Iplay Q prominent role In the show.
This is true even in tournament
play, albeit In lesser degree than
in rubber bridge. But there Is no
doubt that Lady Luck is not lone
rider and she requires some assist
ance from those upon whom she
would shower her favors. It is axi-
omatic that she Is more apt to help
those who help themselves.
South's opening bid Of two hearts
/ Is model of correctness and Norths
raise meets with our approval. In
cidentally, have observed that
many players are in the habit OF
responding with two no trump on
holdings such as North'S. With nor
NAL trump support and one honor
trick, the correct procedure is o
single raise. There Is current o
superstition Of unknown origin, to
the effect that q raise of partners
two bid requires 1ka honor tricks.
South's jump to six hearts Is at
least questionable, but he was In
a mood to ride his luck. A queen
or two In the right place might
give him good play for the hand.
Note that If North's queen hap.
|pened to be with the spades instead
of the diamonds, declarer would
have had q reasonable chance. As
1t was, when the dummy was spread
it looked like the most hopeless Of
cases.
West had reasonable enough
double, particularly in view of ths
hit-or miss style Of bidding which
led to the slam contract. The king
of clubs was opened and taken by
the ace. It was going to take a
lot Of luck and good management
to bring this one in. Declarer led
to the king Of hearts and ruffed
dummys remaining club. Another
trump lead cleared that suit and
then followed the ace, king and
another spade. Two good breaks
showed up at the same time. The
spades were three three and West
had to win the trick. There was no
good lead he could make. A club
lead would permit declarer to ruff
in dummy and discard a diamond
from his own hand. So West led
the jack of diamonds. This was
taken by the queen in dummy and
the remaining diamond discarded
on dummy's thirteenth spade.
That was an outstanding bit Of
good luck, but South should get the
credit for an assist.

Catholic U. Trounces
Bridgewater, 81 TO 40
BY the Associoied Press

BRIDGEWATER, Va, Jan. IT,
Catholic University scored its sixth
Mason-Dixon Conference victory
here tonight at the expense of
Bridgewater College, 54-40.
The loss strengthened the Eagles
hold on last place in the circuit
standings, giving them record of
one win against five losses.
Scotty Cranston and Gene SZklarz
led the Cardinal five to victory in
what turned out to be a rough and
tumble ball game. Cranston's con-
tribution came in the way of II
points, scored on seven field goals
and three foul shots, which was
high for the night. Szklarz turned
in a superior floor game, nabbed
rebounds frequently and broke up
Eagle plays before they were well
started.
The Cardinals found the pace tor
rid in the opening minutes as the
Bridgewater five matched them
point for point. Cranston began
connecting with regularity, however,
and after 10 minutes of play Cath
olic University led. 14-12.
From there on the superior
Cardinal reserves provided the mar
gin for victory as the visitors
steadily pulled away, taking a 26-

team had a 1921 edge after two

margin to 1891 during the second

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May o.
Visitors to West Virginia during

facilities.
The West Virginia Industrial and
Publicity Commission plans to in
terview a cross-section of the vaca-
tioning public to develop useful sta

of uncovering any shortcomings
which may exist in the States va

w. C. Handlan, the commission S

veys are particularly valuable in
that they permit such cooperating

their services to tourists and to take
steps to eliminate deficiencies in
service where such may be reported
BY making comparisons with the
two earlier studies, Mr.. Handlan
said, it is possible also to determine
degrees of improvement in services
and to locate points on which en-
phasis is needed.

Parks Face Crowded Year

Won, Rocky Mountain, Grand Teton
Glacier, Hot Springs, Plat, Mesa
Verde, Wind Cave or Hawaii-every-

rangers will do the best they can to
see that you have pleasant stay.
Discourage Vandalism.
Staff shortages in the parks
which have made 1t impossible te
patrol them as thoroughly as they
should be, plus an apparently In
creasing disregard of public property
have resulted in greater degree
of vandalism of one kind or another
during the past two seasons than
ever before since the National Park
Service started functioning 81 years
ago. Trash in the wrong places;
the destruction of outdoor exhibits;
the cutting of trees and shrubbery
and the marring of natural features
and, at Yellowstone, the throwing OF
debris into some of the finest Of the
thermal pools-these are some OF
the many forms this vandalism has
taken.
These places belong to the people
of the United States: the National
Park Service is trying to keep pro-
tect them so that not only you, but
your great-grandchildren - and
theirs-can obtain the fullest enjoy
ment and inspiration from them
Please help, by being careful, and by
persuading others to observe the
accepted amenities of the out-ot
doors.
The wildlife of the national parks,
East and West. is one of their great
attractions. In all of the parks, all
species, predator and prey alike, are
given protection. So in Yellowstone
you are as likely to see a coyote
as you are to see a deer, and in
a number of them you are almost
certain to see. brown bears, with
just a chance in Yellowstone of a
glimpse of grizzly. =
Don't Misjudge Bears.
A lot of people appear not to be-
lieve in signs, and especially in
those signs that say Don't feed the
bears" One of the useful, but
avoidable, uses of the hospitals at
Yellowstone and Yosemite Is that
taking care of those who insist on
feeding the bears.
Don't be fooled by those photo
graphs your friends took last year
or 10 years ago that showed Mama
handing out dainty morsel to some
apparently tame bruin. They are
not tame; they are wild animals
which have just got used to seeing
people around and who aren't afraid
of them, because apparently they
realize they won't be harmed.
They have poor judgment, and
little concern. as to where food
leaves of and the human hand
begins; and they are aggressive
about getting food. Deer, even the
gentle fawns, are also best sjeft
alone. Their digestions will be bet
ter if you don't feed them-and
there is less chance of being raked
playfully by hooves that are razor
edged.
Hope you have good time!
