KEEP THINGS
CLOSE, IS
OBJECT
BY GARRETT WATERS

BY GARRETT WATERS
The most despised team in any
sports race is the leader. That
Is, nine times out of ten this con.
dition rules.
Right at this moment there is
a despised leader in the inter
high basketball series race. You've
guessed it. for it's none other
than the Eastern five, managed,
coached, and directed by one,
Chief Guyon, by golly. yes.
Eastern holds the lead by only
the slimmeSt of margins, having
won its initial start in the series
last Tuesday against Business.
But it's a lead. and how big 1t
looms to the other teams who see
the Lincoln Parkers as an oppon'
ent powerful and anxious to keep
that lead and win out this year
or die in the attempt.
Interesting Situation
Thus offers an interesting sit.
uation for today;s games. East.
ern meets Western in the opener
beginning at $3.50 O'Clock, while
Business stacks up against Cen
tral Immediately after.
Every team will hope and pray
that Western defeats the Lin.
coin Parkers.> Even Coach Artie
Boyd'S Techmen, who are not
scheduled today. The reason?
Because the leader is the despised
team always, and Eastern is no
exception in this instance.
Going on the SuppoSition that
anything can happen (and any.
thing can on results of previous
games), an Eastern loss would
throw plenty of excitement into
the race at this time.
This turn of affairs would not
only bring Western back into the
order of things, but Central, Busi-
ness and Tech as well. In other
words the race would be any
body's until the inevitable turn
ing point.
Keep Things Close
Thus the object before the
teams now is the keeping of
everybody close, so that this team
or that one won't draw away in
making a runaway race Of things.
Today's instance is directed to-
wards subjecting Eastern because
IF its leading position, slim as it
might be.
All of the favorites will be seen
in action when the teams line up
for play. There will be Lieb,
Waters and zola, of Eastern;
Latona, Payne and Buscher of
Western; Swift and Burke, of
Central, and Shore, Sherman and
Cavanaugh, of Business

The Bidding

.+84 lnC ftluUlUS
 South, the leader, started the contracting with one no trump. He had no biddable suit, but had the required strength for an opening bid. With three suits we'll stopped, the doubleton spade is not a grave liability. West was satisfied with the no trump bid. The diamond suit should not be shown as 1t makes an ideal suit to lead against no trump contract especially as the spade and the club may both prove to be re-entries. North, with a trickless hand, is glad to pass. MT Adams in the East doubled one no trump. This was an in- formatory' double and demanded that partner bid. It showed very strong hand, one containing at least three and one-half quick tricks. | While he had good biddable spade suit to oyercall no trump with, spade bid would not show the full strength of the hand. | therefore a double was the best | bid. South passed.
 Now if West had only passed the double, South would not take more than two tricks-in other words. he would have been down five tricks doubled. and even not vul- nerabIe, this is 1000 points. :. K But West responded with two diamonds. North passed and East then made a bold bid of three spades. When South passed, West I carried the contract to four spades.
 The Play
 The ace of clubs was opened by South, and Mayor Adams boldly discarded the king of clubs. This was the key play of the hand. There may be better plays than the nee of diamonds for south's next trick, but am giving you the hand
