Comes From Nowhere to Win
High, Low Championships
at A. A. U. Meet.
By the Associated Press.
NEW HAVEN. Conn., April 12
Out of Pittsburgh, by way of
Ohio State University, has
come the newest sensation in
national swimming and driving ranks.
He is A1 Patnik, clean-cut, well-built
Buckeye freshman and new national
A. A. U. diving champion off both the
1-meter and 10-foot boards. He
doesn’t look his 21 years.
Spectators who sat in on the three
day championships in the Yale pool
won’t soon forget Patnik’s grace on
the board, his erect posture as he poises
for the plunge, the way he seems to
hang momentarily in the air before
hitting the water and his slick-as
butter entry into the pool.
JpATNIK’S was an entirely surprising
victory when he won the low
board championship Thursday night.
He competed in Chicago last April and
showed promise. But in an Olympic
year, filled with the feats of fellows
like Dick Degener, Marshall Wayne,
Elbert Root and A1 Greene, whom he
succeeded as low-board titleholder, he
had been forgotten.
His class off the 1-meter spring
board was obvious. But even then
there was doubt as to his ability off
the high board—especially with Root,
Greene, Jimmy Patterson, also of Ohio
State, and Ben Grady against him.
When he had also taken over the title
which Degener vacated by turning pro,
he was hailed on all sides as "another
Degener” or "better than Degener.”

BY GEORGE E. HUBER.
URPRISINULY early rockfish
have begun to fcite in the Poto
mac around Washington. They
are not in any great number
yet, but enough have been taken to
Indicate that some are around and
willing to be caught.
Pishing being closed in the Tidal
Basin, the angling fraternity has
moved on out to the river above tire
flood gates, and a few of them have
been given the surprise of their life
by hooking into a rock instead of
the expected perch or carp.
The biggest reported to date
is a 4-pound, 2-ounce fellow
taken opposite the polo field
by Milton Sharky.
He and Tony Caruso have taken a
dozen others at the same spot last
week, using bloodworms for bait and
fishing off the seawall. These fish
have weighed between 2 and 4 pounds.
The best time to catch them, they
say, is just before high tide. This
*
early in the season the rock have not
taken up their usual hard-striking
tactics, but are biting and nibbling
much in the manner of perch.
Seawall Best Place.
gO FAR this seawall near the polo
field seems to be the best place
as but one rock has been reported
caught in the river above there. This
one was taken opposite Joe Fletcher’s.
Rock fishing around Washington,
although it gets good at times, is
nothing compared to what it used to
be. A 25-pound specimen was caught
last year, but fish of this size are
very rare now and are not to be ex
pected every day. Time was when
rock used to run up the river in great
droves, bringing a small fortune to
commercial men who took them in
nets. These same nets are responsible
for the lack of them now, and today
a 5-pounder is something to brag
about.
Daniel Webster, while In Con
gress, used to angle occasionally
for these big stripers, and in one
of his writings mentioned the
fine sport he had with a few'
silver beauties at the foot of
I.ittle Falls.
Rockfish are plenty sporty on regu
lar tackle, but last year an angler
from New York passed through here
and showed the local lads something
new' in the way of catching them. He
used a 12-foot fly rod with double grip,
one of those rods used for salmon up
in New Brunswick, and with this
tackle it sometimes took him 25 min
utes to land an ordinary 5-pounder.
Conservation Group Meets.
MEETING of the Northern Vir
ginia Chapter of the Virginia
Wild Life Federation ■will be held
this evening at 8 o'clock in the
auditorium of the Virginia Public
Service Co., Alexandria. Representa
tive A. Willis Robertson, chairman of
the House Committee on Wild Life,
will be the speaker.
As a member of the Virginia
State Senate, Representative
Robertson was one of those
responsible for the framing of
the legislation under which the
Virginia Commission of Game
and Inland fisheries now
operates.
He was first chairman of the com
mission, serving from 1926 to 1932.
He also has presided at several inter
national conferences on wild life.
Motion pictures of trout and bass
fishing have been scheduled as part of
the entertainment at the meeting.
It is planned to include several pic
tures of the stocking operations in
Colvin Run, in Fairfax County, with
fish from the State hatchery.
Although this chapter of the fed
eration has been organized but a few
months, a comprehensive plan of
activities designed to increase the sup
ply of game and fish in Northern Vir
ginia has been adopted.
The Capital Casting Club will meet
tomorrow evening at 8 o’clock in the
office of former Senator Harry B.
Hawes, 711 Transportation Building.
This, of course, will be in addition to
the regular practice session Saturday
afternoon at the Lincoln Memorial
Reflecting Pool.

Four 1936 title winners, headed by
sensational Katy Rawls of Miami
Beach, Fla., will return to seek addi

them. Neither will Mrs. Lenore Right

of Iowa City. Miss Burr and Miss
Buckley rank at the top of the list j
after Miss Petty’s 1936 titles.

But Lady Luck smiled that night—

had saved him. As he, himself, says:
“I feel now that I am living on

It’s a fact that engineers are doing
everything in their power to make
driving safe. But it seems to me that
as far as tires are concerned, the
greatest single contribution has been
from Goodrich engineers.
They have developed a real blow
out protection called the Golden Ply.
It is a layer of special rubber and full
floating cords scientifically treated to
resist the terrific blowout-causing
heat generated inside all tires by to
day’s high speeds. That’s certainly
one protection that everyone should
invest in—especially when Silver
towns, I am told, are priced lower
than many other super-quality tires.
