Wis 663 J. Kilpatrick, Detroit 663 ONE of the most valuable of American food fishes Is the sturgeon, an odd looking critter whose history As a tragedi with moral and a warning. Two genera and twenty species of sturgeon are known. They are distributed In various parts of the world but we are interested 230SV only In the more Important American varier-. The white sturgeon of the Pact2o coast grows to an enormous size.

one specimen- being on record that was thirteen feet in length and too pounds In weight. Concerning these fish, Dr. Jordan sarc a Only a few 3r ears ago the sturgeon was regarded with great disfavor by the salmon fishermen, who were greatly annoyed by the sturgeon getting Into their nets. "As they had no commercial value they were knocked In the, bead and thrown away. But about 1888 their value began to be appreciated and since that year every effort has been made to obtain them.

The catch, bow ever. has never been large and the sturgeon fisheries on the west coast are now quite The story of the common sturgeon of the Atlantic coast Is similar. In early days these fish were so plentiful that their numbers aroused the wonder of the people. Along in the '50s no one but colored folks would eat sturgeon, which shows that these people were sensible, and the roe was used as bait, as hog feed, or was thrown away. From 3 to 4 cents a pound was the best retail price that could be obtained for the flesh and usually only 25 or 30 cents could be bad for a whole fish.

About 1870, however. the meat of the sturgeon began to command a fair price, since which time the price has greatly increased and the abundance of the sturgeon has decreased proportionately. In 1890 the average catch of sturgeon In the Delaware river was sixty to the net; since that year the decrease has been gradual and rapid until In 1899 the catch was only eight fish to the net Equally tragic and -shameful Is th-1 story ot the lake sturgeon, a fish we knew intimately when a boy. We remember seeing rows and rows of them on the floor of our father's fish house, some of them as large as a full grown manthey were taken, at one time, In Lake Erie up to nine feet In length. We also remember seeing the men a working a the The eggs of the sturgeon, black in color and slightly smaller than BB shot, were thrown- on a fine mesh screen which was fastened to the top of a barrel and they were manipulated to remove the enveloping membrane.

they were carefully salted. packed in kegs, and sold as coramersial caviar. which. Incidentally. was the next to the most Important ingredient of the standby lunch of Lake Brie fishermen; Caviar sandwiches and beer.

Another thing we remember Is the athlete) value of the sturgeon's bead. The none too large brain of this fish Is incased in a mass of cartilage which us youngsters used to whittle Into a ban that would outbounce the liveliest of gutta percha golf balls of today. After we rounded It we wrapped it with tape and then had the town shoemaker sew on a leather. cover. When you hit it with a.

baseball bat It would go a trdleso It seemed. We always gave the -rival teams first raps" and- then." meg In the sturgeon bead ball in ()In, half of the ninth inning-4f we needed some runs. We were the greatest ninth Inning miners in baseball history. One day some one pulled a boner and the game ended In a tie, the other aide Ineisting that It use the same ban. There being a stake up of 90 cents a sida we were confronted with a very serious problem.

The Irish wit of our pitcher. however, rose triagrdficentiy to the occasion. He walloped the umpire on the nose and the game ended In a fight. We saved our 90 cents, but it was a narrow escape! Many old Lake Erie fishermen have told us that In the period immediately following the civil war sturgeons were looked upon as a pest and tons upon tons of them -were used, for. hog feed or fertilizer by the farmers living near the lake.

Today emoked sturgeon sells at 75 cents a pound and a keg of caviar that brought 88 In the '80s Is now worth Something like 8150. Without goitug into tiresome statistics It Is Interesting but hardly gratifying to note that the total yield of sturgeon Is now less than 1,000,000 pounds a year; twenty years ago It was about 15,000,000. The 'United States tishery department rays that on the great lakes the catch bass de. creased 96 per cent in ten years, a serious matter when you remember that, so far, no one has succeeded In hatching sturgeon eggs artillcially. The sturgeon belongs to the ganoid family, a race of surviving prehistoric lishea, and the moral is this: These fish have survived mighty convulsions that have literally remade the earth; have more than held their own In competition with the most formidable forms of animal lifeveritable engines of destruction; they have thrived In a bitter struggle for existence for perhaps 75.000 years.

Then man. the arch destroyer, steps in and practically exterminates them in seventy. five years.

He was what football men call a plugger. He was .4 any too quick to krap ideas and was slow to comprehend He was slow and awkward and was more Mad for the old game of mass play, when strength and weight were valuable assets Instead of speed and agility, two principal requii'ements of the present These were natural handicaps, but Harris wanted to be a football player and he did everything possible to master the requirements in which he was deficient. Even in his high school career he was looked upon as something of a Joke and was given little encouragement. In scrimmage he usually did the wrong thing.

Despite rebukes of fellow players and harsh criticisms of coaches. Bob kept working and overcame the obstacles which blocked his path. He began to understand plays relying upon machine-like work of very player far their', ultimate success. He began to realize the value of series plays and the importance of being in a certain 1 position on following plays. Coaches Take Notice.

Using a football idiom, Harris began to find himself." As he mastered plays and showed al- ls Of thinking 1 quicker when signals were given, coaches gave him attention. They took I him to one side and Cemonstrated the various forms of blocking, checking, and charging without the use of hands.

After the regular squad, scrubs, and freshmen elevens had practiced for two weeks, the strong players started to loom up, but Harris was overlooked. What's the matter with me, Eckie?" Harris asked me one day.

Ask the I Old Man," I replied. "I have nothing to do with the selection of the team." Eckie, tell him to take some of the lead out of his shoes and have him go to a barber shop, and then maybe he will show a little more speed," Wal- ter Steffen suggested.

He played fairly well i1 the early games and was much better than any of the other candidates for the forward wall. He wept along in a satisfactory manner until the Carlisle Indians were met. Defeated by Redskins. The Redskins, a powerful aggregation, defeated Chicago, 18 to 4, in a game which showed fans the possibilities of the forward pass. The Indians had a pair of ends in Exendlne and Gardner, who were the equals of any who ever played the After the game I dropped into the training quarters to hear what the players had to say.

Harris was unable to do anything that day, and I intended to ask him what was the trouble. "What was the matter with yoth' couldn't you see Mount Pleasant or Pete Houser?" I asked. See them?" he answered. All I could see was their interference." Harris was always fairly fast in getting down the field under punts, but seldom made any tackles. Chicago played Indiana that year and Harris had all kinds of chances to make tackles in the open, especially on kicks.

Steffen, who did the kicking for Chicago, was a fast booter. All a lineman was to checkAhis opponent momentarily, then go 'down the field. During the next week I journeyed to the practice field and humped into Harris. Why didn'tyou make a few tackles last Saturday?" I asked: You were down fast enough."

He took. his shower, did not wait for and left the quarters. He was the same sullen person on the campus the next day and would not talk to any of the players when he reported for practice. Some tried to kid him without result. After one of aurearly season games the players who took part' in the Saturday contest did not have to report for practice the following Monday.

Only a few regulars were out in togs. Stagg spent the afternoon teaching the players some of the formations the regulars had mastered. Harris was selected to play guard on the first team, composed of misfits. z. When his name was called to play right guard, Harris' face turned all colors.

After the misfit aggregation had practiced for a short time, it was lined up against the freshmen. Harris was delegated to do the passing on punts when it was necessary to kick. Harris always has boasted he Wan the first player in the west to use the spiral one hand pass to the kicker. Haalways wanted to show Stagg he good he was at it.

Harris changed positions with the center when the kick signal was given. He got the pass away all right, but the attempt was blocked. In Some manner the ball bounded to Harris feet.
