African Hmm.

Few of us come face to face
with the African hippo water
babies. A closeup at our Zoo
gives us an opportunity to notice
the small ears, like stranded
leaves on his crown, and the
slanting, red-rimmed eyes. The
f1aring pink-lined nostrils have
self-closing valves. Do not be
startled If the hippo yawns. He
often exposes his cavernous OPEN
ing to guests.
In Africa the hippo spends his
days lolling in the water, resem-
bling a partly submerged log, or
lying on the sandspits in the sun.
At night he rises slowly to his
feet to canvas the shores for land
food. At this time he is likely to
visit a cultivated cornfield, leav-
ing devastation behind. Natives
are safe, for hippos do not attack
humans-intentionally.
At one time African tribes
killed hippos for their meat, using
the hides for leather whips and
the ivory tusks for barter.
Bull hippos are terrific fighters.

Contract Bridqe
By EosIev Blockwood

In learning when to pass, it j.
well to remember this fact-that
the overcall is only a distant rela-
tive OF the opening bid. Mr.. Abel
was surprised and shocked when
he took Hotpoint set at his
three-diamond contract in todays
deal. He made much of the fact
that he had a good opening bid
And that was true. The trouble
was, of course, that he was not
the opening bidder.

The bidding:
West North East South
! spade Pass 2hearts diamonds
Double All pass
Both opponents had shown
strength by bidding. His partner
had shown weakness by passing.
What could Mr.. Meek be expected
to have? Just about what he
actually showed up with-a couple
Of jacks.
Mr.. Abel should have passed
promptly. This decision lies in
the answer to one simple question
what did he have to gain by en-
tering the bidding? Surely it
would be an absurdity to expect
to make game at diamonds or no
trump on the North-South cards.
II the opponents obligingly
dropped out of the bidding and
Mr.. Meek turned up with a couple
OF key cards-say the king of
hearts and queen of diamonds
then 3-odd at diamonds might be
made. Sixty points. What kind
of a gain is that, compared to a
possible loss Of 1,100 points or
more?
Another point in favor of pass
ing was the fact that Mrs. Keen
and Mr.. Dale probably would have
got too high if left to their own
devices and Mr.. Abel then would
have enjoyed plus score on the
deal.
AS actually played, Mrs. Keen
opened her lone heart and Mr..
Dale won with the king and re-
turned the seven of spades. The
queen lost to Mrs. Keen's ace and
she led back the four of spades
for her partner to ruff. Back
came a low club and Mrs. Keen
won with the king and led an
other spade. Mr.. Dale ruffed
again, cashed the queen Of clubs,
the ace of hearts and followed with
another heart. Mr.. Abel ruffed
with the jack of diamonds, which
held. But now he had to lose
another trump trick to Mrs. Keen's
ten spot.

LONDON, Mar. 28.-A former

eight-length victory over oxford
today in the 99th classic between
the light and dark blue crews on
the twisting Thames River.
Rowing in the No. 6 seat. 1885,
pound Louis B. McCagg supplied
the great pulling power for his
lighter teammates as the light
blue shell scored an upset victory
before the usual crowd Of SOC, 900
persons lining the banks for the
free show.
Cambridge led from the start
and won going away, covering
the a mile course in 10 min
uteS 81 seconds. The time was
far OF the record Of 1880 set bv
Cambridge in 1913 and the 1901
by Cambridge in its final time
trial last week.
McCagg'S Power Evident.
Described by British rowing
writer's as the "class oarsman"
of the race, the 6-foot-4 McCagg
and D. A. T. Leadley, No. S, were
in the engine room" Of the shell.
It was McCagg who caught the
writer's and crowds eye as the
Cambridge crew climaxed IL
weeks Of intensive training for
this one race. The lanky Ameri-
cans powerful rowing was espe-
cially evident, at the end, when
Cambridge. poured 1t on with a

This was Cambridge's 54th VIC
tory in the classic. Of English
crew racing, evening the score
for Oxford'S surprise victory in
q binding Snowstorn last year.
The 1877 race ended in a dead
heat.
For McCagg, who lives, by
coincidence. in Cambridge, Mass,
1t was revenge" of a sort, too.
He was the stroke of the 1850
Harvard crew which was trounced
by Cambridge on its American
tour that year.
McCagg started this season as
stroke Of the Cambridge eight,
but was shifted to No. 6 later

into a quick lead and built it up
to a length and a quarter after

Dart was going to slide off the
horses tail or roll under his belly.
AS they swung for home, Black
Fox Run moved up to lock stride
with the big bay and the pair
sprinted for the last fence as If it
were not there. In fact, Big
Breeze more or less ignored it,
taking out a whole panel with
out breaking his stride. He
landed full of run and drew
away by two lengths as they
hammered on past the judges.
Making his first start in two
years, Black Fox Run was by no
means disgraced. It is probable
