league, which started in June, allowed players eight ipoints for a win against an oppo­ nent in the same class, with two points more or less for each class above or below— subject to a maximum of 12 and a minimum of four—with a draw counting half the value of a win. Thus the par average was four points. After five games, anyone


averaging six or more was promoted a class, and anyone averaging two or fewer was relegated. During the season, P. Williams was promoted class 1 to class la. W. Blow and D.

TWO GOALS in Iwo min­ utes by Read started a land­


slide victory for Chatburn. An unnecessary handling of


the ball by Houghton got Chatburn off the mark from the spot. Although Whalley had several good individual players Chatburn proved far too strong and took a G-0 lead at half-time. Throughout the second half


Chatburn continued to pile on the pressure by scoring an­ other eight goals through Read, Hargreaves, McClean, Dewhurst <2), Holgate. Bithell (2) . After 30 minutes of the sec­


ond half Houghton went off hurt putting Whalley down to 10 men and with 10 minutes left to play, Foster went in goal for Clarke. Although the referee didn't appear, the game was ably controlled by Mr. H. Lumb. For Chatburn it was on all­


round performance to which Clarke and Foster specially contributed. Scorers: Read (3). Har­

Tenth position After' playing ten games,


Clitheroe FC Reserves arc in 10th position In the West Lan­ cashire: League, second divis­ ion. They have collected seven points, the record being three wins, a draw and six losses. They have scored 15 goals and conceded 51—more than • any other club. On satiu'day they lost 4-0 at Haslingden.


AFTER a first half of fine attacking football from both sides, in which White Lions took a 3— 1 lead, the game fell away in the second period and became very scrappy with few of the flowing moves of the first


45 minutes King’s Arms were a goal in


front after five minutes. Preedy sent in a fantastic shot from fully 30 yards which shook the crossbar and Tay­ lor was on band to put away


the rebound. White Lions were soon on


terms however, with a fine goal from Brown. Collecting a through ball from Foulker, he ran on and gave O'Neill no chance with a right foot drive. White Lions went ahead,


again through Brown, who shot home from a Briggs’ cross. Despite going behind, King's Arms were still well in the game and Hargreaves and Taylor in particular brought good saves from Whittaker. Several King's players had,


however, a tendency to hold the ball too long, and more quick passing might have produced better results.


. Ten . minutes before the break White lions went fur­


first season. The other semi-finalists are


ther ahead with a fine oppor­ tunity goal from Biiggs. Pick­ ing up a ball on the edge of the area and seeing a real


chance as the defence opened up before him. he sent in a gieat dipping drive which roc­ keted into the net past the helpless keeper. However, play deteriorated


in the second half of a game which had promised every­ thing. Play became scrappy and


unco-ordinated and far too many passes went astray. White Lions had chances to increase their lead Seedall, who had a quiet game, shot straight at O'Neill when put through, and O’Donnell al­ most squeezed one inside the post. Outstanding for White Lions


were Whittaker, Geelan and Fouker. For King's Arms, Har­ greaves and Ward. Teams: White Lions—Whit­

Calderstones 4, Trinity 2. A dominant first half put


Calderstones well on the way towards defeating Trinity.


They had. the encouragement of an early goal by Backhouse who headed in from the right, and ten minutes later Haythornthwaite put them further in front with a shot from just inside the area, and added another just on the half hour. Ten minutes before the


end of the half, Czapowski reduced the arrears for n 3-1 turn round. Afterwards, the home side


did not have things so much their own way; slackness crept into the defence with, the result that Turnbull found opportun.ty to put the ball into an empty, net. Then, with, fivo minutes left, Dust made his way upfield to score the goal which sank Trinity. Referee Farnsworth con­


trolled tlie game well but had to get lids book out dur­


ing one incident. Connell was probably Cald­

In favour of private clubs


.by HUGH GERARD Earlier this year at the


annual meeting of the National Anglers’ Council, a motion from Sheffield and District AA was with­ drawn after discussion. The motion was that all fishing owned by public bodies — and by public bodies they meant organ­ isations like British Rail­ ways and the General Elec­ tricity Board — should be made open to all licence


holders, Personally, I’m very glad


it was withdrawn, for had' it gone through and been im­ plemented, it could possibly have been the thin end of the wedge as far as nation­ alised fishing is concerned. Now I know that a lot of


demand free fishing as a right, you will have to put up with a lower level of sport. In fishing, as in everything


else, you get just what you pay for. If you arc prepared to fork out you have a free­ dom of choice to fish where you will. If every water does eventually become public that


freedom will no longer exist. I fish wherever and when­


ever I can and am quite wil­ ling to pay a high price for my sport. To anyone not prepared to do the same my advice is give it up and start playing dominoes.


The areas leading retailers of VENETIAN BLINDS


window coverings offer free nensuring estimating a n d


people think that all fishing should be available to every­ one, but it’s a view I do not share. •


I've seen what happens to


a water once every Tom, Dick and Harry has the right to fish it—it goes downhill very rapidly. Let me give an ex­ ample from the many I could quote.


Many years ago I belonged


to a club which controlled a stretch of river containing barbel, the only barbel fishery in the area. Available only to club members and well bailiffed, the water was a picturesque spot and the fish­ ing was good. Then the club —short of funds—began issu­ ing day tickets. Word spread and pretty soon the fishery- started to deteriorate. The downstream stretch which was free and relatively un­ known up to then also started to get a hammering. These barbel were rather


partial to tinned meat and cheese baits and within a year it was easy to see ex­ actly which brand they pre­ ferred. The bank was littered with rusty tins and cheese boxes as well as the usual hook packets, sandwich papers, broken flasks, cigar­ ette packets, etc. The banks were beaten fiat,


weed uprooted, branches snapped from tho trees and the quiet comers were used as lavatories. Walk along any popular


free stretch of any river and you'll find much the same sorry story to some degree. I'm not saying that this is


bound to happen to every water once tho fishing be­ comes available to everyone, but there is a good chance of it happening — and it's a chance I wouldn't like to see taken. My own view is that the


more waters that are owned by private clubs the better. Like the crucian carp lake I mentioned last week, the fishing stays good and the surroundings are usually well


looked after. It’s expensive fishing—the enrolment fee and year's, subscription for this particular club comes to over £20—but it’s much bet­ ter than wetting a line on a poor water even if the latter is free. You will also find that the


big private landowners and syndicates know h ow to safeguard their Interests. Pollution and abstraction. may affect public and Asso­


ciation waters, but you" can bet your life that Lord So And So will kick lip such a row that it will never happen


on his. It doesn’t particularly mat­


ter if you personally cannot' go and fish Lord So and So’s private stretch. The point is that he is preserving good fishing and if you ever get rich enough you can go along and join his syndicate. If you can’t, or if .you are one of the many people who
