Prairie View.
In spite of the holocaust of the

Wells, sports editor of the Hous-

According to Wells, who also

the picket action upon the
NAACP. CORE organization and
the local Progressive Youth Asso-
ciation, after several weeks of
futile negotiation with officials
of the Oilers team.
Wells urged the picketing of
Oilers games throughout the ma

said the NAACP has assured the

on teams visiting Houston urging
them not TO cross the picket lines
TO play before local segregated

The writer said he had taken
his complaint TO AFL president
Joe Foss. but that Foss failed to
come up with solution to the
problem in Houston. He said
Foss promised to discuss the
matter with them in his office.
Describing the Oilers as the
only team in Pro football that
scgregatcs its home audience,
Wells call the teams policy,
"dcplorabIe." He pointed out that
the Oilers sister team, the Dallas

SHADOW UNDER MY BAIT!
nvisorans Account Of Blue Marlin Sporting Event OF Cape
Aafferas

"He's got it," the mate on the
flying bridge shouted.
The line snapped free from the
outrigger.
Albert, wise to the ways of big
game fish, took his time. The roc
was in his hands a moment after
the fish had been sighted and he
settled himself easily in the fight.
ing chair. With the reel in free
spool, the line tore off it more and
more rapidly. Although the books
say to strike after a slow count OF
ten, counting under such circum.
stances is an indefinite procedure
at best. 1t is far better to strike
when the line changes direction in
the water, when it picks up speed
after a brief showdown or when il
really starts to move after no slow
down at all. If any of these things
happen, it indicates that the fish
has swallowed the bait.
Albert, almost deliberately il
seemed to me, threw the reel into
gear and struck hard. The rod
quivered and the marlin started
to move.
Half an hour later, we still had
not seen the fish. Albert had lost
line, recovered it, lost it again
and still no sign on the surface.
Conjectures ran rampant. Perhaps
it had dropped the bait and a big
shark had returned to take it's
place. Remembering that white
nav on the strike, / could not be-
lieve it. But why no jumps?
'He's hurt and hurt badly" said
Edgar. They'll do that when the
hook is deep-short runs and dog

A short time later, there was a
thrashing of white water astern.
Unless the shark had grown a bill
and a sickle shaped tail, there was
no question on the identity of the
