like Edgar Kaiser, the West
Coast industrialist, have decided
they have had enough, and have
left the field to others. Donald
Campbell, the British speed ace,
continues to toy with new rec
ords in his jet racer, while re-
ports are heard from time to
time that a United States jet
boat socn will be unveiled.
1t is to the credit of the
American Power Boat Associa-
ton and its officers that every
effort is bent to see that speed
boat racing is as reasonably safe
as men, engines and hulls will
make it. They and other groups
will have to keep close tabs on
the racing field to see that it
doesn't become the killer that
road racing appeared on the
way to being little while back.
Shanty I, the unlimited hydro
owned by Bill Waggoner of
Phoenix, Ariz.. and Seattle,
Wash, mas been selected as the
top unlimited in Yachting Mag

by Col. Russ Schleeh, a jet pilot
who knows his business.

was driven by Henry Lauterbach

Maryland Finds 100000
Hunted or Fished in 1855

BALTIMORE. Jan. 4 (R.-
Maryland's waterways and woods
attracted $4,000 hunters and
fishermen who spent $2s,354, 900
for their sport in 1855, the Game
and Inland Fish Commission said
today.
The commission conducted a
survey in connection with a ma
tionwide study for the Fish and
Wildlife Service.
1--WE feel that there are more
people interested in hunting and
fishing than in all other major
sports combined" Ernest A.
Vaughn, director of the commits

A marine monstrosity with a
tail like a Jaguar and two head
lights like a giant golliwog raised
eyebrows of oldtimers who visited
last years New York Boat
Show. Coast Guard officials who
stopped by the booth of the
proud boat manufacturer asked
themselves what next.
Well, now comes the 1857 show
and a product of a West Coast
boat yard that is billed as a 20
foot family" runabout capable
of topping 100 mph." 1t boasts
430 horsepower in twin inboards.
For reasons best known to the
builder, it is called the Bikini.
News of this craft which. in
cidentally. is designed by the
very able unlimited hydro de-
signer, Ted Jones, should send
shivers up and down the spines
of these same Coast Guardmen.
Safety afloat is their business.
The House Merchant Marine
and Fisheries Committee has
spent months on a study Of rec
reational boating safety and is
Ireadying a set Of recommended
ltions to help make the sport a
saner and happier one for all.
The Bikini at first blush doesn't
sound like the boat to help
achieve that goal.
Just imagine. for instance,
what could happen If this So
called family runabout fell into
the hands of a speed addict with
no more knowledge Of the water
than an Iowa farm hand. And
speculate further on what could
happen If it got out Of control
IN crowded harbor or packed
bathing beach.
This is what the press release
has to say for the boat: 1.-THE
super hydro runabout has
single cockpit with room for
three persons. a wrap-around
windshield and rakish tailfin for
sterilization at high speeds.
Built by the Bell Boy division
Iof the Bellingham firm. this
powerful craft with 8-foo:
beam is guaranteed by the
builder to do IS miles per hour
under most water conditions and
TO top the century mark on
on smooth water"
4 y
The urge for speed afloat
parallels the trend for ever-in-
lcreasing horsepower in auto
mobiles. and frankly, they bode
no good for motorist or boatmen.
The pace-setters in the marine
field have been the unlimited
hydro owners and drivers.

except white, with red far down
the line. Color blind people CAM
not recognize red and it is esti-
mated that the color blind make
up at least 8 per cent of the pop

According to the following from
copy of the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger of 1909. hunting safety
isn't a new problem. Entitled
THE Hunting Season" it read:
"a hunter popped a partridge
on a hill; it made great to-do
and then was still. It seems

it was the guide! One shot a
squirrel in nearby wood-a
pretty shot. offhand, from where
he stood. 1t wore, they said a

in town! And one dispatched a
rabbit for his haul that later
proved to measure 6 feet tall; and

shot, it never spoke or moved,
the inquest proved! A cautious
man espied a CLEAN of brown:

from town? And while he pom

potted him!"
The Sailfish Conservation Club
and the Game Fish Research AS
ISOLATION, Inc, of West Palm
Beach, Fla, have released some
interesting figures. Since the in
ception of this program for re-
leasing sailfiSh, some 1875 anglers
have co-operated and released a
total of well over 5000. More
than 1000 have released at least
one sailfish: more than 1000
have released two or three fish:
l67 anglers have released from
four to nine fish each; ll6
anglers have earned 10-Release
trophy and many of them have
released more; II anglers have
released so to 100 sailf1sh apiece.
Many OF these top anglers are

New Plan to Aid Athletes
Studied on Pacific. Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4 up.
The Pacific Coast Conference
today tackled the intricate prob
lem Of financial aid for football
players and other athletes after
knocking down any possibility
that previously assessed penal
ties would be eased.
A recommendation by the
powerful Presidents Council,
composed of leaders of the nine
member schools, proposes a new
aid plan based on need with A.
nancial assistance through
grants-in-aid during the seasons
Of competition.
In opening its two-day special
meeting yesterday. the confer
ence, by single vote, maintained
the round-robin schedule for
football an unanimously acted to
boost scholastic standards for
athletes.
The round-robin, which went
into effect this past season, re-
quires all conference schools, ex-
cept Idaho. to play each other
annually. This means at least
seven conference contests. A plan
backed by UCLA and Southern
California, with support of
Washington and California,
would have reduced the require
ment to five.
The reiteration that the PEN
alties will stand was a setback
for UCLA, use, Washington and,
to a lesser extent. California.
These penalties include loss Of
Q years eligibility for athletes,
most Of them football players,
who received illegal aid in 1855.
DR.. Glenn T. Seaborg of Cali
fornia. the conference spokes-
man. said the vote to maintain
penalties was 80.
Balloting to keep the round
robin football schedule were
Stanford. Washington State. Ore
gon, Oregon State and Idaho,
which doesn't participate in 1t.
UCLA and use both had ex-
pressed a desire to end the
round-robin to allow more in
tersectional contests than the
present three.

should show everyone in the
State just how important our
fish and wildlife resources are in
money value in addition to the
great recreational outlet they
afford.
The survey showed 80 per cent
OF the households in Maryland
have at least one fisherman or
hunter. The statistics show that
the $4,000 who fished or hunted
or did both ranged in age from
IL years and up.
In these households, 278,O00
people fished and 1000 hunted.
OF those fishing, 10000 tried
their luck in fresh water and
100000 in salt water.
OF the hunters, 100, 900 hunted
small game, 10000 big game and
$1,000 hunted waterfowl. Some
OF course did more than one type
OF hunting or fishing or both.
The survey also showed that

Virginia's dove shooting sea-

hard to stalk and shoot. Best
bet is to find a field in which
they are feeding, usually late
sowed winter wheat field or a
mechanically picked-over corn
field which has not yet been
narrowed or reploughed, build
a blind and hope they fly over.
Decoys help tremendously, but
frankly we'd be hard put to tell
you where you can find them. It
helps to have a lot of gunnerS
