If you have ever wondered
why that one "big" rock always
alludes you it may well be that
the answer is shown in this
graph. Any fish that can escape
all of the natural hazards of his
environment. dodge all the var
ious nets the commercial men
set for him, and in addition, re-
fuse to bite on a billion and one
bats put out by the sports fish
ermen, is a crafty fellow indeed.
Or to put it another way, in any
one years hatch it will be the
weakest and dumbest fish that
will die first. AS they grow
from year to year the foolish
or careless fish will be plucked
off one by one until all that are
left win be the really wise old
birds who have learned to keep
their eyes open and their
mouths shut.
If You would like to know
the age of the rock fish you
have caught, you can determine
this from his scale. If you will
look closely at the scale of a
rock you will notice a set of
dark Kinks running out from
the center of the scale. 1t will
look very similar to a cross Sec
ton of a tree and just as you
can tell the age of a tree you
can do the same with a rock
fish scale. The fish will be one
year old for each ring that you
can count.

the rock is strictly a hometown
boy.
He is born in our rivers and
spends most of his young life in
our Bay or the tributaries. 1t
is known that the rock fish do
leave the Bay but indications
are that this wandering doesn't
begin until the Rock is fairly
well grown.
The Rock will grow about
five inches the first year of his
life and he is nearly three years
old before he reaches II inches
which is the minimum legal
length. From this point he gains
weight rapidly and though it
took almost three years to reach
II inches, he is not yet nine
years old when he reaches the
15-pound maximum legal weight
In which he may be kept.
A graph produced by the Bio
logical Laboratory at Solomons
indicated the following:
The Rock grows to one-fifth
Of u pound the first year, one
half pound the second year, one
and one-haf pounds the third
year, two and three-fourths the
fourth year, four and three
quarters the fifth year, six and
threequarters the sixth year,
nine and three-quarters the sew
enth year, twelve and a half the
eighth year and to 16 pounds
by the ninth year.
From this you can see that if
the fish can survive for about
six years, he will really begin to
grow.

Big Tourney
Gives Coupe
Headaches
By Jim Caw0od
Sports Writer

Just before George Wash
ington's Birthday, a 6-foot-7
Basketball star from Marist
High School in Atlanta, Ga.
broke his leg in a scrim-
mage.
Four or five days later, Billy
Lawrence of Molloy High
School in New York City scored
"a points but his team lost in
double overtime in the semi-fi-
nails of the New York City Cath
Ole High School tournament.
Interesting, you say, but CON-
pletely irrelevant To most peo-
pie it would be, but not to Au-
gustine E. Coupe.
Coupe, better known as Gus,
is the longtime director of ath-
letics at Georgetown Prep. For
the last five years, however,
he has taken on the response
bility of directing the Knights
of Columbus Tournament.
This annual extravaganza,
matching the finest Catholic
high schools in the country, will
take place March "a, 25 and
26 at Georgetown University.
Coupe's main job is to select six
teams to join with the two local
entrants.
Such is no easy task, and
Coupe'S home at 4815 Leland st.
in Chevy Chase is filled with
letters, postcards, and bro
chures to and from some 218
schools around the country.
It's fortunate for Coupe that
his wife and two children, Tom
my and Ellie, are also basket
ball fans. 1t is nothing for the
Coupes to squire Ellie to play
in a game at 900 Saturday
morning, take in a Prep game
in the afternoon, and come
home to a set of jangling
phones of boosters from Notre
Dame of Clarksburg, w. Va, or
st. Mary's of Menasha, Wis.
1t takes a man with iron
nerves and strong will to
compare and contrast all the
records and make the best selec-
tons. Coaches, newspapermen,
local knights of Columbus must
be consulted; biased opinions
must be discarded.
Gus took over as Tournament
Director in 1857, when Bob
Dwyer resigned because he had
to coach Carroll in the tourna.
ment. Since then he has man.
aged to bring in teams from
Wisconsin. Minnesota, Oklaho.
ma, and Troy, N. Y, in addi-
ton to retaining the champions
from New York and Philadel.

Represented in the Tourna-
ment so far have been the Dis
trict of Columbia and ten states
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia, South Carolina, West Vir-
ginia, New York, New Jersey,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ok
lahoma. Many Of the midwest.
ern schools cannot play here be-
cause Of the High School Fed
GRAFTON Rules, but the Tourna-
ment officials are casting a hun
CRY eye toward Chicago.
This year Coupe's feelers
went out to places like New
Haven, Oklahoma City, Racine
Wis, Minneapolis, Chicago, At
lanta, and Charlotte, N. c. For
some the trip was too long. For
others, like the Georgia school,
the loss of their star ruined
their chances. For still others,
like Molloy of New York, heart.
breaking losses caused their
elimination.
