Widely Opposed
On De-emphosis
By the Associoted Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. IT,
"The most ridiculous thing I ever
heard Of" was the way Yale's 1916
football captain greeted the sug-
gestion of Yale's top student
leaders that athletics be de-
emphasized in the Ivy League.
Clinton R. (Cupie) Black of New
York, who led the Blues 1916
eleven. was upset by a Torch So
ciety statement which recon-
mended that Ivy League schools
undertake to stop the tide toward
excessive time spent on athletics
by voluntarily limiting the role of
major sports"
Coach Herman Hickman left no
doubt he disagreed with members
Of the society. Il question whether
this is the majority opinion of
the football team" declared Hick-
man. Yale gridmen who signed
the statement were Vic Frank,
John Setear, Dale Liechty. Charley
Keller and Bob Raines.
Head Coach Charley Caldwell
Of Princeton, one of Yale's arch
rivals, said. Il feel that the rec
omendations by the Yale Torch
Society have little bearing on the
present situation at Princeton. We
have obtained a proper balance
between the physical and aca-
demic aspects of university life"

lers Plumbers team in the Be-
thesda Bowling Center $1,000
League is trying to repeat as
top winner in The Stars annual
bowling tournament, but is
willing to settle for just any
place in the lengthy playof.
A year ago Rosenblum fired
the biggest league set of his
career - 451 - to which he
tackled a handicap of 81 and
collected the 5000 first prize in
the mems duckpin division. His
gross score was 502.
THAT 451 from scratch be-
gins to look like a once-in-a-

today. II wouldn't like the job

Israel examined a breakdown
on the entries of last year. OF
the grand total of 23,007 there
were 1920 in the mems duck
pin division.
THAT made me a 16,920-to-1

that the full handicap system
puts all contestants on an even
footing. What, 7 ask you, are
my chances to repeat on the

AS a matter of fact, there is no
particular reason why day must
be pronounced "di' or "dee." 1t is

The pronunciation of day as
"day" has unquestionably reached
the status of good usage in the
United States, just as many other
good and proper American pronun-
Citations exist which the dictionaries
thus far have ignored.
Moreover, logic is on the side Of
the "day" pronunciation, for -day
is the word day in spelling and in
meaning. How, then, can anyone say
that it is in any way improper to
also call it "day"? If one may cor
rectly say "day" in birthday, why
not in Thursday? If "day" is proper
in holiday, why not also in Satur-

The bidding:
South West North East
/ diamond Pass / spade Pass
2 diamonds Pass 3 diamonds Pass
8 hearts Pass 5 diamonds Pass

Opening lead, king of clubs.
There is no objection to an oc-
casional bit of gambling for three
no-trump with an unstopped suit
where no-trump appears to be the
only real hope for game. After all
there are so many good hands that
Just won't reach for II tricks and
could easily produce nine even with
one suit completely unprotected.
There is always the chance that
neither of the opponents has five
card suit to run against you. How
ever, this is a little on the hazard
Gus side and if it can be determined
that the minor suit offers the better
chance for game, while at the same
time probing for no-trump, that
appears the sounder procedure.
Today's hand is from tournament
play in which players constantly
strain for no-trump contracts be-
cause of the higher trick yield, and
where minor-suit contracts are
Stunned as the plague.
South opened with one diamond
and North in all cases responded
with a spade. South had no choice
but to rebid diamonds even though
he had somewhat more than a
minimum. 1t is at this point that
a variance was observed in the
treatment of the North hand. Some
players, on the theory that their
opening bid, combined with part
ner's, should produce game, took
a chance on the club suit and bid
two no-trump, which South gladly
carried to three, only to be sunk
by the original salvo of five club
tricks. Other Norths elected to make
q deliberate underbid of three dia-
monds, for the purpose Of allowing
partner to try for the game at no
trump. Some SouthS, fearing the
club suit and lacking courage, gen.
orally gave up the ghost. Others
tried three no-trump with the re-
suit outlined above. But the player
whose bidding is indicated in the
diagram gave himself every chance
by his call of three hearts. This
presumably showed a four-card
heart suit, but if partner had a
club stopper it would permit him to
try for three no-trump and, if not,
the door was still open for game
contract in diamonds if either part
ner chose to bid it.
North, of course, realized that
the partnership was without 'protec-
ton in clubs and decided to chance
a game contract in diamonds, feel
ing that at the worst it should de-
pend on some fineSse. Note that
North's hand would have been just
as impressive had his clubs and
hearts been reversed, in which case
North would have bid three no
trump, which would be safe against
any distribution of the cards,
whereas a five-diamond contract
might be set if the cards were not
favorably located. s

greater portion of it than most
men in working on a solution of
the central mystery which always

most basic concern of the human

cried out, What is man, that

News From The Cheese Front

American made Swiss cheese is
just as good as the imported va
riety. Before the last war about
half of our Swiss cheese was i'm
ported and many Americans felt
that the imported cheese was far
superior to the American Swiss.
Our manufacturer have learned,
however, to make a cheese equal
in quality and flavor to the i'm
ported Swiss.
Swiss cheese is usually made in
cakes weighing from $50 to 200
pounds. The cakes are usually
two and one-half to three feet
wide and six to nine inches thick.
The holes in Swiss cheese
should vary from the size of a
nickel to the size of a half dollar.
The holes are made naturally by
the carbon dioxide that forms dur
inc the curing process.
The holes should be fairly re-
gular in size and shape Avoid
Swiss cheese with small pin-point
holes. They are sign of poor
quality and may indicate a bitter
