Ruppert's Contest
George Rupert, n OF the own
ers of the New York Yankees
who is sponsoring the largest fish
ing contest on the Atlantic coast
this year, announced yesterday
that the first entry in the prize
seeking list was a woman. Mrs.
William H. Mohr, of Bethlehem
Pa, who landed a 70-pound sail
fish at Palm Beach. .
Rupert pointed out that pro-
fessional captains of privately
owned boats are eligible for prizes
they catch themselves but not fol-
captains prizes IN fish caught by
passengers on the boats on which
they are serving. He also stated
that a fish caught at the bottom
is eligible for a prize if landed
with a rod and reel. Hand lines
are out.
The contest was limited to salt
water fishing this year to keep 1t
from becoming unwieldy. Next year
Rupert may add a fresh water
fish contest. But it's not a prom
Use, he says.
All Sports Leaders
Because Duke and Carolina in
variably lead the Southern confer
ence football picture, criticism has
been directed at the two institu-
lions claiming that they are
nothing but football schools"
But a glance at their records in
other sports is enough proof to
dispute this contention. The two
are now running hand in hand at the
top of the basketball heap, having
lost but three loop cams between
them. Carolina is almost certain
to retain its conference track cham
pionship and also the boxing title
and Duke is sure of keeping its
golfing crown. Carolina is still on
top in tennis.
And that leaves but a few minol
sports in which the two schools
are not tops. The records speak
we'll of the general %all-around
sports program at the two schools.
