Opening lead, king of spades.
I am a little reticent about relat-
ing today's tale. 1t Is in a certain
sense a sad story, because it shows
what miscarriage of Justice Lady
Luck will sometimes tolerate. Per-
haps the conquest of crime over
righteous living should not be glori-
Ned in this column, but this happens
to be very true story of a match
quite some time ago between teams
of four representing New York and
Boston, respectively, and while it
may not be fair, 1t Is at least fit
to print.
The bidding shown in the diagram
was that put up by the Boston team
and you may take it or leave it.
The opening two-club bid is not
quite up to our standards, but 1t Is
not our purpose to make an issue
of it.
When South responded two no.
trump, North raised to three. Per-
haps better tactics would have been
to rebid the clubs. affording partner
the opportunity to show a possible
heart suit which he may have been
unwilling to speak about on the
first round.
The king Of spades was opened
and there was no point in Souths
holding up. Everything appeared to
depend on the club suit. Since this
was the last time declarer was going
to be in his own hand. he had to
decide upon the finesse then and
there. There could be no laying
down one high honor first and then
finessing on the second round. We
know now what the winning play
would have been, but East was not
inclined to display any of his pos
sessions and declarer had nothing
to rely on but probabilities. He
chose the correct percentage play OF
finessing, and when the trick was
taken by the queen, the spade suit
was run against him for Q one
trick set.
When the New York team held
this hand, North blew hot and cold.
First, he opened with one club and
when South showed him the courtesy
OF keeping the bidding open with
one no-trump, he committed an
atrocity in the way of a leap to six
no-trump. The opening lead, as
before, was the king of spades.
With II tricks as the objective,
the club suit alone would not suffice.
The heart finesse would have to
work and it would have to be re-
peated. In order to permit such
play, South would require another
entry and the only hope was ths
10 Of clubs. Well, since the only
way must be the right one, South
went to it. The heart finesse was
taken and held. The ace and king
OF clubs dropped the queen. The
three high diamonds were cashed
and the suit broke. South entered
his hand with the 10 of clubs,
cashed the long diamond, discard
ing a spade from dummy, repeated
the heart flnesse and took all Is
tricks. 1t doesn't seem fair!

How To Become A Writer

Be writer! Astonish your
friends! Earn big money! Work
only few hours week!
After analyzing hundreds of best
sellers, magazine stories, motion
pictures and radio plays, 1 have
discovered simple formula where
by any one who can poke type
writer key may become successful
author overnight. Follow the easy
rules in this article, and publishers,
Hollywood producers, and radio big
wigs will jump at the chance OF
paying fabulous prices for anything
you put down on paper.
l. Use cliches. Always speak of
your heroine as having a slim
young body" Describe her as be-
ing "starry-eyed." Crowd your
pages with such expressions as,
"at long last; she took 1t In stride;
kiddies; she made pretty picture
burning kiss; yielding embrace"
2. Use bad grammar. You'll
never get anywhere as a writer
if you fail to make these three
errors: (a) I'm a bad girl, aren't
II; (b) don't feel badly about 1t;
Co please, darling, let's us don't
quarrel"
3. Use "fulsome" as often as
possible. (Fulsome means "offen-
sive; repulsive; disgusting" But
people who buy fiction do not
know this. They love that wordJ
Examples: Her figure was ma
turely fulsome; the critics heaped
fulsome praise upon him; her full
some skirt failed to hide the lines
of her slim young body"
4. Use "Oh?" on every other page.
Examples:
Dorothy, 7 have something seri-
Gus to say to you"
"Oh?"
Right. Dorothy, I want a d.
vorce"
"Oh?"
"I feel that all Is over between
U.S."
"oh?"
Gn real life, Of course, you'd
turn Dorothy's slim young body
across your lap If she kept Oh?-
ing at you like that. But in fiction,
especially for radio theaters, soap
operas, and pictures, "Oh?" is held
to be the acme of sophisticated
writing)
5. Use dialect literally. To in
dicate that your characters are
illiterate, have them say, "sez" for
says, "wimmen" for women. "duz'
for does, dun" for done, bin" for
been, emmy for any. etc. OF course,
these are the correct pronounce
ations: but they look like dialect;
and that's all that really matters.
The one OF complex" is confusing to
many people. Mr.. Colbys leafiet, Cl3
gives and explanation and examples in
clear, simple way.

fAHREAN<S BASKET SAIL HAM HERE

! fAaRlSANt<S BASKET SAIL HAM HERE londay nights game potuoon the Palmer Moose and the Fairbanks Nal erutes started off slowly, ri tn the teams both feel ing out the other. Both were playing defensive games. The first half ended with a score of Palmer to Fairbanks 2l.
 Just before the end of tho first half the Palmer second string vas subst ituted, and from then tho game speeded up. Tn is string made the ir oponents fight for every basket and they themselves fought hard to bring their score un to l6 to Faribanks' 35. At the second game played on Tuesday night George Pederson on the Palmer team gave Palmer the opening score of tho Ganc. Fair banks folloued with field goal and a free shot but 7alnor tied the score with free shot only to be broken few minutes later by the Fairbanks team. By the end of the first quarter the score stood 10 to in favor of Fairbanks.
 Dur ing the SC econd quartor the Palmer team didn't got going we'll until uoll to!7ard the end of the quarter vhon they climbed to 10 DO ints. During that ti1no the Fairbanks
 team nettcd themselves 20 points, just
 double tho pahor score.
 At the beginning of the second half a free
 shot mado by ralt Stevens raised Palmer
 to II y-hero it remained unti il well into the
 last quarter of tho gano. During that inc | Fairbanks had climbed to 28 DO ints. F1nal1. Tiles Fyland made tuo field goals and Pal-
 nor began scoring, but all too late. The l game ended uith the score at 32-17 in fav-
 or of Fairbanks.
 Almost all of tho players on the Palmer | string arc nov players this year. Some of
 the players from previous seasons havo been
 benchod because of illness and one left l school to be married. However, the story | is not quito so sad it might be, for | thoro arc number of good players coming l up. Tie team noo eds moro practice and moro l backing by their community to give them l conf idonco. For they do have what it takes
 to mako a good team--and better yet, there
 arc a larger number Of boys available so
 that a stronger second string can bo built 1 up.

Jimmy Cooper Battles
Knockout Specialist

Indications are that Jimmy
Cooper, 1s-year -old undefeated local
featherweight fighter. may have
been handed tough one for his
Monday nights fight at Turner S
Arena. He goes against Billy Lima
of Miami, and Lima's record shows
he's won half his fights by knock
outs.
A stiff puncher is the kind OF
fighter who may give Cooper trouble.
Being young and ambitious, Cooper
isn't too cautious and when the
slugging starts he's right IN there
scrapping with the best of them. 1t
makes for action, but also makes Tor
trouble for somebody.
Cooper's fight against Lima is one
of four eight-round main events
sharing the billing on Matchmaker
Gabe Menendez's Carnival OF
Headliners" show which Gabe has
arranged as competition for the9Lib-
erty A. c. show running the same
night at Uline Arena.
Another Of Mondays bouts at
Turner'S Is between Red Gaddis and
Orlando Fernandez. Cooper squeezed
past Fernandez and If Gaddis wins
he's demanding a Tight against
Cooper. Cooper beat Gaddis earlier
In his career and since then the
older Gaddis has wanted another
crack at the youngster.

The long-awaited meeting between
Central and Roosevelt features TO-
nights windup at the Armory OF
the District public high basket ball
round robin series. The winner gets
first place in that series and the
choice No. seeded position in the
short title tournament next week.
Important as is this game, sched-
uled for 8 o'clock at the Armory, 1t
is overshadowed by the possibilities
of some ties that will complicate the
standings. There's an excellent
chance for q three-way tie for thru
place, or even a four-way tie for
fourth, either of which will mean
some playof games before the boys
can settle down to the championship
tourney.
Results of this afternoons games,
Tech against Coolidge and Western
against Eastern, will determine
whether there are any ties. If Tech
and Eastern, the favorites, win,
they'll be tied for third place along
with winner of tonight's windup be-
tween Wilson and Anacostia. If both
lose, they'll be tied for fourth with
Western and tonight's Wilson,
Anacostia loser. If only one of the
two loses, everything comes out even
and there1l be no ties to complicate
matters.
Central Held Favorite.
II favorite is necessary for to-
nights big game, it probably will
be Central. The Vikings, paced by

tackle will In all probability produce
the desired result, particularly If
south winds are prevalent and tides
reasonably high.
Although we have not as yet any
reports, the spring run of suckers
should be on in the creeks running
into the Potomac. Here, small
worms fished right on the bottom
with light tackle, may reasonably
tie one into a sizable member Of
this species. And q sucker OF sew
eral pounds weight at the end of
o fly rod and line will put up a
battle that will warm the heart of
any angler. BY all means take
along a landing net. You'll need 1t
If the fish run UP to a pound or
more.
To our way OF thinking. there is
no more succulent morsel than a

off the heads and tails, and strip
down the back which takes of the

that is needed to peel of the skin.

V.P.|. Signs McNeish
As Grid Coach; Was
Star With Trojans
BY the Associeied Press

BLACKSBURG, Va, Feb. 90
Robert C. (Bob) McNeish, Southern
California grid star IN the early
193os and backfield coach at Navy
last year. today was named head
football coach at Virginia Tech.
Athletic Director w. L. Monk
Younger, in making the announce
ment, said McNeish will receive a
three-year contract. The salary
was not disclosed.
McNeish succeeds J. r. (Jimmy)
Kits, head coach since 1899, who
resigned In January with a year
remaining on his contract.
HE will have full authority In
every way to recommend assistants, -
Younger said. He will likely have
three varsity aides and freshman
assistant.
McNeish served as backfield coach
at Southern California for four
years and with st. Mary's Prefight
one year. He was star in the 1881
and 1882 Rose Bowl games as a
Trojan halfback and played for the
West in the 1888 East West game.

the highest scoring outfit in the
series. Roosevelt has been doing only
about average in the scoring column,
but it's defenseS are tighter than
Central's, and it's won just as many
games. Both lost their openers and
have run upstrings of five wins since
in the series.
Central, too, has the height ad-
vantage on Roosevelt, but the lack
hasn't handicapped I, the Rough
Riders yet. Billy Hibbs is one OF the
smallest boys in the series, and
one of the best The Riders are
balanced, with everybody tax
ing part in the scoring and every
body playing tight defensively. Billy
Paugh and Warren Siegel particu-
larly are potent, along with Hibbs
of course, in the scoring column.
G. w. High at WI.
There are some top attractions
on other high school courts today
and tonight. George Washington
High of Alexandria plays at Wash
ington-Lee tonight, and Is favored
to win and lock up the Northern
Virginia Glass I title. The Generals
have improved nightly recently,
but probably not enough to take
the Presidents, even on their own
court. G.. w. already is assured Of
place in The Evening Stars Met
ropolitan tournament which opens
March 2 at University of Maryland.

teams are in action tonight or this

Bill CantwelI Is Likely
To Play Against Hoyas.
Despite Bone Chip

Bill Cantwell, George Washington
University's court captain and the
Districts leading scorer, has a def
mite bone chip In his left ankle,
x-rays revealed today, but some
heavy TAPPING probably will permit
him to play in the Georgetown game
tomorrow night at the Armory.
The 26-year-old Brooklyn court
man has been bothered with ankle
trouble for some time and has
played with his ankle heavily taped
during his collegiate court career.
1t became more painful during a
practice session last week, however,
and he missed the Colonials' two
game trip to Lexington, Va, this
week. He was held out Of all but
two minutes Of the Maryland game
last week In an experimental move
by Coach Art Zahn, who wanted
the rest of his players to think for
themselves instead Of counting on
Cantwell.
Now when Zahn really needs him
tomorrow night In an attempt to
square the city series with the
Hoyas, Cantwell is below his physi-
cal peak.
The Colonials definitely will be
without HOWE Hoffman and Dave
Shapiro against the Hoyas. Prob
able replacements are Chet Ptetras
who has been carried as reserve
all season and Gene Witkin, who
became eligible Tuesday and played
for the first time against v. M. I.
Georgetown's 51-43 triumph IN the
first game gave the Hoyas a two
game edge in the G. w. series and a
victory over G. w. tomorrow would
give Georgetown the city title fol-
the second straight year. If G. w
wins tomorrow and then beats Mary
land on March /, the Colonials Will
have q claim to the District title by
virtue of having played Maryland
twice to once for the Hoyas.
The second game Of the series Is
the home game for the G.. w. stu
dents. G. WIS only other appear
ance here will be at Maryland while
Georgetown closes its home season
next Wednesday against Viuanova.

about as fine eating as any one could
wish. AS for the suckers, we release
those we catch, getting our fun out
of the sport. They are pretty
bony, although in the spring their
flesh Is firm and highly priced by
many.
Dates set for the annual campfire
of the Brotherhood of the jungle
Cock are May Z, and 8, and, as
usual, the place will be Camp Airy,
just above Thurnont, Md. Frank
Bentz, who Is one of the main spark
plugs, has been confined to his home
by illness and Is recovering slowly.
In a talk with Ham Brown today,
we learned that they expect to get
together with Joe Brooks to iron
out the details in the near future,
and invitations will be forthcoming
shortly. Well give you the details
of this pleasurable anglers meeting
later.
Because of wintry conditions, no
stocking has been done as yet in
the trout streams Of either Mary
land or Virginia. Snow and ice still
are heavy in the mountains, presag-
ing full waters for spring sport, but
until they leave and roads and trails
become passable not much can be
done. Virginia expects the best
stocking of trout for years. The sit
uation in Maryland Is not SO favor
able from the present outlook. AS
a consequence we believe that many
local anglers will trek to Virginia S
streams this coming season rather
than battle for fewer trout on Mary
lands more crowded streams. Mary
lands opening date will be April
18th, whereas in Virginia, April 20,
and West Virginia, April "a, re-
spectively, will be the opening days.

HurseyMay Be Helped
By Heftier Poundage
In Sonny Horne Bout

One angle that has been over
looked in picking George Sonny
Horne as favorite over Smuggy Hur-
sey for Monday nights middle
weight fight at Uline Arena Is that
Smuggy in this fight won't be weak
ened by the necessity of making
weight. In all his important bouts
last year except that against Bee
Bee Washington, whom he beat
handily, Smuggy had to sweat off
poundage and dry out to get as close
as possible to welterweight figures
He did that against Aaron Perry
twice against Danny Kapilow and
again against Jimmy Bell, who beat
him last September.
Against Bell, Smuggy weighed 1853
All he has to make against Horne,
legitimate middleweight, is the mid
die figure of 100. That's a good
weight for Smuggy, who still is
growing and filling out.
After drilling at Liberty yester-
day, Horne indicated he's looking
ahead of the Hursey fight to the
possibility of fighting Rocky Grazi-
ano in nontitle go here on April
5. Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn has
Graziano booked for that date, op-
ponent as yet undecided. Winner
Of next Monday nights fight, If
sufficiently impressive, may get
GraZiano.
Horne wants 1t. "I fought 10
tough rounds against Graziano two
years ago. I lost, but he didn't
knock me out, and that was when
he had six kayoes in row until ne
met me. I'm better fighter now
than was two years ago and I
want another crack at him."

Duel for Last Ring Berth EnIivens Cards Drill
Aophere Nilsson Cunun Shot Codets

you won't be able to do it Sat-
urday-you're up against q g.
foot-1 fighter and you know
what that means. Use the hook,
get under his left and shoot for
the body"
Bingo Slant had Calnan and
was demonstrating how to avoid
Nisson's left, how to get close
enough to make his right effec-
tive and emphasizing the i'm
portance of keeping his chin
down. The timer signaled the
beginning of the round and the
rivals went back into action.
Two minutes later he called
time again but they didn't hear
him and were banging away at
one another on the ropes.
"One's a tiger" La Fond said,
with a puzzled expression. HE
won't leave you alone but he
gets hit himself and without
the headgear he'd probably have
a bloody nose and his face would
look as though it had been
through a meat chopper. The
other boys a better boxer, a
better defensive fighter and
probably piled up enough points
to win in the first two rounds"
La Fond was arguing with
himself as he climbed down from
the ring. A good, rough fighter
who would wade in and fire all
his guns might be the kind he
needed to beat a tall West
Pointer. But maybe a smart
boxer could get under him, not
get hit and win on points. It
was tough decision to make.
He didn't know the answer
when we left him.
