HOUSE RELIEF BILL
GETS RIGHT OF WAY
$132, 100000 Democratic Measure
for States and Roads
Put Ahead.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Designed to relieve unemployment
and assist States in their road con-
struction programs, the Democratic
emergency bill making $132 100000 i'm
mediately available for highway build
ing, was set ahead of everything else
today in the House.
Backed by the party's leadership and
supported by many Republicans, its
quick passage appeared certain. The
measure provides S120,000.0o0 to be
allotted to the States and $l2,5OO,O0O
for roads and trails in national forests,
Parks, Indian reservations and other
public lands.
1t was given right of way over all
other legislation by the Democratic
controlled Rules Committee after it was
explained the measure would provide
work for approximately 100000 men.
About 100000 would be employed on
road work, the remainder in prepar-
ing and transporting materials.
The bill permits the States the reg
ular Federal highway aid funds to
match with the emergency money in
stead Of funds of their own, making
S240 ,000, 900 available this year. The
emergency funds are to be repaid out
of the regular Federal highway aid al
lotments over period of 10 years be-
ginning in 1888.

LEM AND L|GGETT
WIN CHAMPIONSHIP
Old Master Again Displays
Wizardry and Commander
Is Perfect Foil.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated FTeSS.
NEW YORK, February 27.-Two
graying masters of the cards, Sidney
Lenz and Comdr Winfield Liggett, jr.,
came from behind a brilliant field at
am. today to capture the Julian Gold
one of the most spectacular triumphs
in the annals of contract bridge.
Their victory was unheralded When
play began they trailed the leaders-P
Hal Sims and Oswald Jacoby-by 81 "a
match points and were 13 points be-
hind Mrs. Ely Culbertson and William
j. Huske.
There wasn't an expert who believed
they had a chance, but as the finals
dragged along whispers filtered out that
Lenz, the old master, was again the
wizard of the game, and that Liggett,
playing with cold precision, was the
perfect foil for brilliance.
The runners-up were two compare
tive youngsters, r. Balfe and Jean Mat
theys. They also had come from be-
hind, up from sixth to second place.
Trailing them were Sims and Jacoby
and Mrs. Culbertson and Huske,
The LenZ-Liggett victory seemed pop
ular with the kibitzers. Women hug
ged them and men slapped them on the
back.
The victory, Lenz said, was due to
accurate use of the Official system Of
bidding; he was satisfed-and happy.
Liggett smiled and admitted he was
tickled pink.
Their opponents had another reason
for their triumph. It was due, they
said to almost uncanny handling of the
cards.
Here was a hand which spelled grief
to many, but which yielded small slam
in no trump when Lenz exerted cruel
squeeze:

CARD0ZO BOWS
TOARMSTRONG

Although outplayed in nearly
every department of the game,
Armstrong Technical High School
managed to ease over a last
minute touchdown enabling them
to defeat Cardozo High IL to 6,
in the opening contest of the city
championship at Walker Field
yesterday.
The game was a thriller from
start to finish with Cardozo dis
playing one of the best forward
passing attacks witnessed this
season. Three times Cordozo had
the ball within Techs five-yard
line, but the latter's forward wall
held them for downs. Upon q
similar number of instances, Tech
was held by Cardozo with just
a few yards to go for a score. The
first half of the game was played
scoreless.
In the third quarter Tech
turned an intercepted forward
pass into touchdown, but failed
to add the extra point. Both
teams scored in the fourth quar-
ter, Tech as the result of Is yard
penalty and two end runs, while
concerted driving attack from
midfield coupled with a few for
ward passes gave Cardozo a touch
down. Williams and Turpin were
outstanding for Tech while La
MARI and Robinson played a
stellar game for Cardozo.
The second game of the series
will be played Monday Dunbar
meeting Armstrong.

boys haven't recovered from
that Pittsburgh licking yet.
RUNNING ATTACK STOPPED
"True enough, we beat North
western, FL to 0. But how did
we do it? On q sensational,
seldOm-duplicated run by Melin-
kOvich, who returned the open
ing kickoff for a score, and on
passes. The famed NOtre Dame
running attack was just simply
not clicking. And, to consider
all angles, Northwestern is not
the team it was last year. Army
and Southern California have
been getting tougher as the sea-
son has progressed. It's a sure
bet that they'll be laying for us
with everything they've got"

Upkeep Necessary

The ordinary observer may
not know of the especial care
and attention, over and beyond
the normal upkeep of a golf
course, necessary to have it in
good shape for an important
tournament such as this. The
greens were in particularly good
shape.
And speaking of the greens,
Tommy Armour and Walter Ha-
gen might have finished even
higher than they did, had they
not been a little off on some
Of their puts. In several III
stances in their final round,
had their short strokes been
as effective as their long shots,
Horton Smith would have been
pressed harder than he was.
'Well, that proves they are
just human beings" said one
spectator as both Armour and
Hagen missed puts on the
same green that looked COM
paratively easy.
Hagen just walks up to a ball
and hits it, but Armour is far
more deliberate, squirting at
the terrain, then at the target
and then at the ball. Both of
them are still money players,
however, and can always be de-
pended upon to be up there or
thereaboutS.

Smiths Philosophy

Smith wasn't off the slope
leading from the eighteenth
green after he shot his winning
round, before he was beseiged
for autographs, literally scores
tearing their admission badges
from their coats to get the Jop-
lin Ghost to sign his name
thereon.
These fans and autograph
seekers were sure Smiths score
wouldn't be beaten, but Smith,
modestly enough remarked
while he was scrihbling his
name on the tags:
"YOu folks will feel mighty
sore IL 1t so happens that my
score isn't good enough to win. !"
Since Armour and Hagen
were still pounding along the
fairways and green's, there was
q great deal of philosophy to
Smiths good-natured comment.
Horton knows a medal tourna-
ment isn't over until the last
threat has checked in.
The pros and amateurs alike
were high in their praise of the
handling of the tournament.
