Herald's Free Offer
Draws Much Interest

That the Herald and Orpheum
offer of two free theater tickets to
the person whose name is found In
an ad in this paper each week. is
creating a great deal Of interest Is
most evident by the inquiries being
received at this office with the cor
rect solution or query as to the name
of the lucky person.
The ads in the Herald are being
read very carefully by the subscrib-
ers and they report a great deal of
fun, both in finding the name and
deciphering it after discovery. In
some ad in the paper this week ap-
pears a jumbled up name. Perhaps
1t is yours. Look carefully for 1t. II
Is a good game for the whole family.
See who can make 1t out first.
The two lucky names appearing so
far were those OF Alvin Aspelund,
local mail carrier. and William Lang
lois. local agent for the Continental
Oil Co.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
Two Needed In Defense - McKenney Shows Hand Whicl Could Have Been Made But For Partnership
 Playing Of Opposition.
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League

recently asked waldemar Won Zedtwitz, one of the out standing card players of the country, which, in his opinion, was the more difficult--defense play or "playing the dummy" l was surprised at his answer.
 Most people judge good card player by his ability to make good defensive plays. However, Won Zedtwitz said, "The declarer has two persons trying to defeat him. The bidding and the final contract give them a good picture of the .declarer's hand. Two per- sons working against one, with q good knowledge of what the de- clarer holds, should be able to de- fend the hand properly"
 I agree with him, but only when the two opponents are play ing partnership bridge, when both are really trying to defeat the contract.
 Today's hand is one of the best examples of partnership defense that have seen in a long time. It was played by two fine Cleveland players, Louis Klein in the East, and Alex Printz in the West.
 The Play
 Printz cashed his king, queen, and ace of hearts and stopped to take inventory. The opponents
