any action on his bill. The House
voted, ~ to 80. In favor of Delegate
Lindsay's motion.

IN BRIDGE BATTLE
Mrs. CuIbertson Will Play
Against Lenz in Six
Week Match.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 5.-"The
elder statesmen" some years ago gave a
certain young woman named Josephine
Murphy her first lessons in the game Of
bridge-partly she thinks, because
they thought it would be a good joke
to make "a bridge expert out Of a
woman"
Next week she starts on a six weeks
contract bridge match, one woman play
ing with three men, and if she and
her partner win, it will cost one of her
teachers, Sidney S. Lenz, $1,000.
Josephine Murphy is now Mrs. Ely
Culbertson, wife of the blond young
man who came charging out of Russia
to upset the bridge tables of the United
States of America. and the match is to
be the Culbertson system of contract
bridge, bidding against the Lenz system,
with $4,000 Culbertson wager against
a 81 900 wager by LenZ. Six weeks Of
play, $50 rubberS, perhaps 900 hands

Mrs. CulbertSOn is going to start it

"Oh, that won't be any bother" she
said today. III arrange everything

with long slender hands, humorous irish
eyes and red gold boyish bob-knOWs

ing bridge.
She is rated the best woman player in
the world, and her husband goes even
further than that She is his favorite
partner, he says, and the only woman
worthy of being counted among the 10
best bridge players in the word.
She was the late Wilbur Whitehead s
aSsistant-and 1t was while she was
working for Whitehead that LenZ and
some of the other experts to whom her
husband playiully refers as the elder
statesmen" taught her to play bridge
when she met Ely CuibertsOn, then a
discouraged young Russian enligre, to
whom the thought of canning his living
by his favorite pastime had never oc-
Cured.

Six West Point Cadets, seniors, will

Secretary Adams, Admiral William V
Pratt, chief of Naval Operations, and
Rear Admiral Frank B. Upham, chief
OF the Bureau of Navigation, have in
Vlted the War Department TO select hall

The action is calculated to bring about

Vorable to such an exchange. Whether
the War Department will reciprocate
with an invitation to the Navy to SEND
mldshipmen to West Point or to va

closer cooperation between the two

CULBERTSON IS CONFIDENT
HIS SYSTEM IS SUPERIOR
Believes Training Unnecessary for Bridge
Match With LEM, but Says Foe May
Win Despite Handicap.

Culbertson would bid one Of suit of
which he held four cards.
For original bids OF one each system
requires two and one-haf high card
tricks. or honor tricks or four probable
or playing tricks. Original bids Of four
or five under each system are made on
hands with great strength concentrated
in one suit. hands that are probably
worthless unless the trump is such a
suit
Responds by partners Of the orig
inal bidder when there is great strength
in two hands and are much the sane
Each system provides for higher bidding
than necessary in order to show strength
in another suit than was bid originally
and to arrive at game and slam pos
Sibilities.
High card or honor trick valuations
differ slightly Culbertson counts only
two honor tricks in any one suit, since
deiensiVcIv anT suit Is nEcly to be
rufTo5 on the third round. Ienz counts
as high as three quick tricks in one
.ult. CulDertSon gives a higher value
to guarded queens and knayes than
Lenz.
1t is Lenz's view that all systems are
nearly alike basiCally and that victory
Is three-quarters player and one-quarter
system.
Culbertson has insisted that his
system revolutionized auction and con-
tract a claim which had led to sharp
retortS by Lenz and others who founded
the so-called official system of bidding
after CulbertSon had acquired many
followers. Proponents of the official"
system credit others with practicing and
preaching many principles set forth by
Culbertson as devised by him.

| answered with shotgun volley

ing activities.
