TIGHT HIGH SCHOOL
COURT SET LOOMS.
Central Snaps Long Eastern
String, Western Defeats
PIucky Wilson.

= HARPLY contrasting the meager
attendance and one-sided aspect
OF the public high school basket
- ball series during the past three
years, the present court campaign,
inaugurated yesterday at Tech High
gym before 1000 spectators as Central
trimmed Eastern, 28-17, and Western
trounced Wilson, 24-12. promises to be
most successful, from all angles, in
many seasons.
The partial restoration Of the popular
double header system by Birch E.
Bayh, public school sports czar, already
has recaptured spectator interest that
was dwindling. This was demonstrated
effectively by the enthusiastic turn
out for the first twin bill in comparison
with the top crowd Of 420 fans who
represented the maximum throng at
a single game last year.
Probably the most heartening angie
to players, coaches and fans alike, how
ever, is the fact that every school In
the race, not excepting the baby o,
the series, Wilson. looks TO be very
much in the running.
Clark Stars for Central.
CENTRAL injected a bit Of life into
~ the series at this early stage BY
clipping Eastern's streak Of % con-
secutive series victories, which started
after the first game of the 1884 season.
and at least temporarily bringing the
Lincoln Parkers down to the plane oil
other competing quints.
1t was the angular Charley Clark, a
product of last years, lightweight
squad. who surprised the spectators,
his coach, teammates and even himself
by providing the spark and points to
beat the favored Eastern club. Clark
scored IL points, 8 Of them in the fnal
period when Central felt the most OF
them.
Eastern stepped into an 81 lead az
the end of the first quarter, but Billy
Vermillion, Clark, and Ralph Matera
swung the tide to Central, l4-12. at
the half. Central widened the gap to
1914 at the end of the third quarter
and Clark then launched the scoring
spree. which saw him record points
in rapid succession.
From another angle, however. it was
the lanky Sam Fox who played an
important part in Centrals triumph.
Fox limited the high-scoring Clint
Quantrille to ! point and was promi-
nent in Central's passing attack.

THERE'S no getting away from
it, Florida has excellent bass
fishing to offer when it's too
\ cold up here to do anything
but thumb through tackle catalogues
and read sportsmen's magazines. And
at times you can combine a fishing
and hunting expedition in one day.
That's what Paul E. Knowles did.
He went down there during the
Christmas holidays to get away from
the cold which we weren't having
here, and stopped at a place called
Tom Wright's Camp, on Lake Apopka,
which they claim is the second largest
fresh-water lake in Florida and third
in the United States. There you eat,
sleep. hunt. fish and lay around un-
der palm trees.
There, Paul tells us, a guide
with outboard motor boats sets
you back but $3.50 per diem
and big bass fight each other
for a chance at your bait.
That latter may be something Of
an exaggeration, but he did find
angling to be of the best. In half
a day he pulled in 30 pounds of
fighting pickeral and bronzebacks, the
largest Of which was a 5-pounder.
While he was there an 11-pounder
was caught. Five pounds is a good
size for Florida bass, as 1t is every
where else. Occasional specimens
are taken up to 10 pounds. Fish
above that mark are rare, but not en-
tirely unknown.
Pelicans Nab Ducks.
MOST of the natives living around
A'A the lake are canepole fishermen
and have developed it into a high art,
using 1s and 20 foot poles. Knowles,
being from the North. is plug caster.
but had no difficulty In hooking his
share of the big ones. One bait which
worked like o charm, he said, was the
Heddon King, sort of spoonlike lure
with a red feather, to which he added
a piece of frog pork rind. Bass like
it so well they were doing everything
but jump in the boat after it. It's the
big brother to the Ace which we use on
the small bass at Gunston Cove.
Another plug which attracted a
number of big ones was the Creek
Club Darter in the natural frog finish.
After he got tired Of fishing,
he just picked up a shotgun the
guide brought along, ran over to
the edge Of the lake and did .
bit OF duck sh0ting.
He had no trouble in finding any
number Of ducks, but the trouble was
