These nuts are nearly all shelled
and marketed as kernels.
Texas has some very fine orchards
of thin-shelled pecan trees. I'm
proved varieties are being set out
each year. The confectionery, bas-
ing, nut-salting and ice cream
trades are leading markets fol
pecan meats.
It is said that Union soldiers re-

they planted. This could account
for the fine solitary trees often
growing in an out-of of-the-way spot
The nuts measure from 2 to ~
inches. They are borne in clusters
of 3 to II, covered with thin husks
that break into four sections to
release the nut; a sharp tap by an
expert cracks the shell permitting
the whole or half kernel being re-
moved.
Pecans reproduce by seed and by
sprouts from younger stumps. Un-
fortunately, it is a favorite with the
hickory bark beetle. The Acadians
always spoke of the pecan as the

they found its meat tasty and

BILE is pronounced "hee," as in he

Mrs. Rhule plays strictly by the
book-or at least by her interpreta-
ton Of the book. In her opinion,
when her partner opens the bidding
and she has three and a half honor
tricks, she makes a Jump shift. In
todays deal she had better than
three and half tricks. In fact she
had a little better than four tricks.
Therefore, she had no hesitancy in
bidding two spades over Mr.. Cham
pion's opening bid of one heart.

There are two serious faults in
Mrs. Rhules hand which should
have made her decide to take things
easy with a simple one over one
response of one spade. The first
is the void suit in her partners bid
suit. The second is the lack of
solidity in her own two suits
spades and diamonds.
AS usual. blind adherence to
'rules" and lack of individual judg-
ment led to disaster. When you
make a jump-shift you must not
only have big hand, you must
also have some reasonable idea as
to where the hand can be played
for a practically certain game. In
this case Mrs. Rhule could not play
either of her own suits at game
without fairly good support from her
partner. And obviously she could
not support the suit her partner
had bid
Over her proper first response of
one spade Mr.. Champion would
have rebid two hearts. Mrs. Rhule
could then have bid three diamonds
and Mr.. Champion would have said
three hearts. Mrs. Rhule could now
have rebld her diamonds at the four
range. When Mr.. Champion bid
four hearts she should have passed,
even with her void. And four hearts
would almost certainly be made.
AS it was, Mrs. Rhule found the
queen of clubs right and still went
down three at. five diamonds.
Anyway, we weren't doubled, "
said Mrs. Rhule.
Mr.. Champion shook his head
sadly. "a real victory" he replied.

ISeixas Meets Tuero,
F|anl Tackles Perry
IN National Singles j.
BY the Associated Press

FORESI HILLS, N. T., Sept. l.
There's a pot of gold waiting at
the end of the rainbow for the
winner of the National Singles
tennis championship, which moved
into it's fourth session at the West
Side Tennis Club today.
If Frank Sedgman. the Aus
tralian ace-and prime favorite-
wins for the second straight year,
the pot will evaporate. at least rn-
til Frank helps his country defend
the Davis Cup in December.
If an American took the title
he probably would wind up on easy
street. Witness the number of
former champions who have done
it-Bobby Riggs. Don Bulge. Pan
cho Gonzales, Jack, Kramer and
so on down the line.
Only Art Larsen, who won year
before last, gambled and lost. He
figured he'd wait around, but he
went into such a decline that he's
no longer a drawing card.
Savitt Receptive.
Vic Seixas or Dick Savitt are
the most likely Americans to win
it if Sedgman doesn't. Seixas is a
businessman and has not been ap-
preached on the subject of turn
ing pro. Savitt is just starting out
in the world and probably would
be receptive to any offers. Few
could afford to turn down the
$50, 900 or more that would be laid
on the line.
Kramer, who currently is a
promoter, wants to line up the
Australians and they have his
proposition. If Ken McGregor had
won instead of having to drop out
because of a wrenched stomach
muscle, it's a pretty good bet he'd
have grabbed the offer.
In the three days of the tourn-
lament, none of the big boys have
been bothered unduly. Seixas
might run into trouble against
Jack Tuero, the former Tulane
star. today in one of the features
Tuero doesn't have what it takes
to beat SeiXas, but he could be
annoying.

fourth-seeded Herbie Flan

latter may be picked for a Davi.

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 1.-The
Redskins big show had a side at
traction as the squad prepared to
end preseason workouts at Occi-
dental College today and head for
San Antonio, Tex, and Saturday
night game with the Dallas
Texans.
Two unpublicized free agents,
Sam Venuto of Guilford College
and Bob Sykes of San Jose State.
are kicking up a fuss about the
No. 3 fullback job-the kind of
fuss Coach Curly Lambeau enjoys.
Chuck Drazenovich, the Red
skins No. l linebacker and one
of the leagues best. and Leon
Heath, being groomed to replace
Marine Pfc. Rob Goode on offense,
are fixtures. But it's nip and tuck
between Venuto and Sykes for the
relief job and the Dallas game
probably will decide who gets it.
Sykes is a burly 22O-pounder,
who has a fast start reminiscent
of Frank Atkins of few years
ago. He doesn't seem to mind
busting into the line, and with a
little help could go a long way.
But he doesn't hit any harder or
put more effort into his work than
the 198-pound Venuto. who played
halfback at Guilford.
Jerry Neri, Sammy Baugh'S
predecessor as backfield coach,
decided Venuto didn't have a
chance at halfback and moved
him to fullback after the first few
days of practice. 1t was strange
and rather uncomfortable, but
Sam stuck it out. Now he likes it.
Both Used on Defense.
Both have been used on defense,
where Sykes shows up pretty well
because of his bulk and speed.
Venuto, an 11-second man. seemed
a trif1e slow-that is, until he got
a chance to carry the ball. He
smacked the line like a stuck bull,
getting those precious three and
four extra yards that mean first
downs.
Lambeau liked it. Sykes didn't
get to play in the last scrimmage
