. MekENNEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ
Vanderbilt System Provides Easy Escape from Inter-
ference Bidding

the responding hand holds two
quick tricks or more.
A free response over the double
shows natural response, but de-
MES that the responding hand holds
two quick tricks. Thus the respond
ing hand can save round OF bid
ding In this situation, as he will
simply show his suit, instead Of
making the regulation response Of
one diamond TO disclose that he
does not hold two quick tricks. For
example should there be no inter-
ference bidding and the responding
hand holds: spades, @ 10 4 3 q;
hearts, 3 2; diamonds, @ 8 g.:
clubs, 3 2, the bidding would go:
South North
heart ! spade
club ! diamond
heart spade
II West doubles one club, North
simply bids one spade, showing an
ordinary spade response, with the
probability that the responder held
five spades.
A pass over a double indicates a
very weak hand, and this again
saves a round Of bidding as 1t shows
a hand on which a diamond re-
spouse would have been made, with
the added inference that the next
response would have ben OF no ma
terial help.
Should second hand overcall an
opening club bid at the DANCE OF
one, a double by the responding
hand Is not for penalties, but In
dicates that the hand contains a
positive response which would have
been made had there been no infer
ference bidding.
IT has been the experience Of the
MISUNDERSTANDING partnership,
that, contrary to widely-held the
DRY, penalty doubles OF one are Of
little value. 1t Is often stated that
such doubles earn fruitful penalties,
but experience has tended to dis
prove the assertion.
II the adverse contract Is penal
lied severely, then there Is generally
game somewhere In the combined
hands. Also, fair players, and even
distinctly poor players, often find a
rescue suit, with nine or ten cards
of 1t In the combined hands.
A still further disadvantage Of
early penalty doubles In this situa-
ton is that further adverse bidding
Is stopped. 1t might be said with the
utmost emphasis that the whole
theory of the fruitful penalty dou-
bles of low bids goes back to the
time when bridge players did not
know how to overcall; in other
words that the overcaller lacked
card sense" which might be defined
as a feeling for the tricks that a
certain combination of cards will
deliver.

Walker, Ex-Yale
End, Joins u. S.
Marine Corps

Anthony Walker, Yale football
player and all around athlete en-
listed In the United States Marine
corps, In New York yesterday with
the idea OF winning q commission
as second lieutenant. He was sworn
In as O Marine by Lieutenant Col
onel Walter q. Sheard at the Ma
rine Recruiting headquarters, 1918
Federal ONCE building, and left for
the Marine Recruit depot at Paris
Island, s. s., where he will receive
the three months intensive military
training given to all Marine re-
cruits.
Walker was graduate from Yale
with O bachelor OF arts degree In
1887. While at Old Ell he estab-
iished an enviable reputation not
only as football players, but for
all around athletic versatility.
For three years he was a member
OF the varsity squad. candidate
for end position, and while he was
not In O class with Captain Larry"
Kelly, his team-mate, he easily won
his letter. His other sports were
boxing, at which he was the leading
member OF the college squad In the
heavyweight class, and track, where
he distinguished himself at the
broad Jump and weight-throwing
events.
Ambitious
BY his enlistment as Marine,
Walker hopes to become q success
full candidate for a commission as
an ofiicer In the Leathernecks. "In
view Of the present troubled world
conditions" he said, IT believe that
a career as an officer In the military
service Is just about the most Inn
portant profession for himself and
this country that a young American
can take up. I hope to become a
Marine flyer, but II that Is not pos
sible there are other branches OF
the corps that are Just as attrac-
tive"
To be successful as a candidate
for commission In the Marine corps,
a young man must have served two
full years In the ranks and have
won q warrant as non-commis-
stoned ofiicer. Such candidates are
selected by competitive examina-
ton, and a considerable percentage
are included in every group chosen
to fill vacancies In the Leathernecks'
officers corps.
Many widely known Marine off,
GERS in the past have won their
commissions in this way. Among
these is Major Frank Goettge, Of
Ohio University. former All-Ameri-
can football player, Major Harry
Liversedge, California and Olympic
shot putter and many others.
Walker was born 81 years ago In
Baltimore, Maryland, and his pres
ent home Is with his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. John r. Walker, of 2l07

BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Stafr Correspondent

Tennessee team OF this year as the
finest defensive unit he has ever
seen.
"rt Is the only team I ever saw
that 1t Is impossible to fool, even
for one time In q ball game. You
can throw everything at them that
there Is In the book, and you can
throw everything at them that
there is In your head, and you still
can't cross Them" Thomas told me.
1.-THE Vols will let you make first
down when you are In midfield and
back In your own territory. But get
close to home and that sliding de-
tense, with Its unorthodox end play,
changes to q fast-charging, straight
away line that limits gains to little
or nothing"
Thomas pointed out that Tennes-
see Is q team that does not allow
long runs against II. The Vols make
you go the hard way for what scores
you get.
No Weaknesses
I'VE have played Tennessee nine
times" Thomas said, winning four,
losing four, and tying one. In those
nine games, and we threw such
backs at them as John Cain and
Dixie Howell, our longest gain, In
Guiding passes, was O 36-yard run
by Rubber Walker, way back In
1888. One Of the toughest Jobs any
coach can have Is To sit on the
bench and try TO find q weakness to
exploit In the Tennessee defense"
Thomas praise was reminiscent
of Coach Jock Sutherland's remarks
after watching Tennessee whip
Alabama, q to 0, early this year.
Despite the amazing offensive bril-
LANCE Of Cafeo, Butler and Foxx,
Sutherland's eye was caught by the
defensive strength Of the volun-
teers.
"It is one Of the few games have
ever seen," he said afterwards, "in
which O defense did not make o
single mistake. ! don't believe any
one will score on Tennessee all
year."
Just as Cafego Is the key man on
the offense, Jimmy Rike, center, Is
the director OF the defense. He calls
the defensiv signals, and judging
from the results, must know only
slightly less football than Coach
Bob Neyland.
'Standout
Speaking OF Cafego, football
students In this section who have
seen Tennessee in most Of It's games
this year, believe the West Virginia
Hungarian Is 80 per cent OF the
teams strength on offense. He Is the
one back on the team who doesn't
need the most effective blocking to
jick up yards. He Is far and away
the best strategist on the team, and
the other members Of the squad
have complete confidence In him.
He Is inspirational, and at the same
time @ tremendous steadying in
fiuence. When Cafego Is on the
field the team has the poise Of o
seasoned, professional outfit.
Report Is that he will be 100 per
cent. ready for the Rose Bowl game,
despite the fact that he went out
on the third play Of the game
against Kentucky two weeks ago.
and lasted, but two plays against
Auburn last Saturday. The coaches
were taking no chances with Cafego
in these games, they wanted him to
be ready for the Rose Bowl game
which they couldn't help but believe
was coming up.
