Goren on Bridqe

Half a truth carries as much
destructive power as half brick.
For some years there has been afoot
highly sponsored movement to
promote the belief that 1t Is the part
of wisdom to lead through strength.
This is only half the truth and as
such Is able to cause considerable
damage. The other and more i'm
portant half contains the proviso
that where strength is to be at
tackled by the defense, 1t ought to
be in a short suit rather than In a
long one. In other words, while 1t
may be inviting to lead through
the A-Q-2 it. Is, as a rule. unprof-
table to lead through A-Q-9-6-2.
Another bromide warns of the
danger Of leads from tenace posi-
ton up to a strong hand. West, in
today's hand, was aware OF the
other half of the truth. That is,
REGARDLESS of tenaces or anything
else, If there is only one suit that
can defeat the declarer, that's the
suit to concentrate upon.
South's bid of two no-trump will
not pass muster. His hand con-
tanned a point count of only 20,
which is two points short of the
standard requirements for such
bid. On the other hand, it was too
strong for an opening one-no-trump
bid. for which the maximum count
is 10, and in such cases the practice
is to open with one of suit and
Jump in no-trump on the next
round.
West elected to open the five Of
clubs, knowing that by so doing ne
would give declarer an uncontested
trick. The one hope for his side
was that partner could subsequently
obtain the lead and that the rest
of the suit could be cleared. II
partner could never get the lead 1t
was evident that there was no hope
for the defense.
Declarer won the first club trick
with the jack and Immediately at
tackled dummy's diamond suit. His
plan was to concede one trick to
the enemy in the hope that West
4. would be the one that would have to
win it. He accordingly played the
King, but West was not to be caught
mapping. He unloaded the queen
1t was very evident that if he kept
that card declarer would force him
to win the next lead of that suit
and he would be unable to continue
clubs. The one hope was that East
held the jack of diamonds. This
unlocking play could hardly cost q
trick in any event.
On this line of play declarer was
rendered helpless to build up his
ninth trick without letting East in
The club return then cooked his
goose.
It should be noted that while ar

headed by the ace and queen should
be Stunned if possible, the lead from
q f1ve-card suit Of the same texture
Is one of the best, for If partner ha!

Rice Defeats Baylor,

By n. A.,oe;o,ed Pres,

HOUSTON, Tex, Nov. 26.-
Rice's Owls used a powerful ground
attack and break today to defeat
Baylor, 81 to Z, and take the
Conference championship and be-
come, host to North Carolina in
the Cotton Bowl.
A standing room crowd of 81 900
saw the Owls stop the effectiveness
of the strong Baylor passing at
tack. overcome a touchdown deficit
and move to their first ul1disputed
title since 1897,
Immediately after the game,
Dan Rogers, head of the Cotton
Bowl, announced in Fort Worth
that North Carolina had accepted
an invitation to meet the South
west Champions January 2 ip
Dallas.
Baylor had entered today's tilt
q game behind the Owls and need
ed a victory to clinch a tie in final
standings and the automatic bid
as the Cotton Bowl classic host.
The victory gave Rice its first
undefeated conference campaign
in history. An early season 14-7
loss to Louisiana State is the only
blemish on the Owls regular sea-
son record. North Carolina has
lost to Louisiana State, Tennessee
and Notre Dame.

and Irv Holdash after 20-yard
dash.
Thousands of fans jammed the
sidelines and the rest were stand
ing by their seats as Virginia took
over, first down on the Carolina 8.
IS seconds to play and bowl bid
in the balance.
Here Osisek, who didn't COM
plete a pass all day, was called on
three straight times, but Caro-
lima was too smart on pass de-
tense.
Virginia moved the ball nicely
in the first half-but not inside
the Tar Heels 20. Twice the
Cavaliers plugged down field on
steady first-down marches but
both ended in futility. And Shoaf
recovered a Bill Hayes tumble on
the Carolina 20 for a third scor-
ing opportunity that was lost
when a line buck was smothered
and three straight passes were
incomplete.
Time to Warm Up.
It took Carolina quite while to
get its offense in motion. The
first time the Tar Heels gained
the ball-when Papit fumbled on
the Carolina 24-they wound up
with fourth down and 10 to go.
The second time Justice quick
kicked AZ yards. The third time
they scored.
Bud Carson intercepted Mich
els pass on the Virginia As to set
the touchdown in motion. Bud
Bunting carried to the 80 and JUS
tice hit Weiner on the 19 for a
first down. Justice and Bob CAN'T
carried to the IA and there Justice
took the pass from center and per-
formed according to his all-Amer-
lea buildup with touchdown
sprint that looked easy. Able Will
liams converted, as he did fol-
lowing the second touchdown, and
late in the game those conversions
appeared mighty important.
A Michels punt that went out OF
bounds on the Carolina nine put
the Tar Heels in hole-but only
for minute. Dick Weiss made a
first down on the 20 and Justice
passed to Weiner for a first down
on the Carolina 81. Still So yards
to go, but the Tar Heels ate that
up in one play.
Justice danced back on third
down, spotted Weiner on the Vir-
ginia 81 and big Art took the ball
without a defender near and raced
untouched for the score. In the
dressing room after the game
Guepe was sick over that touch
down. "They never should have
had it. We had the wrong de-
fense," he said.

it was a fair sort of an up-and-
