The real antler of this family, my wife, had made? plans with Mr. it Mrs. L. B. Foree of this city to go on a fishing trip over the last week end. Lunch was planned. Many fish were caught here in the Living room before the week end. Tackle was gone over waders were examined for leaks. (They always leak). "Now If it will just stop being foggy well have a swell time." $ Ten know what? Well .... being an expert on fishing (TT) I managed to coerce several reliable sources of Information to give ut with the dope that fishing was Just no good. No nse going over to the coastal streams. Water was too low and clear. No fish In. So on Friday evening the trip was postponed. We'd sit homo and wait until things were Just right I was the recipient of dagger looks i and snide remarks. Somebody Talked at Wrong ' On Saturday morning one of the fishing gestapo crossed me up. He'd been over Friday and had really hit the jack pot on silvers and had taken one steelhead (in the party) and we were crazy if we didn't go over and fish the Nestucca river come Sunday. ; Tho trip wis on again. Tear fishing editor was a ?no-good. Ho dldnt know what be was talking about. All he was trying to do was to keep people from going fishing so they wouldn't break any more records. (Not his). j : And the Weather Didn't Cooperate I ' Bven the elements were against me. On Sunday , morning It was not foggy enough to keep us home. Then to top it off the sun was pouring down its warmth all day long. It was just like Florida is rated to bo when tho hurricanes don't blow. By that time I was really getting the business from all aides. - t i Well ... I knew a spot that not many fishermen went to so we went there. Someone had loused tho trail up since last trip In. A small lorrlng operation had felled trees all over the place. Did you ever try and stumble and grumble your way throurh an area of downed timber? We fell off logs. Limbs snapped up and cracked bs across the shins. It took us a half hour to re less than half a mile. We discovered later that you can drive rlrht to the spot. Ton oaa well Imagine that by this time I was really In turn favor. Wife Shows Up Hubby I ! Only one thing to do. I did It I caught a nice 14H lb. silver sal mon. No one said a word. I was feeling high again. Not for long, how ever. The ever loving wife bandged into three salmon and landed one 16 lb. silver. All this goes to prove just one thing. The best time to go fishing it when you can get away to go. It also hints quite strongly that when your wife plans a fishing trip with the neighbors, you'd better put a couple of strips of scotch tape over your mouth and re main silent Especially when your wife is liable to outfisU you. I was determined to get even. I went back ever again Monday with Monroe Cheek and Emory Lebold. I took first fish, a nice SVi lb. silver as bright as a new dollar. On the way back to the car for lunch we had to cross the river. I suspect Lebold and : Cheek of trickery Conspiracy? ,J- ; j 1 f With the fish In one hand and my rod in the other I followed the leader. There was a narrow ledge of smooth: rock that angled across the river. Right in the middle of the heaviest current that old down stream foot began to slip on the smooth bottom. Now I don't come from a family of acrobats and can't do the splits. I especially can't do the splits in the middle of a cold river my sneaky upstream foot auto matically stepped forward. It deliberately picked out a spot that was twice as slippery as where it had been. Both j feet began to slide with the current. The ledge suddenly dipped in a I little vertical slide. The two guides looked over their shoulders Just in time to see yours truly stick his head up out of the water like a porpoise. The; fish slipped out of my hands. I grabbed it and hugged it. Nothing is less romantic than bugging a dead wet fish in the middle of the river. When I made shore I had my breath back. Pockets were full of water. My waders which did not leak for the first time in a dozen trin wpr full ni ivatn- Cold water. I had to take off most of my clothes and wring them out and put them back on. My teeth could have doubled for; castanets. Every step back to the car was a sodden affair. Water squished inside the Waders. j I i Do you think for a minute that I was crazy enourh to con tinue fishing? Well . . . I was. The trip ended at dark. I was still " wet but had two fish landed. Three lost One of them a nice brirht steelhead. Lebold landed an lYt lb. steelhead. Cheek, whom I suspect of belnr the one responsible for my ducking caught noth ing.

The New York Yankees knocked the Los Angeles Dons out of any chance for a playoff spot in the All-American conference with a fourth-quarter 17-16 victory. It was a close call for the Yanks who scored all 17 points in the last quarter and eked out a win by blocking the Dons' try for the point after a touchdown tnat came in the final 30 seconds. The Dons gave the sparse turn out of 20,096 a thrill when George Taliaferro returned a Yank punt 52 yards for a touchdown with less than a half minute to go- Van Davis and Jack Russell charged through to block the try for the extra and tying point. The Cleveland Browns slammed over two touchdowns in the first 10 minutes on a snowy gridiron at Soldier field to down the Chi cago Hornets, li-6, before 5,031 fans.

Marion Motley scored from the six to climax a 63-yard march later in the period. As Cleveland already had clin ched first place and a conference playoff berth, they didn't have much at stake.
