When the fishing season opens April 15, disciples of the English angler can begin fishing in. some of the best fishing streams in Pennsylvania, said George Har vey, track coach and fishing en thusiast. "Almost any stream in this :area is a trout stream," he said. "Quite a few students approach me every day about fishing." . Of the three species of trout found in this vicinity Mr. Harvey said that he preferred the brook, brown, and rainbow, in that or der, for fishing. This brook trout is the only native to this region. The rainbow was introduced from the West, while the brown trout was introduced from England. "I like the brook trout because they rise more readily to artifi Lion Lacrossemen Continue Practice Spring training, which includes the fundamentals of the game by Coach Nick Thiel and brisk work outs, is being held by the Nittany Lion lacrossemen in preparation for their opening tussle with Navy here April 28. Due to the inexperienced group trying for berths on the team, Thiel has to start from scratch and teach the beginners the game's basic rules and plays. If the perfect playing weather continues, he ex pects to begin light scrimmages next week when he can get an idea of promising players. Thiel announced that candidates for the job of assistant manager are to report to 221 Rec Hall from 3 to 5 p.m. any week day. James Chaikin, only returning assistant, is acting as head manager this sea son. Assistant candidates are: Fred Iluehnergarth, Jerry Trumper, Dave Marcus, and Dave Heinze. The season's schedule, announc ed by Graduate Manager of Ath letics Neil M. Fleming, follows: April 28—Navy May s—at Army May 12—Swarthmore May 19 2 --at, ; Navy .

The angler added this advice to v,ould-be fishermen. The streams ir• this area are limestone, or val ley streams, and for them, fish ing with wet flies and nymphs produces the . best results. Dry flies should be used in mountain streams. The war has has its effect even on fishing. Mr. Harvey added this note on war-time shortages. Students should not throw away mutilated flies but save the hooks in them for retying. Mr. Harvey has hopes of again giving instruction in casting and fly tying. Last year's fly casting classes in Rec Hall were crowd ed every night they were given. As long ago as 1934 when he was still a student at the ' College, Coach Harvey was giving classes in fly tying. At times there were as many as 120 students in the class. In the peace-time recreation program of the College, the fish erman feels that instruction in fly and bait casting, and fly tying will have a definite place. "See you all at Spring Creek April 15," concluded the angler. New ASTP Officer A new officer, Lt. Hollis B. Farnum( reported for duty at the College yesterday. He was trans ferred from Johns Hopkins Uni versity, Baltimore, Md..
