After East's diamond bid, Mr.. Van
derbilt, with a freakish hand, decided
to proceed slowly-hence, he merely
overcalled with one spade. However,
after Mr.. Langdon's two-heart bid,
Mr.. Vanderbilt saw distinct slam pos
abilities, and after East's bid OF three
clubs. he made his first slam invita-
ton by cue-bidding in diamonds.
While Mr.. Langdon had no outside
strength, his heart suit was very
strong-hence he felt justified IN
jumping to four hearts. Now East
was perfectly willing to- sacrifice and
went gaily on to five clubs, whereupon
Mr.. Vanderbilt, being unable to
decide whether he and Mr.. Langdon
had a small or grand slam. invited
seven by the cue-bid of six clubs.
Now Mr.. Langdon studied his hand.
While at first his partner had merely
overcalled, he had subsequently
shown enormous strength by cue-bid-
ding in both of the opponents suits.
In addition, instead of simply bidding
six hearts, Mr.. Vanderbilt had made
q cue-bid in clubs at the range OF
six, intimating that the grand slam
could be made if Mr.. Langdon's heart
suit we're absolutely solid. Having
arrived at this conclusion, Mr.. Lang
don contracted for the grand slam,
which was laydown.

crs to their island. their latest gesture
has been to address a night letter from

his throne for woman.
There is one person in st. Croix whom
we know was likely to suggest such
manner of attracting attention to our
island and that man is the Hon. Joseph
Alexander; but he know that when the
tourists come there would be no hotel

Upset Victory
By GARRETT WATERS

Western High Schools talented
basketball team hopes to break
the ice today when it meets the
undefeated Eastern machine in an
interhigh series game at the Cen
trail gymnasium at 3:45 p. m.
At present the GeorgetownerS
have the best chance Of turning
the trick. The team is comfort
ably situated in the runnerup po-
sition in the standings and holds
down that post because Of right
fair display of basketball proves
since the opening of the series
some three weeks ago.
There will be no abSenteeS be-
cause of scholastic ineligibility
when Coach Moore sends his
lineup into action. Paul Borden
will be there to jump center. Ger
aid Burns and Gene DAILY will be
on hand as forwards, while Char
lie Wells and Bill Hop" Lomax
will hold down the back court.
Today's contest is being played
at the Central gym because Of a
scheduled "Senior Prom" at Roo =
welt tonight. Seniors at Roosevelt
are decorating the gym today
whereas they couldn't possibly
have gotten it in readiness had a
basketball game been played.
Three Other Games
Three other contests are on
schedule today. Georgetown Prep
invades Alexandria to play the
Episcopal High five, Annapolis
High meets Montgomery-Blair st

cages Gonzaga.
The former two tits are at $3.50

Central Loses
Lady Luck failed to keep her en-
gagement at Central High School
gymnasium yesterday, and that's
why Central dropped a, 25-to-24 de,

School, of Richmond, Va.
Had Lady Luck been present
Billy Vermillon'S last-minute long
shot would undoubtedly found its
mark. AS it was, the ball bounced
around the rim for about 20 sec
ondS before deciding to drop on
the outside of the basket.

Ponders Ring Changes

In an effort to develop a Vir-
GINA team that can take the
measure of Maryland's boxers in
the Richie Coliseum tomorrow
night, JOHNNY LaRowe, veteran
coach of the Cavaliers, is consider
ing shift in lineup that may in
volve four of the eight weight
classes in the dual meet.
Captain Maynard Womer, well
terweight, and Fred Cramer,
heavyweight, both in dividual
champions of the Southern Con-
ference, can be counted on as
practically certain entries. The
same is true of George Cary,
featherweight, and Marion Brooks,
lightweight. But the four other
men may differ from those who
faced North Carolina last week in
the match which Virginia won
6 to 2.
Two Of the Virginians, who
dropped points to the Carolinians,
may be replaced. John Simpson,
novice bantamweight who is now
on the squad this year, may give
way to the hard hitting Italo
Charamello, who has been on the
squad for two seasons but who was
forced to act as Sparring partner
for the skilled Archie Hahn, jr.,
Conference champion.
