FEDERAL WHEAT
STILL FOR SALE
Offered Despite Pressure on
Farm Board.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, June 3o.-Gov-
eminent wheat still was for sale to-
day., despite tremendous pressure
exerted upon the federal farm board
to bring about a change of policy.
Chairman James G. Stone, re-
spending to a suggestion by Presi-
dent Hoover, has promised a state
ment Wednesday on the boards
plans.
Stone is not in sympathy with
those who have been clamoring for
the board to keep sterilization
wheat off the market. But in view
of the White House announcement,
it is believed the board will give
ground to some extent. The farm
board would be at a great disad-
vantage in any controversy with the
White House, particularly since
there are two vacancies on the
board which Mr.. Hoover soon must
fill.
MillerS still are buying stabiliza-
ton corporation wheat and Stone
said he had received letters and
kilograms unfolding the previously
announced policy Of the board to
dispose of its surplus stocks 'in such
a way as to impose a minimum of
burden upon domestic and world
prices"

Contract Systems.
WHAT kind of hands causes the principal
Nv differences in systems?

WHAT kind Of hands causes the principal
- differences in systems?
Those hands which have a certain amount of
strength in more than one suit are the ones
which have really given rise to the develop
ment of different systems Of bidding especially
hands which strong that game appears
extremely likely for the side at some declara-
.tion, though just which Is not apparent;
1t depends upon the way that partners hand
nts. Therefore the finding of the correct mt is
the chief problem confronting the side.
If a PLAYER with such hand had any way
OF knowing what is surely the best declaration
for the side. the simplest kind of bidding would
be the best. The stronger his hand. the higher
he would bid to reveal the number Of tricks he
can take. His partner, adding to that the num-
Der of tricks his hand can take, would then
make the final bid for the side. It would be
simple addition. An original bid, in this
case. would show four probable tricks, two
bid, six; three bid, eight and four, ten prac-
ticaily sure-these being the amounts mathe-
matically sound in view Of partners probably
holding his share of the remaining tricks.
Nobody can be guaranteed such ut in adj
vance. however, when he holds q hand with
strength in several suits. II his partner has
strength or length in one of those suits, the
proper declaration would of course In general
he that suit. If the partner has strength in his
weak suit or suits, perhaps no trump is the best
declaration.
Thus the important consideration to the
holder of strong elastic hand is to find out
his partners distribution, or high-card hold
ings. That has caused the advance of the
forcing principle" which is applied in many
different ways The first complete contract bid
ding system to include IL waE that based on the
Vanderbilt one-club bid TO compel partner to
respond and show two quick tricks II ne had

in mind the important factor of his
~ partners hand NOT only the
strength indicated by his bids or
lack of it by his passes, but also his
,x,ro,able strength as inferred from declarations
made by the opposition. In no other way can
he have gauge on the probable ability OF ms
entire side.
During the bidding you count on your
partner for his proportionate share OF the
cards about which you do not know. BEFORE
seeing any hand you may assume he has one
fourth of all the strong cards in the deck.
After seeing your hand you can reckon ms
holding as one-third of thevstfength you do not
hold AS soon as somebody else has bid, there
by locating certain strength and probably GER
tain particular cards, the expectancy OF partner
is changed proportionately.
Until YOU have heard from him, your own
bids or passes must consider this law-ot-aver-
ages estimate of your associates resources, not
merely your own holding After he has bid or
passed YOU no longer deal with mere averages,
you have certain amount of definite inter-
nation.
The application Of probabilities applies alike
30 high card; of all suits and number of cards
of any particular suit With the following
hand
before YOU take a look at II, your partners
probable holding of hieh-card tricks is one
fourth of the eight which be reckoned, and
his probable holding in any suit is one-fourth
of the Is cards of the suit, or three and
quarter After seeing this hand his share
changes to one-third of what you do not hold.
With five of the high-card tricks, only three
are out of which his part would be just one,
and with only six clubs missing his share in
that suit is cut down to only two of them.
If an opponent should open with a bid
of one heart, thereby locating at least two of
the missing three high-card tricks and leaving
only one unplaced, your partner cannot hold
more than that one. chances being that he
has only half of it or less. Prior to that bid
his probable heart holding was one-third of
the IL you do not possess, three and two-thirds.
Since that bid probably places at least five
hearts with the opponent, only six are now UNI
located, and your partner will average to hold
not ever half of them, or three.
Making estimates of this kind is indispensable
to sound bidding.

Proper auction bidding would be one spade

the twe-majors or bid no trump if he had the
hostile diamonds doubly stopped North passes

At contract, a straightaway or semi-forcing
bidder would open with two spades West might
pass or bid three diamonds. North would call
three clubs over the pass or four clubs over
the diamond bid If three clubs, South would
bid only three hearts, to leave the door open
for possible no trump game CALL in which
event North would bid the heart game; If four
clubs, South would bid four hearts, and there
it would end. Forcing bidders could cali only
one spade on Souths cards, after which West

Now came the club play. The king won. but
when West failed to follow, the major led q

IS it ethical to ask the score just before your
partner is about to bid, with the purpose
of apprising him of the existing situation?
No, it is most unethical. 1t would be unethical
also to drum on the table to attract partners
attention to the score, to point to it or to make
gestures or grimaces of any kind with the pur-
pose of helping him to decide on the best bad
under the score conditions.

Eastern Gr:dirOn
HOnOrs Disputed

NEW YORK, Nov. %. U.P)-The
eastern football championship was
an open argument today.
When Albie Booth, small Yale
backfield star, calmly kicked the
field goal that beat Harvard. 80,
he also added up a sectional de-
bate that may continue until spring.
Harvard had been the only major
eastern eleven without defeat. Also
it had escaped any tie decision. II
Albie had missed, the impartial
football enthusiast would have
rated Harvard tops in this area.
Now. however, there are no fewer
than nine teams with records so
nearly alike as TO leave sectional
honors a matter Of guess.
Bucknen is undefeated. Harvard,
Colgate, Pitt, Syracuse, Columbia,
Cornell. Penn, Fordham and Yale
own the best records. None has
lost more than one game. Harvard,
Colgate and Pitt have no ties and
have seven victories each. Cornell
and Penn are also without ties and
have six victories each.
