PAGE BRINGS butler
FRO.a BOTTOM TO TOP

Although the quantity and quality
Of available material is the keystone
for athletic success. coaching also
seems to play more than the usual
role at Butler college, indianapolis.
Ind
Until 1890 Butler amounted to little
or nothing. Since that e It's teams
have advanced to the point where they
are feared by every opponent And
the schools success is attributed to
the ability of Coach Harlan o. IPatl
Page, formerly Of the University of
Chicago.
His knowledge of all the major
sports, his sincerity and enthusiasm
won the students at once Thereupon
he set to work making good teams
out of natural material. Under his
direction the football team has played
twenty-seven games. winning twenty
two. Last fall the only defeat Butler
met was at the hands of Notre Dame.
In basketball Butler has won fifty
three games in seventy starts. Tho
baseball team has won a majority of
the games played. The college had no
track team until Page came. The
1929 array placed second in the In
diana collegiate meet and won points
in the western conference and national
intercollegiate vents
During the asst football seaso thou
sands OF cans were turned away as
the Butler enclosure seated only 10 900.
Before Page came the capacity was
l 1000 and it vas e. overtaxed-

West secured two tricks only.
The bid OF two spades was very bad
as west would not win a trick in that
suit until the nth round. North felt
perfectly safe in doubling as he knew
his partner would take him out OF a
no-trump with a worthless hand, and
the fact that south had passed the bid
of ono no-trump indicated at least
two probable tricks in the south hand.
The deal was well played by south
throughout While he did not believe
h jack of diamonds at Trick l to be
honest there was nothing to be gained
In continuing the diamond suit at that
time South had no wish TO give his
partner a run and allow the declarer
to take a discard on the same trick.
At Trick 4 south could place the ace
Of hearts in his partners hand abso-
iutely as north a bid no-trump with
nothing in tho diamond suit and the
king and queen Of hearts were in
sight. in the dummy and the south
hand.
After the fifth trick south knew
thai no more ruffs were possible in
the club suit and so played his remain
ing trump through dechrer. He was
also careful to make his ling OF hearts
at Trick 8. and finally led the dia-
mond for his partner to run. No mat
ter how the declarer played he could
only secure two tricks in the deal, ana
would have secured but one had not
east held the queen OF hearts
During tho last week H. writer
has seen four deals in which the orig
inal bid was no-trump and a bid of
two in some suit made by an adver-
sary was doubled either by tho de-
clarer or his partner.
The losses on the bids of two were
respectively 400. 400. 900 and 500. In
c~identaIiy. people who have the silly
habit OF using the double OF two as
a signal would have had to lose 1900
points on these four hands alone.

w YHnE fussin' around with
NM some trout lures the other
wv night, a pastime that is both
fitting and satisfying at this
time of the year. we got to thinking
about the lures and fly standards with
which Izaak Walton himself was IA
miliar many age. What a shock
the father OF angling would get II he
could a a look at some tackle deal
er's window today with its cores Inc
scores OF patterns on display. In the
time of Izaak Walton. just twelve kinds
of artificial flies were known. Wonder
what he o say II he could see the
many. many varieties of lures on sale
A list including innumerable kinds of
flies. floating bugs. feather minnows,
bass plugs, spinners and tiny bats
such as the trout-orenos with their al
Turing wigglea
II you viii browse through the writ
ingB of Izaak Walton you will note
that when II comes to h making or
the using OF an artificial fly early In
the spring the father Of angling had
pretty sensible ideas sven though his
patterns were few. He speaks OF dull
plain colored flies for the early spring
fishing IL a fellow must forswear the
humble but efficient can of worms.
Last year when the o eason
opened up n fisherman was quite out
OF luck unless he resorted to the
plain old garden variety of tackle. Do
you remember on May l how high the
stream were in hi middle west to say
nothing OF all the snow on the ground
in the upper Wisconsin region7 There
wasn't much chance to make a o
believe It was fly" time and even II
he was converted he couldn't see EN-
anyway. When It is a case of buck
ing weather conditions like we had last
year it's a glorious feelin' to know that
there is the a of worms in the hip
pocket. because when the fly shootin'
game is on the blink for opening day
festivities. tho use OF the worm on a
ny casting outfit will invariably mean
gettin' trout in spite OF all the dirty
work OF the weather man

West secured twelve tricks Lsmall slAmI.
East bid to the limit on his deal
but the was desperate n he
had great confidence in his partners
playing ability. North and south
might easily had made six spades but
south knew his partner TO be an over
bidder and could not trust him to have
as good n hand as north really held
in this case The critical situation
for the declarer occurred at Trick ..
South did not dare to play low on
the club lead and knew that one trick
in a plain suit would defeat the bid
After the second trick the deciarer
only needed TO play safely and remove
all the black cards from both the asst
and west hands before throwing the
lead to south with the ace Of hearts
II was necessary. OF course, to compel
south to lead up to the ace and queen
OF diamonds In dummy or to give the
declarer a diamond discard and a run
in dummy or the same trick
II was truly a remarkable result
when all the high cards in the north
and south hands are considered. Bid
ding to direct the lead is not well
enough understood by the average
player. When a no-trump has been

often have a kick coming and that
they lose their heads in tho heat Of an
argument For that reason he will be
inclined 10 be i%enient, though any ono
who knows Rowland knows that he
won't permit any player TO run vor
him He is game to tho core and will
battle just as DOT a any one- ClAr-
ence is a diplomat, however, and Il is
hardly likely that no will have any
trouble.

was enough to make any game tire
some
a new way OF playing three handed
bridge makes a great improvement
and introduces a really good game, al
though, of course. It is a poor thing
compared TO h regular auction. The
four hands should be dealt as in the
regular game n nine of the dummy's
thirteen cards are turned face up
ward, h other four being unseen.
The dealer bids and but one bid Il
allowed to each player; doubling and
one redouble is permitted When the
declarer makes game in one deal he
scores LBS additional points When
the declare- loses each opponent
scores in his own column the amount
which the declarer lost
The game may also be played by
exposing all the cards in dummy. but
Is less interesting. as in most cases h
bidder Is able to figure exactly how
many tricks he can make in the COM
bined hands. Some very tall bidding
occurred in the cal which follows,
