Small Trout Intrigue
Famous Angler for
Big Game Fish
Townsend Finds Little
Fellows Afford More
Sport Than Marlin

Washington's No. / big game
angler, the man who pioneered the
Ocean City marlin fisheries, and
who, according to Kip harrington,
noted angling author, hits a fish
harder than any man I know"
would rather catch l0-inch brook
trout than any mammoth battler
OF the sea.
Paul Townsend, 225 pounds Of
he-man, who has caught blue mar
lin weighing hundreds of pounds;
blue-fln tuna which weigh and pull
like draft horses, and take stamina
and skill to subdue them after
hours of fighting, gets more kick
out OF Turing tiny trout to the
hook with tiny feather lure, and
licking the trout on wisp of bam-
boo than he gets out of tanning the
mighty warriors of the ocean lanes.
May Fish in Panama Waters.
Il get more thrill out of fooling
brook trout and playing him to
standstill on ultralight tackle than
in licking a big marlin" says Paul.
Townsend owns and operates his
own 50-foot boat, the Jacpau I'd.
which he plans to take to Florida
again for the opening of the marlin
season. He may ship the craft to
Panama in the chase after some
of the giant Pacific sailflsh and
black marlin. Sailfish in the waters
of Panama run to great propor-
tions They have been caught
weighing l80 pounds. The Atlantic
Ocean record is around LOG pounds.
Black marlin weighing 500 pounds
and up have been caught of
Panama.
Dolphin Afford Good Sport.
Townsend recently returned from
trip to Cape Hatteras with Stanley
Harris, manager of the Washington
baseball team 1--WE had more fun
with small dolphin than I've had
with marlin" he said. They are
hot stuff on really light tackle"
Washington's top angler has q
private trout preserve in nearby
Maryland, where he goes in the
spring to wade the streams and
toss dry flies under the noses of the
elusive trout which he'd rather
catch than the mighty marlin of the
Gulf Stream.

BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Red" Mackechnie, coach of the
Washington Eagles, breathed Sigh
of deep relief. Lines etched In the
face of the veteran hockey coach
told story of little rest, a flock Of
hard games packed into few days
and the endless effort to turn
bunch of youngsters, few Of whom
have played together before, into
well-rounded hockey team. Yeah,
we looked fairly good out there last
night, but not good enough" he said.
Nov We'll have a few days of rest
and a chance to mold our team
work. We've had little of that since
we came to Washington. But the
boys are doing all right. When you
haven't had much chance to prac-
tice and you hold team like those
Canadians down to a three-goal
licking it's not too bad"
Not since the opening of the
Eastern Amateur League season in
Washington on November 81 have
the Eagles had as much as two full
days of rest. Now, following their
game last night against the veteran
Canadians from Akron, Ohio, they'll
have three days to practice and re-
cover from the bruising, tough
contest they lost in the tough

season at Riverside Stadium by a

game at their home rink against

Ten Penalties Imposed.
Recovering from bruises and in
juries received in last nights hard
fought battle are Len Burrage,
stalwart right defense of the Eagles,
and diminutive Bill Lahti, badly
knocked around. All the Washing
ton player took licking against a
heavier, more experienced team in
the most bruising hockey game in
Washington this year, as 1851 loyal
fans cheered the game stand of the
Eagles. Ten penalties were invoked
by Referee Chadwick, six against
the Canadians and four against the
Eagles, as the boys mixed it up in
slam-bang fashion.
One of them-in the final period
gave the visitors a free shot when
Mike Germann of the Eagles inter-
fered with Draper of the Canadians
in scoring territory. The latter
scored.
Big Bill Davies scored the lone
Washington counter on rebound
from the wall in 3:25 of the second
period, after Kuntz and Covert had
carried the puck down the ice.
Canadian scoring was done by
1mlach and Inglis in the first period,
and by Draper and Inglis in the
third period.
Umpire Knocked Over Wall.
So rough was the game that
Umpire La Bate was knocked over
the wall in mixup. for which King
of the Canadians was sent to the
penalty box for molesting an official
Twice during the second period the
Canadians had only four men on
the ice. The other two were cool

1t was during one of these enforced
penalty periods that the Eagles
scored their lone counter.
