Others still stick to the good old days and list baseball as the best of them all. Many are strong for basketball and ever growing are the ranks of those who wait hopefully for softball season to roll around. Hockey, soccer, golf, tennis and even pmg.pong (now dignified as table tennis) have their devotees. But greatest in number are those who Bay there was never a sport like fishing. In the United States there are about 6,000,000 licensed fishermen, a number of act&e-H followers which no other sport can claim. They are a varied group but the philosophers attd uh hall we say slight ex aggeratory run higher than In any other sport. From the time of King Pi of Egypt, whom historians credit with the dis covery of fishing with a rod and reel, fishermen have been among the happiest of mortals. The history of angling (pisca tology. to the scientists) is not definite about the origins of the Catching 'Em Is Declared a Minor Issue To' the real sportsman fisher man, the catch is secondary to the pleasure, ' fellowship and good health derived from getting out of doors, with other anglers, Lieu tenant Walter ' Lansing of the state police told Salem Lions club at its noon luncheon yesterday. If fishermen would give more con sideration te these -accompani ments to the' sport, regulatory laws,. he said, would not be. re quired. " , But todaj, opening of the trout season, the weather man's hand will be more powerful than the lawmakers in. limiting catches, Lansing added, with a smile. Heavy, rains have rolled many of we coast- and valley streams to the point where it will be little use for : the- fishermen ' to visit them today. If there is no further rain." he tlVAMA tha nntM, Streams in the vicinity of Salem may yieia lair catches.

Fishing is answer; some of its history, and records dag up for its devotees. sport and art. That Persia was the first nation to discover that fish are edible is the consensus of opinion among the delvers in ancient tomes and in the heiro glyphics of ancient tombs, how ever. That was about 6000 years ago and the Persian Fish Fry and Whist club soon became a bright spot in the night life around the Tigris and Euphrates. The Assyrians took up the sport soon afterward. The Chi nese didn't get around to it until 000 B. C. but with orien tal Ingenuity quickly doped out more ways of luring the canny fish than any other race has ever been able to equal. About 500 B. C. the Jews took out' a license and are reported to have had considerable luck in the Sea of Galilee. One . Jonah still holds the record for the biggest fish story ever told. .Fishermen have always been proud of hauling out a weightier specimen than the next man. They hare also been proud of having a longer one that got away- than any other angler. As a mark for some of the ambitious anglers who will go forth this morning with an empty creel to angle at: here are the .existing official world's records for fresh water trout caught with a: rod and reel: .-.'

Eligibility rules will be the same as last year with boys who will not be 17 before June 30, 1935, permitted to play the en tire season. All proof of eligi bility must be In affidavit form If an Ineligible player is found on a state championship team after the team has been certified to the national office of the Am erican Legion that player alone will be disqualified. If the dis covery Is made before certifica tion, however, the entire team will be declared ineligible.

Ten Willamette basketball play ers and a manager have been rec ommended by Coach R. 8. Keene for sweater awards.

Today's battle, centered in a panel discussion of rules inter pretation, saw the east, led by Nay Holman of the city college of New York, fighting a losing battle against the rest of the country. Holman, for Instance, suggested that the pivot post man be re stsained to the foul line so as to avoid pushing, shoving and Jock eying on that play, "but was steam rollered by the rest of the dele gates, who decided to stick to the present system of leaving fouls on that formation up to the discre tion of h& referee. Something may be done on the pivot post play, however, when the commit tee. meets tomorrow. John Bunn, Stanford, took up the proposal to reduce the use of the center Jump. The four south ern teams of the Pacific coast con ference experimented last season with the flan to reduce the use of the center Jump by automatically giving the ball to the team Just Bcored upon, he said, with excep tional results.

Although stormy and cloudy weather the past two days has bettered the odds for the fish to keep off the hook, a large num ber of anglers will go forth early today with chances of fair suc cess in most localities. Throughout the Willamette val ley, with' the exception of Linn county, the Oregon game com mission has reported that fishing will be good. Linn county streams were still high and muddy yes terday but in this vicinity most of the trout streams are st a norm al level and fishing should fill up the frying pans. Coast streams are expected to be in good shape for anglers al though it is predicted that bait fishing will bring better results than the use of flies. Most Ore gon lakes will also be ready for their quota of fishermen. Much Tackle Sold Sporting goods stores have been moving a large amount of angling equipment and there has been a good sale of fishing li cences. Although the number of opening day fishermen will not' be as great as it would have been had there been fine weather this week, many anglers are expected to be out early this morning to get the first crack at the best streams. One important change has been made in the fishing laws this year, a reduction in the bag limit. The catch for one day this season is limited to IS pounds and one fish, but not to exceed 20 fish In one day. For seven consecutive days the catch is limited to 30 pounds and one fish, not to exceed 40 fish. Last season the limit was 30 fish or 20 pounds and one fish in any day.
