Of light reflected from the
water and he must inStinctively
gauge judgment of water COL
grafton with this in mind.
Wave formations, the con-
tour of land masses near the
water, type of vegetation, drift
wood, location of debris and
type Of marine growth are
other indicators that the water
watcher learns to read. Even
the heading Of lazing fish, the
position of a turtle on a tree
stump, the direction a frog
leaps into the water tell the
skilled boatm a n much about
current.
The movement Of porpoises
in and out Of an inlet or the
behavior Of birds can foretell
weather changes.
If your present boating &C
Itivities have become boring,
why not start taking notes of
what you see around you. Re-
late them to plotting. You'll
thrill to observations you will
make on your own that will
add to your boating lore.

Capital Classic
Set Saturday

West Virginia State College
a familiar visitor to Washing
ton, and Norfolk State, q
newcomer to Central Intercol-
legiate Athletic Association
ranks. will meet at D. C. Stadi-
UNI Saturday night in the 22d
Capital Classic football game.
The Classic is being revived
after a one-year lapse follow
ing the close Of Griffith Stadi-
UNI.
West Virginia. long a power
in the CIAA, will be making its
first appearance here sine e
withdrawing from the associa-
ton to concentrate on competi-
ton within the State. In seven
games the West Vir-
ginians compiled a 2-4-1 re-
cord, the tie being a 6-6 stale

were high and dry before their
helmSmen r ealize d what had
happened. Fortunately, no real
damage was done aside from
Inicking prop blades. 1t later
developed that an intermediate
channel marker had been dis
placed.
On our return someone sug-
geSted an impromptu race. We
were second boat in the process
sion when we reached the loca-
ton where the other boats had
gone aground. The lead boat
swung out to follow the same
approximate route Mel had
taken several hours before.
This time Mel steered a
straight course. He had noted,
the first time through, q ring
Of barnacles clinging to the
channel markers about a foot
above the water. When we
came back the barnacles were
covered. Mel knew instinctively
that there was enough water
under US so we wouldn't hit
bottom.
Water watching require S
practice. What to look for will
vary from one boating area to
another. There are, however,
generalities tn at can be de-
pended upon.
You will learn to be SUSPECT
Gus Of sudden changes In water
celebration and surface water
conditions. Sunlight will reflect
different colors depending upon
the type bottom over which
you are cruising.
In ocean operation white
water will warn Of a shallow
bottom. In some water, dark
patches may indicate far great
er depth than the surrounding
blue or greeniSh water, and in
other situations it will serve as
a signal Of dangerously shallow
water.
In the Bahamas, for exam
pie. a light green coloration in
dicates a clear coral, sand or
mari bottom of about 20-30
feet in depth. There, dark
patches don't indicate sudden
deep holes but rather warn of
rocks and coral heads that may
be very close to the surface.

Swim More,
Date Less,
Britons Told

LONDON, Nov. 10 (AP).-Fif-
Ity-two British teenage SWIM
mers, hoping to compete in the
Olympic Games in Tokyo next
October, have been told to give
up dates and swim till 1t hurts.
They've been put on a short
list from which Britain's Olym-
pic team Of % will be chosen.
Between now and Tokyo,
every one Of them has to give up
h parties and boy and girl
friends. They must swim be-
tween 400 and 800 miles in
training.
The spartan program was
devised by ALI Price. 64-year-
old manager Of the British
team.
I'VE are going to push them
until it really hurts" he said.
There is a pain barrier to
break through in swimming be-
fore really top times are
achieved.
Every member Of our team
will have gone through that
barrier before they leave for
Tokyo.
I'VE shall have the fittest
bunch of youngsters in history.
Everyone who boards the
Tokyo plane will have a real
chance"
The ban on dating is aimed
mainly at keeping the young
stars in the swimming pool.
Romance Is the reason so
many fine swim ers retire
around IT," Price said. "It's a
pity. A swimmers potential is
only beginning at II. But how
can you stop the kids falling
in love?"
They won't get much chance
If they stick rigidly to Prices
training schedule.

Elorde Keeps
Grown in
Rough Bout

MANILA, Nov. Is CAP).-
Flash Elorde Of Manila re-
tanned his junior lightweight
title today when the referee
disqualified challenger Love
Allotey for repeated fouling in
their scheduled I5-round
championship bout.
Referee Jaime Valencia
stopped the fight In the 18th
round after taking numerous
points away from AIlotey for
fouling. He finally called q halt
after SO seconds Of the round
when Allotey hit Elorde on the
break for the fourth or fifth
time.
The angry challenger
charged at the referee when he
raised Elorde's hand in victory
and had to be restrained from
taking q punch at the official.
The crowd Of $4,000 at the
Araneta Coliseum In suburban
QueZon City booed Allotey,
threw oranges, soda bottles and
other debris into the ring.
Elorde, 100 pounds, was
bleeding from q cut in the cor
ner Of his right eye and had q
cut on his nose, both apparent

weighed 1913.
The champion complained
several times about Allotey's
tactics, and at times the fight
threatened to turn into a brawl
as Elorde became angry by the
challenger's butting, heeling,
elbowing and hitting on the
break.
The referee and two judges
had Elorde ahead, 46-44 and
48-42.

picks the three wood for an
interesting reason.
A good player, according to
the Silver Fox Of Prince
Georges, can feather his shots
enough to make a three wood
travel the same distance as a
four wood. but you can't do
it the other way around.
All four go to the three and
five irons next and then comes
another diversion Of opinion.
Cox, Houghton and Bassler
take the seven iron, while
Beman prefers the eight.
Probably the most difficult
decision is whether or not to
pick a nine iron over the
wedge because the wedge has
so many useS-for both pitch
ing and coming out Of sand.
Bassler would use a pitching
wedge, Beman has a sand
wedge that he can use from
the fairway, but both Cox and
Houghton, remembering their
childhood, take the nine iron.
They had to come out of the
sand with a nine iron. or nib
lick as Houghton calls it, in
the old days.
- -
Cox and Houghton played
through all the eras, from the
time when seven clubs repre-
sented a complete set" until
they felt undressed without Is
or 20 sticks.
And neither believe 1t would
work a great hardship on the
really accomplished player of
shots.
They'd have to learn to
play the old feathered or soft
shots, Cox says. 1--WE didn't
always have all these clubs.
We had to learn how to soften
up on a five iron or hit 1t
full. You'd get a picture of
how far you are from the green
and then decide on the type of
shot to hit.
Mac Smith and Willie Nc
Farlane were great opponents
Of the soft shot. They'd use a
three iron for anything from
$50 yards In. You'd see them
hit a three iron, and you'd try
it yourself-and usually wind
up over the green"

What the RIA is trying to
prove isn't quite clear, but
what it will prove is sppallingly
clear to at least two Of our
most accomplished players.
Both Deane Beman, who
must rate as an authority off
his two National Amateur VIC
tories, to say nothing Of his
British Amateur title, and Al
Houghton, the best Of an era
past, are convinced the big
hitter viii profit. Such q limit
would take some of the power

need them most - the short

Charley Bassler. for instance,
could be considered a big hit
ter. Ask him what clubs he
would choose If the United
States Golf Association would
impose a seven-club limit for
the National Open at Congress
sional next June.
"a driver, four wood, 3, 5 and
z irons, a pitching wedge and
a putter." he'll say and add
without stopping: when I
played at Oakmont I don't
think I used any more than
that anyway" Bassler is speak
ing Of 1851, when he lost to
Sam Snead in the semifinals
of the PGA.
Now that Bassler has made
his choices known, what would
you select II you were to play a
7,000-yard golf course and were
allowed only seven clubs?
The first choice is fairly OBJ
vious you Just can't play
without q putter. The second
choice is Just as easy for any
one who ever has attempted
to bring Congressional to its
knees. You'd better bring along
a driver.
After that 1t gets q little
tricky. Bassler, Beman and
Witty Cox, the Congressional
pro who at one time played
with only seven clubs. pick

Art of Water Watching
Adds to Plotting Lore

Mel Crook is a writer friend
Of mine who has been handling
boats since he was a youngster.
AT one time Mel raced unlimit-
ed class hydroplanes skillfully
enough to be elected to the
Marine Hall Of Fame. Several
times a year Mel and I are
thrown together at boating
functions and If there are new
products to check out we uSu-
ally team up because we're
both water watchers.
Water watching is a sort Of
cult that has an un official
membership Of thousands Of
pleasure boatmen from coast to
coast. 1t isn't q new society.
The Phoenicians, as early as
the It'll century BIC. used water
watching in thir exploration
in the Mediterranean and the
Black Seas. Vasco da Cana,
Columbus and Magellan were
all water watchers during the
great age of discovery in the
18th and 10th centuries. The
Polynesians had to be water
watchers in order to cross the
Pacific and settle the Hawaiian
Islands.
Water watching quite sinp-
ly, is folk plotting, taking ad-
vantage Of n atur II signposts
that warn the wary Of hidden
dangers and couple d with a
trained sense Of observation
helps boatmen develop instinc-
tive judgments that are the
trade mark Of the skilled pilot.
Last winter Mel and I were
travelin g along West Coast
Florida's Inland Waterway.
The channel was well marked
and we were lead boat Of a
group Of four moving along at
about 80 miles per hour. On
one straight stretch Mel sud-
denly veered, steering an arc
that carried him about 25
yards to the left Of a straight
course between two N eel
markers. I, also. had seen the
dark pattern through which we
had been travelling suddenly
take on a considerably lighter
color. Mel held a course just to
the left Of the lighter area.

PERCH AND PIKE COOPERATIVE
= In Praise of LoW-Pressure Fishing
By WHEELER JOHNSON
Outdoog Edit0

There certainly Is q lot to be
said for low-presure fishing,
the kind where you don't have
much In mind except getting
out In . boat; you don't care
how big the fish are: or. really.
whether you catch one or not.
The yellow perch. probably
disdained by hot shot anglers
who need q truly big fish to
stir them, had been In for sew
eral weeks. And they were
working over the weed beds in
the various tidal rivers in good
numbers, according to the re-
ports I was getting.
For the last several seasons
It seemed that these little
gameSters had been greatly re-
duced In numbers. During the
years Of scarcity. fishermen
would come In with good
strings Of pike and only two
or three yellow nedS.
Perch Come Back
But this year the perch had
come back strong and catches
reversed the trend-lots Of
perch and not so many pike.
I heard so much about this
from perch admirers I suddenly
got q yen to break out light
tackle and try for myself. I put
In q call to Stew Wells. badg-
ering him to shove all the
problems Of running the Largo
Sports Shop over to partner
Pat Floyd and take me fishing.
It didn't take too much
badgering. Stew likes to fish
and he doesn't get nearly as
many chances as he would like.
Too busy seeing that other
people fish.
But he literally Is right on
top Of the yellow perch situa-
ton. His home at Sylvan
Shores is on a bluff overlooking
the South River, and from his
picture window at the rear Of
the house he can keep tabs on
what is going on.
We Take It Easy
The low pressure aspect Of
our trip started in setting the
time. No. 4:30 am. stuff.
"Oh. Just get down here
about 8 o'clock. We can fish
right back Of the house so
there's no rush about getting |
out" Stew said.
By the time we loafed
through 9 couple Of cups Of |
coffee 1t was after 9 O'Clock be-
fore we finally got on the
water.
1t was dead calm when we
headed out for q bar in the
South River about half mile up
from the house. But before we
could get there the wind began
TO rise a little.
Our equipment was very
light, small reels, light rods and
4-pound test line. We were US
ing spinners with a bull min
now on the hook beneath the
spinner.
There's an art to catching
perch" Stew advised. Cast
and reel In slowly, just fast
