THE COURIERJOUR.VAL, LOUISVILLE, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 8, 1961 FEATURES SPORTS SECTION 2 Tcnpin Alley 3 Kentucky Keglers Heading For All-Star The Courier Sportsman New Limits On Game Fish Gall For Ruler V.f If i V- fti Lou Frantz Ruth Represent State In Bowling Jt By BURT MONROE Once more the ruler becomes a standard piece of equipment for Kentucky anglers. A twelve-inch minimum size limit on bass went into effect on January 1 at Dewey Lake. Other limits are scheduled later in the year on other waters of the state as the biologists decree. It is all in the Interest of quality fishing rather than quantity fishing in these waters. At Dewey Lake, fishery biologists have found that natural reproduction and growth with no safeguards for the young bass has been unsuccessful in maintaining the desired number of catchable bass in the lake.

It has been found that about 50 per cent of the bass harvested by fishermen in this lake are less than 10 inches in length and therefore never reach the desired size for catching. Small bass are unable to keep down other fisb populations. In an effort to build up the bow population in the lake, about 20,000 bass, from four to six inches long, have been moved there from the Williamsburg rearing ponds. Anglers are inquiring as to how long it might be before these bass become the legal size of twelve inches. A good guess be about three to four years.

IIow fast a fish grows depends npon several factors. These Include food, space, competition from other species of fish and the nature of the particular fish. The most important factor effecting fish growth Is food. In some waters, fish-food is plentiful but is not available to the fish. An example of this can be found in muddy water.

Muddy water makes fish-food unavailable to game species that feed primarily by sight. Muddy water also preyents the production of fish-food because sunlight cannot penetrate the water to permit growth of microscopic plants which are the basic link in the complex fish-food chains. Space Affects Fish Growth Another factor affecting the growth of fish is space. Fish that are crowded will not grow. The fewer the fish in a lake, the faster will be their growth.

Most waters are limited in the This Doff Is For The Birds Mr- 4, i TI H. E. Grace, of Middlesboro, shows off his Llewellin setter, Jett, and some of the kill he retrieved during the 1959-60 season. Jett is a perfect tender-mouthed retriever, carrying dead birds back by the head or wing. He carried crippled birds in his mouth, firm but gentle.

The dog, less than two years old, had 172 quail, 11 grouse and a few woodcock killed over his points during the 1959-60 season. Quail are off in southeastern Kentucky so Jett probably won't equal his total of last year. But Grace expects him to double his production of grouse before this season ends on January 15. Grace is a school teacher who coaches football and basketball and raises registered Llewellin Setters as a hobby. Most bird hunters refer to a setter of a certain color as a Llewellin.

Actually, though, Llewellin's come in a number of color phases. However, there is only about one registered Llewellin to 500 registered Engilsh Setters. All pure Llewellins trace their bloodline back to the dogs of Squire Llewellin of England who developed the breed. It is the only strain of setters recognized and registered differently from English Setters. amount of food they can produce but the fish sometimes reproduce in such great numbers that there is not enough food to go around.

But most fish will grow throughout their life if there is sufficient available food and space. Generally fish grow very little in winter when the water is weather months, fish are more active and need a lot of food and it is during this time that fish would put on growth. The growing season for most Kentucky fish would be approximately seven months In any sampling of fish captured in order to determine J.tf' sTtL 4 ts airM 1 a i iit rt it 1L '2 it "It's A Keeper!" Fischer Kaelin 'Spectacular This Week 'Hordl Illirt John Herchenroeder, veteran city editor of The Courier-Journal, has spent most of his 53 years playing one sport or another. He showed up yesterday to help the Courier basketball team battle the Louisville Police Department, and received his first broken bone from sports. "Kerch" suffered shattered bones in his right wrist and a bruised forehead when he ran into the wall of the Police gym.

It wasn't really his fault He'd lunged for an errant pass, thrown by reporter Joe Bride, as if he were still a frisky 17, and the momentum carried him into the wall. The Police won the abbreviated three-quarter game 29-23' despite a Press lead at the end of the first quarter of 12-0. Osborne Places High In Figure Skating Ten-year-old Jill Osborne turned in a creditable showing in the Midwestern Figure Skating Championships at Troy, Ohio, in which 22 states sent competitors. In competition yesterday, Charles Fetter 16 year-old Louisvillian, teamed with Miss Darlene Strich of Indianapolii to place fifth in the silver dance category. Fetter, an Eastern High School student, and his Hoosier partner were first in the bronze dance last year.

In competition Friday, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Osborne, 541 School Way, placed sixth in the compulsory school figures and eighth in the novice ladies singles.

Thirty-one girls competed in the novice ladies singles. Miss Osborne is a member of the Louisville Figure Skating Club. Competition at Troy ended last night.

Ruth is going for the second time as Kentucky women's champion. She narrowly missed the semi-finals at Omaha despite an attack of bursitis that made her last few qualifying games an ordeal. Kaelin is in the "National" for the first time, but despite his age, he's rolled against the nation's elite for three years in the American Bowling Con-gre'ss Masters Tournament, twice advancing to the finals. WITH THE PROS Bob Sullivan, a Grand Rapids (Mich.) businessman and sportsman, has announced that he's picking up the sponsorship of Eddie Lubanski's star Detroit team for the remainder of the present season (the estimated cost ranges up to $40,000 even for this brief period). Others on the team are Billy Golembiewski, Joe Joseph, Bob Kwolek, Bob Hitt and Therman r.ihunn (who won 75.000 on 5.000 the televised Jackpot' Bowling show last week).

The outm has been unsponsored since a Detroit brewery dropped it last spring. A few months after Sullivan's backing runs out in June, Lubanski will join Detroit and Joseph will go to the Kansas City club in the new National Bowling League. They're among the signers so far in the N.B.L., which plans to begin its first season October 13 and run six months under a 132-match schedule. Other cities in the 12-team league are Omaha, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Dallas, Los Angeles, Fort Worth, San Antonio, New York, Miami, Birmingham and Fresno, Cal.

A lot of big bowling names taken in the first draft (such as Don Carter and others from St. Louis) haven't been signed, but a second draft will be held January 16 in an attempt to fill out club rosters. JUNIOR BIZ Trophies will be awarded at 2 p.m. today at Western Lanes to the top finishers in the recent Family Twosome tournament here.

The ever-popular tourney is sponsored by the Louisville Junior Bowling Association A reminder also wai issued to all coaches to report the results of their Christmas tournaments to Association Secretary Ethel Robbins by this Tuesday. Those who have mailed results directly to national headquarters in Chicago were asked to call Mrs. Robbins with a duplicate report.

Although some were seeded because of past performances, most of the field of 240 men and 96 women was selected from among 12,000 bowlers in local and state eliminations. Such was the case in Kentucky, which will send Lou Frantz, Al Kaelin and Ruth Fischer all of Louisville on the basis of state-final results at Ashland in October. San Bernardino, about 50 miles this side of Los Angeles, marks the tourney's first West Coast appearance.

The top awards of $10,000 and $5,000, won at Omaha last year by Harry Smith o'f St. Louis and Sylvia Wene of Philadelphia, remain the same, but prizes have been increased for lower 'finishera. The format is a familiar one. An "All-Star Prevue" is scheduled Thursday night, wilh qualifying starting Friday and continuing through semi-finals Monday and Tuesday. The top 16 men and 16 women then begin match-play finals on Wednesday and roll through Saturday.

The final hour of the tournament that Saturday (January 21 will be carried by A.B.C.-TV, starting at 9 a.m., C.S.T., but it isn't known yet whether the program will be seen here.

And it is equally as certain that size alone will not always indicate the age of any fish. But there is one sure fact.

Fish that are growing fast are usually caught more easily by the fishermen and, naturally, they are much larger and more desirable for sport. Fishery, biologists are skilled in management techniques whereby fish in lakes and ponds can be made to grow fast. The result is better fishing even if the "yardstick" comes into standard use again. Uniform Hunter Casualty Report Since 1950, the National Rifle Association has prepared an annual report on the causes of hunting accidents with firearms and the persons involved in those accidents. A summary of the more pertinent items from the latest reports show rather astounding facts.

About 45 per cent of the shooters involved show their age to be under 20 years. Between the years 20-29, about 22 per cent were involved; 30-39 was 14 per cent; 40-49 was 10 per cent; 50-59 was 5 per cent; and 60 and over was 4 per cent. And strangely, 72 per cent of those involved had three years and over in hunting experience. Intentional discharge of weapons totaled 46 per cent, of which 16 per cent happened when the victim was out of sight of the shooter; in 12 per cent the victim was covered by shooter swinging on game; in 10 per cent, the victim was mistaken for game; and in 8 per cent, the victim moved into the line of fire. Unintentional discharge of weapons totaled 54 per cent of the accidents.

Heading this category at 9 per cent was that the shooter stumbled and fell. In 3 per cent, the trigger caught on brush or other object; in 4 per cent the shooter was crossing fence or other obstacle; and in another 4 per cent the firearm was defective. Several categories listed 3 per cent of the cases each. These Included the loading or unloading of firearms, taking them from or placing them In vehicles; inadvertently pulling trigger; and where bullets ricocheted. And in 1 per cent of the cases, the shooter was using the firearm to club game.

Shotguns were involved in 59 per cent of the accidents; rifles In 36 per cent; handguns in 4 per cent; and bow and arrow in only 1 per cent. Most of the accidents, about 41 per cent, Occurred on clear days when the visibility was good.
