FISHING
Copf. Gene Hunt
GAIL D.


From the last rockfish in
January until the first rock in
April is a dreary time indeed
for you salt water sportsmen.
You have been framed by Old
Man Winter and handed a four
month stretch of weekendS to
be served in the custody of the
home, the wife and the kids.
The novelty of being ashore
week after week will soon turn
to boredom and sooner or later
in a desperate attempt to es-
care the dripping sinus cavities
on TV, the unrelenting warfare
waged by the kids and the skill
hon little jobs the wife happens
to think up, you will return to
the midwinter nonsense known
as overhauling your tackle.
This is a harmless enough
pasttime in most cases, but if
you happen to own really first
gear, it can become expensive.
Take the rod, for instance. Gen.
orally, there isn't much you can
do with the rod. You can wipe
it off with a clean rag and
that's about it. OF course, you
can grab the tip in one hand,
the butt in the other and with
not too much effort, see if you
can bend them together. This is
a wonderful way to test the
rod and see if it still has the
old snap in it. 1t is also sure
fire means of assuring yourself
of getting a new rod next
spring.
Next, you can turn to your
bucktail They will either be
clean and unused, or they may

In addition she has captured
high or near high records for

ing of captain Mary Anchor has
helped, The Musicians to pull

place Francisco's Restaurant.
Johnna Nordenson is a new
member of the 600 Club. She

place Medley jewelers. in the
Merry Maids league at Congress
sional. Holder of the high game
in that league is Dottie Long
who bowls with the second place
team.
In the Mixed Early Birds last
Monday, Darlene Gill rolled a
blazing 244 for second place for
Fortuna, Inc. In this league Tor
Nordenson recently hit a mems
high of 654 for his third place
Bethesdan Motor Hotel. He also
holds high mems average, while
Fitz Donnally holds high mems
game with a 248. The Keglers
have successfully beaten off all
challengers and have kept first
place.

pate in a tournament which is
unique in that it costs them

County Man is Day lawyer
5pare-Eme Gage Coach

During the week, Frank
Gilmore is a lawyer for the Fed
eral Power Commission. On his
spare time, however, he be-
comes an incurable sports fan.
Gilmore, who lives at 3515
Harel st. in Wheaton, has
been player, coach, and spec
tator at games in the area since
his days at Gonzaga High
School in the mid-40's.
In the last few years, most
people have considered Gilmore
an assistant basketball coach at
Carroll High School during the
Lions 55 game winning streak.
Actually, however, Gilmore had
no official position.
When asked what his job was
with Carroll, the soft-spoken
Georgetown graduate would
always reply: I'm just friend
of the coach"
Mutual Respect
THE coach" is Bob Dwyer,
also a County resident. Dwyer
and Gilmore have been friends
for some years, and each has a
strong admiration for the
others ability.
After Carroll won the New
port Tourna ment in 1859,
Dwyer, Gilmore and several
friends had small party at the
Shamrock Cliffs Hotel.
II want to say" Dryer re-
marked after a toast in his
honor, that 1 consider myself
very fortunate to have assis-
tants like Frank and Moss
Moss Collins, also a County
RESIDENT. These men have been
willing to help me in everything
without ever questioning me
behind my back. They deserve
a lot of credit"
Coached Gonzaga
Gilmore's own career as a
head basketball coach was
abrupt. In 1928 he coached
football and basketball at his
alma mater, Gonzaga. The
Eagles reached the final game
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1961-02-02

in basketball only to lose to st.
Johns, but Gilmore decided he
had too much to do, coaching
full time and trying to earn d
law degree.
1t was through sports that
Frank met his wife the former
Grace Haley, daughter of Pete
Haley, the Detroit Tigers Wash
ington area scout. They were
married in 1856 and now have
two daughters.
Franks day as a player has
just about ended. He played
football and was an All-Prep
center at Gonzaga, but dropped
that sport and concentrated on
softball. Once known as one of
the best pitchers on the sand
lots, he has not pitched in
about four years, and has no
intention of returning.
The Gilmore's shared one of
their worst, and later most en-
joyable, sporting moments in
the same game, the Carroll-St.
GATHERINGS (Racine. Wisc.) fl.
male of last years Knights of
Columbus Tournament.
Carroll Falls Behind
Carroll, which had never
trailed a high school team in
the last half in two years, fell
a point behind with IA seconds
left. The Lions called time out,
passed the ball around for nine
seconds, and then threw. it to
George Letfwich at the top of
the foul circle.
Leftwich fired a jump shot
over two charging Wisconsin
players to win the game and
preserve the unbeaten streak.
"The funniest thing about
that shot" Gilmore reminisced
about it, was that George, Bob
Dryer and myself had been
playing horses shooting the
ball from set positions on the
floor earlier that week, and
George kept losing because he
couldn't hit from the top of the
foul circle"
Mrs. Gilmore, who was in the
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1961-02-02

The girls claim this league is
"for the birds" since the team
names were chosen from names
of birds. The team that you
would think should be on the
top-the Woodpeckers-are on
the bottom, The distaffs make
sure that everyone knows when
they get a mark. A member of
the Cuckoo team calls out GOO
coo" when this happens, while
a Woodpecker cries knock
knock" OF special notice is
Margo Seeley who won the
Strikes and Spares patch re-
Gently.
The ladies have been making
records for themselves in the
Friday Mix.ups at COMPRESSION
al Plaza. Linda Bare hit 500s
three weeks in a row to pull in
to the lead for ladies high aver
age. Both Marie Skora and Hell
en- Troell of Henry Corbin Real
tors have rolled games which
qualify them for special awards
from the Women's City Associa-
ton.

appear a little dingy. In either
case you can really fix them up
by bleaching them. This is cas-
lily accomplished by dropping
them in a pan of boiling water,
loaded with Clorox. Leave them
there for at least an hour and
you will be amazed at how
bright and white they become.
OF course, all the hair will
fall out, but at least it will be
white.
Finally, there's the reel. Be-
ing a fairly complex mechanism
composed of all sorts of little
screws and washers, this offers
a real challenge. First, you
can plunk the whole thing in
tact into a can of kerosene and
by swishing it around awhile,
N1Cdli OH lllC QdSl I'll lllC sui
face as well as wash all the lu-
bricant out of its gears and
bearings. Or, you can get really
bold and take the whole thing
apart piece by piece. This is
really the only way to do the
job right and besides. it's patri-
otto. 1t keeps the tackue shop
and repair man in business and
therefore is a boost to the coun-
tvs sagging economy.
One last thing. When you fl
nally do get around to taking
your reel to the repair man, be
sure and wait until about a
week before the season opens.
That way. you will run into a
lot of your fishing buddies and
you can all have a big time
swapping yarns.

Probable Deer Season

For the benefit of those who
must set their vacation sched-
ules now, c. 0. Handley, game
management chief of the West
Virginia Conservation Commits
sion, said today that for num-
Der of years past the deer hunt
ing season has opened on the
Monday nearest December 1.
Should this procedure be fol
lowed in setting the 1861 sea-
son, Handley said, the cunning
time will be opening on Deem
Der 4.
An additional note on West
Virginia hunting shows that the
increase in archery license may
have cost that state many thou
sands of dollars. The number
of nonresident bowmen who
came to West Virginia to hunt
fell from a high of 1867 in 1856
to a record low of 236 in 1860.
Effective last year was the new
higher nonresident Bow Ii
cense which cost SIS as opposed
to the previous fee of S.. Con-
servation records indicate that
one out of so gets his deer, but
the so hunters 1t takes to get
that one deer pay about $1,000
into the economy of West Vir-
ginia communities where they
hunt.

AFIEID
I'm Maryland

You know, February, despite
it. cold weather. is one of the
incest months of the year. It's
time of relaxation, when you
can sit back and recall the good
times you had fishing last sum-
mer, or the tricky shot you
made on the twisting ringneck.
It's catalog time, too, and
this is one of the cheapest and
most enjoyable hobbies you can
find. Just looking through
magazines and selecting those
companies you want to ask for
a catalog showing their wares
is exciting, and the long wait
until the booklet arrives makes
the game more fun.
Not only can you dream
shop" for that special reel or
rod you wanted, but you'll find
the catalogs are heaped with
interesting and useful informa-
ton about your favorite sport.
A manufacturer of spinning
equipment will have several ar
ticles on how to spin fish. He
figures that anyone who gets
the booklet for this information
will. also become interested in
his products. Past experience
bears this out and few catalogs
are printed by major companies
today that don't have informa-
tive articles.
Yes, catalogs are fun, and
each one is a small treasure of
information concerning your ia
vorite sport-and February is
the perfect month to read them.

has d SllSIlIly UelIeT f0COTu
against far better opposition,
Friday nights game with
Sherwood will be one of the
most important basketball
clashes between the two riv-
ais in years. Game time is 8
pm. at Gaithersburg.
Under the new classification
for participation in the Mary
land State basketball tourn-
ament both schools fall in the
"a" category, that is, 250-500
boys. Since these are the only
schools of like enrolment in the
County, the winner of this series
becomes eligible to play Oxon
Hill of Prince Georges County
for a ticket to College Park.
Gaithersburg is currently tied
with Northwood for the last
rung in the County League with
a Is league mark and 4-6 over
all total. All of the Trojans'
losses have been to larger
schools however, and only once
have they been completely out
classed.
II secuted Gaithersburg last
Saturday night and they looked
awful good to me, coach Gene
Doane of Sherwood said.
"We'll have a height advan-
tage over them, but they have
four good boys which we just
can't match"
Sherwood has compiled a %
record against less potent oppo-
sition than Gaithersburg has
faced and on top of that, the
Warriors haven't played a game
in II days because of the snow.
Sherwood's record is a bit mis-
leading, however. The Warriors
have lost four of their eight
games by a total of seven points
and with a few breaks the boys
from Sandy Spring might be
sporting a ga mark at this point.
They have been blasted only
twice, by Good Counsel 1888,
while 6-foot-5 Jack Bowman was
sidelined, and by unbeaten Sur
rattsville. They gave unbeaten
Laurel a run for its money be-
fore losing by SLAP score.
Against Gaithersburg, Sher.
wood could have three sophie
mores, a junior and senior in
the starting lineup. Bowman,
the senior, will team with sophie
mores Butch Tolson, 6-foot-1,
Denny Heinbuck, 5-foot-10, jun
Tor Johnny Becraft, 5-foot-1O,
and senior Mary Mahan 6-foot-2,
or sophomore Mike Torbet, g.
foot-1. Tolson is the teams
scoring leader with 80 points.
Gaithersburg should use the
same lineup Friday that nearly
delt Northwood its second upset
last Saturday. A game Cath
ersburg squad missed two
chances in the last 30 seconds at
Northwood as the Trojans lost,
1854.
After a see-saw battle in
which the lead changed hands
repeatedly, Northwood moved
ahead by five with two minutes
left on the clock. Bruce Nc
Naughton hit on jumper to
narrow the margin to three and
Jimmy Wards basket brought
the Trojans within one. Ward
missed on a jump shot and after
a jump ball, Mike Juden faxed
his man out of position with
seven seconds left and took a
jumper from inside the foul line
but missed.
Gaithersburg Coach Pat Nc
Carthy will probably have three
juniors and two seniors in his
lineup Friday. Juden, 6-foot-1,
Ward, 5-foot-11, and McNaugh-
ton, 6-foot-1 are the juniors,
while Leon Taylor, 5-foot-11, and
John Wolfe, 6-foot-2 are the
seniors.
