FISHING GOOD IN HOOSIER STATE International News Service Fishing in Indiana this summer seems to be better than in .many years according to reports reaching IndlanapoLs today from many parts of tlie state. Hoosier fishermen need not leave the stute to look for good fishing. It seems to be right in their ‘ buck yards ” as the following reports indicate: Evansville—Curley Kinder caught a 35-ponnd cat fish in the Ohio river on an ordinary fishing line. It took Kinder nearly 30 minutes to land the big fallow'. Tt}y cat fish measured four feet in length. Skillful handling of his line enabled Kinder Ao hold the big fish despite the weak line he had. Madison—A cat fish weighing 27 ipounds and measuring 38 inches in length was caught by Ed Andres at the Hanover Bathing beach in the Ohio river near here. The huge fish was caught on a trout line Andres siaged a community fish fry at the beach last night U» which everybody was invited Winona Lake—A huge gar, measuring 42 inches in length was landed in Winona lake by E. A. K. Hackett, a vacationist. It took Hackett 20 minutes to bring the big fellow to shore. Even then the fish bit the line In two and Hackett had to beat his catch with an oar to prevent the gar from flopping bm k into the water. Rochester — Constable George Downs assisted by Charles Richmond has set a fishing record here that well last a long time. The two men went fishing in Sinks lake. On his first cast Downs snagged a 21-2 pound bass. As he was pulling the bass to the boat a 17-pound turtle stiuck at the bass and got hooked. Downs landed both bass and turtle and then quit fishing.

Golf I Sport Fever I Baseball Swimming g Flaying consistent, but brilliant golf with a few sparkling shots mixed in, Walter Hagen, British open champion, paired with Cheater Nelson, professional at the Fort Wayne Country club, defeated Guy Means and Guy Beckett in a best ball four-some at the Fort Wayne Country club yesterday afternoon, 4 and 3. The Haig, shooting at par figures nearly all the way, was three strokes under par for the 18 holes. lie had a score of 69, going out in 34 and coming in with a 35. Chet Nelson had a 75, taking a par 36 for the first nine and a 39 for the second. Guy Means had 3940 for a 79 while Guy Beckett had two 40's for an evefi 80. Hagen had five birdies over the 18 holes and on only two holes did he go above pur figures. His long drives, accurate approaches and steady putts kept him out of trouble on most of the holes and the large gallery that followed the match saw for the most part an exhibition of consisent golf. However, twice over the 18 holes the Haig was in trouble and on both occasions he made brilliant recoveries that thrilled the crowd. Several Decatur golfers were in the gallery that followed the foursome over the Fort Wayne Country Club links yesterday. Walter "Pete” Hall, of North Webster, all-conference shortstop while playing with the Indiana University Big Ten championship baseball team in 1925, has been appointed athletic director and coach at Hartford City high school. "Pete” received letters in baseball at Indiana in 1925 and 1926 and played varsity basketball in 1926. He received his A. H. degree there in 1926 and since then has liecll doing graduate work at Columbia University. Hall will succeed Don Holwerda, former Purdue basketball star, at Hartford City. “The basketball coaching and basketball officiating schools for coaches and referees will open very shortly in preparation for the first thump of

the leather sphere upon tho hardwood. Piggy Lumbert, the Purdue mentor, will conduct ills annual two-weeks short course at Lake Manituu at Rocheater from August. 13 to 25, while tlie Feezle-liinkie officiating school will be held at Fort Wayne on the evenings of August 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24, Basketball is very‘nearly a yearround business for those who are intensely Interested in the pastime. Among tlie notables who will attend the Lambert short course at the lake resort will be Don White, ex-llunting-ton Legionnaire player but now coach of Washington University at St. Louis; Pete Jolly, of the championship Muncie team; Melvin Taube, new Marlon athletic director; Babe Wheeler, new coach at Seymour; and Paul Church, of Hammond.
