NEW YORK, Dec. ~. U.P)-Ely
c u b ert sons tWo-demand, ap-
proach-forcing system Of bidding in
contract bridge is getting the tar
knocked out of it, if the Culbert-
son-Lenz match, which goes into
its fifth session tonight, is a crit
erion.
Sidney S. LEM and Oswald Jac-
oby, playing their new official sys-
tenn, laid down a barrage of aces
and kings in last nights session
which came near overwhelming the
Culbertsons.
When time was called at the end
Of the 28th rubber, Lenz and JAG
oby, leading the approach-forcers
by $3.50 points. were as happy as a
pair of Boy Scouts who had Just
succeeded in making fire by rub
bing sticks together.
Len2 and Jacoby realized a net
profit Of 1895 points on the eve
nings play, winning seven of the
~ rubbers. Their lead Of $3.50 does
not, by any means, constitute ar
insuperable obstacle for the Gull
bertsons, since there are l22 rub

Though the run of cards once

Of the Lenz-Jacoby team, the Gull
bertsons were not without breaks
Of luck last night. Once, for in

Jacoby dealt and passed. Cul-
bertson passed. Lenz bid one no
trump and Mrs. Culbertson doubled
an unusually weak double, justi-
fled because the Culbertsons were
not vulnerable and the opponents
were. Jacoby, with two and a half
honor tricks, bid two no trump.
Culbertson made desperate
three heart bid with the king of
that suit as his only face card. It
was passed twice, and Jacoby made
what looked TO be o safe double.
Lenz opened the Jack of dia :
monds. With Mrs. Culbertsor
holding only a singleton in that
suit and Culbertgon holding a sin

tablished and four hearts were
made. Since the north and south

new STUDEBAKER
MODELS OFFERED
MOTORING PUBLIC

Fortified by its free wheeling tri-
umphS Of 1881, Studebaker ar
nounces a completely new line of
motor cars offering the most ad-
vanced improvements in enginee--
ing and body design at the lowest
prices in Studebaker history. Even
casual examination of the new
models provides ample evidence Of
the lengths TO which this manufac-
turer has gone to maintain its pi-
oneering leadership III the industry.
Its production and sponsorship OF
free wheeling, and the subsequent
adoption of this epochal develop
ment by practically every manufac-
turer, definitely establishes Studa-
baker as a criterion and pace
maker in sound automotive proc
reSS. Incidentally it is also virtual
fulfillment OF the prophetic fore
cast by President Albert Russell
Erskine a year ago, that in time ELL
cars would have free wheeling.
Having successfully tapped apd
exploited @ new reservoir of thrill
and thrift with its engineering ad-
vancement, Studebaker now brings
to American motordom a new peak
Of free wheeling perfection, to-
gether with an entirely new con-
ception of safety, performance
comfort and appearance. 1t is
claimed that never before have

ance, are offered on four wheel

Eight and The Studebaker Six.
Among these are eight Of the smart
new convertible body types -
sedan and roadster on each

convertible models, on each of the
four wheelbases the body types ip-
clude the latest in body engineer
ing-the st. Regis brougham,
four passenger intimate model, five
sedans, and two and
four passenger coupes. A seven
sedan and seven
limousine are on the
President eight chassis. There is
also state Or regal model with
extra equipment for each body
type on all wheelbases. Prices
range from s840 to $3.50.
WheelbaSes have been increased
throughout-135 inches in all Pres
idents, 125 inches in The Corr
and 1T inches in The Die
tator and Studebaker six. Bodies
are longer, lower, larger and wider
Greater rigidity and stability have
been obtained by mounting the
body on the outside Of the chassis
frame, with body sills vertical in
stead Of horizontal as in conven-
tiOnal practice. Bodies have been
lowered approximately inch, yet
headroom has been increased. In
