Our anticipation of real sport
with the yellow perch at Aliens
Fresh seems to have been somewhat
premature. The minute the ice
moved out, the commercial fisher
men moved in and have set their
nets across the entrance to the
Fresh so as to screen out practically
all the perch moving in with the
tides. We are told the netters have
moved up to within one-half mile of
the bridge, although the law spe-
cifically limits them to 3 miles from
the bridge.
We, with others. have protested
this violation of the law which is
spelling sport fishing completely In
this area and you, too, should at
once enter your protest with Mary
lands Bureau of Tidewater Fisheries
at Solomons, Md. If this illegal
practice by commercial fishermen is
not stopped, we might just as well
kiss this fine fishing spot goodby.
There is no use fishing it under
present circumstances.
The same thing is happening to a
greater extent with the striped bass
in the lower Potomac. Commercial
fishermen in the Morgantown
Bridge area moved in right after
the ice went out and are taking
literally tons of rockflsh in the
seines and nets of various sorts,
hauling the fish away in truck loads
daily. From the angle of the sport
fisherman, it is far from pleasant
picture.

Hosts Nab Five Events
For Decisive Edge;
Tar Heels Third

Scoring FIVE firsts, the University
of Maryland's track team won the
Terps' first annual indoor meet last
night before a meager but restricted
gathering of 400 fans at the Univer-
sity armory..
Maryland's 31-point total gave it
comfortable margin over the Sec
ond-place Navy team with 81 points.
The next three places were hotly
contested. North Carolina was third
with 16 points, Duke next with 13.
and Virginia Tech scored IL. Vir-
ginia had three, VMI, North Caro-
lima State and Georgetown, one
each, while Catholic U. failed to
register.
The winners set up respectable
marks for future contestants to shoot
at and in several instances gave
them small targets. Dukes mile re-
lay team of Herb Rowe, Bill Scupine,
Brandon Davis and Roger Neighbor-
gall went the 10-lap distance in
1883, which was good in view of
the fact that the runners did not
use spikes and the track was not
banked
Bob Palmers solo mile was even
better. The undefeated Maryland
freshman, who climaxed a brilliant
country campaign by setting
new conference record, went the dis
tance in 4:25.5. He was home by
10-yard margin over George Troxell
of Virginia and had full command
of the situation from the seventh
lap on.
Sam Magill, North Carolina vet
eran, gave the Tar Heels something
to cheer about when he Tapped his
field and breezed home in 9:48.4 to
capture the 2-mile run.
Closest race of the evening, how
ever, came in the 880-yard run as
Frank Raab of Navy nosed out

Haas Holds 1-Stroke
New Orleans Lead;
Two PenaIized
BY the Assoeiuied Press

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 21.-Front-
running Fred Haas, jr., slowed his
pace somewhat today but still held
a lead of two strokes at the end
of 54 holes in the $4,000 New Or
leans Open golf tournament.
The tourney, marred yesterday by
a dispute over the growing Of Fred
dies club faces, had no recurrence
of that theme today. However
penalties were announced against
two leading players for infractions
Iof PGA rules.
Haas, playing his home course at
Metairie Country Club, shot 36-37-
73 after taking 81 on each of the
first two rounds. Par is II.
His three-quarter mark of 207 was
two strokes better than the second
place 209 of Dick Metz, handsome
|sWinger from Arkansas City, Kans.
Metz added 34-35-69 to his previ-
Gus 140.
Haas had lead of five strokes
yesterday at the end of the second
round.
Jimmy Demaret and Ed Furgol
were the players penalized today by
George Schneiter, PGA vice presi-
dent and tournament committee
chairman.
Schneiter said Demaret, winner
of the Vardon Trophy last year for
low average scoring in tournament
play, was ineligible to keep the cup
for 1948 because he walked off the
course yesterday at the eighth hole.
FurgoPs Anger Is Costly.
Scnneiter explained that PGA
rules require a player to complete
all rounds begun to be eligible for
the trophy. Demaret, a Texan play
ing out of Ojai, Calf, had an
average of $3.50 strokes per 18 holes
in last years Journeys.
He also was leading money win
ner and Masters champion.
Furgol, of Pontiac. Mich, suffered
deduction of 10 points from his
Ryder Cup score. Schneiter said
Furgol was guilty of "ungentle-
manly" conduct by Intentionally
digging dovits and otherwise beat
ing the course" in anger over some
poor shots yesterday.
Furgol had 48 toward membership
on the Cup team which plays
British pros in biennial competi-
tion. Schneiter said that placed
him among the first 10 aspirants
for, the 10-man squad.
However, the PGA official said.
conduct as well as ability will be
considered in choosing the team" ="
The argument over Haas club
faces yesterday was begun by Bobby
Locke of South Africa, who COM
planned the grooves were deeper
than the rules allowed This was
supposed to give added control over
the ball by increasing the back
spin. r. % ~
Haas filed four of his clubs to
meet the protest before starting the
second round. sa5l1 *,
Argentine Golfer Third.
In third place behind Metz was
Roberto de Vincenzo of Buenos
