West opened the ace of diamonds
and continued the suit, East ruffing.
East then returned a low heart,
dummy winning with the queen
The queen of spades was led from
dummy for a finesse, but West won
with the king and led another dia-
mond for East to ruff. South was
thus set one trick.
A bridge crime has taken place.
See if you can spot the crime and
the criminal before you read on.
The crime was not in the bidding
even though a contract of three no
trump could have been fulfilled
without any trouble. The contract
of four spades was quite logical
and should have been made despite
EaSt's shortness in diamonds. South
was the criminal and his crime
consisted in taking a finesse in the
trump suit.
Correct play was to play the ace
of spades instead of letting the
queen ride. Then low spade could
have been led to knock out the king
and East would have had no trumps
left with which to ruff diamonds.
South could we'll afford to lose
trump trick to the king, so the
finesse was not needed for the con-
tract. But, as he found out to his
sorrow, he could not afford to lose
a trump trick to the king and
another to East by way of second
diamond ruff.

crease his total for the season to

the 1941 record for ,842 yards. held
until today by Bill Dudley of Vir-

Bud established the new passing
record week ago but todays re-
suits boosted his season total to ia
competitions in 234 attempts.

once if you played the 11-game
parlay 2,O43 times-and since you'd
be paid only l00-l. you wouldn't
need an adding machine to figure
who made money on the deal.
Five years ago the gamblers were
offering IL odds on a four-Way tic
ket. 25-1 on a seven-game parlay.
The odds look better today, says
DR.. Kefner. but here's the catch.
Previously it simply was question
of picking the winner. Today the
cards balance uneven teams by CIV
ing or demanding points.
There are two imponderableS in
a football pool explains DR.. Hef-
ner. One is a persons judgement
in evaluating the teams: the second
is the possibility of tie-games. If
the teams tie. you lose. The present
system of giving or demanding
points greatly increases the posi-
bility of ties. Mathematically. it
would be impractical TO try to re-
duce it to figures"
A skillful player. who follows foot
ball closely. may better the mathe-
matical odds against probable sue

Longest Scoring Doshes

CHICAGO, Nov. %. - Western
Conference football teams resorted
to fewer passes in league play this
season, but the payoff was greater
than in 1910.
Statistics released today showed
that while scoring in general

number Of passes thrown a game

25 Passes Get Scores.

we're good for touchdowns, as against

The bulk of scoring, however, in
title games continued on the ground
and from close to the goal line. Of
a total of 81 touchdowns, 62 were
made by rushing and AZ of those
came from within the 10-yard stripe.
In all, teams averaged 236 points
for % conference games, one better
than the 1910 average and two
points above the 1889 mark
Average yardage gained from

Pirro will use the same system he
learned under "Fod" Cotton, with

figures to be a lot faster than the
