one of the first lessons taught the beginner at bridge is to lead trump at the earliest opportunity. This is 8 sound rule, but, like all rules, it has it's exceptions.
 It is also considered generally a waste of time, if not worse, to lead trump when there is only one way out of a difficulty, and in such case to play the highest trump left.
 Today's hand is an example, however, where @ very good player found excellent use for his oppon- ent's master trump, and that was to throw the lead to him when the proper moment came. By doing so, he avoided f1nesse in clubs that tempted others to their sor- row.
 When South saw dummy, he feared he had been too conserva- tive, as the trump suit seemed solid. with only three outstanding

learned the bad news that he must lose a trump trick to West, and the question no longer was one of rnak- ing seven, but whether he could make six.
 He led a second round of spades, then caShed the diamond king and entered dummy with Q heart. A diamond was returned and ruffed by the closed hand, and the other high heart in dummy was used as an entry to lead another round of diamonds, which was ruffed in the closed hand.
 Now the heart ten was led. De- clarer did not care whether West had any more hearts or not, for he could lose only one trick. West fol- lowed suit, and South now led a spade, forcing West into the lead.
 Thus the feared club finesse was avoided, because eWst had to lead that suit.

PLAYS
 HOP BROOK FIVE

Naugatuck, Dec. 1.-The high school gym is expected to be packed tonight when the feature match thus far of the local Grammar School Basketball league will be played. Hop Brook and Prospect, the two teams tied for the lead, will meet and the result may ultimately decide the league championship. Of course there are still many games to be played, but win for either of these tonight should give them 8 good lead.
 Hop Brook has been flashing sen- sational play this year having trounced its adversaries thus far by one-sided scores. Prospect has sown quite an edge over the quin- tets it has met and a fine battle is expected.
 One of the main reasons for the progress of the Hop Brook five has been the coaching of Paul M. Beardsley, former Killer star. MT. Beardsley has drilled the team in numerous plays and they have car- ried out his system quite well so far. Whether it will work tonight remains to be seen.

NAUCY Y MEN
 MORE OPTIMISTIC
South Manchester, Beaten By Them, Win Round
 Robin Tourney

Naugatuck, Dec. 11-Chances of the Naugatuck Y. M. c. A. volley ball team to capture the champion ship of the newly-formed Southern New England volley ball league 1omed brighter today when it was learned South Manchester finished first in matches in the league at South Manchester last Saturday.
 One-half of the leagues games wer played at Naugatuck Saturday and the other half at Manchester. Naugatuck won all of its matches here and Manchester beat Provi- dence, Somerville, Mass and Bristol there.
 Naugatuck's hopes of future tri- umphS are raised because the local team has in recent years been able to consistently defeat the Man. chester team and members of the local combine now feel that if South Manchester was able to beat teams it played, Naugatuck should therefore be able to trim these other combines.
 One of the surprises of the play in Manchester Saturday was that which has long had quite strong team, finished last in the round robin tourney. Somer- vile was second to Manchester and Bristol, Conn. was third. Providence past years but apparently is not as strong this year.
 The local net combine does not play any more league games until January g, but Manager Edgar Wy att is trying to book home-and- home matches with Bridgeport in the meantime.
 Bridgeport upset the dope Satur- Jay by being the only outfit able to extend Naugatuck to three games. The locals feel further practice with this team would help both com- pines.

TWO MAIN TILTS BILLED ON FINE BOUT PROGRAM
New Faces to Show on Buckingham Hall; Lan-
 thier vs DagiIis

Two more local wrestling favorites are about to be made this evenin, if preliminary reports of the prow- ess of Paul Zininski of Poland and Jim aharias of Greece are true, for the opportunity to win the favor Of the fans during a five bout pro- gram, arranged by Promoter Joe Zonsin, that includes two main bouts featuring Max The Panther against alinski and Lilo Nardi of Torrington, who holds the Connec- ticut heavyweight wrestling cham pionship to meet James J. McMul- len, whose mat work in midwest ern cities has been exceptionally good.
 Big Chance
 In bringing Zalinski to this city, onsin believes that he has the man who can test the Panther to the limit, especially as the Polish star is anxious to make a fine showing on the first test before Waterbury fans. Nardi, will also have his hands full in trying to pin McMul- len, both bouts to go to 90-minute time limit if necessary or two of three falls.
 Maurice Leo Cevell, the we'll built Frenchman who never fails to give lively and pleasant perform ance takes on Jim Zaharias, a Greek wrestler who knows all the holds and has the strength to put them where they will do the most good. On paper, this bout looks to be one of the outstanding events of the pro- gram for there should be plenty of action from the principals once the bout ge6 under way.
 Promising
 Another interesting pairing that has much promise from a stand point of entertainment, brings to- gether George Dagilis, the Ansonia Lithuanian, who gave the Panther a great tussle two weeks ago and will probably move up into the main bout class if he can defeat Dalilis.
 Jack Doyle, Columbia university student and Prince Monongo a Hin- du of ability are paired in the op- ening bout, which will begin at 8:3O o'clock, the boys to be introduced by Announcer Jack Freney, who will wear his Friday ensemble, number 372B.

NAUCATUCK HOOP
 SQUAD PROMISING

Naugatuck, Dec. 11-Hopes that Naugatuck will have fairly good basketball team were raised Wed. nesday by a practice game between the Seymour and local high school quintets with Naugatuck winning by about a 30-27 score.
 The local team is expected to have some veterans from last year back but smallness of some of it's stars may handicap it. Both Weary and Sweeney who were outstanding last year are comparatively small and 1t is believed the team will have to depend on deceptive passs ing attack this year.
 Up to today no game had been booked before the encounter with the Alumni near the end of this month. An effort to book the Litchs field Junior Republic five was made but no results have yet been res ceived
