selves and with our friends. We can well
imagine that where he has gone there Is
plenty Of bridge, plenty of laughter and plenty
of fun, for such place is where he deserved
to go.
For % years he got out his little book ON
the game-a book which helped countless
thousands to learn it while enjoying the proc
ess of learning. On the page after the title
page used to be the little jingle:
Co. little red book, go
And bring TOR me more Jane,
For euerytUhere that you hare iOent
They are glad that you haze came,
In his kindly way he poked fun at every
body who took himself too seriously and would
have been in raptures had he read the con-
fession Of a bridge writer the other day who
said he was "fed up with experts, including
myself" Ferguson would have sympathiZed
with that chap for having to spend more
time with himself than anybody else. He
always tried to make even the most technical
points clearer by means of touch of humor
and strived to get others to do the same, for
he saw bridge as well as life itself as some
thing meant to produce fun for all.
Killjoys used to laugh when he would wax
serious at times and urge the teaching OF
bridge in public schools, as he did for years.
Not so long before his death he said that If
this had been done for a hundred years we
never would have had the eighteenth amend
ment; the drinking places would have been
playing bridge. Those who laughed at him for
his advocacy Of bridge in all the public schools
may keep right on laughing, using the writer
of this page as the butt of their ridicule; In
return they win receive pity for not knowing
what worthwhile cause they are laughing at.
Wynne Ferguson used TO say that bridge has
robbed old age of It's terrors. 1t certainly
robbed his old age of them. He was one of
the happiest OF men, and the Wynne Ferguson
Studios, which still carry on in New York,
continue to radiate the spirit he persotlihed.
Perhaps the pet of all his stories told OF
a man trying to learn to ride bicycle. Some
body asked, why do you want to know how
to ride bicycle2" He replied: II don't want
to know how to ride bicycle" Then why
are you trying to learn?" well, simply
figured I may some time be in place where
my only chance to get away will be ON
bicycle, SO I'd better know how" That, he
said, was why you should know bridge; you
may be where you have to play.
We wish more OF these grim -Hsaged bridge
players and theorists would dedicate themselves
to having and giving good time la wynne
Ferguson. He may be gone but his humor
should live long in the game.

The Worst of4H

There are players who are fancy,
There are players who are plain,
There are players who are modest,
There are players who are vain,
There are players who are modern,
There are those whose ways are old,
There are players who are tinlid,
There are players who are bold,
There are players who are pesky.
But the worst of all the bunch
Is the nut who scraps all reason
Just because he has a hunch.

KLUKWAN

The town of Klukwan has been trying to get peep out over the snow which is now over five feet deep but it is not So easy to find the old sun. Dan katzeek, the mail carrier has Eeen unable to make regular trips to Haines for the mail as the snow is pretty soft. After several hard puffS of the ola North wind, the trail became hard enough for a team to mush over to Haines. The automobiles are now rusticating in sheds, garages, etc.

 Gus Klaney was arrested some time ago for having tco many goats in his possession. He mad six goats. But Klaney hap rened to be out with one of tue officers from the U. s.

Gus ap- leared before the Haines con- missioner and proved that three of the goats belonged to the of flcer so was cleared without question. A few weeks later, Gus saw man interested in his case, coming down the trail from Tukheen where Gus and the Cfflcer had gotten their goats. Gus hailed the man at Nile 13 Camp and asked How many goats have you" The answer was, Four" Strange that it was unlawful for Gus to have moro than three goats in his posses sion while it was legal for the ether fellow to have four which is one more than the law allows. We just don't understand the law up here or else there is one law for the white hunter and for the Indian.

Green Bay Eleven
Finally Stopped
Pass, M'Bride to FIaherty, Gives
New York Giants 6 to o
Verdict

New York, Nov. 21.-(P)-Green
Bays astonishing march toward an
other National Professional Football
league championship finally has been
checked.
For the first time this season, the
champion Packers ran into club
that could beat them as they sur
rendered to a surprisingly alert New
York Giant eleven, Go, Sunday. In
nine previous games, the Packers had
won eight and fought the Chicago
Bears to a scoreless tie.
The Giants, with their line the de-
Gliding factor, stopped Green Bays
running and passing attack and re-
covered a Packer tumble at midfield
to pave the way for the only touch
down of the game in the second pc
Rod. Passes took the ball across the
goal line in three plays, the last one
being long heave from Mcbride to
F1aherty. q
The Portsmouth spartans and Chi
cago Bears, each beaten only once
this season, remained in the chase
by posting fairly easy victories. The
Spartans overturned Boston, 100.
The Bears walloped Brooklyn, 700,
with Red Grange, Keith Molesworth
and Dick Nesbitt scoring touchdowns.
Stapleton swept through the Chi
cago Cardinals, 21-7.

Ground-Caining Passes and
Stubborn Defensive Line
Are Responsible

New Haven. Conn, Nov. 21.-The
deluge and the full fury of Yale'S
great scoring wave of the 1882 season
struck Harvard Saturday at one and
the same time.
The combined outburst swamped
the Crimson, 10 to 0, and marked the
most decisive defeat Yale has hand
ed it's old rival in 30 years.
Forty-five thousand specta o S,
dashed by a rainstorm, sat huddled
through a mud battle that saw Cap
tain John Wilbur'S Ellis redeem dis
NAL season with crushing triumph
in the 51st gridiron battle between
these ancient foes.
The smallest crowd that has turn
ed out for the game in more than a
score of years looked on while the
Blue mastered the Crimson in every
department Of football, scored three
touchdoWnS with magniflcently
executed running and passing attack
and wound up with the biggest mar
gin of victory since Yale's $50 tri-
umph of 1902.
In between the sensational attack
ing exploits of Bob Lassiter, Walter
Levering and bud Parker Yale'S de-
Tense four times took the ball on
downs deep in its own territory.
After being halted three times in the
first half, once with only two yards
to go for touchdown, Harvards Of
Tense, led by the gallant Jack Cric-
kard, crumbled. The Cambridge crew
threatened only once in the last half
and that was no more than gesture.
The chief honors Of this Eli holi-
day, which the boys in blue cele-
brated by tearing down their own
goal posts, went to lanky Bob Las
sitter. He didn't cross the Harvard
goal line but his running and passing
were the main factors in each of the
three touchdowns.
Lassiter'S first pass to bud Parker
was good for a 28-yard gain in the
opening period and led to a touch
down by Levering on short buck
pass as the climax of 45-yard adj
vance. The next heave, to OConnell,
for II yards, failed to increase the
scoring but the third and last pass,
to MARITIME with the ball on Har-
Yards 25-yard mark. accounted for
the final Eli touchdown in the fourth
period
