year, went to
the other forward. Capt. Carl Eel
lows and Bill Ingram played the
guards until the last two minutes
of the game.
Shamer and Mcfarland look
like the heavy scorers of the Navy
team this year, but each member
of the five as it played the latter
part of the game can be counted
upon to add to the points.
Improved Players
Fellows has acquired consider
able accuracy as a long-range
shooter, and Ingram is a strong
offensive guard.
Lynch is about the tallest lad
who has played center for the
Navy. He is four inches over six
feet and weighs around 210 pounds.
Hemis, a good floor man, fairly
fast on his feet and unusually so
with his hands.
Fellows, Lynch, McFarlond and
Ingram are all from the football
squad, the exception being Shamer,
who was a varsity soccer player.

NAVAL FARLEY
OCLOSE Soon
Weeks Of Deliberation so
Far Have Accom-
plished Nothing

LONDON, Jan. 9. (UP)-Early
breakup of the five-power naval
conference, which has been able
to accomplish nothing in weeks of
deliberations, was forecast last
night.
Agreement on any form of re-
duction or limitation was believed
utterly impossible, and Japanese
insiStence on consideration first of
her demands for parity precluded
all but the smallest chance for
adoption of suggestions by other
participants for publication of
each nations naval building plans
annually.
Such an agreement would IN
nowise limit naval building by
any signatory. Britain first sug-
gested publication o. naval build
ing programs for siX-year periods.
France and Italy. holding thai dis
turbed internationa! conditions
would not permit advance an
nouncement of plans this far In
the future, countered with prOpo-
sitions to publish programs an
nually. -,
japan would consider neither,
and theer the conference stuck.
The United States proposal for
a horizontal 20 per cent cut in
the tonnage of all big navles
probably will occupy the dele
gates attention next
But this, too, already has been
rejected informally by Japan on
grounds that it merely continues
the present ratios at a slightly
lower level.
