Similarly. in following suit to
a trick which you can't win (as
where an opponent has led an
acel, you naturally play your
lowest card.
These practices are correct
most of the time. You make
such plays almost without
thinking. Notice that word
almost" You should never
make them without thinking at
all.
Consider the matter of un-
blocking, which simply means
playing an unnecessarily high
card in order to increase your
chances Of winning. These
plays are missed by the ultra
conservative player because he
can't stand the thought of part
ing with a high card when a
lower one will do. They are
missed by the careless player
because he just doesn't think of
them. Not in time, anyway.
The need for unlocking
doesn't come up too often,
which is another reason why
the play is overlooked. All I
can tell you is-don't play
automatically. Try to look
ahead a few tricks. And think.
In today's deal Mr.. Meek led
the queen of clubs and Mr.. Dale
paused, as usual, before he
played to the first trick. The
automatic or habit" play would
be a low card from dummy,
winning in the closed hand with
the king. Very economical, and
very wrong.
Mr.. Dale saw that he had no
loser to discard on the ace of
clubs. All he had to worry
about was the loss of two trump
tricks. If the hearts were di-
vided %. the contract was safe.
If Mr.. Meek, on his left, had
the ace and any two of the
other outstanding hearts, it was
hopeless.
But suppose Mr.. Abel had
three hearts including the ace.
Then the hand would be make
able, but only if hearts were
led twice from dummy. On this
thinking Mr.. Dale put up the
ace of clubs at trick one, drop
ping his singleton king. He
led a heart from the board and |
won with the queen when Mr.. |
Abel played the 10.
Now he entered dummy again
with a small diamond to the
ace and returned another heart. |
This time Mr.. Abel had no
better play than to go in with
the ace-and that was the last
trick for the defenders.

LIFE IN
COUNTRY
Snake Invodes Bird House
BY JAMES BIRcHFIELD

Tweed Howser has developed
a philosophy about snakes.
Tweed says he let's them live
as long as they leave him
alone. He doesn't like them,
but admits they eat rats and
keep them out of the barns.
But the other day Tweed
broke his rule. That was the
day the black snake got in his
martin house-the one he built
as q model Of his own house
and just put up this spring.
It's true there were no mar
tins in this house. Starlings
took it over earlier in the
spring, leaving the martins two
other houses that have been
there several years. But the
martins may take over from
the starlings come another
spring. and. anyway, Tweed
says he doesn't want any black
snakes to spread the word
around that there is easy pick
ings in his bird houses.
There was a great clatter of
bird noises up in the house,
Tweed says. He got a ladder
and Nolen Lowe climbed up to
investigate. Nolen has a trick
with snakes. He doesn't mind
them at ADJUST catches a
snake by the tail and cracks
of its head. like you would
crack a whip.
Well, Nolen climbed up and
poked a stick into a hole in the
house. And out came the snake
all four and one-half feet
OF him. He had climbed the
pole. got around the house
platform and had crawled
through a two-inch hole into
one Of the nest partitions. 1t
must have been q tight At. too,
because he was in q space
about five by seven inches.
Nolen got him by the tail and
cracked of his head. Then
they opened him up to see what
was inside. And, sure enough,
there were three starlings he
had swallowed.

Missing Links
The surprising thing isn't
that there should be one OF
more types Of missing links
but that there should not be
many more. There must have
been thousands of varieties
and millions Of numbers-oi
them during the course Of past
ages, and the fact that all

amazing thing. not that some
have survived.

scientific view and the search

ports that a creature resem.
bling the Yeti has been killeC
by hunters.
AS 1 understand it. the skull,
OF this creature is on its way
to Katmandu and I want Peter
to examine 1t and buy it. if II
is indeed a Snowman or other
unknown species.
The monsoon has hit Nepal
now and it will take the Byrnes
about two weeks to trek out oil

not received reports on the last
10 days of their hunt and Their
Efforts to trap a Yeti using
frogs as bait. When the last re-
ports are in we will have a
chance to review the results OF
the expedition.
AS Of now. however, we can
list these very real accomplish
ments:
A large Yeti was heard in
camp and tracked in the Barun
Valley. Large and small tracks
were seen on several occasions
In the Chhoyang, giving us
prints for scientists to study
A sample Of Yeti hair found in
q cave is being brought back for
analysis.
In the Chhoyang Gorge we
have discovered an area clearly
inhabited by at least two small
Yeti. These were actually seer
on two occasions by reliable
Sherpas attached to the expedi-
ton.
Whether this animal is a
metz COR small species of
YetD or the young of the giant
Snowman, las the natives be-
lieve). remains to be seen. The
men who saw 1t at close range
by night described it as being
four and one-half feet tall, OF
stocky build and covered with
shaggy dark hair. 1t had q
gorilla-like face, sloping fore
head and pointed skull. Most
important. it walked erect
which distinguishes it from any
previously known apes.
Feeds on Frogs
We learned that this type
feeds on frogs and hunts al
night. 1t is immensely strong
for Peter Byrne found many
places where the Snowman had
overturned huge river boulders
looking for frogs.
/ am not at all disappointed
in the results gained by our
four-month expedition, MOI
chagrined that someone else
may have been the first to kill
a Snowman. If the animal shot
by hunters this month is q
Yeti it will be a momentous
discovery and I am anxious
to bring the skull to the United
States.
The description of this beast
Is similar to that given by our
Sherpas who saw the Snow
man in May. though it is re-
ported to have a face like a
bear" 1t could be a "Chutay. f"
or Himalayan red bear. But the
part about it carrying a yak
