In today's deal Mr.. Champion
had all suits stopped but he prop
erly figured his hand was too
strong for a one-no-trump open

partner responded with one dia-
mond, he knew the time had come
to show his full strength.
This he accomplished by bidding
no-trump. Maybe Miss Brash
stretched q little when she went to

knew her partner had about half

Problem or Two.
Mr.. Abel led the six of spades
which was taken with the king in
the closed hand. Mr.. Champion
saw he had a problem or two.
It would be lucky II the defender
holding the ace of diamonds had
no more than one other diamond.
Then dummy's diamond suit would
be good for four tricks.
Even then the club suit would
have to be worked on to bring in
nine tricks.
Still Nine Tricks.
Giving himself every chance, Mr..
Champion led the seven Of dia-
monds and played dummys eight.
Mrs. Keen correctly held of with
her ace.
A club was returned and the jack
fnessed. Now the nine of diamonds
was overtaken with dummy's To-
and again Mrs. Keen held OF.
At this point Mr.. Champion knew
he had all the diamond tricks he
was going to get He f1nessed the
queen of clubs. then laid down the
ace. When the king dropped he
could count five club winners, two
diamonds and two spades. Close
but still nine tricks.

AboIishing Chicago u. Football
Was No tumble, Hutchins Soys

DIR. Robert M. Hutchins says he
made no tumble when he abolished
intercollegiate football at the
University Of Chicago a decade
ago.
DR.. Hutchins was president OF
the university at the time. Now
he is an associate director of the
Ford Foundation.
He testified before a House
committee investigating charitable
foundations, but the thoughts of
committee members turned to
football on the eve Of the tradi-
tional Thanksgiving Day games.
Weren't you the first one to
suggest abolishing football at
Chicago?" asked Representative
Hays. Democrat, of Arkansas.
Representative OToole, Demo-
crat, of New York broke in: IF
I had a team like Chicago had,
I'd have abolished it, too."
DR.. Hutchins, who didn't think
this was funny, snapped back {:

CHAPTER XIV.
TANG.

AS far as Tang Is concerned,
the fateful Gath of october. 1914
begins quite normally, and 1t Is
not until after dark that the big
convoy is encountered.
When contact Is made. however,
the radar goes wild with pips. and
there is no doubt that this is
really o big outfit. Dick OKane
orders the customary tracking
procedure prior to the attack and
commences the approach to o mr.
ing position. Tang has eleven
torpedoes left on board. and this
looks like the perfect chance to
get rid Of all Of them. :
The near column Of three huge
ships shows up plainly. The lead
ing two are transports. loaded
with irregularly shaped deck gear
evidently landing equipment;
the third is q large tanker. also
heavily laden.

ships. Even as the explosions
start to come in, Tang is swinging
around to present her stern tubes
at another tanker and cargo car
rier moving up astern Of the
chaps just torpedoed.
Even as Dick O'Kane on the
bridge starts to draw a bead for
the stern tube shot. there are
splashes all about; someone has
spotted the submarines strange
low hull, and has rightly dag
nosed it as the cause Of all the
trouble. Unperturbed. Dick puts
in the final shooting bearings,
and three torpedoes are fired aft
at the two new targets.
AS the last fish is fired aft, a
whole salvo lands alongside Tang,
just as the skipper shouts, "All
ahead flank!" It is undoubtedly
high time that the sub got out
of here.
O'Kane is intently looking aft
at the melee he has brought
about, when suddenly a large de-
stroyer looms into sight astern of
one of the stricken tankers. This,
undoubtedly, is the source Of that
unpleasantly close salvo.
At this moment the torpedoes
just fired start hitting. One hits
the transport and one hits the
tanker. who is evidently laden with

II was grateful to the Uni
versity Of Michigan for beating

I could recommend that we abolish
football"
DR.. Hutchins said that ending
intercollegiate football improved
the caliber Of the students land
enhanced the enthusiasm Of the
alumni who then became inter-
ested In our scholastic achieve
ments rather than the figures on
the scoreboard."
Two hours later, he interrupted
his testimony on another subject

How many times must Dick
OKane have wished that he had
left well enough alone at this
point, but that. Of course, was
never Tang's style. There are
two torpedoes left. and there are
still ships afloat; so the two fish
are thoroughly checked, and then
loaded into the forward torpedo
tubes.
And how the Fates must have
laughed as No. "a torpedo

commences to gather way, Right

WHRANGG! A terrific blow
strikes Tang in the after torpedo
room! Instantly the three after
compartments fill. and the ballast
tanks in that section Of the ship
are completely destroyed. The
stricken hull Of the submarine
sinks by the stern Immediately.
O'Kane gives his last order to
the white face Of the telephone
talker in the coming tower hatch
at his feet, staring up at his cap
tain as though somehow he could
do something which would prevent
this monStrous thing from hap
lpening to them. "Shut the hatch!"
But there is no time to carry
out this order, which had been in

ship as possible. Even as he utters
the words, Dick sees the water of
the Far Western Pacific pour into
the swiftly submerging hatch, and
he Is swept of the bridge of his
ship into the Straits Of Formosa.
And, as he comes to the surface,
he sees two things flash Of fire

ducked out and swan to the sur

This story he repeats to OKane
between gasps in the choppy sea.
And as he is telling it, there comes
"a sudden burbling of air from
alongside the protuding bow Of
Tang, and it swiftly sinks from
sight.
The captain stareS and his heart
