.oren on Bridge


In contract bridge we strive to
permit each bid to have a meaning
OF its own, but there are many
hands In which an inevitable am
biguity arises. This is apt to be the
case when, at particular time. you
may be uncertain as to your desti-
nation and you may find it expedi-
ent to bide your time until further
information is obtained. The am
biguous bid is therefore made, with
the complete assurance that partner
will speak again, and thus afford
you an opportunity to clarity your
previous call.
To illustrate, bid in the oppo-
nents' suit "a cue bid normally de-
notes that you can win the first
trick IN their suit, and wl,at Is more
important, that you are interested
in a slam. Where, therefore, by your
previous bidding you have denied
holding powerful hand, your cue
bid should be taken with grain OF
salt, and may be an effort to induce
partner to contract for no-trump.
In today's hand, South doubled
the opening bid of one spade and
North elected to respond with two
clubs. This is not technically cor
rect. A bid of three clubs would
have been proper, but North chose
not to crowd the bidding and
elected to run the risk that partner
would not bid again. South, rather
than raise the clubs, decided to
show his heart suit and Norths
hand now assumed even greater
proportions. His bid of two spades
Is very fine. If South wishes to
bid no-trump, this enables him to do
SO. II he chooses to move toward
slam, North would surely welcome
such action. Furthermore, the cue
bid at this point is not very drastic,
inasmuch as he has previously bid
only two clubs in response to the
double and has therefore limited
his hand. South's jump in clubs
requires no comment, and when
North showed the heart support 1t
was not very difficult to contract
for slam.
1t will be noted that six hearts
could have been made just as easily
but South felt that it might be some
what safer in clubs and chose to
give up the few additional points
that the major suit would yield.

~ World Records Will Go Out
If SWedes Are Declared Pros

Ekelund said the IAAU Congress
in Oslo probably would handle the
question when it convenes in Au-
gust, 1946.
A notable exception from the un-
official list of professionals" is
Haakan Lidman, swift Swedish
hurdler. who accompanied Haegg to
the United States last winter.
Also still holding amateur stand
ing was Lennart Strand, victor over
Haegg several times and Sweden's S
most promising middle distance
runner.
Many have cited the case of
Paavo Nurmi, the Finnish distance
runner, who was declared mon
amateur" at the 1882 Olympics in
Los Angeles. Nurmis world rec
ords stood.
Most opinion here holds there is
difference between the terms
'nonamateur" and professional
with respect to whether the Swed-
ish world records will stand.
If Haegg loses his world record, it
will revert to the Britisi1er,, Sidney
Wooderson, who marked up 4 min
utes and AZ seconds on Sept. 9 Of
this year at Gothenburg, although
he was defeated in that race by
Arne Anderson.

WEST POINT, N. Y, Nov. g.
Coach Earl tRed) Blaik, whose
great Army team is expected to
plow Notre Dame under again to-
morrow at New York's Yankee
Stadium, is willing to confess that
he never has seen a greater full
back than his own Felix doc"
Blanchard.
II wouldn't have said so myself"
he replied when pressed for an
estimate of the big fellows ability,
"but since you ask if I've seen a
greater fullback I'll have to admit
that I never have"
blanchard is very superior"
Blaik said. What makes him a
great fullback is the fact that he's
really a halfback-that is, he's fast
enough to play halfback. He starts
like flash and he never stops driv-
ing. He does everything as we'll as
any fullback I ever saw, and he does
some things better.
Its strange" he unused. There's
something about the terrific power
with which Blanchard runs that
makes people think he's much
bigger than he really is. A pro-
fessional coach recently offered to
bet me Felix weighed 240 pounds
Actually, he weighs 2o8. He has a
wonderful physique"

it he got old men who had to be

Make Ted Look Bad.
But Collins griped about a couple
of others, such as Scotty Gudmund-
son, whom he got from the Red
skins, Augie Lilo, the old Georgetown
and Detroit guard, and George Ca
fego, etc. Gudmundson almost beat
the Skins last year and his punting
and passing did lead to the Tribes
downfall this season in their league
debut. Lio's place-kicking won one
game from Pittsburgh and would
have beaten Detroit last Sunday If
his teammates hadn't pulled boner
and let Charley De Shane go 81
yards with punt for the winning
touchdown. Cafego's work was in
strumental in beating Pittsburgh in
their first game and the Best the
rest of those poor, broken-down old
tramps have been able to do is keep
the Yankees tied for second place. :
Collins beef sounds slightly
screwy in the face of all this evil
dence. But to his credit it must be
noted he really didn't say everything
attributed to him in the magazine
article. 1t seems that it was written
and then presented to him for his
inspection and that he. tried to
laugh it off as a joke, although in
print it was a wicked slam at the
other clubs. If Ted did have any
complaints he seems to be taking 1t
out on his rivals on the field, which
Is a better place than in magazine
articles. It's more profitable, too.

BY LEWIS r. ATCHIsoN.

It has been only few weeks
since Ted Collins, Boston Yankee
owner, put the blast on George
Marshall, Harry Trayer, Bert Bell
and sundry other pro football lead
ers for taking him to the cleaners
and he did mean rough dry.
Mr.. C's thesis was that he had
fallen among highwaymen who had
thieyed everything but Kate Smiths
theme song, which our Katie uses
every Friday night to Introduce her
radio program. Collins, as u you
didn't know, has earned few bob
as Katie's emcee and business man
ager. But he rent his garments
and snatched himself virtually bald
crying to q picture magazine public
for justice in his dealings with the
wicked professionals.
Well, the Yankees will be here
Sunday and you look 'em over and
see If you flnd anything to scream
about. Collins said it cost him
$217 ,342.65 to get started last year
not counting the $4,000 fee for the
franchise. but his net loss on the
season was only $43, 900. That wasn't
bad, considering that he entered the
league at the worst possible time
ana against the more sober advice
OF all hands. He couldn't have
thought he was getting into a penny
ante game and certainly was pre-
pared to take a loss the first couple
OF years.
Yankees Aren't Suffering.
Happily, the Yankees are doing
all right for themselves both on
the field and at the box Office this
autumn. If they should beat the
Redskins, and it's possible, we'll have
a three-cornered fight for the East
ern title. If the Redskins win they'll
have taken another long step toward
undisputed possession of the crown
but they know they're in for a
rough time. The Yankees have a
few topnotch players who can be as
annoying as bill collectors.
That raises another point. Collins

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 9.-Twenty-
two Swedish world track records, in
cluding that of Runner Gunder
Haegg, may be stricken from the
tables from the day the performers
are declared professionals by the
Swedish Athletic Association, Bo
Ekelund, secretary of the Interna-
tional Amateur Athletic Union, said
today.
Expressing his personal opinion
in an interview with the Stockholms
Tidningen, Ekelund said he referred
to records set in the past five years,
the period involved in the sweeping
investigation by the Swedish AAU
into charges that the stars accepted
fees for appearances at Swedish
athletic clubs.
He said the records would go by
the board even though they already
have been recognized by the IAAU,
adding that there was precedent for
such action.
Among the marks that would be
affected Is Haegg's English mile,
which he ran in 4:01:4.
Unoh1cially it has been reported
that the Swedish organization al
ready has declared both Haegg and
Arne Anderson, the worlds two
fastest milers, professionals. Such
a decision would cancel their trips to
the United States to participate in
the winter track season.
