is given four match points for de-
feating the other four pairs who
play the same hand In the same
direction, either North and South
or East and West. Their opponents
get zero.
Two other pairs, let US say, bid
and make four spades. They di.
vide second and third places, get
ting three points plus two points,
divided by two, or as match points.
Their respective opponents each get
Is points. Another pair stops the
contract at three spades and makes
four odd. They are given one match
point. The fifth pair stretches the
bidding and attempts a small slam.
They are set, and their score is zero,
while their opponents are given q
clear top Of four points because the
scores Of the two opponents at play
against each other must balance.
The match points are calculated
from the playing points which are
the same as in rubber bridge, except
that so points in the honor score
are awarded for bidding and max
ing a part score that Is less than
game. If they bid two and make
four, they do not score game, but the
two overtricks are recorded at their
trick value in the honor score, and
they also get so additional points
"above the line" Three hundred
points "above the line" is the bonus
for bidding and making game when
the side Is not vulnerable, and 500
is the bonus If game is bid and
made when vulnerable. This is
purely an arbitrary rule. Three no.
trump bid and four made when
vulnerable gives the side $50 playing
points. 500 for vulnerable game.
100 for three no-trump bid and so
for the overtrick. If this score Is
the best made on the hand, 1t gives
the pair making 1t top match point
rating on that hand. The TOD
match point number is always one
less than the number Of tables. II,
for instance. there are 10 tables IN
play, top on the board is nine. To
correspond the pair against which
top was made scores zero.
The Rajahs maintained their
place at the head of the Federal
Bridge League in its team of four
games last Tuesday night at the
Wardman Park Hotel. They won
16 out of "a boards. Both pairs were
high also in match points, DR.. and
Mrs. A. ]. Steinberg with 74la
points North and Sotth and A. I.
Westrich and H. r. King with 691a
match points East and West. The
Allies, who had made a fine showing
the week before and crawled into
second place. had reversal of form
and dropped into fourth position,
second place going to the Excess
Reserves.
In section "B," the I. D. r. A.
mems team won IA out of "a boards
which just enabled them to get into
the first division. North and South
pair winners were r. E. Mullen and
j. Roster, Redskins, with 681a match
points, while Mr.. and Mrs. w. A.
Gardner were high East and West
with 68 points.
Section &C" winners were the Fed
eral Reserves who had 1912 boards
out Of 81. High pair score North and
South went to Mr.. and Mrs. p. T.
Phenney. Federal Reserves, with 69la
match points, and Mrs. Katherine
Fenton and Miss Laura Grifnth,
Fairchance, were high East and
West with GA points.
There were several changes In the
lineup. One Of the most notable
was the Mixed Party team which
dropped to the third division. The
Rangers also fell to third position in
the same division.

U. 5. Infantry Tactics
Are eReyoIutionized .
In Manual Just Out
Greater Coordination
With Other Arms Stressed
As Lesson Of Europe

A revised infantry manuel revolu-
tionizing the combat tactics Of the
United States infantry as q result
of European war lessons was being
distributed today among the troops.
Secretary Of War Stimson said at
Z press conference yesterday that the
new tactics would emphasize de-
Capitalization in infantry combat, q
tactic in which the Germans showed
high skill" in last summers fighting
on land.
The old World War plan Of adj
vancing in strength on broad fronts
has been discarded, Mr.. Stimson
said. and the infantrymen Of today
would seek to concentrate in pene-
trating soft spots in the enemy
formation"
A statement issued at the same
time by Maj. Gen. George A. Lynch,
chief of infantry, described the new
tactics as revolution" such as
never before occurred in. the Amer
lean Army in peacetime.
Greater Coordination Stressed.
Because of the heavier machine
guns and mortarS with which mod
ern armies equip certain infantry
units, Gen. Lynch asserted, "it has
become very clear that the rifleman
can no longer shoot his way for
ward" but must coordinate his
movement with supporting fire OF
artillery, aviation and -armored units
as well as with that of adjacent in
fantry units.
Previous regulations have been
based upon the idea that the attack
ing riflemen was committed to one
or two forms of activity in battle,
Gen. Lynch continued. He was
either in movement or he was firing
80 His activity is no longer limited
to firing and moving. During much
of his time in battle he will be In
a cover position in readiness either
to move or to fire"
Gen. Lynch asserted that under
the new tactics mo attempt is made
to maintain alignment Of units"
The infantry chief. however, chal-
lenged contentious that tanks can
sweep infantry from the battlefield,
an impression which he said was Gre
ated by the advent Of fast tanks
in recent European operations.
Danger Is Reduced.
with the introduction of light
man-handled anti-tank weapons in
the forward infantry zone, backed
up by the anti-tank guns in the regi-
mental zone, and the training Of in
fantry soldiers to take cover in fox
holes or other places unfavorable to
tank attack while the tanks pass
over. the danger of tank attack
crushing the infantry has been re-
duced." he said.
Gen. Lynch added that equipping
the infantry with semi-automatic
rifles has increased the foot soldiers
anti-aircraft fire power. In the
present infantry regiment, he said,
the riflemen and automatic rife
SQUADS are the most effective Of all
types of small arms fire against dive
bombing.
Dispersed infantry units present
. small target to the attacking
piane," he explained, "and at the
same time the concentration Of their
fire produces storm of steel over
their heads. Foreign reports indi-
cate that the concentration of small
arms fire is more deadly to the low
flying airplane than anti:aircraft
guns, which may be discovered prior
to the attack"

PRINCETON, n. J. - President
Roosevelt's nomination to his cabi-
net of two prominent Republicans,
Colonel Frank Knox and Henry l..
Stimson. meets with the over
whelming approval of voters polled
throughout the country by the
American Institute of Public opin-
ion.
Knox and Stimson, named as
secretary of the navy and secre-
tary of war, respectively, were
quizzed early this week before
senate committees. If confirma-
ton of their appointment had been
left to the people, the poll indicates
that it would have been approved
by a vote of more than I TO 3. OF
course, the survey does not meas
ure the public reaction, if any, to
the statements made by Knox and
Stimson before the senate COM
mittees.
While many Of the presi-
dents Republican opponents
have criticized the appoint
ments on the ground that they
were merely a political ges-
turc, the survey shows that
this IL not the view taken by
the general public. The presi-
dents action Is approved not
