New Coaches Guide Boston College,
 Holy Cross Game
BY TOM NOONAN United Press Staff Corresnon

AAeSs StdiI COrreSpOndent)
 Boston, Dec. 1.-(UP)-Two for mer Notre Dame football players who have gained national recoenl- ton In their first year as head coaches prepped Holy Cross and Boston College today for Sat,r. days clash here to settle the mythi. cal New England championship.
 Both Joseph (Joe) Sheeketski ano Frank Leahy. who was credited with developing the seven blocks oi granite" as a Fordham line coach started the current campaign as successors to coaches with establish ed regulations.
 Sheeketski, backfield coach al Holy Cross for six seasons, replaced Dr. Eddie Anderson whose teams compiled a record of 46 wins, seven losses and four ties in that same period. Anderson resigned to ac. cept the post at Iowa where he won new laurels this season.
 Leahy took over the reins re. linqutshed by the veteran Gilmoui Gloomy GID Dobie whose teams won more games than those of any other men or in colelge football his- tory. Though Dobie's teams gained more than three times as many victories as defeats; he quit be. cause of the vociferous protests Of rabid alumni and students after three years here.
 The youthful Notre Dame men Sheeketski is 29 and Leahy 30-both stepped into difficult assignments Holy Cross dropped only a one- point de cision 10 Carnegie Tech .I1 1888 whlei Boston College lost but to Holy Cross.
 Leahy's task probably was quite bit tougher as he had to replace the antiquated Dobie system with a strIamlned veirsion of that of his teacher, Knute Rockne.
 Holy Cross and Boston College each have lost one game-both .c southern teams. The over-confdent Crusaders after trouncing Man. l.n:tan in the opener. were routed 26-7 by Louisiana State. B. c dropped a TO victory to Florida in the third game after muffing five scoring chances.
 Since the LSU debacle, Holy Cross has compiled the second best offen- sive and defensive record east of the Mississippi to win six straight games by impressive scores. The Crusaders have amassed Al points against a lone touchdown by Col gate In that stretch. In Its 21-C win over Carnegie Tech, Holy Cross scored more points than the Skibos opponents had all season.
 Boston Colleges defeat came af- ter two lop-sided wins over minor opposition before the Leahy system was assimilated completely. But like their Jesulit rivals, the Eagles also enter the last lap with six victories in a row. The team turned in its most impressive performance Saturday with a crushing. 38-7 tri- umph over Kansas State which had yielded narrow wins to Missouri and Oklahoma.
 The striking resemblance between the coaches and their records ends when their personalities are com 1 pared. Sheeketski. who says he never worries about the outcome predicted Holy Cross will be at it's peak this Saturday. Leahy. who seems to have inherited Dobie,s pes- simism. said Maybe we reached our peak last Saturday."

PHILLIPS PLACE ALL BUT TWO
 ON TRADE LIST
Sweeping HOusecleaning Due Save for Higbe and
 Mulcahy

(Unlte0 tTeSS StdH COTEtSpOnucHtl
 Philadelphia, Dec. 1-(UP)-When the major league baseball moguls gather in Cincinnati for their an- nual winter meeting, every member for the Philadelphia Phillies except two will be on the trading block.
 Except for pitchers Hugh Null cahy and Kirby Higbe, the cellar dwelling National Leaguers are ready to trade anything for more hitting power.
 Cash, however, will be no objec- tive as 1t has so many times in the past.
 Morrie Arnovich. who led the National League batters for the first half of the 1899 season, is among those on the trading list.
 To Build Extensively
 If we can get two or three good hitters in exchange for Arnovich or somebody else, we'll snatch them up, Gerry Nugent, president, de- clared. We need more punch If the Phillies are going to move up a notch or two next season."
 Evidence that general house. cleaning is in order began with the sale of Spud Davis, veteran catcher, to Pittsburgh. Nugent and his man. ager, Doc Protho. are determined to build the Phillies on young blood.
 Only Mulcahy and Higbe are as- sured berths on the team next sea- son. Higbe, many baseball men be- lieve, will blossom into a star while Mulcahy has always showed prom ise.
 For first base the Phillies hope to land zeke Bonura, heavy hitter, but poor fielder.
 Gus Suhr Nearly Through
 His hitting would more than offset his field lapses," Nugent said of course we have Gus Suhr, a 300 hitter, and Young Jack Boiling for first base. Gus can't go much longer and Jack has considerable to learn about hitting"
 But all the other positions are wide-open. Although over-stocked with outfielders. not one of them is sure of regular berth.
 In addition to the strength they hope to acquire through trades. the

. MeKENNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
Two Opening Bids Plus Raise Equals Safe Slam in
 Goren System

This is the third of a series of six articles on the hand valua- tion system advocated by Charles H. Goren, Philadelphia expert, in his book, "Highlights of Winning Bridge"
 An opening bid facing an open ing bid, followed by raise from two to three, suggest slam possi- bilities, says Goren.
 In today's hand, for example, when South raises two hearts to three, North, having an opening bid, will go at least to game; but he now sees the possibility of a slam if the hands fit well and have enough controls. He explores these possibilities by whatever slam convention the partners employ.
 The suggested bidding after three hearts is that employed in the di- rect method CFour Aces system) The showing of aces and South's continued interest in striving for the slam make the eventual slam bid by North a good gamble.
 Against any lead but a club, the slam would be laydown, as North can establish his diamonds for the discard of South's small club. But even with the club opening. the slam is there, as the the discard of a club from heteta spade suit can be established for the discard of a club from the

The jump to four hearts should not be misinterpreted as 'pre-empt" against the opponents. It surely shows . stronger hand than would be shown by a mere three-heart bid, and therefore makes the slam bid obligatory on North.
