state events. Billy Martin, Dorothy
Law, Alden Sibley and Louise
Moore were the skaters to partici-
pate in this first roller tours ever
held in the country. OF course

In competition for novice pairs
Alden and Louise gathered first to
Billy and Dorothy's second. Doug
las BreniSer and Patsy Hill won
junior pairs with LaVerne Martin

Johnny Weber, the chunky little
guy in white who often referees

living on borrowed time. 1t was in
the old Moose Temple that he was
pronounced dead in the ring, but
ne survived a dose of smelling
salts, taken internally. TO become
part of Detroits boxing legend.
It's not of his exploits that this
story is concerned. but rather OF
his choice of the most sensational
bout he's ever witnessed in his
long association with the game.
"And that would be Clarence
Rosen's fight with Pancho Villa,
the fIyweight champion" says
Johnny without hesitation.
Ills fights with Pete Firpo
were great, but they couldn't
compare with this one, even
though he did take the worst
beating I've ever seen a man
take I'm the ring"
WARM UP FOR VILLA
Date of that struggle was April

. MclKENkEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
Amateur Winner Counts BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Amc-ica's Card Authority

There is one title in bridge which cannot be defended. It is the Ma tional Amateur Pair Championship; the winners immediately become national masters and, therefore, in eligible to compete in the amateur event the following year.
 I had the pleasure of playing against Raymond Farber when I was in Greensboro, N. C., and I was not bit surprised when he and his partner, Hal Oliver, were announced as the winners of the National Amateur Pair Champion ship at Richmond. Farber pays a splendid game and if given an op- portunity to compete in national tournaments, would have 8 good chance of carrying off one of the titles. Here is an example of Far ber's play.
 Farber, sitting South, responded to two spades with three no trump in order to show 11a honor tricks. North's leap to six looked natural enough, since he could count four honor tricks in the combined hands outside of the spade suit, which III itself was probably good for five tricks.
 East took the ace of clubs on the

Quota Arranges
 Birthday Party

Service for Defense Is the theme on which Quota Club International, classified service club tor profess sional and executive women, will celebrate its twenty-third anniyer- sary.
 President Fife Loudermilk of Bluefield, West Virginia, has issued proclamation for Quotas birthday, calling upon every Quotarian to cele brate February l9 by gift of serv- ice or sacrifice for defense. Accom- panying this proclamation is a list of g ways in which Quotarians can render sacrifice and service. Head ing this list is the advice to Buy a defense bond-"Buy war-savings stamps"
 On February 19 or during the an- niversary month, Quota Clubs in Australia, Canada, and the United States will broadcast to their con- munities the work that Quota Clubs throughout the organization are doing for defense, war relief, and community service in their own To- calities.
 Founded immediately following the First World War, all of the 135 clubs of Quota International are committed to an all-out program ir defense of democracy and of the ideals of friendliness and good will
 In celebration of the event the Waterbury Quota Club will pur- chase 8 $500 Defense BontL

first trick and returned the jack, which South won. Let me note in passing that this is the sort of hand on which many players will now claim twelve top tricks-five spades, five hearts, the ace of dia- monds, and the king of clubs. Then a defender has to remind the claim ant that it is possible for both hearts and spades to be adverse ly stopped, and a bitter argument ensues on the law governing deals not played out"
 Farber realized that a bad break in either major suit could beat him. He therefore first cashed the spades, where he had four tops.
 For the last six cards, South held five hearts and one diamond. East had to save four hearts and two diamonds. His discard of the three of clubs, three and ten of diamonds, made it clear to MT. Far Der that he he'd four hearts.
 The next lead was the ace of hearts, followed by the ten, which South would have finessed. East covered, and the king won. Then the ace of diamonds put dummy back in to lead the three of hearts, and East's remaining tenace was picked up.
