North bet his partner that the
contract of 5-Hearts could have
been fulfilled, and appealed to me

lost two spade tricks and a club

trick. Look it over before reading
how 5-odd may be made against

DRY FOOTBALL
(NeW York World Telegram)

(NeW York World Telegraph
 In symbolic gesture of frisking the coonskin coats for hip fasks President Harold w. Dodds of Princeton University has requested all ticket holders that they leave their liquor behind when coming to Princeton football games
 Many a football enthusiast will remember back from his request to parcuar game when he stay ed through to the final whistle regardless of wind loaded with sharp ice and the temperature reaching down for zero How to stand it without drink? Pres ldent Dodds is virtually saying Let them eat ice cream cones'
 But, the other hand, the universities are entitled to sympathy too for there have been plenty football crowds to whom tearing the goal posts merely start What is the university to do with it's alumni docking back by the thousands to the big homecoming whooping up in search of their youth and shouting the blessings of higher education the farthest stars? So long as the universities are willing to furnish the big seasonal athletic excitement after baseball giving the public what it wants and taking the publics mon- ey the problem of football crowds is likely to be more practical than academic. Dr. Dodds showed he was a practical man by merely uttering request" He isn't going in for prohibition Perhaps the next step may be to take the profits of good season and aircon- dltlon the stands against November cold
 Otherwise the second string football players might be organized into flying wedge, like the walters at Jacks, to give obsreperous spectators the bums rush We hope sweet reasonabeness will prevent it's going that far.
