THE ANGLER’S WORKSHOP

Rodmaking for Beginners 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A UNIQUE work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s 
book supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his own 
ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information gathered 
by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in fishing, tourna¬ 
ment casfing and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates not at all. He tells 
“the how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way that makes results certain. 
All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; to 
tarpon, surf and light salt water rod U\ bass and trout, salmon and tournament fly-rods. 
Complete specifications of well-known types are given, and the chapter on split bamboo 
rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever published. Indis¬ 
pensable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain 
every feature of the text. Postpaid, $1.00.

Washington, D. C., Feb.21.—Arrangements are being 
perfected to hold the intercollegiate outdoor rifle tourna¬ 
ment this year in Washington, D. C. The District 
National Guard authorities will lend the District range for 
the purpose, and the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, as 
well as the National Guard, will be invited to furnish the 
officers for the match and the force necessary to care for 
the targets and the scoring boards. The National Rifle 
Association of America has the matter in charge and 
expects to, make the visit of the college riflemen to the 
capital an event of social importance. They will be 
taken to the Capitol and public buildings, and if Pres¬ 
ident- Taft is in the city, they will be presented at the 
White House. At least six or eight teams from as many 
of the leading colleges and universities are expected, and 
possibly more. 
The match calls for teams of six men firing ten shots 
each at 200, 300 and 500yds., with any military rifle, and 
any ammunition. A handsome championship trophy goes 
with the title. 
The indoor matches of the Intercollegiate League end 
in March, and on March 26 the annual indoor match for 
the collegiate championship of the United States will be 
shot. Each club will shoot on its own range, the results 
will be telegraphed to the N. R. A. in Washington, and 
later verified by the forwarding of targets. This match 
also carries a handsome trophy. The college clubs in the 
indoor league are Columbia University, N. Y. City; 
University of Iowa, Washington State College; Uni¬ 
versity of Idaho, Cornell University, George Washing¬ 
ton University, Washington, D. C.; United States Col¬ 
lege of Veterinary Surgeons, Washington, D. C.; Uni¬ 
versity of Nevada, Louisiana State University, and Dela¬ 
ware College. 
The Interclub Indoor Rifle Shooting League is 'now 
engaged in an interesting series of indoor rifle matches. 
It is composed of a number of clubs affiliated with the 
National Rifle Association, which is conducting the 
matches. Each week the clubs meet in their own 
galleries and shoot a team of five men, 20 shots per man, 
at a distance of 75ft. Any rifle of ,22cal. weighing not 
more than lOlbs. may be used, with any ammunition and 
any sights in front of the firing pin and not containing 
glass. The National Rifle Association has appointed a 
judge in each city where a club is participating in the 
matches, who furnishes the targets and collects them 
after the firing, marks them for identification and for¬ 
wards them to the secretary of the Association in Wash¬ 
ington. Immediately after the shoot the results are tele¬ 
graphed to Washington and announced from here. The 
clubs in the League are the Fort Pitt Rifle Club, Pitts¬ 
burg; Warren Rifle and Revolver Club, Warren, Pa.; 
Italian Rifle Association, New York City; Winchester 
Rod and Gun Club, Ngw Haven, Conn.; Birmingham 
Athletic Club Rifle Association, Birmingham, Ga.; Tri¬ 
angle Cadets (Y. M. C. A.) Rifle Club, Los Angeles, 
Cal.; Tacoma Rifle and Revolver Club, Tacoma, Wash.; 
St. Paul Rifle and Pistol Association, St. Paul, Minn.; 
Seattle Rifle and Revolver Association, Seattle, Wash.; 
Rocky Mountain Rifle Club, Butte, Mont.; Myles Stand- 
ish Rifle Club, Portland, Me.; and the Los Angeles Rifle 
Club, Los Angeles, Cal. The matches began in January 
and run through March, and the club winning the most 
matches will receive the indoor championship of the 
United States. 
Within a short time the tryouts for places on the 
American team which will represent this country in the 
three-cornered international small-bore rifle match with 
England and Australia, will be in progress. Each coun¬ 
try is to be represented by a team of fifty men who will 
shoot 50 shots each, 5 shots to the target. The distance 
will be 75ft., and any position may be assumed. Any 
rifle may be used not over .230cal., and any sights may 
be utilized, including telescopes. The targets will be 
furnished by the secretary of the Society of Miniature 
Rifle Clubs of Great Britain, through the National Rifle 
Association of America. They will be circular, with an 
inner 1 ring, %in. in diameter, in which the. competitor 
may blacken as much as he pleases for a sighting bull. 
This is surrounded by concentric circles J4in. apart, 
counting from 9 down to 1. The tryouts will take place 
during the week ending March 12, and the targets will be 
sent at once to the N. R. A. headquarters here and the 
team picked and announced. The match will be shot in
