reached Sunday night when Cpl.
Joseph Lszar Of the 400th School
Squadron came up with the largest
gar caught in the second round
which terminated yesterday.
Weighing so pounds and mes-
suring SIS inches. the huge gar was
weighed in Monday morning by

OF The contest, who today pro-
claimed Corp. Lazar the winner,

The third round, which begins
today, should bring out even more
fishermen into the contest. Be-
cause OF the many fish being
caught OF which no record has

is being given the "gar rodeo" by
