There are no fish in the gym
nasium floor at Woodrow Wilson
High School. But every morning
before school starts, you'll find
group of boys there practicing
fishing.
They are members of the Will
son Casting Club, a new activity
that has become popular almost
overnight. Boys at other schools
want one as soon as they hear
about it.
What they do is play at the
game of skish combination of
skeet and fish,. Using regular bass
fishing tackle and a practice
plug with no hooks, they cast at
various three-foot targets scat
tered over the gym floor. AS any
fisherman will tell you, it is fairly
hard to hit such targets at dis
tances of 40 to 80 feet. But with
a bit of instruction about proper
grip. form, backswing and so forth
from Cliff Netherton, the schools
baseball coach, they become very
good at it.
The club was started quite by
accident. Netherton, who has been
a fisherman since he was a kid
living near the backwaters of the
Illinois River, started coming to
school early to practice casting in
the gym. Before long, the boys
were gathering around to ask,
What gives, coach?" Then they
all wanted to play too and shortly
before Christmas the club was
organized.
Now they have a charter from
the Associated Skish Clubs and
the club officially is recognized as
part of the schools intramural
and recreational program. Every
body is having a wonderful time.
It's lot of fun, it's fine exer-
else, it provides plenty of COM
petition and best of all it gives a
touch of fishing indoors when
there is none outdoors. The boys
love it. They find it improves
their fishing nightly because an
angler who can cast without back
lashes and who can hit the right
spots will catch more fish than
one who just throws out anywhere
and trusts to luck. Even those
boys at Wilson who aren't fisher

1Landon Five Loses

Hairline decisions and a pro-
digious individual scoring per-

high school basketball games.
The toughest decision went
against Landon School, which
lost 40-38 verdict to Boys Latin
of Baltimore when Glen Jones
sank long set shot for the win
ming points with only seconds to
play. 1t was Landon's first loss
on its home court and dropped it
to second place behind the unde-
feated Baltimoreans in the Inter-
state Athletic Conference.
Luckett's field goal with less
than a minute to play gave Mont
gomery Blair a 45-43 victory over
Central. In another nip and tuck
duel Roosevelt came from behind,
after trailing 20-18 at the half, to
edge Episcopal, 38 to SO. De
Matthias color bearers had to work
harder to nose out Dewitt, 1914,
after trailing by a II to 6 margin
at the intermission.
Individual laurels for the day
went to Dave Kline, Charlotte Hall
Military Academy center, who
tipped in 35 points in pacing the
Cadets to a 1884 triumph over
Fairfax High School. George
Melito tailed "a points for Bell
but couldn't save his mates from a
7-61 defeat by ST. Anthony's.

Imen-and there are a number of

Field trips are planned for the

for some of the fine bass fishing
hereabouts.
Its amazing how these boys
catch on" Netherton said. with
two or three lessons they are as
good as some men I've seen who
practice all summer. Also they've
learned a lot about fishing and
good fishing tackle. We have little
lectures and instruction periods.
They are learning casting all
right. but also something about

As Hugh Devore Quits
Al 81. Bonaventure
BY the Associofed Press

OLEAN, N. Y, Feb. 2.-Hugh
Devore's plans were anybody's
guess today after his resignation
as football coach at st. Bona
venture College.
Devore's outstanding four-year
record here and his previous ex-
perience at Notre Dame. Ford
ham, Providence and Holy Cross
made him rumored a possibility
for several major coaching vacan-
cies. But he gave no hint of his
plans yesterday before going home
to West Orange, N. j.
All Devore said about his future
and his reasons for leaving in a
letter to college authorities was:
Conditions relative to my own
family and the necessity that
be near them cause me to tender
my resignation at this time with
my deepest regret"
Accepted with Regret"
The letter was released late last
night after the college Commit
tee on Athletics accepted the res
ignation with regret" at spe-
cial session.
The Very Rev. Juvenal Lalor,
o. F. NJ, st. Bonaventure presi-
dent, said the committee agreed
Devore's request was sufficiently
grave to grant his relief from his
contract, which had two more
years to run"
Devore, 80, extended st. Bona
ventures operations into every
section of the country and brought
hitherto unknown fame to the
little college.
His teams had a 25-9-1 four
year record. They tied Boston
College. 6-6. and downed William
and Mary, 7-6, in 194S, and upset
Boston U. last year, 1870.
Devore was right end and CO.
captain in his senior year at Notre
Dame in 1888. He returned to his
alma mater to coach it's freshman
team In 1885. Then he was as
sistant coach at Fordham for
three years.
Returned to Notre Dame.
In 1888 he signed as head coach
at Providence and remained until
1912, when he moved to Holy
Cross as assistant coach. In 1943
he returned to Notre Dame, and
in 1945 he took over the head
coaching reins there. His wartime
Notre Dame squad won seven, lost
two and tied one.
st. Bonaventure officials had no
comment on plans to seek a sue
cessor. No information was avail
able on the status of Devore's as
sistantS here, Ken Stilley, John
Agnone and Herb Dintamin.
Devore's salary was believed to
be one of the highest for a small
college coach, $4,000 or there
abouts.
His resignation long had been
rumored as other schools displayed
interest in him, but last nights
announcement came Unexpectedly.
