CHANGES AT HARVARD.
Athletes to Be Better Cared for in
the Future.

BOSTON. Mass, April 1.-There should
be an air of prosperity and satisfaction
surrounding athletics and athletes at
Harvard in the near future. Under the
new system now taking shape at Cam
bridge every detail making for the care
and comfort of the members of the
various teams will be a matter of rou-
tine. Harvard plans to do away with
the old Varsity Club on Holyoke street
and build a new structure. which will be
used exclusively b: the members OF the
universities athletic teams. The old
house, where many Harvard stars have
trained. is by far too small to accommo-
date the material Harvard uses during a
year for representation in field and other
sports The old building was first put
into commission as training house two
years ago. 1t has quickly Outgrown it
SELF and now the authorities declare 1t
is inadequate and inconvenicnt for the
proper care of athletes.

no-trumper is stronger as an assistance
to the hearts than the hearts may be to
the no-trumper 1t is an old saying
among bridge players that no-trumper
laid down in answer to a heart make is
a sure game hand.
When the dealer starts with one dia-
mond it often happens that the third
hand sees better chance to go game by
shifting to no-trumps, it being so d1fh-
cult to win five by cards in diamonds.
All authorities are agreed that diamonds
should never be called by the dealer as
first bid without high cards as well as
length. and unless the score is aavancea
sufficiently to win the game in diamonds
a shift to no-trumps is strongly TO pe
recommended if third hand feels equal
to 1t. If the dealer is bridge player
remember that he is always declaring 10
the score. so as to go game, and he may
have picked the diamond on account OF
it's safety if the score is advanced: When
you see such n score be careful about
meddling with a diamond call.
When the dealer bids two tricks IN a
red suit 1t is practically command to
let him alone, no matter what you have
short of certainty. and the only thing
he expects from you is TO increase ms
call il he is overbid in another suit and
you have some outside tricks to help him
with, Or can trump the suit which is de-
clared against him. This last item is a
strong point.
If the dealer starts with a bid of two
hearts his hand is useless for anything
but hearts as trumps. and you cannot
depend on him for any high cards in the
heart suit II he starts with two dia-
monds, on the contrary, it shows both
length and high cards in the suit itself,
or enough re-entries to support the dia-
monds as part of a no-trumper. If the
third hand has command of the three
other suits he may take shot at a no.
trumper, but 1t is risky. because the dia-
mond suit may not be solid. and the adj
versaries may clear their suit by forcing
an ace before the diamonds are set UP.
AS general principle of play. when
the dealer calls red suit and the third
player has no-trumper the red Suit
should be let alone unless it is doubled
or overcalled. That is the safe game.
But when the third hand has no.
trumper it is his business to show his
partner whether or not the declaration
suits him. If the dealer calls one dia-
mond and third hand holds only one or
two small diamonds, but has five or six
good hearts, he should overcall the dia-
mond with the heart, just IS he should

AUCTION BRIDGE LESSONS.
By R. F. FOSTER,
Author of "Foster's Complete Bridge"
No. s.

In the last lesson We confined our
third player when the dealer started
with a nO-trumper. We shall now look
at the suit calls. 1t may be as we'll
to remind the reader that We are still
assuming the dealer to be bridge
payer who declares on the system de-
scribed in the third lesson. The i'm
portance Of the distinction between this
method and that described in the fourth
lesson cannot be overestimated, be-
cause the dealers objects in the two
cases are diametrically opposed.
when bridge player declares a red
sult' especially hearts, he not only has
legitimate heart make, such as any
bridge player would make at the score
but he should have the top cards in
the suit. Upon this point, however, the
authorities are not agreed. Elwell does
NOT mink the winning cards necessary
II the dealer has length. Dalton,
browning, Pencil and myself are salts
hed mat 1t is Of the utmost Importance
on the first round of the bids not to
cali one trick in a red suit unless you
nave certain trick in it. the ace, or
ooth ace and king. The secondary bid
is different thing.
me reason for insisting on the high
CARDS in auction is that the first bid
IS seldom final. The dealers partner
may be tempted to go no trumps, or
ildy De forced up, or may take chance
on double. In bridge this contingency
never arises. and the presence or
absence of high cards in The dealers
declared suit makes no difference to
his partne|. because he has nothing to
say. In auction he may have every
thing to say.
If we suppose that you have cut a
bridge player for partner at auction,
and you are third hand when he deals.
you should be very chary about going
no trumps when ne starts with heart
declaration. unless his call is doubled.
and then only because you trust him to
stop the heart suit; not to win any
tricks in 1T. Seven to the jack ten will
stop a suit, but such cards are never
considered good for a trick in auction.
If you have the elements of a no.
trumper and your partner has a legiti-
mate heart make, remember that your

Its ups and downs, and during thes first

sion.
From the viewpoint OF great perform

in the professional history of the game.
while viewed from the angle OF public
interest the opening decade does not COM

nineteenth century, when galaxy of
such artists as Maurice Nisnaux, George

overcan a no-trumper when he has a
bust outside Of hearts. While the third
hand has nothing in diamonds to help
the dealer. the dealer may have three or
four hearts that will help his partner.
The same principle applies to overcalling
hearts with diamonds if he is strong in
diamonds and has nothing in hearts. The
partner should be warned in either case.
Some judgment is required in advancing
to a two-trick bid. as it forces the part
ner to go two tricks in his own suit II
he wants to return to it. but as rule, II
the third hand passes the dealers red
suit call, it should be an indication that
the make suits him as we'll as anything.
If the dealer is doubled it is important
that the third hand should show the
other red suit if he has it.
Should the dealer start with one club
it is almost a command for the third
hand to go no-trumps If he has sure
trick in two other suits. A good player
will never. as dealer. bid clubs as a
starter unless he has the suit practically
solid, such as six to the ace. king, queen,
or seven to the ace, queen, jack. An
original club bid without the three top
honors is wicked and will frequently land
the partnership in serious trouble.
Some players think the dealer should
call two clubs if he is very strong. Eweli
recommends it. but / think the principle
is false. because ii prevents the partner
from securing an easy contract in a req
suit If he is not able to go no-trumps.
w HeH you are IHVltlhS your pal thci l"
improve on your call, as you always are
when you declare black suit, never
force him to bid two tricks IL you can
help it.
In spades. it is necessary 20 distinguish
spade strength from a passing hand with
no good make in it, With such a suit as
the three top honors in spades, the dealer
should declare two spades if he has moth
ing better, SO rs to show what would be
valuable as part of a no-trumper. In
response to such bid, the third player
should stretch a point to go no-trumps,
or should declare red suit freely, es-
pecially if he is short in spades and wants
discardS on that suit.
Next week we shall take up the tactics
of the third player when the dealer bids

GERMAN SPRINTER GOOD.
Records Compare With Best in the

NEW YORK. April 1.-For the first
time in the history Of track and field
sports Germany has produced first
class Splinter, and this man, who is little
more than beginner, is likely to prove
stumbling block to the visitors at the
Swedish Olympic games next year. The
name Of the flyer is r. Rau, and in
competition he sports the purple and
gold of the Berliner Sports Club of the
German capital. Quite recently in the In
door Olympic games at Berlin Rau gave
a fine display Of sprntng prowess and
something which means that the visitors
from America, England and other coun-
tries will have to look to their laurels
at Stockholm next year. The German
covered the fifty meters in 40 seconds
figures which, If closely calculated, COM
pare with the best OF the record books
OF any country in the world today.

The billiard world suffered its greatest
loss when Jacob Schaefer died at Denver,
March g, 1910, after long illness. Ills
name is written indelibly on the pages
of billiard history as one of the great
masters and his place never can be f1iieo.
Those coming after may equal and even
better his records. but as an inventive
yentus who DID more than any other
nIayer TO develop the scientific side OIL
the game he never will be eGualed.
