What goes into the Nations
No. l basketball upset?
On the day after the night
before, Tom OKeefe, the smil-
ing Irishman who coaches
Georgetown, still had that
bright glow. Whatever happens
from here on out, his Hoyas al
ready had delivered the biggest
basketball shocker Of the sea-
son and the Hoyas' all-time
greatest triumph.
His unheralded team had
soundly whipped Loyola of Chi
cago, the defending NCAA
champion and the No. / team
in the Nation, 69-58, Friday
night in the first-round of the
Philadelphia Quaker City Tour
nament. And they said it
couldn't be done.
Three ingredients made UP
the bomb:

starters from the team that
beat Cincinnati for last years
National championship and yet
it led the Hoyas only once, 7-6
The Hoyas built up a 1928 lead
at the half and only once there
after did Loyola cut it below
double figures.
The victory blueprint included
Jim Christy's 30-point Job. but
equally important we're the
way the Hoyas' tall men boxed
Loyola's leaping rebounders off
the boards and little Jim
Browns defensive work on John
Egan, the Ramblers' playmaker,
Browns job was to play Egan
close without the ball. thus
preventing him from getting a
pass back and setting Loyola's S
offense in motion. That was a
tip from the scouting report.
"Nobody's been giving this
team much credit" OKeefe
said. I'VE beat Manhattan at
Madison Square Garden and
got only a couple of little para
graphs in the Washington
papers. I think the kids felt
they had to really show what
they could do"
That could have been ingredi-
ent No. 4.

in the national tournament in
Phoenix, the normal game con-
tract in no-trump depended on
guessing how to play the dia-
monds. .r
South won the club opening
in his own hand and in most
cases laid down the ace OF
diamonds to start the suit. This
gave East two sure diamond
tricks. If East had sense
enough to switch to hearts, the
defenders would get two dia-
mondS and three hearts to de-
feat the contract. +"
Naturally, North was sure to
point out that South could
make the contract by leading
a spade to dummy's ace and
leading the first diamond from
dummy. If East failed to play
an honor, South could let
dummy's 10 of diamonds ride
for a finesSe.
The trouble is that this play
would lose If West rather than
East happened to hold XIX
of diamonds. How should South
play the suit If he isn't gifted
with 1920 hindsight2
Apply Pressure y
The best method is to put
the pressure on West. Win the
first club trick and lead a low
diamond from the South hand.
If West has Xxx of diamonds
he will not play his low card
calmly and at a normal pace.
He will either play his king
at once or will think things
over carefully before playing
low. ri
In this case. of course, West
would have no problem. He
would play his low diamond,
and declarer would finesse with
dummy'S nine.
After East has taken The
jack of diamonds, declarer gets
back to dummy and leads. a
diamond through East. When
East plays low, South illnesses.
The assumption is that West
did not play low from XXX,
and that East must therefore
still hold the king. II.

Knowing People
Helps You Guess
BY ALFRED SHEINWOLD.

Don't let anybody tell you
that bridge is purely a scien-
tific game. No matter how skill
full you are a certain amount
of guesswork remains, and
you'll do better in this area
If you know something about
people as well as something
about cards.
