IDAHO SPORTSMEN WILL MEET TODAY Election of Fish and Game Association Officers at Idaho Falls. Spee'al to The Tribune. IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, March 19.- Eastern Idaho's Fish and Game Pro­tective association, composed of sportsmen's clubs from this section; of Idaho, will meet Sunday in the ' green room of the Manhattan to elect j officers for 1927 and to discuss the , sporting situation of Idaho. The! meeting is called by G. H. Telford, president of the association. The program will be given over to ! location of a proposed $50,000 fed- ] eral fish hatchery which will be built j in Idaho, the construction of rearing ponds and the buck deer law, which j Is expected to call for active legis- : lation in two years. Recently the organization was in- , strumental in obtaining passage of j meritorious fish and game laws that | allow Snake river to become navi- ! gable for fishermen, and in having a j trespass law that would have affect- ; ed many sportsmen and given "big interests" a monopoly on game in | certain territorities, amended. MANDELL TO FIGHT. LOS ANGELES, March 19.-Sammy Mandell, lightweight boxing champion, was signed here today to meet Jackie Fields, local lightweight, in a 12-round no-decision bout at Wrigley Field here April 4. They will fight at 135 pounds. Frankie Darren Hal "Pewee" Jensen, Denver pu­gilistic star, will meet some of Utah's best competition tomorrow night when he clashes with Frankie Darren in the six-round headliner of the Manhattan club bouts at the Hip­podrome theater. The bout stands out as the "natural" of the sea­son, in view of Jensen's sensational! win over Frankie Barnes last Mon-j day night. (Adv.) • National Guard Stages Shoot Spee'al to The Tribune. TWIN FALLS, Idaho, March 19.- Members of E company, 116th engi­neers, Twin Falls unit of the Idaho national guard, last night took part in the first of a series of indoor target shoots that are to be con­ducted in preparation for shooting the regular course on the outdoor range later in the spring. Shooting was done on an indoor range that has been constructed in the American Legion building and was supervised by Sergeant Thomp­son, instructor, and officers of the company. Indoor target rifles of regulation size and weight, but shoot­ing only a .22-caliber cartridge are used for this work. Arrangements are being worked out for a number of competitive indoor shoots in which members of the guard unit will compete with mem­bers of the American Legion and also with members of the Twin Falls Rifle club. TRIAL SHOOT TO END TODAY Utahns Put Final Touches In on International Tries. The Salt Lake Rifle and Revolver club members fired their record match last Sunday for the international try- outs for Rome. Only five members shot the full course; those who did not finish will do so today at the Fort Douglas range. About ten men from out-of-town clubs completed their strings for record, some of them show­ing up very well. The target used is the international target, fired at 300 yards. The bulls- eye or ten-ring is less than four inches in diameter and is extremely hard to hit, making a high score very difficult to attain. Several of the club mem­bers, however, have succeeded in registering tens quite frequently and may be rated as high men of this corps area. The indoor range has been very well patronized the past week. Several new members tried out their pet shoot­ing irons on the pistol range. While any gun may be used on the ranges, the favorite seems to be the .22 auto­matic. It was with this type of gun in that Charley Sales won first place in the free pistol matches and indus­trial national championship matches. Several novel events are being ar­ranged for on the indoor and outdoor pistol ranges. Such matches as the "triangular hanging record match" will be shot at by the highest score men of the club, while the "hit the hammer" match will be fired at by the tyros, or beginners. Outdoor pis­tol targets are also being prepared for the 15, 25 and 50-yard ranges. Val­uable medals are presented to win­ners of these events, and it is ex­pected that the local pistol team will garner a good share of them. Rhyne Hits Well in Exhibition Tilt SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.-(By the Associated Press.) - Pittsburgh unleashed a terrific batting cannonade today to crush the San Francisco Missions under a 14-1 score in the opening game of their exhibition series here. Left and right handers looked alike to the Pirates and the 1925 world's champions clicked out eighteen hits from the offerings of four twirlers working for the Pacific Coast league team. All of the Pittsburgh regu­lars hit safely at least once, with Grantham from first base, Cuyler, centerfield, Traynor, third base, and Rhyne, shortstop, registering three each. In the third inning Cuyler leaned on one for a home run with one on base, while Rose, Missions left fielder, followed suit in the fourth with another over the right field fence. Lee Meadows, pitching the first four innings for the Pirates, allowed four hits and one run, while John Mor­rison, who replaced him, held the Missions scoreless and dished out but two safe blows. BASKETBALL GAME GIVES IDAHOANS CHANCE TO ADVERTISE THEMSELVES Gem State Will Go on the Air at Hastings, Ne­braska During Week. Spee'al to The Tribune. TWIN FALLS, Idaho, March 19.- During the time the Buhl high school northwestern champion basket­ball sextet is contesting for national honors on the maple court in Wichi­ta, Kan., March 23 to 26, short ad­dresses dealing with Idaho's mani­fold opportunities and resources will be broadcast from station KFKX at Hastings, Neb., it was announced here this morning. One-half hour of each evening that the Buhl team is playing at Wichita will be devoted by the Hastings sta­tion to an Idaho program, according to advices from the station manage­ment received here. Musical program continuing for twenty minutes, furnished by talent in the employ of the station, will be dedicated to Idaho, and during ten minutes' intermission between halves of the game Idaho's spokesman on these occasions will bo given oppor­tunity to broadcast Idaho's story. These programs will be broadcast each evening that Buhl girls con­tinue in the tournament, and in the event of their triumph, which is not doubted by any loyal Idahoan, four such programs will be sent out to radio audiences throughout the coun­try. Twin Falls' county realty board has appropriated a substantial sum to­ward meeting the expense in connec­tion with the broadcast. Twin Falls' contributions to the Buhl girls' basketball fund, outside the appropriation made by the realty board, totaled $350, according to an accounting made last evening by Asher B. Wilson of Twin Falls to Jess O. Eastman of Buhl. This Channel Catfish in Utah at Last H ere are three views of channel catfish, which have recently been found in Utah. These fish are from the Colorado river near Moab. The channel catfish is often called the '' barbed trout." It is not a trout, how­ever, despite its trouty looking body. The fish grows to a size of five pounds. The general run is about a pound and one-half apiece.. The fish are game and take spinners, rarely flies. EffoE will be made to stock other waters with them. MOAB COLUMBUSES DISCOVER CATFISH Senator Patterson and Bob Clark Deliver Channel Species. After fish planters of various po­litical parties have tried for more than twenty years to get channel catfish started in Utah and have failed, a whole flock-if channel cats come in flocks-appear in the Colo­rado river. Just where they came from or how long they have been there is a question which evi Sher­lock Holmes will not be able to an­swer. 4 The channel catfish is the elite of the catfish family of about twenty- five species, according to many spec­ialists. It is a native of the larger rivers on the Mississippi system. It is considered the garnest of the catfish and is the finest ea.ting of any of the catfish. It weighs five pounds maximum but the general run is about a pound and a half. Channel catfish made their ap­pearance in the Colorado river near Moa.b last year. They made their ap­pearance in Salt Lake a. week ago through the activities of State Senator Knox Patterson and Bob Clark of Moab. Dave Madsen, state fish and game commissioner, was deprecating the fact, that he had been unsuccess­ful in his many attempts to get some channel catfish for Utah. Senator Patterson announced that the citizens of Moa.b had channel catfish any time they chose to fish for them. Madsen refused to believe it and Bob Clark, Moab business man, was' asked to submit the evidence. This Clark did and the two fish are in the aquarium at the state capital at the present time. No one can give a suitable an­swer as to the origin of the Colorado river channel catfish. Four years ago a whole carload of catfish was im­ported from the east, but there were less than a hundred channels in the lot. Other efforts have ended the same way. Eight years ago some one, name unknown, planted some fish in the Colorado river near Moab. It is barely possible that these fish are from the ones planted then. Or it is possible that the handful planted four years ago has multiplied and grown. Anyway, they are there. In 1918 the bureau of fisheries planted some catfish there and many believe this plant is just ma.terializing. Commissioner Madsen is going to get a few of the fish from the Moab waters and place them in the state hatchery for breeding purposes. Inci­dentally, he owes the ice cream sodas to Senator Patterson and to Bob Clark. WORK OF RECLAIMING SHOOTING GROUNDS TO BE STARTED SOON Idaho Coeds Beat C. U. Shooters Special to The Tribune. UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, MOS­COW, March 19.-Winning one and losing two matches last week, the Idaho coed rifle team members closed their regularly scheduled season with the1 intercollegiate match being the only one now on the schedule. Idaho defeated the University of California, 1875 to 1846. The Idaho girls lost to the Univer­sity of Kansas girls, who went six­teen points over Idaho, getting 1891, while the University of Washington team made five perfect scores with a total for the meet of 1888. Matches have been fired against the Oregon Agricultural college and Purdue, but the final scores have not been an­nounced at this time. The intercollegiate match, spon­sored by Dot and Circle at North­western university, will be fired March 21 to 25. amount was contributed for the most part by Twin Falls business and professional men and Includes a do­nation of $25 made Thursday by the Twin Falls high school student body. Lesley Golf Cup Play Spreading; Canada Coming NEW YORK, March 19.-Sectional golf for the Lesley cup is going to spread out. Heretofore it has beer, confined to metropolitan, Massachu­setts and Pennsylvania representa­tions, but at no distant date Canada seems certain to be included, thereby making it a four-cornered aiffair. The idea was first suggested by H. Y. Barrows during his farewell re­marks as president at the annual meeting of the M. G. A. in this city last December, and, judging from what has since transpired, it may be said that the suggestion did not fall upon deaf ears. The matter was taken up by officials of the three as­sociations, all of whom approved. It also was called to the attention of Robert Lesley, donor of the trophy, Who likewise gave the idea his sanc­tion. Then followed an invitation to Can­ada, Which brought an unofficial ac­ceptance, so that, from the way the situation stands at present, it ap­pears as good as settled that, the com­ing season will see a Canadian team competing for the Lesley cup. DUCHESNE BASKETBALL. Spee'al to The Tribune. ROOSEVELT, March 19.-For the second consecutive time the seventh and eighth grades of the Duchesne high school have j trounced the hitherto victorious Aggie quin- j tet of the same school. After administer- j ing a 17-10 beatiog to the Aggies Wednesday, the Bulldogs came back Thursday and j walloped them even more decisively, 42-26. ! N. Murphy again starred for the losers, with j his brother, Paul, and Eldredge starring for j the winners. Construction of Huge Dike Begins April 1; to Continue Two Months. Reclamation of more than two thou­sand acres of choice hunting and trapping grounds at the mouth of the Jordan river from the briny clutches of the overflow of Great Salt lake is to begin on April 1, when the construction of a gigantic dike to stop the overflow will begin. The project, which is to be con­ducted under the direction and super­vision of the Jordan Fur & Reclama­tion Company, Inc., the owner of the land, will cpntinue for approximate­ly two months, when it is expected that a dike more than four and a half miles long will be completed. DIKE HUGE. This dike, which is to be four feet high, with a width varying from twen­ty feet at the bottom to a much nar­rower space at the top, is expected to effectually release more than two thousand acres of the corporation's ground from the salt water which now covers the greater portion of it. The dike is to be constructed from dirt, and salt grass is to be trans­planted upon the dirt. This grass acts as an aid in preserving the. dike itself, according to the officials in charge. The grounds committee of the Jor­dan Fur & Reclamation company, for­merly the New State Gun club, an organization of eighty members, Is in charge of the dike construction. The committee consists of Joe Vincent, chairman; Edward S. Holt and Harry L. Margetts. This club is one of the largest, similar organizations in the state, and, besides providing duck hunting for its members, is actively engaged in the trapping business. The corporation marketed 1200 muskrat skins during the past season for a price reputed to approximate two thousand dollars, and, according to Mr. Vincent, the reclamation of the lost ground is expected to increase the sale of muskrat to six to eight thousand dollars annually. Forty shooting posts are laid out on the duck hunting grounds, providing one post for each pair of hunters. A ca­pacious clubhouse is also situated on the grounds. LAKE RECEDING. Great Salt lake, which reaches its maximum and minimum rise and fall at intervals of twenty years, is now receding, having reached the highest point in the cycle some two years ago. At that time the overflow of the lake waters onto the six thousand acres of the club's property de­stroyed the vegetation on nearly two- thirds of the best shooting grounds of the Club. The loss of vegetation upon which the ducks feed, rendered this land practically useless for hunt­ing purposes, and the havoc wrought by the salt waters have occasioned the action by the club. With the brim- water diked off, a flood of fresh wa­ter from the Jordan river will be spread over the land and the vegeta­tion is expected to restore itself "in a period of about one year. Undoubtedly other duck clubs in the vicinity will follow the example of the Reclamation company and re­claim their shooting lands from the salt Water. Los Angeles A. C. Beats Golden Bears BERKELEY, Calif., March 19.-(By the Associated Press.)-The Los An­geles Athletic club today smothered the University of California track and field stars under a score of 85 to 46 in the dual meet held on California oval. Charles Paddock and Bob Maxwell, both of the invading southern team, tieu tor high point nonorsi with two first places apiece, the two supplying twenty points to the clubmen's total. Paddock made the 100 yards in 9 4-5 seconds and he covered the 220 yards in 21 4-5 seconds. IDAHO FALLS TO SPONSOR MEET Plan Is to Build Running Track Around Ball Park. Spee'al to The Tribune. IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, March 19.- High school track teams of upper Snake River valley high schools will hold a district cinder path meet in Idaho Falls May 7, according to plans being made by athletic heads of the schools. The meet will bring every high school in the upper valley with track aspirants into competition for entry in the state event. Plans of local high school coaches and sportsmen are to convert the out­side of Highland park field into a track that will be used in all high school and district meets. Construc­tion of the track will be planned so that it will not interfere with base­ball or football playing. Permission to construct the track will be asked of city officials and baseball execu­tives. Cinders for the path that the winged shoes of high school teams will fly over will be donated to the high school by the Oregon Short Line as an encouragement to athletics. Cost of the permanent track would be nominal, proponents confess, and they feel that city officials will im­mediately indorse the plan, which will make Idaho Falls the permanent center of spring tradk activities and bring several hundred persons to the city for one day each year. Tiger prospects for 1927 remain sub-rosa until weather rottles enough to allow consistent' workouts and training. Coach Lauderdale has a number of likely candidates who are left from last season and plenty of promising material, it is learned. Schools of the upper valley have in­timated that competition will be keen. Several dual and triangular meets will be held before the district meet in May. FIVE MAJOR CHANGES ARE MADE IN STATE FISH AND GAME CODE Seining in Utah Lake Stopped; Bait Law Tightened; Short Season Five major changes Avere written into the game laws of Utah by the leg­islators in their recent session. There were changes made in the license fee, seining is stopped in Utah lake vir­tually until the law is changed, the fishing season was shortened one month (Strawberry and Fish lakes remain the same) and stringent rules have been made regarding the taking of catfish. Additional pressure was applied to the use of salmon eggs, etc. The general policy was to "bear down," but in the, case of trapping, the season was lengthened by two weeks on each the fall and spring periods. The new license law requires that a man who just wants to fish may pur­chase a fishing license for two dol­lars; those who hunt may purchase a hunting license for two dollars. A man who wishes to do both may get a license for three dollars. But a man who buys orie can not buy the second for the additional dollar. The hunt­ing license .permits the hunting of deer and all other game animals. The fishing season opens at the same time, June 15, in streams, but it closes on the evening of October 30 instead of November 30 as formerly. Strawberry and Fish lake angling ends on October 20 as formerly. Taking of catfish is allowed at any season of the year, but the angler is required to use a line bearing not more than two hooks. Only one out­fit is allowed per person. Set lines are prohibited. The sale of Utah cat­fish will not be allowed and all restau­rants or dealers handling catfish will be forced to give evidence of ship­ment into the state. These same rules obtain for trout and bass. The law regarding baits reads: Provided, further, it shall be un­lawful to use as bait or have In pos­session any fish eggs, fish spawn or imitation thereof, or for any person, corporation or eompanny to have in possession or sell or offer for sale any salmon eggs or other fish eggs or im­itation thereof. It shall be unlawful to have attached to a hook a.s a bait or lure In the act of angling, any substance of material excepting the following: Any kind of natural in­sect, worm or fly, any kind of small fish, excepting game fish as speci­fied in this act: any kind of artificial fly, artificial insect, artificial min­now; or any kind of spinner, wab- bler, or other artificial bait or lure not otherwise prohibited by this act. Provided, further, that it sihall be un­lawful to deposit in any of the waters of this state any meat, fish eggs, or any other sort of bait or food sub­stance for the purpose of chumming or baiting the waters or so a,s to in­duce or cause fish to gather. The word "artificial" as used in connec­tion with the baits and lures enumer- Dartmouth Wins Eastern Title PHILADELPHIA, March 19.-(By the Associated Press.)-Dartmouth came from behind tonight and de­feated Princeton, 26 to 24, In a play­off game for the intercollegiate bas­ketball championship of the eastern division. Tied with the Tigers at the close of the regular season, Dart­mouth proved unbeatable tonight and for the first time in its history cap­tured the league title. Tonight's defeat sent Princeton into second place in the league race, with Columbia and Pennsylvania tied for third. Langdell, ianky center and star foot­ball end, saved the day for Dart­mouth in the last two minutes of play when he shot two field goals. ated In this act is hereby defined as meaning lure or bait constructed of any non-edible material. The seining law will read that no seining whatever will be allowed in Utah lake before 1929. At this time seining will be allowed for two months each year, from Otcober 1 to Novem­ber 30. This is a slack season for sale of fish and it is doubtful if any man could make it pay, Commissioner Madsen fcays. This virtually closes Utah lake to the commercial seine until the law Is changed. The fish and game department was anxious to have the seining on Utah lake closed for purely economic rea­sons, Madsen says. Due to a long cycle of dry years, Utah lake has receded to such an extent that it is virtually impossible for catfish, bass and carp to propagate. The water has become so warm in summer that trout fishing is out of the question. With the water low and with all seines working the supply of fish in the lake is rapidly dwindling to nothing, the commissioner says. In­vestigations show that manyl poultry raisers have discontinued the use of carp for feed and have substituted fish meal. Hence these persons are not directly interested. Those who do feed carp to chickens would have to quit feeding through lack of ma­terial within a very short time any­way, according to Madsen. With lots of water in the hills and with the seining closed, it looks as though the Utah lake low water era is over for a while and the lake fish will probably make a good comeback. The com­missioner may permit seining in Bear river and Green river. The license law further provides: $5 traoping license for residents of Utah $7.50 fishing license for aliens (not good for hunting); $10 nonresi­dent license, for fishing and small game hunting (not good for deer hunting; $15 nonresident big game li­cense, for deer and bear; $3 nonresi­dent license, for fishing only. Utah does not provide a short sea­son license for fishing or hunting. No license is provided for hunting elk. Elk season and fee for hunting Is in hands of state game refuge com­mittee.
