In the past three years Federal

sport so long as they could save the
required number of birds to send

Maryland never has had what
might be termed good deer hunting.
The annual kill never has exceeded
50O but what the Free State lacks
in numbers it makes up in size.
This year three killed weighed
more than 300 pounds each and
that is deer in any country. In
fact, The big deer States often fail
to show in their annual kill any so
large.
The generally accepted good coun-

July l was the last day for anglers
to get previous record fish on the
books of the International Game
Fish Association, which several years
ago gathered the entire game fish
ing world under its wing and
brought order out of chaos.
Now an odd situation has de-
! veloped. for in going over the records
of the Miami Beach Rod and Reel
Club the international association
found records of "a fish heavier than
| those on their list.
So Don Mccarthy has been blow
ing the dust off these old archives
and there probably will be many
new names on the list when it makes
an appearance next spring, for the
club has been meticulous in keeping
the records of catches.

With the countryside at last in good

Upland birds and bunnies in Vir-

counties, January 20 in 40 more and
January 81 in the remaining 20.
Before the migratory bird treaty
-25 years old this month-wild
waterfowl were sold openly on the
streets of coastal cities and towns
because the States set their own
seasons. Some we're so lax that
shooting was permitted during the
nesting season. Nearly all allowed
hunters to take a heavy toll of
northward-bound flights in spring.
1t required nearly IS years and
the full time of many Federal biolo-
gists to realize the need of the
present drastic regulations. Ameri-
cas- waterfowl population, in the
meantime, had fallen to an all
time low of less than 100000
During the past seven years the
increase has been gradual year by
year. Now the Fish and Wildlife
Service estimates the population at
between 70,000,0O0 and 75,O00,000.

Drama Marks Finish
0fRio Grande Valley
Open Tournament
Oklahoma City Ace Wins
In Stretch Fight; Next
Stop Is Beaumont
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HARLINGEN. Tex, Dec. 23.-
Golfdoms nomads started the last
lap of the 1941 trail of gold today
after Henry Picard won the Rio
Grande Valley Open in q stretch
fight packed with drama.
Another $4,000 Open starting at
Beaumont Friday, closes out the
money program for the year.
There's nothing left but cash to
battle for. Wee Ben Hogan already
has clinched the Vardon Trophy
and is the top money winner with
s177OS by virtue of his fifth place
in the Valley Open yesterday
Picard led all the way in winning
the 72-hole tournament with an 18-
under-par 266, but he had to fight
off the fast finish of E. j. Dutch)
Harrison. the Little Rock pro who
fired a bristling 1872 on the final
round for 268 total.
Harrison Makes Great Bid.
In fact. with only seven holes to
60, Harrison had drawn even with
the Oklahoma City star when the
latter's second shot struck the side
of knoll at the edge Of the creek
and bounded across 20 yards away
to lodge beneath small palm.
Picard finally pulled it out with
a great shot, but was short Of the
green. He pitched on and sank his
putt for bogie S, but Harrison
closed in with birdie 8.
They each pared the next hole,
and Picard grabbed back a stroke
when Harrison missed a putt on St.
Harrison sank long birdie putt to
draw even again on the next hole,
but that was his last challenge. He
bogied the 69th, and Picard sank
long putt for birdie.
Picard's par was good on 10 when
Harrison had another bogie, and
school was out. Harrison picked up
stroke on the final hole with a
birdie.
Picards Score Years Lowest.
Picards 266, which won him
$1,000 first-place money, was the
lowest score for the year, but 2
short of the record set by Craig
Wood in 1910 at the Metropolitan
Open in Bloomfield, N. J.
Breezing in with third-place
money was smiling Jimmy Demaret
of Detroit with 269. while Byron
Nelson of Toledo finished fourth
with 271. and Hogan, the Texan,
who now registers from Hershey,
Pa, wound up with 272.
Jack Tinnin. Houston, Tex, in
surance salesman, led the anna
teurs with 289, which was far down
the list of f1niShers.

Army Links
Are Threatened BY
Virginia Road Plan
Proposed Fort BeIvoir
By-poss Would Change
Layout of 18th Hole

A proposed Fort Belvoir bypass
road from Washington to Occoquan
will not materially affect the golf
course Of Army Navy Country Club,
Virginia State highway officials said
today. Highway engineers have
been running survey lines through
part Of the golf course for several
days and club members were appre-
hensive that a considerable part Of
the course would require rearrange-
ment. The club golf course was re-
constructed four years ago.
Only one putting green, probably
the 14th on the regular course, would
have to be shifted, If the proposed
road Is carried through, while q
grade separation underpass Is con-
templated to allow traffic on Army
Navy drive to enter the country club
grounds to meet the proposed new
highway.
No Right Of Way Acquired.
The general location Of the new
highway would be slightly west Of
Army Navy drive in Arlington
County. according to A. H. Bell,
planning engineer of the Virginia
Highway Department.
Drives to be built by the Army In
connection with the new War De-
partment building will end south Of
Arlington Ridge road from where
the plans would take up the work
and continue the road to Occoquan.
The plans are tentative and no right
of way has been acquired, Bell said,
and the entire project may hinge on
whether Federal funds are made
available.
Army Navy Country Club has q
27-hole course. part Of which par
allels Army Navy drive. Highway
engineers said that with the possible
relocation of one green, the road
will have little effect on club prop
erty.
Road Plan Hits Chevy Chase.
Few are aware of it, but the road
plan for Montgomery County, Md,
shows a highway straight through
the golf course of Chevy Chase Club.
The proposed road would run from
the intersection of Bradley lane and
Wisconsin avenue, right through the
course to Chevy Chase Circle.
That would, If the road were cut
through, pretty effectively ruin the
present course. But Chevy Chase
several time has considered NOV
ing the course, and each time has
decided not to, which probably
means the club has information the
proposed road will not materialize
in the near future.

season.
Inexperience, more than anything
else, whipped the Colonials. They
shouldn't have lost. They had a
14-7 lead at the half in a tense but
punchless exhibition that threat
ened to set an all-time low score
for the District. Three turns of the
second hand from victory G. W.
still had a seven-point lead and was
doing all right. Then the light
flashed green for Oklahoma.
Tucker Comes to Rescue.
In less time than it takes to write,
Gerald Tucker, a big, rangy hook
shot center, tossed in three buckets
and Dick Reich added another to
put Oklahoma out in front, 1923
A foul by "Ug" Roberts and another
two-pointer by Bob McPurdy clinch-
ed matters.
1t was a bitter dose for the hard
working Colonials, who kept Tucker
bottled up most of the evening with
an alright defense. They put the
skids under Gerald by playing two
men on him when he got the ball
and by ganging up on his mates
with something vaguely resembling
a zone defense when the Sooners
came too close to the basket. They
fought every inch Of the way, bat
Ting for the ball like a pack OF
hungry pups after a filet mignon,
but in the end old man inexperience
nabbed them.
While the result was dishearten-
ing, Coach Bill Reinhart can find
