West shifted to the diamond jack, and East cashed the king and ace. South ruffed the diamond return, cashed the ace of spades, ruffed a spade in dummy and cashed the king of clubs. He used his last small trump to ruff the club return, then ruffed the third round of spades with dummy's other small trump, The two clubs remaining in dummy were ruffed with the ace and king of trumps, and the two spades in declarer's hand ruffed with the queen and jack of trump in dummy.
 The play of hand at trump declaration without single trump lead can occur, of course, only on hands of the cross-ruff type. The oretically, a shift to trump by West at trick two or by East at trick four would have been better defense, but the location of the club ace per- mitted the fulf1llment of the con- tract against the best defense.

Boys Club Notes

Considering the lack of experi- ence anI short while the Senior Council has been organized 1t has been most successful in the actiyi- ties it has participated in thus far.
 Much interest is being shown by club members of all departments in the coming annual open house day, Washington's birthday.
 Starting at g a. m. the club will have a program which will keep 1t active till 10 p. m. "Open House Day" is regarded by the members as "A Browning of Champions Day." Shields will be awarded winner of the many events. These same awards will be placed in prom inent places, as are those of other years, in the club building. Talking pictures, basketbaH games, bing0, monopoly, checkers, chess and other popular games, ping T0ng, card tournaments, socials, pool and billiard tournaments, volleybau and badminton tournaments, peanut and track races, swimming and boxing events, and other gym and lobby ac- tivities of all forms will continue all day.
 Parents, family members, and the general public are warmly welcomed to attend the many events on this day at the popular Cottage Place institution.
 The Boys club has been presented 8 worthwhile theme poem. The only worry now is to find a com- poser who will set it to music. The club mascot, Junior ,Cardillo. is the life of the games room and weekly movie night.
 Wouldn't it be nice if the Iannac- cone brothers organize 3 winning quintet for ~pen house day. Then challenge the Varsity.
 Do you know that: Chess, wood- working, soap carving, newspaper, usher, leather, and swimming are but few clubs Boys club is en- titled to- join? The above like all the departmental clubs of the Boys club collect no dues from the boys.
 Vic MannellO is willing to scrap off some of that tan he secured at the summer camp and let pale papOose become an Indian. Lag Iannaccone's art talents in the recent sketches coping classes held in the library are left to his kid brother. That sparkling, glistening, flash ing. drafting set of John Tartaglia is unwillingIy submitted to vaca- ti0n.
