A correspondent has asked me to
explain the Grand Coup, one of the
spectacular plays by the declarer,
with a name that has come down
the ages since whist was in its in
fancy.
The coup essentially is trump
reducing play, and gets its name
from the fact that in reducing his
own trumps to the length held by

Many radio programs for chill
dren produce violent physiology
cal reactions which are likely to
have unsatisfactory emotional eff
fects, according to research car
ried on for Pho. degree at the
University of Chicago. Those
radio programs for children which
are educational are so only by ac-
cident, because radio, belongs to
the advertising department of
American business, and not to the
educational agencies Of the coun-
try, the thesis points out. The
study of the children's program
is reported by John J. DeBoer,
whose doctoral thesis is entitled
"The Emotional Responses of
Children to Radio Drama"
Children will listen avidly to
radio stories if they have action
and conflict, and the more ele-
mentary the conflict is the wider
the child audience is likely to be.
A poor program, with morbid
scenes or with inaccurate and
misleading portrayals of life is
just as likely to elicit strong emo
tional responses as an artistically
prepared program" Radio drama
is easily the first choice of chill
dren, according to their own ex-
preston of preference, with adj
venture drama the favorite.
Drama is the choice of children in
grades five to eight and is Sec
ond among the children of lower
grades, whose first choice is for
narrative. Four of the five pro-
grams which are most popular
with young listeners are based on
adventure material.

BALLSTON after
ALL-STAR GAME
By CHICK KENNY

The Washington Redskins, pro-
fessional football champions, will
say goodbye" to the Ballston
Stadium at Arlington. Va, follow
ing the final session of practice
before entraining for Chicago
Saturday.
When the team returns to its
training base following the exhi-
bition games with the Nations All
Stars in Soldier Field, one week
from tomorrow night, and the
battle with the Southwest ALI
Stars at Dallas, Texas, Labor Day
night, it will hold its daily work
outs at Fairlawn Field, Anacostia,
where the team practiced last
season.
Reason advanced for the change
is that the distance is too far from
Washington. The team is forced
to go by bus to the present site
and nearly an hour is lost in trans
pO1 LdL1OI4 cdCI1 Odys
FAIR LUCK AT FAIRLAWN
Perhaps there is bit of the
superstition connected with the
change, also. Last year the Red
skins captured the prize crown Of
the National greenback circuit
and the team whipped itself in
condition to win the championship
at Fairlawn. why change our
luck?" is the answer given by the
Redskins.
Well, there may be something
to it-thiS superstition.
Hardly has the team recovered
from its aches and bruises as a
result of the regulation intra-
squad game last Sunday, than it
will be put through another Cruel
ling test tomorrow afternoon.
Result of this stiff workout will
mean that eight more candidates
for the club must be given the axe.
This Scrimmage, which bids fair
to be a classic, is billed for two
o'clock and is scheduled for the
period of an hour.
For the greater part Of the
planned Scrimmage rookie play
ers will constitute the activity as
it is from this section Of the team
that most of the cuts will be made.
EXCUSED FROM PRACTICE
Players excused from tomor-
rows scrimmage include Sammy
Baugh, suffering from a slight
foot bruise; Ed Justice, halfback,
whose shoulders we're injured in
Sundays tilt; Don Irwin, fullback,
who twisted his knee, and Bob
Masterson, Sc nsational rookie
flankman from the University Of
Miami, who is down with a badly
bumped knee.
DR.. Robert "Pete" Moran, team
physician, said the injured mem
bers of the squad should be in
their right fettle no later than
Friday.
The Redskins are booked to
stage their first and only workout
under the lights before leaving for
Chicago, Thursday evening at
Ballston. Thursday morning is ex-
pected to find the Skins idle with
light practice slated for the after
noon, and a good practice start
ing around 8 o'clock in the even
ing.

told him he would have the

believed I'd just keep him and
take him out and win the Santa
Anita with him in 1910 myself"
And maybe she will. I hope
so.
There is one stall at the Kill
