CONTRACT

Mr.. Abel thought he had
struck gold when he led the

He pictured his partner as hav-

honors in the suit and. with two

Actually Mr.. Champion had
used a rare type of holdup play.
He didn't know how many
times he would have to lose the
lead before he got nine tricks
established. He did know 1t
would be at least three times
once in spades, once in hearts
and once in clubs.
He used the formula ! have
suggested in previous columns
the holdup is advisable at
no-trump contracts unless the
number Of shoppers you have In
the suit led is one more than
the number of times you must
lose the lead.
Holding exactly three stop
pers in diamonds, he let the
jack win the first trick. Look
ing happy, Mr.. Abel continued
the suit. Mr.. Champion won
and led a spade. Mr.. Abel could
have been a hero here If he had
played his king. But he didn't.
The nine went on from dummy
and Mr.. Muzzy was in with the
queen.
| BY reason Of the holdup at
trick one he had no diamond
to return. He led the deuce of
hearts, the ten was played
from the closed hand and Mr..
Abel won with the king. Mr..
Champion took the diamond
return and led another spade.

Story Brings
Tart Reply
From Coach

In a story carried by an area
newspaper last week 1t was
enormously stated that the
Caldwell high school cage
mentor dipped into his own
pocket to buy new uniforms
for the cage team last year"
Caldwell basketball coach,
Glenn Scott, stated Monday
that the writer of the story
was without proper authority
to make such a statement and
never did he imply that it was
necessary for him to act with
such expediency.
Coach Scott stated that he
wants it known the new uni
forms were purchased with the
authority of the schools athle-
tic board and were completely
paid for by funds derived from
the record attendance estab-
lished last year.
Last seasons record for the
Redskins was II wins against
six defeats, not IL and four
as implied in the story.
Coach Scott stated that he
regrets such a misleading re-
port was printed.

Viking Cagemen
Figure In Auto
Crash On SR 146

Returning from a practice
session at Sarahsville last Thurs
day evening, six members of the
Cumberland Viking high school
basketball team escaped serious
injury when the car in which
they were riding swerved out of
control, crashed thru wire
fence and struck a tree at the
edge of a small creek.
Investigating patrolmen re-
ported the accident occurred on
SIR 146, only a short distance
from the Noble-Guernsey county
line.
1t is reported the driver of
the car, Richard Jordan, Cum
berland high school sophomore,
failed to negotiate a curve when
the rear right tire blew out.
Other occupants of the car
were James Dudley, James Hol-
bert, Richard Jenkins, Kenneth
West, and Gordon McDaniels.
Coach Jim Marks expressed
some concern whether or nor
the accident could have had some
serious repercussion with any
one of his six starting cagemen
Obviously they all survived the
near-serious ordeal with only q
few bruises and bumps. The fol
lowing night, the Vikings en-.
gagged the Byesville Falcons and
lost by a close score to the host
team, 46-43.

Sportsmanship
With basketball season begin
ming, good sportsmanship is
again very important. In the
past years, Caldwell students
have been known as being good
sports. This is really something
for the student body to be proud
of. But remember, one student
or spirited fan can ruin this by
acting smart, yelling at the visit
ing team, or booing if he isn't
pleased with a decision made by
the officials. Let's not have any
student cause the whole student
body to lose the honor of being
called good sports"

Practice sessions are now being
conducted for an hour and AS
minutes each evening, one unit
using the floor from 3:l5 to 500
and the other from 500 to 6:45.
Junior high players reported for
practice to Coach Jim Smoot
last Saturday with q turning
out. Their practice sessions will
be held on Tuesdays and Fri
days beginning next week.
Coach Scott is expecting a
packed house for the opening
game with Belle Valley next
Tuesday night, judging by the
advance sale of season and
reserve tickets, with extra seats
being set up on the stage. The
reserve section is located on the
west side of the gym, while the
student body cheering section
has been moved across the floor
in back of the scoring bench.
The band, divided into three
units for the home games, will
be seated on the stage to furnish
music for the fans when the
game is not in progress.
In addition to the general
painting and repair of the gym
and shower rooms, the coach
and managers are painting the
bleachers in red and gray-the
school colors-and are also paint
ing the wall at the south end
of the gym making it much
lighter.
Merle Barnhart has added a
large Indian head in the center
circle of the floor as well as
painting signs to be used in the
gym and posters listing the Cald-
we'll schedule to be displayed
around town. He is also working
on large tepee to be used in
Coach Scott's plans for the COM
ing season-part of his dazzling
display"
The Redskins are working
hard and rounding off the rough
edges in preparation for their
opener against the Riders before
launching into the toughest
schedule ever undertaken by
Caldwell team. In addition to
the rugged non-league oppon-
ents lined up by Coach Scott,
the Muskingum Valley League
is expected to show unusual
strength and balance this season.
All in all-another interesting
season of basketball is in store
for Caldwell fans when SCOTS
dazzling display is unwrapped
beginning Tuesday, December 2.
