Mark of Columbus, O., who was one of the leading representatives of the Ohio capital at the Ohio state tournament in Cleveland last month, realized that he probably was down one one his pre-emp- tive bid on the hand below. How ever, he seized the one faint chance there was to make his contract, and was rewarded with finding every vital card where he wanted it to be.
 The bid may have been little unusual, but there were lots of high cards, to say nothing of the void in clubs; and Dr. Mark, who likes to make it a bit difficult for

the greatest assurance led the dia- mond seven.
 Dr. Mark won this trick with the diamond ace, and did little count ing. If the diamond was a singleton, and East held either the ace of spades or the ace of clubs. nothing could save him, but if West held both aces, there was way to win. This he found by the lead of the king of clubs. When East failed to play the ace, the last losing heart was discarded and West won, but his only remaining trick was the ace of trumps.
 West should have opened his singleton. Unless he got ruff, he could not win a second trump trick, and his desire to cash a trick be- fore establishing his ruffer was rightly punished.

Local college basketball teams
broke even in their engagements
last night, with Georgetown los
ing to New York University in the
late stages of the game at Madi-
son Square Garden, New York,
before a 10000 turnout, 49.41;
and the University of Maryland
coming through to win its second
game in as many nights, trounc-
ing Randolph.Macon at College
Park, 43-27.
Playing in the opening game of
one of Ned Irish'S famous bar
gan bills, the Georgetown quintet
had the game virtually in the bag
until late in the final chapter,
when the old defense fell to pieces
and the Gotham Violets turned
on the Set-Shot heat. At the time
of the Hoya collapse the Wash
ington collegians were leading
1881.
Then from out of nowhere
came the Violet barrage of points
with N. Y. U. deadlocking the
score at 41-all with five minutes
to go. Irwin Witty, New York
center, then staged a one-man act
to push the team ahead with a
couple of field goals and George
town bowed out of the picture
from then to the finish.
The defeat by the Violets
marked the first time in three
years that Georgetown has been
upset by New York u. who has
been comparatively easy for the
local team not only in basketball,
but the the football business as
we'll.
AS far as Maryland and its bas-
ketban team is concerned, the
Terrapin floor brigade has evi-
IDENTIFY found its scoring eye and
everything that goes with it.
