TENNIS TALK
By JACK HARING

Edgemoor's team looks like it
may be in for plenty of trouble
this season as it opens the de-
tense of its Interclub League
championship this week end.
Columbia Country Club. which
will have such mainstays as Fred
McNair, Ted Rogers and Charles
Charming on its A League team,
will be out to avenge its loss to
Edgemoor for last years title.
/ Two newcomers to Intercluh
competition - Arlington and
Quantico Marines-must be con-
sidered serious contenders. Guam
tico got off on the right foot last
week end when one of its mem
bers. 1t. Bill Demas, sailed
through some of the Districts
top players to win the D. c.
Commissioners championship.
Arlington's team in the A
League looks like a well-balanced
squad with a lineup including
Steve Potts, Don Floyd, Ed
Richardson, Doug Craig, Bob
Taylor and Col. Fred Moore.
Edgemoor undoubtedly will
field another classy outfit, but
the Bethesda club is sure to be
somewhat weaker down the line
after it loses Tim Coss, its top
player. Coss. who won the Mid
die Atlantic title the last two
years, reports May 20 for induc-
ton into the Army.
Expected to be back on Edge
moor's team are Charles Master
son. Don Dell. Left Beck, Alex
Kettles and Buddy Adair.
There also could be a dark
horse winner among the other
four A League teams because the
top division of the mems inter-
club competition looks like it
should be battle all the way.
Here's the list of weekend
mems interclub matches: Sat-
lurday, B League--Army Navy
at Woodmont. Arlington Tennis
Club at Columbia, Edgemoor
at Washington G&CC. Prince
Georges &C atKenwood. Sunday,
A League-Army Navy at Chevy
Chase, Arlington at Kenwood,
IQuantico at Columbia, Prince
Georges at Edgemoor.
| Scheduling of matches in the
C League is still uncertain. In
activity last week end in the B
League. Prince Georges defeated
Arlington. 6-1. and Edgemoor
squeaked by Army Navy. 4-3. The
Kenwood Washington G g. C C
match was postponed.

Parking Strips

Another best idea of the week can be offered by this peerless fam fly journal this week. The City Council is giving consideration, and seriously. to fixing some parking strips across the street in the fill area. In fact, they may be doing it any day now.
 It strikes us as probably the ans wer. as least for this winter. or getting the streets clear of cars So that the thoroughfares can be kept in shape for free passage of normal traffic and especially for keeping the fire lanes open The fact is that there are more cars than garages in WrangelL AS a result. the streets become the parking lots
 Our leather medal this week to the City Fathers for coming up with a parking solution.

JUNEAU -lR- Proposals to div idle Southeastern Alaska fishing waters into three separate districts probably will be abandoned at least for next season, Donald Mckernan said this week.
 McKernan, administrator of the commercial fisheries division of the Fish and Wildlife Service, said series of hearings in the area showed honest and worthwhile" objections to the proposal.

 The proposed districts were so -at .-n tha. pach overla 7ped the ad- jacent fishing waters to some ex- tent.

 However, he said, the Bureau '.ra wo''3 9 along with the fishermen who objected to the plan sto~-ir~ ne>t season.
 Their objections are valid, Me Herman said. respectfully since it ap- 7oar= that the no thern rms will be small next year and fishermen in that area will have to go else where"
 But he said the proposal would be studied through next season and may be put into effect in 1858 when we anticipate strong runs throughout the area"
 Hearings End Nov. 7-9
 The current series of Territorial wide fishing hearings will con clude with meetings at Seattle Nov ember to g.
 McKernan said fishermen, pack CTS and other interested parties then will have until November 70 to submit additional written briefs and suggestions on the 1857 regu- Iations. After that, he said. the Bureau will complete its proposals for the new regulations and sub init them to Washington for ap- proval by the Interior Department.
