However, it's not dead yet. Area lakes yielded good numbers of bass last week on anything from topwaters like Slug-gos and Bass Assassins to buzz baits to soft plastics fished on the bottom. I'd like to discuss the latter. While most of the anglers I saw on the water this past week were throwing buzz baits and other various topwaters, my bud dies and I fished bottom structure with excellent results. The secret is something called a Carolina rig. It's one of the easiest, most ef fective methods of catching large- mouth bass which have fallen into their fall patterns, and this what you need to take advantage of the situation. First, although it's not neces sary, a long rod is a luxury. I use a six-foot heavy-action rod that serves the purpose, but I would probably boat more fish with a longer rod. A seven footer in ei ther medium/heavy or heavy is ideal for this type of fishing, giv ing the fisherman plenty of back bone for a solid hookset. Don't laugh, but I prefer 20- pound test monofilament when Carolina rigging. It sounds heavy, but when fishing this way, you tend to pull baits through brush which can, and usually will, snag your line. To be hon est, you're going to break off more often than you will when fishing other methods, but the fish are in the brush. A few hooks and weights are worth sac rificing for the quality of fish you can puE in when Carolina rig ging- , As far as the rig itself goes, it takes a couple of minutes to tie, but it's pretty simple. Thread a 1/2-ounce or 3/4-bunce egg sinker onto your line and tie the line to a no. 6 barrel swivel. If you want, you can use a pink not saver bead between egg sinker and the swivel. I dout know how much they work, but I use them to give me any edge possi ble. Now, tie a piece of monofila ment leader to the other end of the barrel swivel. The leader should ! 9e between two and five feet long depending on your per sonal preference and what hap pens to work at the time. To the leader, tie a 3/0 or 4/0 offset shank worm hook. Spend a little extra and buy sharp hooks, not something cheap and dull. Texas rig the oait by burying the hook back into the body of the bait. As far as soft plastics go, let your imagination run wild. I've used worms, lizards and soft jerk- baits with this rig and caught fish on all. It just depends on the day. Retrieve the bait, lifting the rod tip slowly. When you feel it snag, pull the rig slowly over the brush. Pay attention because sometimes the fish will inhale the lure as it falls over a limb. When you feel that "tick," reel down and set the hook with determina tion, not apprehension. It takes a strong hookset to pull the hook through the bait. Like I said, this is a fairly easy way to fish, and it is reasonably productive during this time of year. Good luck. many limits to 21/2 pounds os jigs in 15 to 18 feet of water;cal- fish are slow " Here is the weekly fishing re port as compiled by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department: Freshwater •Fayette County - Water clear, 82 degrees, normal level; black bass are excellent to 6-3/4 pounds on Bass Assassins, topwaters, worms, lizards, live water dogs and slabs; crappie are slow; cat fish are good to 16 pounds on wa ter dogs and slabs •Gibbons Creek - Water clear, 80 degrees, two feet low; black bass are fair to six pounds on Ring Rascals; crappie are fair on minnows; catfish are fair to 4 pounds on catfish bait and shrimp •Somerville - Water slightly murky, normal level; black bass are fairly good to 6 pounds on ar tificials; stripers slow; crappie are fairly good on minnows in 9 feet of water; catfish are fairly good to 42 pounds on minnows •Fork - Water clear, 71 de grees, 3 feet low; black bass are good to 10.76 pounds on black jigs; crappie are very good with Coastal • Freeport - Inshore fishery are catching good numbers of flounder in Christmas Bay;good numbers of redfish have been caught at the mouth of the8^1 and in the surf.

Blue Jays take 3-1 lead in World Series THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO — Jimmy Key put a lock on At lanta bats and the Toronto Blue Jays moved within a game of bringing the first World Se ries title to Canada. Key, passed over in Toronto's playoff rota tion, pitched as though he hadn't missed a start. He blanked the Braves until the eighth inning, and led the Blue Jays to a 2-1 victory Wednesday night for a 3-1 Series lead. Of the 34 teams to take 3-1 leads in the World Series, 28 have gone on to win. Toronto will try to do it Thursday night when Jack Morris, the MVP of last year's World Series, starts against Atlanta's John Smoltz. Pat Borders put Toronto ahead with a solo homer in third inning off Game 1 winner Tom Glavine. Key made it stand up until relievers Duane Ward and Tom Henke closed it out for the save. The Blue Jays' bullpen has allowed one hit in nine scoreless innings. For the ninth time in the last 10 Series games, it was a one-run decision. And, for the 10th time in 10 Series games, a non-dome team lost indoors. Key went 7 2-3 innings, allowing five hits, and the one run. He struck out six without walking a batter. He had not started since the last day of the regular season and pitched just three relief innings in the playoffs. From the first through the seventh inning. Key retired 20 of 21 batters. Borders has caught a lot of criticism throughout the postseason for throwing out only three of 29 basestealers. Hehas: thrown well, that's true, although Toro;: pitchers have not helped by allowing ram to take big leads and throwing plenty of pi‘2 es in the dirt. Whatever, Borders heard only cheerswl* he led off the third inning with a shot intoS lower deck in left. The blow extended Tom to's record streak of hitting homerunsini postseason games, and underscored howl Blue Jays were winning a Seriesthatki shaped up into a battle of power versus spec Borders' homer had a few other distr tions. It extended his postseason hitting to 12 games, a record for catchers and Thurman Munson each had 111/ Borders' 15 home runs this season, itttte first off a left-hander. 11 DALL on Wed ments votes fi are was leasing r that say /'This is to was votes on as usual.

"Both teams had a lot of great digs." Digs were the key in this match, as Tech entered the night as one of the best digging teams in the Southwest Conference. But the final numbers belied that fact, with A&M finishing with 84 digs to Tech's 72. "I thought that defensively, that was the best we've played all year long," Givens said. "Not many teams have outdug Texas Tech. We did tonight." A&M's Genny Wood led all players in digs with 18. Setter Ginger Carter led Tech with 17, and also had a game-high 39 as sists. The loss drops A&M to a pre carious position in the SWC with a 2-4 conference record, 11-8 over all.

Rollie White Coliseum it p.m. Foster Continued From Page 8 The UIL says women can play football. That's great. They also say men cannot play volleyball with women. That's not so great. Two steps forward. Two steps back. Maybe men shouldn't be al lowed to play volleyball with women, but the UIL does not sponsor volleyball for men. So what are the male volleyball players supposed to do for extra curricular activities? The only answer: Play with the women. The entire argument of gender discrimination in sports is that everyone is created equal, and that given the right opportunity, women could play football just as well as men, right? If not, at least they should be given the chance. Yet, men are not allowed to play volleyball with the women, because it would not be fair to the all-female teams, right? Be cause, as facts have proven, men on the average have more poten tial to be stronger and faster than their female counterparts. But that argument completely contradicts the one on why women should be able to play football. I know plenty women who would probably be pretty mean on the football field. Hell, I think I dated a few of them. But men aren't allowed to compete against those same fe males on their own turf —the vol leyball court. Suddenly, we have a new kind of discrimination. Men are being put at an unfair advantage by not getting to play volleyball, either by themselves or with women. The UIL either needs to sponsor volleyball for men, or let them play with the women. Maybe it doesn't seem fair, men playing volleyball against women. But does a 64,250- pound linebacker blitzing and knocking the helmet off a femalt quarterback sound any more fair? Not that she couldn'ttake it, but if she can, she can handle playing volleyball with the men And if we can say men won’t dominate and conquer the women on the football field,tta won't do it on the volleyball court, either. One or the other must be done. The UIL can't stand on! sides of the fence. UNIVERSITY LECTURE Ta or THl WA! millior ed ma congre into T start c watchi day.
