ItRfcWSTKR Xhre»ri Center Hill Reservoir In cen tral Tennessee is the home of more smallmouth bass than most fishermen would believe. They teem In Its p!ne-rlmrrud waters, waiting for the angler who chooses the right bait and presents it the right way at the right time in the right place. Now that sounds simple enough. In spring the small mouths are laying In shallow water off the rock-lined banks, i preying on small fish, crusta-: ceans and insects that prefer I the shallows. And they are ripe as a treeful of Cling peaches in fall, ready for the picking. I A lot of people are picking them off with Doll Flys, min ute bits of lead and polar bear hair, more often than not black ; in color; pitched as close as possible to the bank and reeled in v-e-r-y slowly. Like most bass fishing, the action is hottest early in the morning and late in the evening. During the hot part of the day the wise fisher men hit the sack and rest up for another assault on the bass' along towards evening. REALLY TOUGH Night fishing is highly pro ductive, too, although casting from a boat is really tough on a dark night, what with tree branches seeming to reach out and deliberately trying to snag a carelessly-tossed lure. The best bet here is to beach the boat and fish from the shore, finding an open spot among the trees and flipping a lure parallel to the bank, if possible. Os course during the daytime a lot of anglers forego the rest period and troll instead, throt tling their Mercury outboards down to a whisper and drifting along, presenting their lures to an awful lot of water in a re latively short time. BIG STRINGS Cove Hollow Dock on Center Hill Reservoir has a brand new set of pictures of strings of smallmouths that have been brought in this year, strings that make envy spring up like mushrooms in the hearts of le.ss fortunate anglers. If it’s proof you like call on A. J. Hayes at Cove Hollow, and it’s proof you’ll get. He can be found at the dock, usually with a string erful of bass to show. Other fish are biting well there too, such as crappies, drum and largemouth bass, but the smallmouth is still king. Ask anyone who’s caught one! Three Tiger players will be awarded Brotherhood Citations for outstanding sportsmanship and citizenship at a pre-game home-plate ceremony. A commit tee of sports writers and broad casters will name the players to be honored. TELL ME.... A WINNER, ANO A COEO -II A El ,|.,M made one of the first calls to prize winners.

Time is the only limiting factor. If you are driving coast to coast you’ll need more time than the usual two-week vacation. According to The American Thermos Products Company whose modern camping gear provides outdoor living with in* door comfort, the four essentials of family camping are shelter, light, refrigeration, and a means of cooking. A camp shelter is usually a tent, and one of the best is the “Pop-Tent” which pops up in seconds, has no poles and comes in models sleeping two or four. For lighting and cooking, “Thermos” makes Holiday camp stoves and camp lanterns that burn any gasoline, so if you run out of fuel you can siphon from your car. Their modern, insulated picnic jugs and ice chests solve the refrigeration problem. , . ~ .

AUGUST 11, 1962 Plan To Make A Better Player Os Dan Lewis Coach George* Wilson of the? Detroit Lions was searching fur running help lor his 1002 team when he came up with halfback Tom Watkins of the Cleveland Drowns. Watkins, the former lowa State All American, came to Detroit, along with quarterback Milt Plum and linebacker Dave Lloyd in ex change for quarterback Jim Ni nowski. halfback ilopalong Cassa dv and defensive end Dill Glass in an off season trade. Wilson figures the* trade will help the Lions in two ways, first, with the improved running pro vided by Watkins, and second, that the presence of Watkins vull make a better ball player ol vete ran Dan Lewis. "Watkins, despite the fact that he is a bit underweight after a tooth problem in service, has shown us that he is going to boa real exciting runner.’* offers Wil son "While he is not a speed demon. Tom has plenty of running class and good moves so that he should be a big boost to our offensive unit “With a player of WatkinC caliber around, Lewis, a 210- pounder with great speed, could easily realize the full potential that has been his since he came into the league in 1958.” While Lewis' record shows a creditable 4 4 rushing average for four years of NFL duty, based on 1219 yards gained on 276 tries, still the former Wis consin star has not provided the breakaway threat which the Lions have been seeking. Only once, against Los Angeles in 1960. has Lewis gone the distance for a long gainer. On that occasion. Dan scampered 74 yards for a TD to enjoy his finest NFL day. a, 124 yard effort. Watkins was used sparingly by Cleveland in his rookie season, sharing work with Bobby Mitchell He averaged 4 9 yards per try on 43 attempts for 209 yards. However, he was sidelined for a part of the campaign with a shoulder injury. I .poking ahead to the new seas on.
