Chance Is Down
A few years ago, Dean Chance was looked upon as one of the
great pitchers in the major leagues. Today, however, the
one-budding mounds-man is floundering around with the
American League pitchers in the also-ran category.
Chance, now toiling for the Detroit Tigers, is yet to notch his
first win of the 1971 season. In the Tigers loss to the Boston
Redsox Monday, he absorbed his sixth defeat.
Now Baseball
Is Alone ...
Tuesday night the ABA and NHL ended play for the 1970-71
season, with the Utah Stars winning the ABA title and the
Montreal Canadains taking the NHL title. With these two
basketball and hockey league titles settled the national sports
focus will now be primarily on baseball.
There was a time when baseball from April to October had the
attention of the sports world pretty much to itself. This no longer
is the case for professional basketball and hockey now remain in
the sports highlight during the spring portion of the baseball
season. And if it continues the way it is going now, it might just
happen that baseball will have “company” more than just during
the spring part of the season.
Will It Stick?
Last week it was reported
that Duane Thomas, the Dallas
Cowboys’ outstanding rookie,
has decided to retire from pro
football. If he sticks to this
decision, it will be a tremendous
shock to the Dallas Cowboys, to
professional football and to the
many followers of the game.
Contract difficulties have been
given as the reason for this
shaking decision.
This writer feels that there
has been a little premature
decision-making by Thomas,
the 1970 rookie-of-the year.
Somehow it is felt from this
corner that the Cowboy’s star,
who was the prime reason for

You’ve probably admired
someone who always seems to
bring home big stringers of
fish and wondered how he
does it. You wonder, does he
never come home fishless?
Are there anglers who never
fail to catch a fish? Perhaps, I
don’t know. I can’t prove it.
However, I doubt seriously
that this is so.
Let’s be realistic, huh?
Who’s going to talk about
those days when they don’t
catch fish .. .or get game
when hunting? If you did,
you’d be laying yourself in for
plenty of ribbing from friends.
Yet, I don’t know anyone who
can honestly say they have
never come home fishless, and
I know some mighty good
anglers.
Os course, these are the
fellows who are least likely to
be skunked, and when they do
hit into the fish, they are just

Calvin Hill being relegated to
bench duty during most of the
1970 season, will change his
mind before many days will
have passed and sign his 1971
contract. Who will be the prime
mover in this change of decision
remains to be seen. Somewhere
along the line somebody is being
stubborn; so something has got
to give. In all probability, it will
be the Cowboys who definitely
will miss Thomas if his
retirement decision sticks.
However, giving in on the part
of the former West Texas State
star is not out of the realm of
probability.

mess, or some right big fish.
On the other hand, there
are quite a number of
fishermen in our midst who
hear others talk about the fine
fishing in our state and
wonder where it all is.. .they
can’t find it. And I’m flooded
with questions. “How can I
catch more fish?”
Well, its going to take a bit
of effort. You’ve done that?
Then we’ll have to try to
channel your efforts into the
right direction. The first
consideration is which species
you’re seeking, and secondly
the waters you fish Learn
something about the kind of
fish you’re after, what their,
habits are and the kind of
places you’d expect to find
them. Be certain that the
waters you are fishing have
good enough populations of
this species to make it worth

trying.
1 don’t mean you should do
all of your fishing in the
world’s most famous bass
waters if you intend on
catching bass. Most of us can’t
spend too much time and
money on long or frequent
trips. Os course, I think some
of our Georgia waters rank
very high on the “best” list.
What I’m saying is, try to
select water close enough you
can go more often.
But let’s say there’s a lake
near you where you fish
frequently, and you know it
has fish in it. But you’re not
catching them. White it’s fun
to travel around to other
waters, you must realize that
unless you fish with a local
expert, strange waters aren’t
likely to produce an
abundance of fish. So your
best bet is to stick to that
“home” lake most of the time
and get to know it well
enough that you increase your
chances of having a good
catch. If you get a good one,
make note of the time, date,

help you get another one
another time. If a spot rarely
or never produces, forget it.
Stick with those that produce
best.
If you’re having no results
at all, try to find someone
who does catch fish there
frequently, who will take you
and show you a few spots.
Remember these spots, but
also don’t fail to notice his
methods .. .what he fishes and
how. What works in one spot
might not somewhere
else.. .then again, it’s worth a
try because it just might work.
Many of us are prone to
stick to shoreline fishing
because we see what appears
to be good cover above the
water. Remember, what’s
above the water doesn’t help
the fish. You’ll have to find
good cover underwater. One
of the very best ways to do
this is look the lake over
thoroughly, marking a map as
you do, when the water is
quit'e low. Best time to do this
is in the winter.
