Sitatungas.

Visit q ZOO If you wish to become
better acquainted with the friendly
little marsh buck from Africa. At
the San Diego Zoo the one residing
there is great favorite with young
visitors, where he is affectionately
called Bucky.
While he is terribly shy, he can
not resist responding when he hears
some one call his name. He peeps
around obstacles or corners before
stepping out. Then he moves with
hesitating steps toward the caller.
When he reaches his visitor he
nuzzles his hand with his moist,
shiny nose, and when assured OF
good intentions, gently mobiles his
ear. For him, this is most asSur-
ing greeting of confidence.
Bucky is a handsome little ante
|lope wearing a rusty-red glossy hair
coat decorated with white spots and
indistinct lines on the sides. Do not
confuse him with his cousin, the
harnessed antelope. Look at his
feet. Sitatungas wear mud-shoes,
These shoes are deeply divided
lhooves, capable of wide spreading,
which permit its owner to skip over
| the soft mud without sinking in.
They serve as do snow shoes worn
by human beings to distribute body
weight. Grouse wear snow shoes for
the same purpose. This advantage is
not enjoyed by harnessed antelopes
| OF course they do not reside in a
muddy marsh all their lives, and
nature only provides what is abso-
lutely essential for her children.
Bucky's face is framed with very
large, fringy ears. He moves them
quickly about to catch every sound.
His hearing, you soon discover, is
excellent, his sight superior. His
srnall black horns are tipped with
Ivory. They grow backwards for
most Of their length, then slope for
ward. His sisters and mother are
hogplSas.

Natures Children
By Lillian Cox Athey

At home the Sitatungas spend
their days In the mosquito-infested
marshes and most of the time en-
tirely submerged under water with
only their nostrils exposed. The
mosquitoes exist In swarms, descend
ing in mass formation Of thousands.
but they cannot navigate in mud.
BY dusk the antelopes are hungry.
without q note sounded, they rise
and wander to the low meadows for
food. Their most relentless enemies
are aware of the methodical habits
of the marsh-dwellers and follow
them. The lions and leopards creep
silently toward their victims, who
are usually unaware of them. Once
alerted they spring lightly into the
air, headed toward their marsh. No
lion or leopard can follow them
safely into such dangerous grounds.

Opening lead, two of diamonds.
In the defense of hand it Is not
always easy to obtain a perfect
count of declarer's distribution. In
today's offering, however, East, en-
ploying as clues only the bidding
and the opening lead, might have
been able to do so, had he given it
sufficient thought.
West led the deuce of diamonds,
dummy played low, and East quite
properly stuck in the 10, which held
the trick. :
This play is called by some peo-
pie finessing against partner. But
1t is a misnomer. East Is not finess-
ing against partner at all. He is
finessing against dummy's queen,
which is highly proper. It is nor
mally the duty of third hand to try
to capture any high card dummy
may have in the suit ledsby partner.
East returned the ace of diamonds,
which declarer ruffed. Extracting
trumps, he took the spade f1nesse,
which lost, and now West shifted
to hearts, but it was too late. De-
clarer went up with the ace and
discarded dummy's hearts on his
own good spades.
East mournfully advised partner
that a heart opening would have
defeated the hand. This is true, but
Vests lead was in the dark and
was a mere guess. East had an
open book before him. Since South
had rebid clubs he was marked with
five. Since spades were bid first,
declarer should also have five
spades.
Vests opening lead Of the deuce,
an obvious fourth best, shows ex-
actly four, leaving declarer with
only one diamond. That gives him
q maximum of two hearts. II one
of them is the king, there is no hope
to defeat the hand. If partner has
the king it is important to build up
q trick In that suit before the spades
become established. East's proper
return at trick two, therefore, is the
deuce of hearts, and now declarer
cannot win the hand.
The instinct of most players is
against making such leads. For
they have been brought up under
4 doctrine that calls for leading
through strength and up to weak
ness. A doctrine which, as likely
Is not, is more honored in the
breach than in the observance.

third football season with a 400
drubbing of fighting but thorough
ly outclassed team from Stuart
High. This victory was the fifth of
seven games, incluping two ties,
and left intact record of not hav-
ing lost a home game in the two
years they have been playing.
Led by the running of Nat
Crazy Legs Pratt, who scored
three touchdOwns on the three times
he carried the ball, and Slick Baine's
passing, the Eagles literally passed
md ran the Tigers dizzy. The game
was hardly two minutes old when
Rudy Wilson, who handles the
Eagles running game, sent Pratt
on 81 yard dash for his first of
three tbs. The Tigers bucked up
and halted the Eagles ground game
as the quarter ended TO.
After Pratt Wright, a tartar on
defense, tackled Albritten for
safety, Slick Baine opened up the
air armada, and completed of II
heaves, two for tOuchdoWns and a
third to set up score. Chuck Trip
was on the receiving end of both
touchdown heaves, as the half end

ground in the third period and
scored twice, as Pratt twisted IS

drive. A recovery of a tumble on
the 3S by Red Knowles set up the
last score, with Red Taylor going
over from the five, three minutes
before the period ended. The line
play of Wright, Baker, Jackson,
Johnson, Adderley, Haywood and
Knowles completely stopped what
ever attack the visitors had, per-
hitting them to make but one first
down and limited them to a net
gain of yards in the three periods
they played as a unit. The last
period was nearly even, as Coach
Pompey cleared the bench and used
every member of his squad.
The Eagles look sharp both on of
Tense and defense, but will have to
improve if they hope to keep pace
with such teams as Carver of Mi
