THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF SPORT

LADIES OF THE DEEP

Neither rough seas nor low temperatures could keep the members of the International Women's Fishing Association from competing in their first annual sailfish tournament. For two days 60-odd ladles fished in the chilly waters off Palm Beach, Fla. All told they caught 85 sailfish, but later released 82 of them in interests of conservation

Tall wave dwarfs the charter boat, Margaret K, and makes it appear as though the stern is about to be swamped. All good sailors, ladies turned out 100% next day. Calmly trolling through the trough are four IWFA (I Will Fish Also) members: Mrs. J. H. Godfrey of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Mrs. Joseph Shapiro of Boca Raton, Fla. and Stamford, Conn.; Mrs. James R. Caldwell of Boca Raton and Wooster, Ohio; and Mrs. Alan Ferguson of Palm Beach Shores and Washington, D.C. Captain Harold Meyer of the Margaret K is on the bridge at the wheel.

Shivering contestant Mrs. Walter Robinson of Palm Beach waits for boat to go out first day.

THE SENIORS WHALE AWAY
