I also said the Smith preps beat the Clark preps while, in truth, they never made it past mid- field which can hardly be construed as dominating play. in any case, I find this insignificant as my journalistic motto Is, “It matters not whether you tell the truth, but whether what you say makes good reading.” In the future 1 will try to be slightly more accurate but don't go betting the family jewels on the au- thenticity of my statements Having looked at the I. M. football schedule [or this year, I notice that the games will be played just a hop, step, and jump from the center of the campus. All games, that is, With the ex- ertion of those played on Stable Field which is a hop, step, and amp, . . . and hop, . . . and leap, . r . and two giant steps, . . . and eleven scissor steps, . . . and four hundred and sixteen strides, . . The reason for this is that Mac Field is going to be turned into an aboretum or something and therefore we must not tread on it, This is about as sensible as putting up Keep on the Grass signs in a national park I wouldn’t go so far as to say Stable told is out of the way, but at the last game, four aborigines tried eat our footballr As a famous English poet once said (or was he l'ench?), “We’d gladly give up girls and meals /lr you'd give us ack our football fields.” or was he Persian?

September [5, WAT TiiE lilo ITZER By JOHN RA: The change of suit preference signal is a useful deiensive sig- nal which may give partner the key to the defense of the con- tract It is used when one is free to lead one of several cards in a holding and one wishes to direct partner to lead one of two questionable suits. In the following hand, after the six of spades opening lead, the queen was played from dummy, which was taken by = East's ace, as Declarer dropped ff,” prff" 332°“ the seven. Not fooled by De- 4H p,“ p,“ clarer's raisecard, East re- Opening ind, xpads six turned the jack of spades which West ruffed, West realized that East was free to lead any card in his spade holding and that the lead of the jack might be a change of suit preference signal. Of the two suits other than trump (in this case, diamonds and clubs), at high card signals partner to lead the higher ranking of the two suits, while a low card signals the lead of the lower ranking suit. East returned a diamond, the higher ranking suit hoping that he found an entry to East’s hand. East cashed the ace and returned a spade to defeat the contract of course, before this convention is used it must be agreed tips on by the partnership. The signal has wide application in no—trump as well as trump contracts, and again is based upon two condi- tions: one must be able to lead any card in one’s holding and the card must be recognized as such; and there can be only two suits to be distinguished, a high card signaling the higher ranking suit, a low card signaling the lower ranking suitl $0619 ”a .. .. 09;! dose npzy new 7 o a K 0 Ens! pan pa" Photo by Don Hacker i WANT you . . . for Orchesis.
