OUTDOORS

IN CAMP, Saranac Lake, N. Y
1t is raining this morning. the
first rainfall since we made camp
last Saturday, and it is indeed
welcome. The weather turned
real hot the first of the week and
the woods have been so dry that
the Conservation Commission has
been threatening to close them
to campers until such time as
they become safe against forest
fires.
Rain in camp is blessing in
many respects. We've been 60
ing over our tackle, Tightening up
and greasing our outboard mo-
tors and generally shaking down
after the first few hectic days
when all we did was eat, sleep
and mostly fish. Feels sort of
good just to relax and enjoy the
cool breeze and take life easy.
The hot weather and warm
top water has kept the bass down
deep in the thermocline and
we've had to change our tactics
in order to catch any but the
little fellows. Yesterday afternoon
we switched over to streamer
flies on 12-foot leaders with a
split shot added to make them
sink. and keeping our boats well
off shore fished them deep. This
change In tactics paid off in i'm
mediate dividends, and although
it is slow work, we caught more
bass than at any time since we
hit the lake, and bigger fish. Still
nothing to brag about on the
size, a 21a-pounder caught by your
scribe on Mickey Fin streamer
being top fish so far.
But while we still haven't found
out where the bigger fish lie, our
average size has jumped at least
a half pound, and just this much
added weight makes a whale of a
difference in the fighting tactics
of these lake smallmouths. They
come up under the streamers and
take them with a rush, and the
battling is mostly deep. How
these scrappers manage to put
up such a fight is always a mys-
terry to us, but we're ALWAYS CRATE

Outboords to Try
Run of PeriIous
klamath RAPIDS
By the Associated Press

YREKA, Calf. July 8. Six
daredevils today will attempt
an impossible" 176-mile out
board motorboat race down the
hazardous Klamath River.
No boat ever has made the
two-day trip down the winding,
rapids-fil gorge of the
klamath from here to the
ocean. Most boatmen say 1t
can't be done.
A pilot boat attempted the
journey a few weeks ago. 1t
made so miles, then hit a
whirlpool and capsized. It's oc-
cupants were tossed out and
carried eight miles downstream
before reaching shore.
The contestants in to9ay's
race are allowed two men in a
boat-if they wish-plus a third
man on shore to assist in
fordage.
The racers will be allowed an
eighth of a mile fordage around
the dangerous Ishi Pishi and
Ike Falls. The river drops about
ITS feet in a short distance
near the Ishi Pishi.
But whirlpools are the chief
danger to the racers. No one
knows the number of whirl-
pools which infest the Kla-
math.
The boats will be numbered
on top. A plane will follow
their progress and report re-
suits over a Eureka radio sta
ton.
There are three prizes-$1.-
900, $500 and 5000. But wheth-
er any of the contestants will
be around at the end tomorrow
to claim the prizes is doubtful.
Current odds are 10 to / against
any one finishing-with no
takers.
Each of the racers must wear
a crash helmet and life jacket.

full and get q big kick out of Civ
ing them their liberty at the end
of the scrap.
We keep very few fish except
the yellow perch, and when we
feel in the need of a fish course
for dinner, usually make it up
from perch. They're the same
yellow neds," or rather same
species as those caught at Aliens
Fresh and other brackisn streams
near home, and taste Just as good.
However, up here many of them
grow to two pounds or more in
weight. They are suckers for the
little rubber-legged bugs and
small flies hshed on light leaders.
So far, we've caught only one
pike, and that a small one. We
did have one lunker cut a stream
er off our leader on the first lurge
the other day. However, we plan
a trip to the middle lake tomor-
row especially for pike, and have
been getting our tackle together
for that purpose. Nylon leaders
are just no good at all for these
brutes, and our fly rods will be
laid aside for casting and trolling
tackle, with wire leaders between
our lines and bats.
Had a nice visit from Dick En-
peror, the game protector who has
charge of the area in which we
are camping. We see him fire.
quently when out fishing, as he is
constantly on the job patrolling
the lake and the nearby forests
and camps. 1t is the constant and
unremitting effort of men like him
which keeps the area an outdoor
paradise. Except for the restraint
the very presence of these game
protectors exercises on the public,
the woods would soon be strewn
with trash and tin cans, and
quickly degenerate to the level of
the common picnic ground which
is all too familiar to most of u.s.
Lying in bed this morning we
watched a pair of cedar waxwings
feeding not 10 feet away. and al
most wish we were one with them.
Hate to think of returning to our
job. There is nothing in any city
that can compare with the life
we lead here, and we only wish
all of our friends could enjoy it
with us.

without any trouble at all, and also
without their most versatile per-
former, Bill Adams, sidelined by an

In addition to retaining the title,
Carolina set two new conference rec
ords when Sam Magin ran two miles

the discus 1856 feet, 6A inches.
Magill's win brought him the Rob-
