WIDE ON BUSINESS
TRIP, BUT WILL RUN
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 4.-Edwin
Wide, the Swedish schoolmaster and
track star, has arrived in the United
States, but not, primarily, to run.
An official Of the Swedish school
gymnasium department, Wide will spend
the next seven months studying the
public schools in various United States
cities and, in addition, to observe under
what conditions Swedish athletes will
have to compete in the 1882 Olympics
at Los Angeles.
Although his visit is chiefly of busi-
ness character, Wide will do some COM
petitive running here before he sails for
Sweden July 26. He will not run before
the middle of February, he says, and
perhaps not then. He needs at least
five weeks to get into condition, for he
has not run since the Swedish cham
pionship meet August %.
Wide will spend about 10 days in New
York and then will travel to Washing
ton. Chicago, Los Angeles and many
cities en- route.

fenSe
Perhaps the reason for the sue
cess of the Badgers on the court is
the game they play. Their offense
is a fast one that starts from the
blackboard when one of its guards,
No. in the sketch, gets the ball.
He'll dribble up court if the OPEN
ing is there in order to feed it to
one of the forwards, Nos. l or 3,
who, with the center, 2, have
broken at top speed for the other
basket. If dribbling is impossible,
because of close guarding, he'll
either hook or bounce pass to one
of them.
Let us suppose he can dribble.
When No. 8 breaks clear bounce
pass will advance the ball TO him.
From this point on the Wisconsin
attack is interesting to study.

The generally accepted theory is
that a Dealer in Contract should
bid one No Trump when his hand
counts Is with three suits stopped:
two No Trumps with IL. four suits
STONED: and three No TrumpS with
81 and or course four suits stopped.
But without the Diamonds stopped.
y il doubtful whether South should
bid even as high as two NO TrumpS.
we're in not for the following con-
sheraton:
To jump two No TTumps TO three.
the partner needs a count OF 6. To
jump from N to two. the minimum
count partner must have is 8. Thus
il might be that North, with a count
Of 6. I, or 8. would pass one No
Trump when there wouldn be game
in the combined hands. The Jack
and two small Diamonds and King
OF Clubs in North's hand. IA count
of only A. would ensure game.
Therefore a bid Of one No Trump by
South seems Insufficient; but no
risk three. without having every suit
stopped. would not be prudent.
AnalyZing the hand in this way.
Mr.. Work stated that he believed
this 10 be the tvpe of hand with
which a compromise would be ad-
visible. and q bid of two No Trunps
