hard-fought victory from Edenton
in Kenan stadium at Chapel Hill
by a score Of 10 for the title.
In 1887 Wally took over full re-
sponsibility of the gridiron destiny
Of the school, and the following
year produced what old time
coaches called "the greatest high

to say, the highly touted squad
won the state championship from

10 YEARS AGO
I have just finished thumbina
through several issues of the New
Hanover Fishing clubs ANIMALS
1936-1941 and the thing that first
caught the eye was a letter from
the president in the '36 issue.
George Canady, head OF the
club that year, ended his letter:
oceans of Luck to YOU
Drum as this column is wont
to call Canady hit the nail on the
head as he said oceans"
In the 10 years since that Letter
has been written the fishing bust
ness-from a sporting angle-ha:
increased until today we find the
largest fishing club in the country
working with an organization
sponsoring the largest fishing con
test in the nation.
Yes, the ocean is starting tt
pay off.
. The 1887 annual is most inter
esting. 1t brings back to memory
the days when the large blues
ran with F. H. Orrell winning the
'36 prize with a nine pound, ID
and one-half pound specimen.
The 1887 contest resulted in ].
c. Roe taking a five pound, Il
ounce fish in Zone A and Fred
Futch one weighing seven pounds,
10 unces in Zone B.
1 1899 A. A. Keels was presi-
dent. The annual tells of casting
contests in which E. A. Jones was
crowned champion during the 1888
season.
The 1941 annual is most inter-
esting as it was the last published
before the war. H. G. Latimer,
Jr., was president.
In that year the club was striv-
ing to pass the 1000 mark in
membership and had put up cash
and prizes approximating $1,000.
The club has now passed that
mark and is continuing to contri-
butte its share towards promoting
the fishing of North Carolina es-
pecially in the Southeastern area.

Marsh Hen
Season Opens
Tomorro W
BY BILL KEZIAK

SOUTHPORT, Aug. 80 - Row
boats, for use tomorrow when the
Marsh Hen hunting season opens
up, were running short Thursday
when local sportsmen tried to
round up a lot Of extra ones for
sportsmen calling from Charlotte.
Greensboro. Raleigh and a lot OF
lesser points.
Reservations had already Seen
made in such large numbers that
it proved difficult, both to find
boats and experienced men to
pole them for the hunters.
From Game Warden H. T. Bow
mer and his agents, handling IL
censes. there also comes reports
Of a big rush for the hunting per-
mits. Marsh Hen hunters must
have licenses and on top Of that
a duck stamp. Another essential
is a rowboat and some one to pole
it through the marshes. Licenses,
boats, boatmen are all about as
useful as a bird dog at the end
Of the bird hunting season unless
there is a high tide.
The season opens tomorrow at
noon and hunters r being warn
ed not to 60 out before that time.
There is a reasonable expectancy
OF a full moon high tide Monday
morning and again very late in
the evening. However, the evening
| high tide will not be along until
it is about too dark to shoot. TAX
Jig everything as it is, the hunt
ers say that they hardly expect
to get in any shooting until Tues
day morning. Then only if the tide
is high. The high tides, they think,
may last several days but this
depends largely on the direction
Of the winds. A north east Or east
wind at the regular twice daily
high tides will bring on good
marsh hen hunting.
Hunters are limited to Is birds
per day. That means 80 or IS to
the boat. The man doing the
polling Of the boat is allowed Is
the same as the one doing the
shooting. Mostly they put two men
with guns in the boat with the
man polling and this will allow
for As birds.
Marsh hens are unable to swim.
The high tide forces them from
the ground into clumps Of grass
and they remain at such places
until they are frightened up.
They usually rise only a few feet
| ahead Of the boat and they pre-
sent q slow and easy target. 1t

Schroeder, if he could get into

California has been unlike any

dustry was cattle, derived from
herds driven from Mexico by Viceroy
Galvez in 1859 for the Mission estab-
lishments. Crops we're planted, but
there was the annual gamble with
drouth. Since 1885, Californla's
farms have grown smaller in size,
and irrigation has become wide
