The United States team placed

Today's victory gave the Ger

The German team, captained by
Andreas Ostler, plummeted down

then lowered it to a new course

Although it has one of the city's

does everything we'll but he alone
is not enough to win for Anacos-

lying around in great disarray.
His friend was struggling with a
brass rod, curved somewhat like
an umbrella with a loop in the
middle and one at each end.
From the end loops which held
brass Swivels dangled wires. At
the end of one wire was a curved
silvery gadget with hook on the
end which his friend called q

to him. At the end of the other
wire was lead-headed hook with
fur around it. His friend told him
he was making "spreader." The
furry gadget was a polar bear
hair bucktail." His idea was not
especially to catch two fish at
once Che was going bluefishing)
but to find out which bait the
bluefish liked best. OF course
he'd be glad If two fish did bite at
once.
Upon being asked how he knew
the hair was polar bear hair. he
said it was on the package-also
it cost plenty. They looked at
the package and it said nothing
about polar bear hair. His friend,
ignoring this fact, told him polar
bear hair was greatly superior to
common bucktail because it shed
a greenish light in the water which
the fish liked and was scornful of
his suggestion to put a worm on
the hook and quit trying to kid
the fish.
Upon another evening, calling
upon another angling friend, he
found him tying some of these
polar bear hair gadgets on nylon
strings. This second friend, upon
being told what the first friend
said Of polar bear hair, snorted
and said that was all wrong.
Polar bear hair was crinkly and
made little wave in the water
after it. which attracted the fish.
Upon request, he grudgingly gave
our friend one hair. which he put
in a white envelope. Then they
couldn't find the hair, so they
hunted all over the house to find

wanted to take the hair home and
