THE THIRTEENTH MOVE
(By TED kESTING)
•
By William L. Roper
When a man’s fly or plug cast
ing is consistently bad, there’s a
good chance that the trouble lies
not with the tackle but with him
self—that he hasn’t learned the
proper technique of casting. But
spinning is so intrinsically simple
that if after your first couple of
hours at it you’re still having
trouble, it must be the fault of
wrong tackle, not of anything
you’re doing.
The unfortunate fact is that
there are on the market some
spinning reels, and some rod-and-
reel combinations, of erroneous de
sign. Fortunately, it is a simple
matter to avoid buying a misbe
gotten cross between a spinning
and casting reel. Jason Lucas,
angling editor of Sports Afield
magazine, points out that with a
properly designed spinning reel
the spool does not revolve in re
trieving; there is a device to wrap
the line back around the spool in
the exact opposite of how it came
off, so when the line 1 is all back
on it’s as straight and untwisted
as before you cast. You just make
sure, when’ selecting a spinning
reel, that some pickup gadget is
wrapping the line back on and
that the spool does not revolve.
In spinning reels Lucas pre
fers manual pickup to automatic.
He thinks one with manual pickup
is much simpler and more pleas
ant to use after you get used to tt
As for rods, most who are ex
perienced with this type of fishlpg
seem to prefer the seven-foot
length, although many advocate
shorter ones. The rod must be
flexible enough to bend well in
now your State
casting lures from one eight to
one quarter ounce. Bamboo and
hollow glass rods work about
equally well for spinning. Solid
glass rods are fine in lengths up
to around six feet, but in longer
lengths they tend to become top
heavy and stow in action.
Some experts maintain that it’s
a trifle easier to learn spinning
with braided line, but practically
all that I know now use monofila
ment. For really good casting with
fresh-water spinning lures, one
shouldn’t use line over four-
pound test. But when it’s neces
sary to hold larger fish from dense
weeds, snags and boulders, a six-
pound test works quite well, and
an eight-pound can be used. Any
thing heavier is just begging for
short, difficult casts, snarls and
other troubles.
One more important point—
proper adjustment of the drag.
Set .the drag when you have line
way out in the water and are re
trieving. This tfray you allow both
for guide friction and for a small
diameter of line on the spool. Set
the drag at what you consider
safely below the test of the line.
You can get a good idea of what
that is from the end with ymir
hands.
One of the few remaining fron
tier forts is Oconee Station
Guardhouse, north of Wal-
halla. Its field-stone walls are
ierced by loopholes for mus-
ets. Oconee Station was
erected in 1760 by British and
Scottish troops in their actions
against the Cherokee Indians.
In the modern state of
South Carolina, the United
States ^ Brewers Foundation
works constantly to encourage
the maintenance of wholesome
conditions wherever beer and,
ale are sold. As in other states,
the program calls for close
cooperation between law-en
forcement officials *nd beer
licensees throughout South
Carolina.

Time Getting Short
For Applications To
Rent Summer Cabins
Only a few days are left to apply
for family vacation cabins at the
state parks this summer, according
tb State 'Forester C. H. Flory, who
pointed out that all applications
should be sent to the State Com-
mission of Forestry on or before
March 1st. Because the demand
for cabins each summer is greater
than the number of families that
can be accommodated. All requests
received by March first are in
cluded in a public drawing to give
each family and equal opportunity
to reserve a cabin.
Cabins at Myrtle Beach, Edisto
Beach, and Hunting Island State.
Parks are available for families •
perferring the seashore. Many
families thinking of cool mountain
breezes, want to spend their va
cation in one of the cabins located
at Oconee State Park or Table
Rock State Park. Other family va
cation cabins are located at
Cheraw State Park In the sand
hills, at Poinsett State Park in the
’’high hills of Santee”, at Givhaaw
Ferry State Park on the beautiful
Edisto River, and at Santee State
Park on the shores of Lake Mar
ion.
Negro families may rent cabins
at Pleasant Ridge State Park in
the mountains of Greenville Coun-
ty_ , or at the seashore at the
Negro areas of Hunting Island
State Park.
Any family wanting to spend a
week’s vacation at one of the
state parks vacation cabins tills
summer should write on or before
March first to the S. C. State
Commission of Forestry, P. O. Box
357, Columbia.
From the day when he first
mushed into Fort Yukon during a
howling snowstorm. Jake McGow
an had challenged the checker
playing supremacy of old Pop Fill-
bright. manager of the Lone Wolf
Trading Exchange. As the long
winter night settled down on the
Arctic Circle and the luminous
streamers of the Aurora Borealis
flashed vividly across the northern
sky. their checker tournament be
came a subject of keen sporting
interest to the loafers hunched
around the big- stove. But neither
Jake nor Pop would engage in the
betting.
“Betting spoils the fun,” Pop
would say. and Jake would nod
in good natuned agreement.
Occasionally as they played. Pop
would confide broken bite of his
dream to the tall, dark McGowan,
mien tt opened up In the Spring,
Pop was planning to go Outside.
He had a cache of furs and a bag
of gold dust, which would more
than pay his passage to Seattle
and from there to his old home in
the Ozarks.
When Pop talked of going Out
side, he relaxed in his , playing,
and Jake began beating him more
frequently.
’TVS that danged thirteenth
move in the Old Fourteenth game
, that gets me,” Pop explained.
' “But the Old Fourteenth is^still
my favorite.”
Then one dark morning when
the Aurora Borealis wavered mys
teriously in the sky, McGowan
vanished. His dogs and sled were
missing, and so were Pop's fur
cache and gold dust. A fresh snow
covered his trail.
It took considerable urging and
nagging by the boys to get Pop
to report his loss to the police.
Old Pop took it pretty hard. He
brooded and for a time gave up
his major interest in life—checker
playing. What hurt him even more
than the loss of his treasure and
his broken dream of going Outside
was the disappointment in human
nature. When he mentioned Jake,
it was in the way one might refer
to a dead friend
•Jake never cheated at check
ers.” Pop would say ‘And he was
particularly good at that tricky
thirteenth move in the Old Four
teenth.”
Pop’s gray hair became snow
white and he complained of the
bitter cold, but he no longer spoke
of going Outside. He did ask a few
questions about the States, when
a detachment of Air Force engi
neers arrived . to make a survey
for a military base north of Fort
Yukon. Listening to them talk.
Pop shook his head sadly.
“Guess PH never make it." he
said.
A year passed. And near the
end of another dismal Arctic night,
a stranger mushed in from - the
north with a dog sled loaded with
furs. He strode into the exchange,
shaking the snow from his fur
coat. He resembled Jake McGow
an, but when he drew the fur back
from the lower part of his face,
you could see the difference. He
was clean shaven, and there was
a livid scar across his right cheek.
The nose, too, was flatter, broader
than Jake’s had been. It looked
as though it might have been
crushed by a terrific blow.
“Heard there was s checker
player here,” he announced jovi
ally. “So I mushed in for a few
games.”
In a short time he and Pop were
bent over the checker board be
hind the big stove. They played
Pop’s favorite game. “The Old
Fourteenth.” '
Halfway through the game. Pop
said, “Excuse ms *tfl I get a
drink of water."
When he returned from the wa
ter jar in the corner, he held an
old forty-five bn his right hand.
“Okay, Jake," he said. “You’ve
changed your feature^ but you
ain’t changed your game. You’re
the only feller I ever knowed who
played that tricky thirteenth move
in the Old Fourteenth. Don’t move,
’til the boys fetch the lawmen."
