Your best opportunities are at dawn, or a couple of hours later, and again in the late evening for a couple of hours.

Many bass fishermen cast for bass only during the night hours, using no lights. Best bait at this time seems to be the single spin, such as the Scorpion trailing a pork frog. Most bass in hot weather are found at depths of from 15 to 25 feet. They will be found near a stump.

You can take big winter bass when the water has warmed' up temporarily a few days after a cold spell. The Quicker and higher the temperature rises, the better the bass will hit. In submerged tree, weeds, or brush waiting for a minnow or other food to come along. In the summer, more bass are taken on a crawling-type bait, than any other lure. Pall fishing is something else again.

During this season bass go on a feeding binge, apparently trying to lay on fat for the winter. In these periods he usually moves fast and hits hard. 'While jhe's likely to be in relatively shallow water you also may find him at greater depths. Fall often produces more lunker bass than at other times of the year.

in college basketball, its good to have a seven-foot center to go to. DETROIT The University of Detroit just SIU 9 4 (60) (c) New York Times The letter was written more in sorrow than in anger. Or was it? If indignation lurked beneath all the polite phrases, such asperity rated justification. At least I think so because I agree fully with the unassailable position taken by the letter writer, Art Modell, the president of the Cleveland Browns. The communication was forwarded without comment from Don Smith of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

It was sent in copier form at Modell's urgent request to the 27 members of the special selection committee of pro football writers who annually vote on candidates to the shrine at Canton, Ohio. Not knowing their identities, the Browns' president used this device to attract attention and get his message across. He certainly succeeded. Modell has no quarrel with the three who were tapped this year. They are truly admirable choices." In fact all those already enshrined at Canton had been uniformly excellent, so unquestionably deserving, that this gathering place for pro football immortals outranks every other hall of fame.

That's why the selection committee has taken intense pride in each election even if we are inclined to get muscle bound from patting ourselves on the back. Because I've been a voting member from the very beginning I have shared in such feelings of satisfaction. We all glowed this year when we nominated the eminently worthy Raymond Berry, Jim Parker and Joe Schmidt. Modell applauds such choices and rightly so. But then he touches a tender and vulnerable point when he adds: "Speaking only for myself, I must register complete astonishment that Lou Groza failed to be voted into the Hall of Fame the very first year he was eligible." But the Browns' owner speaks for more than himself.

If you want to get personal about it, he also speaks for me. I also was astonished when Groza was bypassed. But astonishment is something I've learned to live with at this annual marking of ballots. I'm never surprised at the guys who get elected. Their credentials are so overwhelming that none can dispute their right to the honor.

But I am constantly disappointed when final tabulations nudge back on the waiting list a considerable number of outstanding operatives with equally substantial credentials. Jealously guarding the portals to the Hall of Fame and adhering to a tight policy of exclusivity, the selection committee helps ennoble each 3 happens to have one Gerald Smith, and the Titans went to tnem.

U-D Coach Jim Harding of serving candidates is so enormous it also keeps increasing each year that injustices will mount unless more nominees are elevated at each annual election.

Don't jump to wrong conclusions and think this might be an exaggeration. It definitely is not. Although Hall of Fame officials never identify those whose voting totals fall short, any student of pro football can make his own educated guesses. One has to be Modell's man, Groza. Not even straining slightly I -can think of a dozen others I could vote for in clear conscience.

Let's try these on for reservation I could vote into the: Hall of Fame such exceptional players as these: Paul Hornung, Frank Gifford, Kyle Rote, Dante La-velli, Dick (Night Train) Lane, Charlie Conerly, Doak Walker, Roosevelt Brown, Tony Canadeo, John Henry Johnson, Yale Lary, Louie Creekmur is that a dozen? And I still have three or four other solid candidates left over. Although Groza was known as The Toe there was a lot more to him than that. Virtually all of today's place kickers are specialists, their qualifications limited to applying toe to ball. But Groza was a whole player, an offensive lineman of brutal effectiveness. Some of Modell's wrath was caused by the rumor that one selector dismissed Groza's candidacy because of his own prejudice against place kickers I don't know where the Cleveland owner got that tale from but it prodded him into writing in his letter: "This is rather ludicrous since it displays a total ignorance of the fact that Groza six times was chosen as an offensive tackle on the All-NFL first team.

As a matter of fact, he probably should have made the Hall of Fame solely as a tackle." It's always shock when one of the sure thing candidates fails to be elected. Not only did it jolt me but it jogged Modell right off his rocker; Everything the Brownie president said in his letter is eminently correct.
