However, Mr.. Masters follow
ing two-spade rebid indicated
that he still had hope Of reach
ing game.
Mr.. Dale was not expected to
pass that bid. It was unlikely
that he would be able to raise
spades and Mr.. Masters knew
that. But he now had a chance
and an obligation to clarity his
first bid. His partner wanted
him to indicate whether his sim
gle heart raise was of the cour-
tesy variety or whether it was q
maximum.
He properly considered it q
maximum and jumped to four
hearts. In this particular case,
If he had bid only three hearts,
Mr.. Masters would have passed.
Mr.. Champion led the queen Of
diamonds and Mr.. Masters looked
the situation over. Outside Of
the trump suit he had four win
ners in high cards. One more
trick might be developed in
spades or in diamonds If either
suit broke evenly, but the odds
were against such a division.
To try ito get two ruffs In
dummy would involve giving up
the lead three timeS-once in
spades and twice in diamonds.
Presumably this would give the
enemy three opportunities to
lead trumps and obviously that
would be fatal to the plan Of
getting six tricks out of the heart
suit.
Mr.. Masters quickly saw that
his best bet was to ruff twice in
his own hand. So, after winning
the first trick with the ace Of
diamonds, he cashed the ace and
king Of hearts. He was not both
cred by the fact that Mrs. Keen
showed out on the second heart
lead.
He led to dummy's ace Of clubs,
returned club and ruffed it with
the six Of hearts. Next he caShed
the king and ace Of spades, led
dummy's last club and ruffed
with the queen Of hearts. That
made eight tricks and the good
Jack and ten Of hearts in dummy
filled the requirements Of the
contract.
This device Of using your own
trumps to run with, and dunn
my's to pull the opposing trumps,
Is known as reversing the dunn
my. To recognize the need for
the play, "place" yourself across
the table and imagine that your
hand is the dummy. Viewed
from this angle, the winning
line of play for a vital extra
trick will often become crystal
clear.

Morality Of Boxing
Defended by Priest
In Catholic Paper

VATICAN CITY, Jan. 81 (P).
L 'Osservatore Romano pub
lished yesterday a Catholic
priests article defending boxing
as a sport not "intrinsically i'm
moral" and therefore "tolerable."
The writer, the Rev. Filippo
Roootti. pointed out that box
ing deaths are extremely rare.
1t replied to an article by an
other priest attacking boxing.
''If boxing were immoral. then.
not only all promoters and fight
ers, but also the millions of per-
sons who watch fights would
have to be considered to be sim
ners," he declared.

EARLY FORECAST HOLDS UP
MilIikon Says Terps
Could Rise to Sd Place

away without getting q shot on
Maryland has lost six games
and Is in fifth place In the con-
ference mainly because it has
been lax in getting the defensive
rebounds and has been missing
fouls at the wrong time.
The Maryland varsity shoots
from l,500 to 1,700 practice free
throws a day and its worst mark
is 70 per cent. But in games the
figure has dropped as low as 10
per cent. and Millikin doesn't
know what he can do about that.
There's no way you, can simulate
game conditions in shooting a
free throw in practice.
Lack Of Height Hurts
The Terps have been spottins
the rebounds mainly because they
lack the 6-foot-7 or 6-foot-8 man
that most Of their opponents
have. And they'll lack him next
year, too, because there's nobody
of that height on the freshman
team.
About his sophomores. the
coach says Nick Davis and John
Nacincik are developing about on
schedule, but John Urbanik is not
making the proper use Of his 9
feet Z inches. Perry Moore. who
played the entire overtime game
against Georgetown the last time
out. has been pleasant surprise
He'll probably start at center
although Millikan is hoping
Moore's performance might in
spire Urbanik.
Bud watched Navy play Temple
last Saturday and has respect for
the Middies despite their trounc-
ing by the Owls. Ben Carnevale
will come up here with a four
man zone and one man on Bob
Kesslef, or a three-man zone and
play man-to-man on Kessler and
Bob O'Brien.
They'll be tough. but we can
beat Navy or any team on our
schedule If we play our kind of
basketball. The trouble has been
that too often we're playing
somebody else's."

Bragan says unequivocally. "His

Another pitcher who may bear
watching is 23-year-old Jackie
Brown. who has a record Of 594
