WILDLIFE n
oLined

Choosng tackle is one of the most difficult jobs that faces
the beginning angler. Probably more has been written on
this phase of fishing in outdoor literature than any other,
but its importance justifies the space devoted to the sub
ject. With trout season opening on April 30, it’s about time
to get down to your tackle store and select an outfit. The
first thing to consider is what type of fishing you wish to do.
Three Types of Angling
There are three main types of fishing: fly fishing, spin
ning. and bait casting. Since bait casting is rarely used for
trout fishing, we will leave it out of this discussion.
Fly fishing is a method employing a fly rod and fly line
whereby the weight of the line furnishes the momentum to
carry the lure to its target. The lighter the lure, the. bet
ter it casts. Spinning is a method of casting a light lure
and a thread-like line on a fixed spool reel.
Let’s now consider you. the fisherman, and see which of
these methods will best fit your situation. We like to think
of trout fishermen as either small stream fishermen, large
stream and river fishermen, or lake and pond fishermen. We
believe that fly fishing outfit holds the spotlight on small
streams. Even if you fish with bait (one .of the best lures
for small streams), we feel the fly rod has the edge.
Fly Rig Improves Control
Tbe fisherman has better control of his tackle with a fly
outfit and on small meandering brooks, this is a necessity.
Here, you do not need the long effortless casts of the spin
ning rig. If you picture yourself in waders, chest deep in
.some large stream or river, the picture changes. Here, both
methods have their followers.
If the stream has many inaccessible spots, where you
cannot wade, the spinning rod is better. The rifle-like casts
obtained with the spinning reel aUow you to search out the
inaccesible pockets in the river lied. If you can wade the
river, one method will work as well as the other. Bait can
be cast on both outfits, but those deep running wobblers
and spinners that pay off on lunker trout, can best be cast
with the spinning outfit.
When trolling the high Cascade lakes, a fairly stiff rod is
preferable. We like to use the spinning outfit for trolling,
since the monofilament line cuts through the water with less
friction, giving more depth with'less weight. But if we are
fishing in a lake where the trout are liable to start rising
during the evening hatch, we prefer to have our fly rod rigged
with a dry fly.
Spinning Rod Gives Distance
If you’re fishing your favorite lake or pond from shore, the
spinning rod definitely has the advantage. You cannot reach
far enough with the fly rod.
Another factor to consider when choosing your tackle
is whether you’ll use your outfit for fish other than trout.
If you’re going to fish for steelhead, bass or salmon along
with trout, by all means get a spinning rig. A beginner can
do a better job of handling these larger fish with a spinning
rod because of the friction clutch drag.
In summary, we’d say that generally' the spinning outfit
is the more versatile beginning rig. If you plan to fish small
streams where long casts are not needed, a fly rod will then
prove to be the best outfit.

Shaw Paces
Duck Batters
Centerfielder George Shaw,
three times all-Northern Division
and twice all-coast for Oregon
baseball teams, has taken the
lead in hitting for the Ducks aft
er five early spring games.
Shaw is one of four Webfoot
diamond performers to post a
.400-plus average for the
spring trip games to Califor
nia. His .450 average for th«
trip was topped only by part
time rightflelder Bernle Aver
ilt. whose three hits in six trips
gives him a .500 mark.
Veteran Firstbaseman Dick
Schlosstein racked up a .412
average while Johnny Keller,
junior shortstop, has an even .400
batting percentage. Shaw domi
nates most of the offensive de
partments with six runs, two
triples, and one home run.
Schlosstein heads the nins
batted-in column for the early
part of the season with five to
I his credit on the strength of his
j seven hits which include a double
and a home run. Pete Williams,
thinlbaseman-pitcher, has the
squad's other homer.
Although the squad as a
whole hit fairly well during
the trip, posting a .2*0 aver
age. the fielding and hitting
reflected the poor weather for
early practice sessions. The
team made 11 errors in the five
games and only Terry Maddox
of the front line pitchers post
ed a respectable earned run
average. —

Baseball Opener
Today’s scheduled home base
ball opener against Portland uni
versity has been officially post
poned because of wet grounds
and rain. The game will be made
up Tuesday when the Ducks will
play two seven inning games
against the Pilots at Portland,
instead of the single nine in
ning game originally scheduled.
Friday’s game against Wil
lamette at Salem is still listed,
but probably will be cancelled
because of the weather. A double
header is scheduled for Saturday
when the Webfoots plan to
travel to Portland to play Lewis
and Clark college.
Bob Houbregs of Washington
holds the Northern Division rec
ords for points in a single game,
getting 49 in an Idaho game in
1953.
Track Marks
Called Slow
By CHRIS EDMONDS
BERKELEY. Calif. (AT) The
world record for the two-mlle
run la nlm* seconds too alow, a
University of California scientist
said Tuesday.
What's more, Dr. Franklin M.
Henry said in an Interview, a
good many other Improvements
are possible in existing records. |
As a matter of fact, the only.
current world marks faster than '
he figured them are In the 800 j
meters, 880 yards and one mile
and the last two were set after
he worked out his formula.
Ur. Henry I* a professor of
physical education and re
search associate In medical
physics at California. He lutscs
his predictions on a complicat
ed study of the psyslological
factors that determine runnlnK
ability—the muscle energy
supply system.
"It involves an equation be
tween running speed and the
body's ability to overrome Its
own inertia and to carry out cer
tain energy-releasing, physio
logical-chemical reactions that
take place in the muscles." he
said.
Boiled down, that means that
every human possesses certain
energy factors which can be re
placed as they are used through
exercise. A runner, naturally,
uses more energy and conse
quently replaces it faster than a
fan in the stands.
A year ago Dr. Henry pre
dicted that the mile would be
run only .8 per cent slower
than the 8..J8 with which John
Candy set the world record last
summer.
Last Saturday when Lon Spur
rier, former Cal track captain
now running for the San Fran
cisco Olympic club, set a new
880-yard record time of 1:47.5,
Dr. Hemy was on hand. The
mark, which has been submitted
for official recognition, actually
was 2.2 seconds faster than he
had predicted for the distance.
“There are two reasons, I think,
for the fact that both the mile
and the 880 have been run fast
er than my formula showed." he
mused.
"One is the possibility that
runners, in these cases Landy
and Spurrier were not using
their energy quite as rapidly as
the formula shows. The other is
that there are new techniques of
running being developed which
enable a man to cover his dis
tance in fractionally better
time.”
