FISHING DAYS ARE OVER

For years we have enjoyed your articles. They are always enter taining reading, never leave mor- bid or anxious after effect, and we have derived a lot of good from your teachings. You are the kind of fellow the writer would like to have as companion on fishing rip once in awhile. GA. L. J.)
 Thank you for the invitation. sir, but fishing .. never again. {,
 A few years before the war we stopped along the highway there one afternoon to watch the salmon climbing ladders. That is a won- der I just couldn't believe till I saw it-same as the taking of of a big airplane. One fish which must have weighed fifteen pounds, overshot and Topped out on a p;aG- form above the ladder. In a jiffy some youths waiting there clubbed the fish to death and bore it of (the laws, if any, notwithstanding

A man who took n'7 along was anxious that I shou ! bring home something from my first hunting trip. so he carried a ferret (which was against the law, but quite the cuEtom in that neck of the woods). When he found a likely looking hole he would load his shotgun. stand ten feet away. send the ferret in, and when the rabbit appeared blaze away at the bunny. Yet that man was in all ordinary respects a kind, gentle and most nkeable chap.

SUGAR BOWL LIST
DWINDLES TOT FOUR

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2e|R-
For the first time in its 12-year
history, the Sugar Bowl may look
westward for both Of its New
Years day football choices-speci-
fically to St. Mary's of California
and to Oklahoma A and M.
Each has been secuted by Sugar
Bowl members. Army and Alabama
are the only bowl possibilities rank
ing above them in the Associated
Press weekly poll of outstanding
college teams; and it is quite pos
sible that Army will spurn all Of
fers, and that Alabama will take
it's sixth trip to the Rose Bowl.
Three times the Sugar Bowl has
paired two clubs from east of the
Mississippi, but never have both
contestants come from the west
although four times western
team has met Tulane or Louisi-
ana State university, whose play
ers could get to the sunset side OF
old man river with short walk
and nickel ferry fare.
Louisiana State, incidentally,
might we'll get into the Sugar Bowl
again. The Bayou Tigers, beaten
by Alabama and Mississippi State,
have only $3.50 Tulane team yet
to meet.
An Alabama victory over Miss
issippi State would leave LSU as
the Southeast's second club by
virtue of seven major conquests-
counting Tulane a victim.

DENY ATHLETES
RELEASED FIRST
Bv BUS HAM

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-(P)-
The War Department said today it
doubted if preferential treatment"
is being accorded big-game athletes
for disqualification in the Pacific,
but it added that the matter will be
run down.
The Army newspaper Stars and
Stripes yesterday said editorially
that rehabilitation of baseball,
football and other athletic stays
with low point scores is undermin-
ing morale of service men.
"These men unquestionably are
qualified for getting out under the
proper procedure and no exceptions
are being made, feel sure" an
officer in the personnel section told
reporter.
even athletes can have good
reasons for getting out, and it is
unfortunate that persons Of promi-
ence are seized upon as receiving
preferential treatment.
I'VE have tried very hard to
avoid preferential handling OF
cases, and such criticism as arises
usually is based on incomplete in
formation.
1.-THE principal trouble is that SO
few persons understand the vari-
GUS ways that a man can qualify
for discharge"
The Stars and Stripes said that
since the close of the football sea-
son in Honolulu, instead of taking
their place in the rehabilitation
parade in routine fashion according
to point totals, 81 players are
scheduled to fly home to the states,
some for reassignment and some
for discharge" The AAF Hawaiian
fliers won the championship.
The m ajority of these were not
eligible Tor return home under cur
rent regulations, the paper said.
It also asserted that early in No.
vember 81 Army Air Force base
ball players were flown home af-
ter playing exhibitions in the Cen
trail Pacific.

COACH WADE SEES
GREAT GRID TEAMS

CHARLOTTE. Nov. 20 - P)C
Wallace Wade, whose name became
synonymous with great football
machines when his Alabama and
Duke teams were almost peren-
NAL bowl entries, sees great things
for football in the immediate fu-
ture.
He believes that the nation will
see the best football in history
during the next few seasons as the
armed forces release hundreds Of
thousands Of young men-high
school graduates all the way back
to 1942-toughened by the service
they experienced in World War II.
Said the erstwhile Lieutenant
Colonel of the U. S. Army who has
turned over the actual coaching
Job at Duke to Eddie Cameron:
''For the next few seasons we
should have the best football we've
ever had. Think about all the boys
who will be coming back from
service-all of them at ONCE, or
almost. There will be the high
school graduates Of all the years
from AZ to As and even '46. They'll
be mature and toughened by serv-
ice. They'll build some great
teams.o

Bv GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O-(F)-Al'
though he has played only about
one month of service baseball IN
the past two years and is crowdlng
his 31st birthday, Joe DiMagglo'
greatest of present day players,
expressed confidence today that
he would be able to whip himself
back into top form next spring.
''It might take me little longer
than it used to- admitted the
Yankee star. "After all, I've been
in the army since February OF
1913, and that is a long time to be
away from big league pitching.
But Pm going to get an early start
down south this winter and l think
I'll be ready for the opening
game"
The tall outfielder was guest OF
honor at a press conference at the
Yankee offices, at which it was
announced by President Larry
MacPhail that both DiMaggio and
pitcher Spud Chandler had signed
their 1916 contracts some time
ago." Dimag's salary was not dis
closed, but it was believed to be
either the same $40, 900 he received
before he entered the service or a
very slight increase.
DiMaggio looked thin and fit and
said his stomach, which gave him
considerable trouble early in his
army career, was in prime condi-
ton again. After a trip to San
Francisco to oil the cash register
at his waterfront restaurant, Joe
said he would come back by here
and leave Immediately for st.
Petersburg to begin his Embering-
up program, probably early in Jan.
uary.
He will have something like a
months head start on the bulk OF
the Yankees. MacPhail said the
first squad of trainees under Man
ager Joe Mccarthy would reach
Florida on Feb. 10. The teams
first exhibition is scheduled on or
about March 9.

to learn that the Army and Navy
will meet in a bowl game (oriental
style) here Dec. / with a ricksha

The Army and Navy teams that
will meet in the China BOWL are
not to be confused with those two

But that unhappy segment of
the Army and Navy which per-

NATIONAL WINNING
PR0CRIDIR0N WAR.
BY WALTER BYERS
Tinted Press Shorts Writer

SflOAGO, NOV. Ao-\or"- GAileA
Layden, who once blocked for Jim
Crowley when they were two OF
Notre Danes famed -Four Horse
men," today threw a business
mans block at his former team
mate which really threw Jim and
his all-Amercia football conference.
The National Football league,
with Layden as commissioner, has
started to choke off the threatened
challer &c of the projected ALL
America conference where Crowley
is commissioner. And the Nation
al league is whipping the new
league at it's own game, the sign
ing of big-name players.
The All-America, a war-born cir
cult conceived by Chicago
sports editor, is scheduled to make
it's debut next fall with an eighth
team league. The new conference
originally wanted to cooperate with
the N. F. L., but when Layden
spurned the offer, Crowley promis-
ed knock-down battle for players,
fans and profits in 1916.
With healthy hackers in Miami,
Los Angeles and Baltimore, Crow
ley's plan of attack was merely
to outbid the N. F. L. for top-notch
players, thereby stripping the old
er league of its drawing power.
But Layden has reversed the
field on his old college pal. The
N. F. L., enjoying the most sue
cessful campaign in its 26-year
history, has beaten Crowley to the
checkbook. The National League S
bank roll has been bolstered by
this seasons record-making turn
outs and in the last four show
downs, players have deserted the
All-America conference to join the
N. F, l..
George McAfee, ex-Duke star,
the Chicago Bears great running
back, said three months ago that
I'm not getting any younger and
I probably will sign with the AL
America conference because of the
extra money" But last Saturday,
McAfee returned from service to
join the Bears in the National
league.
Owner John Keeshin of the Chi
cago franchise of the All-America
announced that George Franck,
Minnesota all-American, had sign
ed a contract to play with his 1916
team, but when Franck left the
Marines he promptly resigned
with the New York Giants, N. F. L.
End jim Poole was announced
as the line coach of the Miami All.
America club, but Jim is playing
end with the Chicago Cardinals
of the National League now. Pat
Harder, Wisconsin All-American
fullback, shook off numerous ALL
America conference offers to join
up with the Cardinals today, a last
place team in the National League.
Probably the major factor in the
above cases, in addition to the
money, is that war veterans return
ing to football, want to play in an
established league and not a new
organization which is failing to
hold its players.
