CHICAGO. Nov. 19.-Following
the dramatic resignation Of Vet

of the University OF Illinois, Doug

The appointment, made at a

himself regarded AS the best choice
for the future welfare of sports at
the school.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

There Is an old hickman for Rome,
which calls it "the City of Seven
Hills"
That is a good nickname, since
Rome for long time had exactly
seven hills inside its limits. Yet
the city started on a single hill,
and it kept growing until at last it
had more than seven hills.
Much study has been given to the
early history of Rome. 1t seems
that the first settlement was made
by shepherds who had been taking
care Of hocks near the Tiber River.
We are told that the settlement
was placed on single hill, and that
1t was called Roma" meaning
River City" The Palatine hill ap-
pears to have been the first center
Of Roman life.
At an early date the city, or
village, Of Rome. had an area OF
only about 40 acres. A wall was
built around the Palatine hill to in
close that space.
OF course we do not forget the
old story about Romulus and Remus.
The story tells of two babies who
were brought up by wolf" The
Romans used to say that when
these two babies grew to manhood
they started city which was named
Rome.
That, no doubt, is simply an old
legend with little, If any, truth in

Rome Started as VILLAGE on Hill

the centuries went by. Many Of
its people built their homes outside
the early walls. and some Of the
houses were placed on the slopes Of
other hills.
For hundreds Of years Rome was
republic. Then the power was
taken over by an emperor. One
emperor after another ruled until
the so-called fall Of Rome" took
place.
One Of the emperors, Aurelian,
decided to build a new and stronger
wall around the city of Rome. 1t
was made of bricks and concrete.
The Wall of Aurelian had length
of II miles. For the most part it
did not rise more than 20 or 30 feet,
but in some places it had towers
go feet high and the walls were
IL feet thick. A great deal Of the
Wall of Aurelian can be seen to
this day by visitor to Rome.

West opened the ace of hearts
and continued the suit, South ruff
ing. Declarer cashed the ace and
king Of sd Rdes, then entered dummy
with theSace of diamonds to ruff
dummy's last heart. A low club
was next led. dummy winning with
the queen. The last trump was
drawn and the club ace forced out,
after which South made the rest.
Oeclarer thus won II tricks.
When the hand was played, a
variety of explanations and excuses
came forth. Perhaps South should
have doubled one heart instead OF
bidding one spade, offered one
kibitzer. Another suggested that
North should have bid one spade
or two diamonds right over one
heart. North thought that South
should have gone on to three spades
instead of passing, then North
would have raised to four.
What dc you think? How should
the hand have been bid? Decide
for yourself before you read on.
North was at fault. 1t was all
right to pass on the first round,
but North should have jumped to-
three spades on the second round Of
bidding. South would not expect
much strength in the North hand
because he would remember that
North had failed to bid over one
heart. The Jump would merely
show that North had a maximum
for his pass on the first round.
Then, of course, South would have
gone on to game.

Romulus and Remus among the
first settlers, but we have no proof
that such was the case. ..
The fact probably is that Romans
made up story to explain the start
of their city. The names Of Romulus

by a story-teller.
In any case Rome kept growing as
