HO-HCM, THE GOOD OLD DATS
' Ifi a grey, windy, bleak day outside ai we lit down at
the typewriter thit Friday morning, and aomehow the thought
ot fishing or hunting arouses no great urge. Instead, we
remember, wistfully, December days some 0 years ago.
We were stationed on Oahu, the main Island in the Ha
waiian group. The island was a swarm with service men,' and
recreation was hard to come by. However, we had been bitten
by the underwater goggle fishing bug (a deadly tropical dis
ease). So ior a moment, forget the winter winds outside and
go "skin fishing" with us . . .
We hitch a ride on a jeep into Honolulu, then catch a
bus thai takes us to Diamond Head. We hike on a bit further,
descend a steep cliff and were on the shore of beautiful Han
ouma Bay. The weather is warm, a bit muggy in fact, and
we're glad to shed our khakis for swim trunks and goggles.
" We slip lnte the warm lagoon formed br the coral reef,
ad we're immediately a part of a new world. A world
' where colors are so vivid there is no name for them
' where fish of a thousand shapes, colors and hues swim,
nonchalantly, unafraid of ns. In front of us swims a yel
low and black striped fish, somethinf like a perch, bat
with long fan-tike plumes that trail behind him as be
' swims. Just coming around that mound of pink coral Is
a green fish, very much like a black bass except that
he' grinning at us, and wearing the biggest set of false
' teeth imagineable!
WHAT A NAME TO WASTE ON FISH
We're ud for air for a bit, then down again. We're fol
lowing a channel in the coral,
tha reef. A silvery, fat fish of
curls over the edge of the reef
him on our three-pronged spear.
As we lift to the surface to put the fish on our float
atrmger, we see lightning flash of mottled brown and
reen. It's a big Moray eel, excited by the scent of the
weuaded fish. At times, we've had 'em make passes at a
'. flak before we could get it off the spear . . . With their
rows ef aeedle-aharp teeth, they are terrifying creatures.
- More than one swimmer haa stepped too close to the
packet in the coral where a moray lay in wait, and left
'. the spot with the flesh stripped from a to.
HEARK, HEARK A SHARK!
Now we're over the fdge of the reef, and it's so deep the
bottom is obscured by the darkening water Suddenly a long,
ghostly white shape lifts up toward us it's a shark, and while
he may Just be curious, we take no chances. Like all timid
fish, we swim back into the protection of the coral reef.
After several hours of leisurely diving, during which
time we've speared several fish, including a squid, we swim
to shore. We start a small drift wood fire to roast our fish,
aa we sit on the aand, warm, sleepy and contented, the cocoa
nut palms waving with a soft rustle in the trade .vinds, we
think of all the crazy anglers and duck huntrrs In Oregon,
better than two thousand miles east acrora the emerald
ocean . , .
OCR SUGGESTIONS FOR OUTDOOR MAN
Back home again, faced with "cold" reality the duck
hunting has improved, though not as much aa hoped for,
while steelhead fishing on the coast is, for the time being, a
lost cause.
We suggest that you spend this week-end either (1) helping
the missus around the house, or (2) getting your fishing gear
in order, or (3) staying in bed and catching up on your rest.
What about us? We've been insane too long for a .cure. We'll
be somewhere soaking wet, cold and optimistic, waiting for
a duck to come buzzing by . . .
Threat to 2 Prep Players
Blamed on Troublemakers
Indianapolis U Police be
lieved today that "trouble
makers" rather than profes
sional gamblers threatened two
high school basketball players
with Injury if they competed in
a game with a crosstown rival
next week. "
Don Sexson, brother of Pur
due university basketball play
ers Joe Sexson, was the latest
threatened by an unidentified
phone caller. David Huff, a
teammate on the Indianapolis
tech squad, earlier was told
not to play in the Wednesday
tilt against Crispus Attucks.
Parents of the two boys, both
17, tried to persuade the youths
not to play, but the boys indi
cated they would not be scared
out Both were given police
protection and authorities
planned an elaborate guard for
the entire team the night of
the game.
Don was the second member
of his family to receive a
threat. Joe, one of Tech's all
time great cage stars, received
a threatening call two years
ago during the semi-finals of
the state basketball tourney.
He played any wiy, and
chalked up a creditable total
In the scoring column.
Don received his threat sec
ond hand from a caller who
contacted Mrs. Leonard Huff,
David's mother, and said: -
"Tell you son to tell Don he
will get the same thing if he
Plays."
