East should have made a bid at
some point, but knew his partner
to be very dangerous bidder and
was afraid of getting too high. His
failure to bid, however, should not
have affected the play.
West opened the jack of clubs,
dummy winning with the ace. A low
spade was returned from the dummy,
and East put up the ace at once
because he could tell that his part
ner was void of diamonds. He then
returned the seven of diamonds,
choosing his highest card in the
suit to indicate that his entry was
in the higher of the two other suits
Chearts and clubs.
Such subtleties, however, were
wasted on West. He ruffed the
diamond and didn't even consider
leading away from his heart suit.
Instead he continued with the ten
of clubs. whereupon South managed
to fulfill a hopeless contract. De-
clarer ruffed the club, drew both
outstanding trumpS with one lead,
and ran the diamonds, discarding
dummy's hearts. Dummy then had
two trumos and two clubs. and when
the cross-ruff dropped East's club
king, South made an overtrick.
West should have seen that South
could discard dummy's hearts unless
hearts were begun at once. Correct
play was to lay down the heart ace
and lead another to East'S king.
Then a second diamond lead would
allow West to ruff, setting the con-
tract two tricks.

SmaII-Game Hunting
Outlook Rosy in
Pennsylvania
Birds, Rabbits Plentiful
With Season Scheduled
To Open November
Nv the Associated Press.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Oct. 21.-
Pennsylvania abounds with small
game which may be shot after No
vember /. the Game Commission
said today, and prospects for the
hunting seson are good in spite Of
the recent drought.
Seth Gordon, director of the COM
mission. said there has been a better
food supply for small game this
year than in 1940-all Of which
bodies well for the hunter.
The prospects are better right
now than year ago." Gordon said,
except for squirrels. which are not
aboundant as usual"
The small-game season opens at
9 am. November / on squirrel,
rabbit. ringneck pheasant, grouse
and quail
The State registered 678, 900 hunt
ers for the 1910 season. but Gordon
said it was possible the number
would be reduced this year.
The ranks may be enhanced this
year by high school students given
an opportunity to learn how to
hunt small game through the COM
missions fieldmen.

Women S Basket Ball
Is Made Faster by
NewA. A. u. Rules

In addition Of an extra time-out
during the regular game and an
extra time-out during overtime ses-
sions are the principal rules changes
for womens basket ball for the
1912 season. These rules are con-
tanned in the new A. A. U. basket
ball guide.
The game for women under A. A.
U. rules is not as strenuous as under
the boys rules, which still are pre-
ferred by some girls teams.
About the only difference between
the mems rules and the present type
of game played by the women under
A. A. U. rules is the three-second
and one bounce rule, which encour-
ages a fast-passing, fast-moving
style of play.
The use of the rowing guard as
scoring forward has ADDED the
needed incentive for all-around play
on the part of each girl. BY lifting
the restrictions on guarding Of the
player in the act of shooting for a
basket and by eliminating some
other minor infractions, the disliked
technical foul has almost been
removed

Grid Spirit Again High,

Enthusiasm Is Renewed
By Keen Fight Given
Irish Lost Week
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 21.-Today
was tag day at Carnegie Tech with
the Tartan football team as bene-
ficiary.
The gallant stand of the weary
Tartans last Saturday apparently
was the spark which stung under
graduates into sudden action, caus-
ing them to call out the famed
student Kiltie Band with glamor-
Gus cheer leaders and go to work
for dear old Tech.
The immediate goal is $1,000 cash
to be taken from the campus start
ing with mass meeting today and
four, or five times that much to
be raised later from alumni and
friends.
The students want the money to
assure tuition for grid prospects, so,
as one said, We can have four or
five good men who can just take
away time from work to play foot
ball"
Near Peak Three Years Ago.
Only three years ago Tech was
acclaimed champion of the East and
but for the referee misinforming
the captain about what down it was
against Notre Dame, might have
been national champion. In the
first game this year the team bowed
to little Westminster and then to
Muhlenberg.
Next on schedule were the mighty
Irish, who rolled over the Tartans
last year, 81 to 0, and gloom was so
thick there were rumors of a STU
dent strike against such an even
match.
But after the visitors were held to
a 1910 count the picture changed
in a jiffy.
Explained Charles Richardson,
president of the Student Council:
The rally is intended not only
to raise cash as an immediate in
dication that students are deeply
interested in the success Of their
team, but also to prod the alumni.
Outside Aid Shrinks.
I'VE want to prove to the ad-
ministration that the strike rumor
did not represent a true student
opinion. AS concrete evidence we
want to sell tags at minimum of
so cents each to each of the 2,100
undergrads.
Tech s President Robert E. Doherty
banned all school aid to athletes
several years ago, instituting the
Doherty plan under which alumni
and friends may contribute money,
to be distributed through scholar
ships. The plan worked for couple
of years. but then donations fell to
dribletS and so did the football team.

Fall surf fishing on the Maryland

This year the fishing has been ex-

surfmen gave up hope of a channel

pearance Reports indicate the
sloughs off Cobb, Cedar and ASA
league literally are alive with big
channel bass. The best fishing is
on low and high waters, and is ex-

providing there is no heavy storm.

that rough weather is long overdue,
we believe anglers will be lucky If
this fishing continues for week.

which this season have been so

II you look today at Tony Syl-
vester, the little round man of the
Bannockburn Golf and Country
Club. you may discern a trace of a
grin at the corners of Tonys mouth.
1t won't be solely because Tony
again will be the Georgetown golf
coach for 1912, but it will be be-
cause Tony sees, six months in ad-
vance of the 1912 season, the making
of a Hoya outfit that again may win
the Eastern college golf title.
Today at Bannockburn. and again
tomorrow, every golf-minded Hoya
who thinks he has chance to make
the varsity squad and get in on the
cushy trips they will take in the
spring of 1912 is attempting to make
the team. The boys have three
days in which to qualify eight of
their number for next years outfit.
They'll qualify now and that will be
all. There won't be any supple
mental qualifying round next spring
Eight men will make the team and
that will be that.
Eastern Trip Planned.
But the main reason for the Mona
Lisa smirk Tony wears on his rotund
pan is the golf class of the lads who
are out there trying to make the
- b a
fact that the powers-that-b at the
Hilltop have let word filter down
through the golf gang that in ad-
dition to several attractive trips to
meet Eastern league opposition,
they'll also take trip through the
near South during the Easter holi-
days. meeting such teams as Duke,
North Carolina and Wake Forest.
II the trip happens to come at the
time of the North and South anna
teur championship so much the
better, for Georgetown will foot the
bill. They go In strong for varsity
golf at the Hilltop, and the result
is natural. For years they've had
the outstanding college links team
in this territory.
When you take quick gander at
the eligibles for the 1912 outfit you
can see the reason for Sylvester
happiness. For unlike Jack Hagerty,
the Hoya football coach, Tony won't t
be pestered by loss of a flock of his
best boys. Next year, if they make
the team, he'll have back such stars
as Capt. Buddy Sharkey and Dick
Meyer, both local boys; Jack Dono-
hue, the steady lad from Sioux City;
Bill Rohry, son Of pro and a tough
hombre in any golf match; Bob
Higgins, Frank Cleary. Tom Halli-
gan, Jim Phelan and Flash" Cor
don.
If you happen to see Tony doing
some fancy rug cutting in the best
hep cat manner don't be surprised
1t will mean simply that he has sold
himself bill of goods to the gen.
eral effect that Georgetown won't
be lost ball in the best college golf
company next year.
