    cial match is just a forerunner of ithe annual Round Robin w • Why Do People Fish?Philip Wylie, novelist and magazine writer s,ays the

    ariswer is mankind's pursuit of mystery.

    "A sleepy'colored man, who depends on his dog to

    bark when the bobber bobs, and the astronomer fighting

    off the pre-dawn chili in a mountain-top observatory share

    something of the same spirit of research," says Wylie. •

    "The colored man will be satisfied with a dream, and

    yet her feels that maybe along will ,come the grandpa of

    .catfish. The astronomer makes routine observations, with

    the idea in the back of his head that a new planet might

    swim into view. * , -

    "We don't know about the life history and travels

    of the most ijnportant game fish, sailiish, marlin, school

    tuna,,.dolphin. And.nobody can guess what the behavior

    of fish will be on any occasion. Swarms of tuna on the

    surface and1 never a strike! Sailfish in droves thrashing

    ballyhoo to death and the netft day not a sail in sight.

    "Big-game fishing is the newest form of escape from

    thfi. captivity,of civilization. It has been developed in' the

    last decade. Once under the spell of it, no one quits ex-

    cept through necessity. 1 have asked a score pf charter-

    boat captains, professional guides, working at'the job the

    year around, what they'd do if they w;ere independently
