Reheorse The Came

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, July
(AP).-On November 25, about
1:55 pm. the football cap
tains of Harvard and Yale will
meet at midfield in the Yale
Bow, for the Game, the 88th
in an ancient series that goes
back to 1875.
Grim-looking Harvard's Pete
Hart and Yale's Paul BurSiek
will shake hands, call the toss
OF the coin, trot back to give
teammates final instructions
and lead them to battle. The
atmosphere will be electric
with excitement.
Cheering them on will be

of the program for the game
The idea was that of editor
Charley Lotus, who probably
has started something.
The game has done peculiar
things to participants, espe-
cially coaches. Yale's famed
Tad Jones once delivered a
philippe to his impressionable
heroes that went like this:
Gentlemen, you are about
to play football for Yale
against Harvard. Never in your
lives will you do anything Sc
important"
It's been repeated, and there
have been others, all designed
to bring the young giants to
a fever pitch.
There were no signs of mur-
der in the hearts of cover lads
Hart and Bursiek, however
when they met before the
camera. Instead, there was
mutual respect.
Said Hart: I'm glad I'm an
end and don't have to play
head-on against Paul"
Said BurSiek: pete is q

"Destry Rides Again" may
well be the solgan of players
swinging into action tomorrow
at the Edgemoor Club, Be-
thesda, Md.
At an age when most athletes
embellish youthful achieve
ments from comfortable chairs,
these 45-year-old and over
competitors open play in an
other national tournament -
the National Seniors Clay
Court singles and doubles
championships.
They are bringing to these
classics unmatched enthusiasm,
competitive spirit and unri-
vailed knowledge of the game
If these veterans are a step
slower than during the days
when many were making tennis
history, their strokes and
tactics still furnish spectators
with a most rewarding contest
to watch.
The seniors championship
originated in 1918 when United
States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton officials conceived of q
tournament that would bring
back into action the stars OF
earlier years.
Many of Americas top stars
have won the seniors title, in
both singles and doubles. The
first winner, Ross Burchard,
was a well known player
around the turn of the CEN
tury. Clarence Hobart, the 1919
champion, ranked in the first
ten intermittently from 1890
until 1907, his top rating being
No. 2 in 1891. Watson M. Wash
burn, Cavis Cup star and
runnerup in two national
doubles championships with r.
Norris Williams II, as his part
ner, captured the crown in 1910.
The seniors singles champ
ionship was dominated by ],
Gilbert Hall, a consistent top
player during the 1930s, from
1914 through 1850. Hall, a great
athlete with booming fore
hand to back up a powerful
service, won seven titles in a
row without drawing a hard
breath.
A Washington player, the
late Clarence M. Charest, took
the crown on three occasions,
in 1929, 1882 and 1888.
But none of these earlier
champions had the large num-
ber of strong opponents, who
have kept in top physical con-
dition, to face. Since 1850 the
pressure has become greater as
one time tournament stars
eager to resume competition on
an equal age basis, swell senior
ranks.
The championships starting
tomorrow illustrate the quality
of competition.
Best-known entry is top
seeded Bryan M. Grant. jr., of
Atlanta, Ga. Always a tremen-

weight to the surface long
enough to identify it, then
inched it past a dozen pilings
to shoal water while the turtle
made only feeble protests.
Freed at last of the offending
hook. the loggerhead swan
ponderously off to sea.
Arrested for Showing Shark
All this reminds us Of an
other catch sometimes made
inside these inletS-Sharks. A
young man was arrested at a
nearby South Florida city only
the other day for catching and
displaying a big hammerhead
shark.
Seems there's q city Or
dinance against catching and
displaying either sharks or
barracuda for fear of frighten-
ing away tourists.
Frankly, that's ridiculous.
Sharks and barracuda have
been and will be with us for
a long time. The problem is
not in hiding their presence
but in educating the visitors
as to which are the real and
which the imagined dangers.
OF the two, 'cuda gradually
have come to have the more
sinister reputation. Yet, from
scientific accounts, sharks are
by far the most dangerous.
Don't Trust Big Shark
No big shark Is to be trusted,
except perhaps the flabby-
looking nurse shark which
spends most Of its time roofing
around the shadows.
Even then, shark attacks are
rare and skin divers who have
encountered them face to face
have found that by far the
larger proportion show no in
clination to attack. Often
shark attacks occur through
sheer carelessness, such as ty-
ing q stringer filled with dead
fish to a belt. Naturally, the
fish, and the person, become
shark bait.
BarracudaS, apparently, are
much more maligned without
good reason. Perhaps it's the
appearance of this long, slen-
der fish with its wicked
looking teeth, or maybe it's
the savage way it strikes a
lure, but far more evil deeds
have been laid to the 'cuda |
than ever have been proved.
Defends Barracuda
Ed Migdalski, Yale ichthy-
ologist, in his Anglers Guide

they'll jump, not like a tarpon,
but enough to make it in

lived, though, and unless the
fish is a big one it doesn't COM

GUS about wading or swimming

yards but always staying a re-

Nevertheless, when we found

things over. Could Migdalski

WATER LINE
By HANK BOWMAN

A few weeks ago at q south
ern marina a minor explosion
occurred aboard a pleasure
craft. Fortunately no one was
seriously injured. The cause
was an odd one, but it points
up the highly FexploSive char
acteristics of gasoline vapors.
The skipper of the small
cabin cruiser thought that he
had observed all fueling safety
precautions, but he had over
looked the potential danger of
static electricity.
His teenage daughter was
sitting on the sheer rail comb
ing her hair. The explosion
that occurred was attributed
to a spark produced by her
grooming routine. Granted
such an accident is a rarity.
It's equally as rare. however,
that an explosion aboard any
type boat doesn't result in
physical injury or expensive
property damage.
Consider this important
fact: The vapors from one
cupful of gasoline have the
explosive power Of a dozen
sticks Of dynamite. Why risk
your family's lives, your safety
or your boat when a few added
precautions can allow you to
relax with a feeling of security
Many outboard boat own
ers are fitting permanently in
stalled fuel tanks in their
boats. All wood or plastic
boats with such installations
should be equipped with a
proper grounding system to
prevent gas fume explosions
triggered by static electricity
sparks. Under certain condi-
tions even the friction of the
flow Of gasoline may create
static electricity.
Boatmen have a choice Of
a number Of types of COM
pact grounding plate kits.
Properly installed, these
grounding devices will elimi-
nate the potential danger of
static sparks.

Briggs said it has been esti-

Of the trademarks of Florida
is the bridge fisherman.
From Jacksonville to the
Keys you'll find them patiently
lining the concrete walkways
angling for anything from
jacks to giant Jewish. A pail
Of live shrimp is beside them
and whether they have luck
or not, they'll sit there by the
hour.
In this area, bridge fishing
is a favorite way of catching
big snook. These, with tarpon
have supplanted the sailfish as
summer fishing favorites al
though sailfishing still is good
Great Game Fish
Although unknown to north
ern anglers, Snook are great
game fish in Florida. Strictly
a coastal species, they hug the
shore and prefer brackish wa
ters. They are often found be-
meath mangroveS, around piers
and docks and the pilingS OF
bridges.
A long, silver fish with
q pike-like head and a dark
streak down its side, a snook
often attainS a weight of IS
to 40 pounds although the
world record is only a little
more than so. Night is their
favorite feeding time and
they'll strike eagerly at plugs
or other artificials as we'll as
shrimp.
Thus, you'll find the bridge
fishermen in this area often
fishing all night long. They
work back and forth along the
pilings, casting everything ir
the tackle box trying to get q
strike.
The other afternoon we went
down to the piers in front oi
the Sunrise Inn on the St
Lucie River to try for snook
because we had heard quite q
few hang out there. The inn
is closed for the season but the
piers are not deserted because
they are a favorite fishing spot
Turtle Strange Haul
We found the snook all right
clustered about the stern of q
moored boat, but they saw us
before we saw them and al
though they very often would
swim into full view, not one
would take the tempting plugs
we cast from late afternoon
into the night.
oldest haul was a big
loggerhead turtle that a fisher
man foul-hooked -on 50-pound

and the barnacle-backe sea

was recently discussing the
trend of small craft operators
installing more and more
electronic gear. All m arin G
electronic devices are intended
for safety, he explained. How
ever, most of them offer added
attractions besides safety
With a radiotelephone boat
operators can listen to music
and talk to their home OF
their office; radio direction
finders can be tuned in to
entertainment programs or
broadcast frequencies, and
depth sounding devices can be
used as an aid in locating
fish.
Gasoline fume detectors
though reliable and inexpen-
sive, have not sold in large
quantities" he lamented. "A
gas detector doesn't do any
thing except protect life and
property. If it would play mu-
sic or something, it would
sell like crazy"
Bilge snifferS, gas detectors
fume alarms, as compact
electronic life savers are vari-
ouSly called, can be bought
in kit form for as little as
$40 and fully assembled mod
els are available for well un-
der 500.
Gas detectorS function in a
variety of ways. All of them
have some type of detector
unit or head which is in
stalled down in the bilge where
gas fumes that are heavier
than air collect.
On compartmented boats a
number of detector heads can
be installed below deck. Re
gardless of whether the warn
ing system is audible or visual
the moment the electronic de-
vice issues its alarm, the
skipper knows that he should
stop his powerplant, see that
any open fires and cigarettes
are put out, open matches tc
ventilate the bilge and make
a check to locate the source
| of the fumes.
