Witching Um JiihansMon-Patterson fight in a theater In Wi?hington, this writ er fall completely vindicated by the outcome. In this column. Just three week* ago, we tould you ex actly bow It would turn out. laid this column: "The first round will surprise. Ingermar Jo hansson, the challenger, will be more aggreaaive than he was in either of the first two fights." This prediction was dead on target. In the second paragraph of the prefight column, we noted that Patterson, too, would be looking for opportunities. Then, in the third paragraph, this column stat ed: "The first two rounds will go to Johansson but he will have missed the knockout punch he was hoping to connect. The third and fourth rounds will be the critical ones." It will be recalled here that every one agreed that Johansson lost bis right-hand steam after the fourth round. The pre-fight column then read: "Johansson will stun Patterson, momentarily ... in a laat desper ate effort to gain ? K. 0." And then the end of the fight was pre dicted in these words: "The fight will end in the mid dle rounds, probably about num ber seven ..." It was said that Patterson would come on after Johansson had almost nailed him, and tired. We missed the rour.J the fight ended in ? it having occurred ac tually with only fifteen seconds left in the sixth stanza. This col umn had said it would end in the seventh or eighth, in just the fash ion in which it did end. And so an opology is due for missing the round ? but then what can you expect from mere human genius? DOOR AND MISSILE MIXUP Littleton, Col. ? Kermit C.

There is no creel limit and no site limit on this fish; take what you can when you can. Suggestions on how to acquire some white lightning have been offered by Duane Raver, educa tion specialist and former fish biologist for the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. The white lightning in question, however, is the white bass ? sub ject of an article in the April is sue of the commission's monthly magazine, Wildlife in North Caro lina. Raver describes the white bass as a paradox, stating that at times this fish is difficult to catch, but at other times he lives up to the comparison with white lightning by making a pulverizing strike and then dashing away with almost any lure the fisherman offers. According to the article, the white bass is caught in most quant ity during the spring spawning run, occuring in Ute March, April, and early May. Although the fish don't appear hungry during these runs, they strike furiously at small lures such as spinners and spoons, Raver says. White bass were Introduced in to the state several years ago, first in Tillery and later in several other Piedmont reservoirs. At though fishing for white bass is best in the power impoundments along the Catawba and Yadkin chains, there's a possibility of catching them in other waters, too. Raver advises the fisherman to fish deep and in the main channel of the stream during spawning runs. Time of day makes little dif ference since at times the fish strike at dawn and on other oc College Netmen Open Season Saturday The Appalachian tennis team, with a southern tour scheduled for Easter weekend, open the spring sli)te for the four spring sports at the local college.
