MATTER By Bill Gray There is nothing quite so pathetic as an I, Mr writer laboring over an article when no I. M. events have occurred. But although tennis and football are still a week away, Mac Frield and the en- virons have seen more thall their share or feet practicing the in- tricacies of the down and out. After viewing some practices, i can yell that some of my predictions may prove to be rather absurd by the time the season closes. It is reputed that Rawson has a freshman who is faster than the average Grinnellian, and with the advent of flag rather than touch football, the running game becomes more important. Raw- son. if it can find a quarterback, should prove to be a power to be reckoned with, Smith and Clark played a rookie game which Smith won rather handily. This is believed to have prompted the late evening mining program which Clalk instituted last Monday night. South, North and Langan have been practicing but they seem to be using cement blocks for hands and. as a result, preseason opinion has them filling the bottom of the league. Gates, which was so good last year, looks to have fallen on hard times and could have trouble winning even half of its games, With Rick Bair (as in Bear) wearing in at a svelte 225 and the likes of Roger Able carrying added poundage, Dibble should Outweigh the opposition by about 30 pounds per man as they at- tempt to go through their sixth straight year without incurring more than one loss. Cowles, West. and East are somewhat unknown quantities but appear to be neither very good nor very bad. in any event, it's D-Day minus one week. TliE KIBBITZER By John Ra: Psyche bids can be a powertul weapon in your bidding ar- lenal when you are careful to control partner’s range and ease of response. in the following hand. South elected to open with one diamond. a psychological asking bid, looking for diamond support from partner in an anticipated nartrump contract. South was not afraid of any of the possible responses: to two diamonds he was prepared to bid two no-trump. e signoit; to either two clubs or three diamonds he was prepared to bid three noti‘ump. Four or five diamonds, the two dangerous bids that North could have made. were abated because the partnership had agreed not to jump an opening bid to the tour or tive level, Furthermore, South Was not afraid of having the hand passed out since one diamond is an easy bid to respond to or overcall. North made the correct re- sponse of one spade. intending to make a delayed single raise in diamonds signiiying 10-12 points and diamond support ~ too much for a two diamond bid and too little for a three diamond game go- ing bid. 0n the second round of bidding. South again intentionally misrepresented his hand by bidding two clubs. At this point South reasoned that if partner had a iive card spade suit he would re- bid it and game would be played in {our spades. li North didn’t, however. South intended to discourage a dangerous club opening lead against a no»trump game, After North’s delayed raise in dia< monds. South bid three no-trump which he had designed all along, confident of a favorable lead. He counted 28 points. with possible Suit fits in spades or diamonds. West hardly hesitated before Opening the heart three. From the bidding West counted at least eight cards in the minor suits in South's hand. Giving South two spades. this would leave him a three card heart stopper. Assum< ing that South held the A Q 10 x in Clubs and that South counted upon turning two Club tricks, West; dared not give South a “tree finesse" on an opening club lead. West chose what he thought was the favorable “unbld major” and thus the deception was complete. ‘ ‘ WELCOME STUDENTS We Specialize ln All Styles LARRY'S ARBER SHOP LARRY — GARY 932 MAIN Amos; irom Bob Reimsr Clothing * moms POWER! SCARLET AND BLACK Friday, September B. I961 BOWERS’ BOYS GET READY FOR GRID ACTION By JACK GOCHENOUER Thirty-five men have come out for iootball including all but one available lettermen. Coach Edd Bowers said there is a good team attitude as the squad will attempt to bounce back from last year’s poor sea son. injuries, hard luck and a poor aerial attack and defense were the reasons for the 2-6 record. This year the gridders are working on better passing to supplement the strong run- ning attack, Coach Bowers has a heavy backfield with 205 pound fullback Dick Lamb pack- ing the most punch. Lamb was the leading ground gainer in 1965 but was sidelined most of last fall with an injury A blow to the team is the loss of senior hack Jon Buswell who is involved in an oft-cam- pus study project. Last year he was the leading ground gain- er for the Pioneers with 383 yards Back again this year is Rich Weeks who was second in rushing with 355 yards and led the passing statistics with 252 yards. The newcomer most likely to gain a first string spot; is Steve Carroll, a transfer last year who'll be at center or tackle. Other newcomers likely to see considerable action are ends Garry Bork and Bill Wedding and backs Brent Dubach, Doug Fink. and John Pederson. Du- bach is a transfer'and the rest are sophomores. The first home game is a- gainst St. Olaf Sept. 23. St. Olaf is one of the toughest teams in the conference but Bower’s Boys promise to make it an interesting game. Coach Bowers hopes for a good student turn- out for the game and feels that this is a teanl of which the student body can be proud, Norm sasi pas: 2o pan pass pass Opening lead: Heart three ORCHESIS open dance class Sunday.
