not quite powerful enough to
make an overcall in the suit bid
by my opponent. But don't
need much help from you to
make game. About trick will
do. And don't worry too much
about my trump suit. It's long
enough and strong"
Understanding this message,
Mrs. Keen had enough to raise
Mr.. Abels jump overcal in to-
days deal. Miss Brash thought
a long time before passing four
hearts doubled, but as it turned
out. her final decision was a
profitable one.
Mr.. Dale put up a sly defense
based on a plan to take tricks
with all three of his trumps. He
opened the five of clubs. Mr..
Abel won on the board with the
queen and led a heart. Miss
Brash discarded the ten of dia-
monds and the king lost to the
ace.
Now Mr.. Dale led his last club
which was taken with the ace
in the closed hand. Out came
another trump and Mr.. Dale was
in with the queen.
He led back his small diamond,
the seven, to make sure Miss
Brash would win the trick. She
did win, with the ace and re-
turned a club which Mr.. Dale
ruffed with the six of hearts.
Down one.
Mr.. Abel had no excuses. He
should have become suspicious
when Mr.. Dale refused to lead
either of the suits bid by his side.
He should have known Mr.. Dale
wanted to ruff a club. To elm
mate the chance of that hap
pening, he should have led a
diamond at trick two. This would
have taken away the only pos
Sible means of entry to Miss
BraSh'S hand.
And with that entry gone. MI.
Dale would never have taken a
trick with his six of hearts.

Probably not many Of the
coaches even were aware al the
resolution, but it seems certain
that if both the coaches and council
had voted for the two-platoons. the
committee would have left the rule
alone.
Another major point made at the
convention was that the two-pla-

ented as many injuries as its pro-
ponents thought.

inadequate warm-up is a more
important cause of injuries than
is fatigue"
There was no general line Of
opinion among groups of players

NEW YORK R - The nations

viii adapt their teams to the new
lone platoon system that will De

With the outlawing two days ago
of the two-platoon system which
has been in effect IL years, by
the National Collegiate Athletic
Associations Rules Committee, the
coaches agreed they would have
to revise their strategy consider
ably.
But just what they intended to
do, even they didn't seem to know.
The new rule took them almost
completely by surprise, because
they took it for granted the two
platoon system was here to stay.
When they voted in favor of it by
a Al margin not long ago, there
seemed little doubt that it was set
for long tenure.
But the committee apparently

City Fathers
To Dicker With
FIan,ingOs On
Baseball Setup

1ne City Commission, al
Ter a full hour and a half
Of haggling at a special
meeting yesterday after
noon, voted to make a deal
with Armando Acevedo,
holder of a lease on the con-
cessions at the Wickers
Field Stadium to buy up
those rights and dicker with
the Miami Beach Flamin-
gos who are considering
moving their Florida Inter-
national League franchise
here.
The Commissioners arriv-
ed at that decision despite
spirited opposition on the
part of Mayor C. B. Harvey
who has opposed granting
concessions to the Flamin-
gos throughout the course
of the negotiations which
got underway over a month
ago.
On the motion of commissioner
John Carbonell, who has champion
ed the cause of professional base
ball in Key West, the city fathers
agreed to buy up Acevedo's con-
cession equipment for $500. But,
the city will kick in but $3.50 of
total cost of the equipment and the
Flamingos will be asked to match
that figure. The deal is contingent
upon the Flamingos going along
with the deal.
Acevedo will be permitted to
keep the lease on the Wickers
Field concessions during the foot
ball season on two year basis
with a three year option for re-
neWal.
Apparently. the last obstacle in
the way of the Flamingo move to
Key West has now been removed.
Carbonell, at the conclusion of
yesterdays meeting suggested that
the city commission meet at the
earliest opportunity with Paul Rust
and Joe Ryan in an effort to in
duce them to come here.
Acevedo siad he was going along
with the deal because me wanted
to see baseball here although he
was losing a lot of money y
Mayor Harvey, in a table pound
ing denunciation of the deal, aver
ed that Acevedo was being pres
sured into selling out by the com.
mission. But, when queried by the
commission if he felt that way,
Acevedo answered that IF he
thought that were true he would
walk out now.
Il only want to see baseball
, here" he added.
When the measure came up for
vote, commissioners Cobo, Della
ney, Carbonell and Eisner voted
yes while the Mayor came up with
q resounding no.

Sports Roundup
By GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK R-Since returning
to the snow and ice a few days
back from Australia's baking pave
ments, we have run into a very
lively curiosity about John Landy,
the young Melbourne University
miller who recently startled the
track world with successive efforts
of AL and 4:2.8.
Somehow, people on this side Of
the world find it difficult to be-
lieve that a boy Of whom few of
them ever heard suddenly ranks as
the second greatest miller in the
long history of foot racing. They
ask. as he really that good?"
Well, the answer to that one is
easy. Those Aussies have the fin
est stopwatches available and they
are jealous of their reputation for
never giving a runner the best Of
it. Landy can run that fast now,
and he will run faster before he's
through.
They they ask, how come . run
ner who couldn't qualify for the
final of the 1900 meters at Hell
sinki last summer and who q year
ago was 4:28 miller, how come
he sprouts wings, with no warn
ing? The answer here is somewhat
more involved, having to do with a
fierce.eyed coach named Percy
Cerrutty and the first honest-to-
goodness running track ever in
stalled in Australia.
This Cerrutty is a real character.
