Take MyWord for 1t
by rrdnK SoIDy
Readers Corner.

Houston-Some time ago read In
the Readers Digest that the man
who invented the piano was en-
ployed by the P. & o. Railroad, and
that 1t was for this reason that he
called the instrument a piano (P-
an'-O). Will you please confirm
this?-K. r. A.
Answer-It's nonsense and, II 1t
appeared in the Readers Digest,
the Office boy must have edited that
particular edition. The piano evolved
from the clavichord, the harpsichord
and the dulcimer.
In the early 700s, Christofori,
Italian harpSichord maker, devised
a pedal system which, for the first
time, enabled the instrument to be
played both softly and loudly. 1t
was a revolutionary development,
and Italians said of the new instru-
ment that it could play both piano
e forte"-meaning soft and loud"
From the expression the instru-
ment became known first as the
pianoforte. Later the name was
shortened, giving us the modern
word piano, pronounced pee-AN-oh.
Hamilton-Please put in your COL
umn how many different animals
there are in the whole wide world,
and name every one of them.-Bet-
ty L.
Answer-Betty, honey, II I had
such list land I haven't, it would
fill all the pages Of many issues Of
this newspaper. The editors wouldn't
give me the space Also you wouldn't
want the funnies crowded out, would
you?
Topeka-Why Is the word "con-
troller" sometimes spelled comp
troller?"-A. S.
Answer-Some befuddled but now
unknown scholar first used the SPELL
ing "comptroller" in the mistaken
idea that it was French; but there
is no such French word. The cor
rect French word is controleur.
Comptroller" then, is actually
q nonsense SpelllnB. WAen IL Is
used, however, 1t should not be
pronounced "KOMP-tro-ler." Pro-
nounce comptroller exactly like con-
troller, thus, kun-TRO-ler.
The form comptroller" Is grad
ually disappearing in American
business usage. And it's good rid
dance. Why use the monstrous and
illegitimate Comptroller" when our
language contains the proper and
pronounceable word controller2
Do you say "Ain't," and think It 10
correct because 1t Is found In some die
tionaries2 The word Amt" and the
expression Aren't II" are discussed by

bISdI MANY players Seem 10
have q strange allergy to tenace
positions. Some persons can take
their tenaces or leave them alone,
but others, the minute they see an
A-Q or XII are seized Immediately
with an unconquerable desire to
get over there to take that finesse..
Perhaps the specific for this all
ment Is to look upon the finesse not
as q means Of capturing the ad-
verse honor, but rather as q device
for winning tricks. Many times
these tricks can be won df there Is
time) without the finesse.
The bidding conformed in all
respects with modern standards.
The opening bid of two no-trump
Is probably the best choice. South
has a balanced hand with a count
Of pa maximum two no-trump
bid, just shade under the require
ment for a three no-trump OPEN
ing. North has just enough to make
one bid, and while four hearts
would have been a much easier con-
tract to fulfill. South hardly can be
blamed for returning to no-trump.
West opened the five Of spades
and declarer won with the king. He
then played the ace Of hearts and
overlook the queen In dummy. Ths
play of the jack revealed that the
suit would not break and the dia-
mond f1nesse was then tried, the
jack losing to the queen. The spades
were then established and when
West got in with the ace Of dia-
monds he had enough tricks to
set the contract.
South's proper play at trick two
was the king OF diamonds. Two
tricks in the suit can be established
by brute force, and the best the
defense can do Is cash two spade
tricks and two diamonds. The lead
of the five with the four, three
and two showing indicates that
West has only four-card spade
suit, unless he is making a false
lead. Declarer can check on his
honesty later. When West is in
with q diamond and continues the
spade, South refuses that trick and
when East follows to the third round
1t is clear that no flve-card spade
suit Is out against the hand.
If on the third spade lead East
shows out, marking West with
fve-card spade suit, declarer may
still fall back on the hope that the
hearts will break.
Note that the sound play at trick
two is the king of diamonds and
not a lower honor Only where the
queen of diamonds Is alone can
three tricks be scored in the suit
and an effort should be made to
capitalize on that fortunate dis
tribution should it exist. Observe
that 1t avails declarer nothing II
he succeeds in driving out the ace
with the jack for the queen will
still be protected and must score.

The specialists agreed that the
biggest oppoi tunity for conserv-
ing the crop lies in the hands of
the "Lmall farmer who Usually
sells his corn in the fall and then
has to buy expensive feed during
the winter. If small PRODUCERS
can zig up some satisfactory

worry about the low price Of corn

feed next winter.

Johnny Atwoods a good story
too," continued the jolly tub
thumper. I'VE found him in the
woods. Honest, played freshman
ball at Wisconsin, went into the
service and disappeared. A friend
tipped off Red Smith that he was
working in a lumber camp and we
sent for him. He hadn't even un-
packed his bag before Steve put him
in a scrimmage and he clinched a
job before sundown. He's a real
conner, that boy
Jack also is sweet on Art Faircloth,
Washington lad who learned his
football at Anacostia High School
and went on to star at North Caro-
lima State. The stout strategist
rates him one of the teams best
defensive backs. The Giants also
have Mike Garzoni. a guard obtained
from the Redskins during the on
season, who fits into the picture
nicely.
1T was nice of Mr.. Marshall to
let us have Charley Conerly, too"
added Jack Hes not a bad passer,
and Steve thinks he'll be big help
to us. We know the Redskins didn't
need him, with Sammy Baugh and
Harry Gilmer, but it still was nice
of them to let us have him"
Warns Of Ettinger.
Lavelle ratified off a few more
names, including Ernie Williamson,
the Redskin most recently traded to
New York; Frankie Reagan, John
Cannady and Don Ettinger as rea-
sons why the team Is improved over
last year. Ettinger, he warned, Is
one of the best-looking rockies to
break in at tackle, and can play
any place in the line. He's sociable,
too, and will be around shaking
hands with all the Tribe backs
Sunday.
The season hasn't been too ex-
citing so far" said Jack, who will
continue as minister of propaganda
until next week, when he hopes to
get back to a strict pigskin diet. II
spoke at Rotary luncheon in Mil
waukee before our games with the
Packers, and brother it was hot
Sally Rand was there and made
a little speech. Well, I got on a
train for Indianapolis to scout the
Eagles and Bears, and was half way
to Champaign before discovering it
was the wrong train, That's what
you get for not keeping your mind
on where you're going"
Such a mixup will not occur to
the Giants this season, Mr.. Lavelle
assured us.

Bonk's Fine Brand Of Blocking
HELPS Terps to Reach Heights
BY the A.soeiated Pres.

A lot of Monday morning bruises
will be nursed this season by South
ern Conference football players
who've been Bonk-ed.
For the University of Maryland
has one of those rare, unsung Tro-
JAMS of the backfield, real blocking
back In Harry Bonk.
Bonk's delight In bowling over
opponents like tenpins Is one of the
main, if little noticed. reasons the
Terrapins shot up as Southern
Conference power.
Even Coach Jim Tatum takes his
workmanlike job so much for grant,
ed that he seldom thinks to mem
ton it. Other than claim "Bonk's
the best blocking back in the busi-
ness" and then forgetting about
that important chore.
Bonk is a glutton for the punish
ment a blocking back necessarily
takes. He was graduated from
Maryland last year. but still having
a year of playing eligibility he came
back for ariother-much to Tatum's
glee.
Bonk has had plenty of football
experience for his 23 years of age.
He played four years in high school
on his native Long Island and his
career as a Naval trainee found him
on teams at Dartmouth. Bucknell
and North Carolina Pref1ight. All
of this was at fullback.
Coach Paul Bear Bryant brought
Bonk to Maryland in 1945 and he
was q regular from the start. He
throws his 200 pounds on 5-foot,
10-inch frame around with such
