She successfully handled a
tricky contract today, following
a line of play she may have
learned 40 years ago.
Mr.. Abel's opening lead was
the five of spades and Mrs. Keen
won with the ace. The queen
of spades was returned and Mrs.
Fusty was in with the king. She
laid down the ace of hearts and
paused to think things out when
she saw the queen drop on her
right.
Reaching her decision, she
firmly led the ace of diamonds
and continued with the queen.
Mr.. Abel won the second dia-
rnond with the king and noted
that the suit was set up. In an
effort to take one of the trump
entries out of dummy immedi-
ately, he led a low club.
But Mrs. Fusty refused to ruff
In dummy. Furthermore, she
elected not to discard the last
spade from the board. but to
play one of the good diamonds.
Mrs. Keen won with the ace
OF clubs and returned the trey.
Mrs. Fusty won with the king
and again discarded a diamond
from the board. She was saving
dummy's spade for a good puf-
pose.
Now she led the eight of
hearts to dummy's nine and re-
turned the spade, ruffing with
the king of hearts. This maneu-
yer paved the way for getting
rid of the obnoxious nine of
diamonds, which had been block
ing that suit.
The deuce of hearts to dunn
my's ten. followed by the jack
OF hearts, picked up the last out
standing trump. On this last
trick Mrs. F'usty discarded the
nine of diamonds and the re-
manning cards on the board were
good.
Mr.. Abel started a discussion
as to whether the hand could
have been made some other way
It went on and on.
Mrs. Fusty couldn't stand too
much OF this. I'm my opinion,
she said (there is nothing on
which she does not have an
opinion). 1.-The popular theory

Grabbing cagers
Take Two From

GRAMBLING, La, Dec. IL -
Especially Robert Hopkins scor-
ed 80 points against a tight-work-
ing Kentucky defense here last
Tuesday night to spark the Gram
bling Tigers to a 68-65 victory
over the Thoroughbreds in a con-
test marked by accurate shooting
from outside the free throw line.
A poised, imperturable operator,

out Of normal procedure and ran
his two-game total against Ken
lucky to 70 points.
He trimmed 43 points Monday
night and nobody on the visitors
club showed an aptitude for stop

first contest 1864.
Tuesdays game was deadlocked
Is times and the lead changed
hands on IL occasions as the WISH
tors compensated for their lack
of height with superior skill, stami-
| ma and aggressiveness.
Burnett Williams, James Goss
and Clark Roberts were Kentucky's
big guns. They registered a ma
jority Of their points with long
set shots. Goss was top man with
18 points.
Robert Mccoy popped 10 points
through the nets for Grambling
with drive-in maneuvers and clean
ed both boards of rebounds.
The Tigers connected on 80 per
cent of their shots from the floor
and posted a 50 per cent average
from the free throw line.
Hopkins executed his hook and
jump shots from the stratosphere
and left the game with field goal
average of 42.4 per cent for the
two games.
His two game total pushed him
closer to the 1000 point mark.
The big junior pivot has 1929
points for 50 college games.

Much study, work and effort
have been focused on the new con-

Craftsmanship Of DR.. Frank L.

house College, the new constitution
and proposed changes were dis

ness. Officials and members OF
the conference decided, however
to defer some of the proposed
changes until the annual Spring
meeting at Tuskegee.
A very important feature of the
annual meeting is the problem Of
providing adequate football SEIZED
ules for all member institutions
Considerable progress has been
made in getting the required num-
Der of games for conference op-
ponents. At the Spring meeting
the possibility is definite that sat
isfactory football schedules will
be arranged for all members. One
interesting feature that will re-
ceive top priority at the Spring
meeting is the proposal to COM
plete basketball schedules every
year at the Spring meeting in
Tuskegee.

work for the preceding year were
