The California AL Western
tournament at Coronado was a
success in many ways. 1t was
one of the largest tournaments
ever held on the Pacific coast.
The Western Division of the
American Contract Bridge League
enthusiastically adopted our can
Ger program, and plans were
made for further competition be-
tween the east and west.
One of the Pacific coasts keen
est workers in behalf of the
League is Mrs. John Rosekrans
of San Francisco. A little imagi-
nation on her part defeated the
contract on today's hand.
The first play or two went al
most the same at every table. De-
clarer. won the opening lead with
the jack of hearts and led the
three of diamonds. West played
the deuce, dummy the nine and
East won.
Now declarer had nine colo
tricks.
However, when the hand was
played against Mrs. Rosekrans
and South led the three of dia.
monds, she reasoned that dummy
nlne-spot would be finssed, anc
her queen and ten would be
trapped. Therefore she made {
smart defensive play, putting the
queen on the three. Declare~ wor
In dummy with the ace, came bach
to his hand with a club and lee
another diamond.
Now Mrs. Rosenkrans played the
deuce. Declarer quite naturally
figured that she held the king ane
queen of diamonds originally =
otherwise why should she play the
queen. on the first diamond trick?
He decided to go up with dunn.
my's jack and try to drop the ten
from the East hand. OF course
East captured the trick with the
king, returned a heart, and de-
%clarer> still had to lose the ten OF
diamonds.
Deceptive plays of this kind
should be studied by all players
who want to improve their
game. Ordinarily we play sec.

such as this one, it pays to violate

Develop The Beaches

Most newspapers with widely dis
tributed circulation are displaying pic
lures and articles concerning resorts at
home and abroad, illustrating or extol-
ling the advantages and conveniences
for vacationists at this or that beach,
spa and mountain retreat. We note that
Holland has it's arms open for the re-
ception of tourists. Not so long ago
Holland was PROSTATE. It is counting
on American dollars spent by travellers
to help pay for healing or Disgusting
some of the wars scars.
It is worth noting that all Amerl-
can dollars spent in foreign travel mean
just so many fewer American dollars
that could be invested. in vacationing at
home. More specifically, American dol
lars so spent or spent at other Ameri-
can resorts means so many deducted
from the possible vacation revenues of
our own beach resorts.
One means of diverting some of these
dollars from other destinations is the
scheduled 1947 fishing rodeo, which will
be On a much greater scale than the
first rodeo, and which will be more
widely publicized. Entrants from far
regions of the country are known to
be making plans already to participate
in the fun and strive for the prizes.
But the rodeo is only one program
contemplated for increasing the popu-
larity of New Hanover county resorts.
Other progressive programs are need
ed. Among them is a hotel building
program, the need for which the Star
has made frequent mention in recent
months, but which cannot have too much
emphasis.
Up to now, with the exception of last
falls fishing rodeo, New Hanover
county has offered vacationists extra
ordinarily fine beaches, unrivaled sum-
mer weather and occasional name band
dances. No beach tennis courts, no golf
course, nc bride paths, and no hotels
with any of these sources Of amuse-
ment and exercise in or near their 10
cation.
To get more of the good American
dollars going elsewhere it is essential
that some of the many American dol
lars at home be invested in the improve
ments so inseparable from resort pros
perity. With federal controls fading
out of the picture, the handicap of
priorities for materials cannot long be
given as an excuse for not building up
the beaches with the type of hotel and
other accommodations needed.

INTO THE CLOUDS


Occasionally our plane dipped in
to the clouds, and all was fog about
us. Gone were the silvered clouds
seen from above; gone were the
glimpses of landscape and towns
and cities. All was grey.
But, nevertheless, we we're
speeding home. We we're as surely
On our way as when we scared
above the cloud-banks, or roared
over the near earth. Conditions
swiftly changed but the journey
steadily continued.
That is life: an alienation OF
clouds and sunlight, exaltation and
depression, but progress neverthe-
less. A good traveller is more con-
cerned to make sure that he is 60
ing forward than to regard the vi
cissitudes en- route. Come trouble OF
come JOY, we still press on.
We do not ask that our days be
bright, dead Lord; we only pray
that we may go steadfastl,
! forward, sur of our Pilot. Amen

U. Of Washington Surprises Fans

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. lP) - An underdog University of Wash ington eleven, heralded only for its passing game, displayed a pow erful running attack here Satur- day in a second half comeback that fell only point short of stag ing one of the Week-end'S upsets
 The HuskieS, begged down in the air by a heavy driving rain, dropped a close 7-6 decision to ihe University of Minnesota GopnerS as an attempted field goal from the eight yard line went wide by inches with only seconds .'emain- ing in the game.
 The lone Minnesota tally came in the first period when Bul Grant, Gopher end, took a Wash ingtOn tumble out of the aic and rambled 20 yards to a touchdoWn. Don Bailey's try-for-point was the margin of difference.
 Washington was begged down throughout the first half and nei- ther team made a serious threat.
 The HuSkieS got the touchdown back after six minutes of he thlrd period when Herb Harlow, the Spokane speedster, twisted and turned with nice blocking and went II yards to paydirt. Bob Mi, kalson, who clicked on Is of 3l conversion attempts last season missed the extra point by a foot
