There is the way the bidding
went at the first three tables
where this deal landed. The Ia
bic declarer made his doubled

after a spade LEAD, principally due
to his working on diamonds early.
The Table boy was set two be-
cause Of a heart lead. Mr.. Table 3
declarer in the East was set three
tricks, seeking 4-Hearts.
At the remaining three tables
the results were: diamonds bid
by North after a takeout double
by South, down one; 3-Clubs by
West, down one. and-believe it or
not-3-No Trumps by West, dou-
bled and set three tricks.
Too bad there weren't some
more tables, to see what they
would produce. But the play
couldn't be much funnier than at
Table 1. The spade went to the
Q. the diamond X to the A, the
cluo 10 the 10, the spade 4 to
the A, the heart 3 to the A, the

 Four Northwest college quintets lid farewell to preseason practice contests today and began leveling toward the opening of Northern Divisicn Coast Conference, play this Friday
 Initial contests being the defend ing circuit titlists, Idaho, in the University of Washington pavilion, and sent Washington States Coug- ars against the strong Oregon Ducks.
 Both meetings are two-game, Friday Saturday series, and in each the preseason records stamp the hometown five as decided favorites. Oregon State opens Monday and Tuesday as host to the Cougars.
 Washington set itself up as a definite title contender with it's undefeated record in seven warm up contests, including sweeps of two-game meetings with Minnesota and Ohio State of the Western Conference. Oregon's successful read trip, with it's eastern eye opener win over New York Univer- sity, left no doubt as to the Duck strength.
 Idaho's defending tilists, al though retaining four of the start ing five players that pushed through to last years successes, did not show too brilliantly in losing eight out of nine contests on it's Eastern invasion.
 Washington State, although meet .ng with fair success on it's Rocky Mountain tour, dropped 40-38 de- cision to Gonzaga University in Spokane.
 Both Washington and Oregon carded wins Saturday night - the Huskies coming from a l0point deficit to score a 72-68 win over Minnesota. and oregon holding Portland's Brunos to four field goals for a 91-17 triumph
