GRAY There is something innately unfair about forcing athletes of he genre to play athletes who are schooled in another sport. There r5 also something innately llnfair about making girls play boys in a game which is built around speed. Be that as it may, one can hardly say that the two handicaps balance out, besides, any one with any sense knows better than to bet against the girls‘ tield hockey team. The game of field hockey is played on a large red tangular field with goals at either end. One wouldn't have known this, though, if the first game watched turned out to be the cone test between the girls and the boys' soccer team because the pre- dominance of action was centered around the beleaguered goal of the woefully outmanned (outgirled?) soccer team, The only thing I can say to the girls is to repeat the traditional cry of the over< ,whelmed opposition: “Pick on somebody your own size (shape?)." It has six starters over 6'3", it has three starters that weigh over 220 pounds. Who is it? Why, it is the Langan football team that brought glory to its hall by winning a football game this year. It is also the team that has violated the Cardinal rule of l. M.'s by forfeiting two of its games. While we must appreciate their con- oern that they might get hurt (i’), we must deplore their lack of competitive spirit which is the heart of l. M. sports. The l. M. season is now almost over and the championship has boiled clown to a battle between Dibble and Smith. This Showdown will occur Sunday at 3:00 on the Soccer Field with the annual none: Bowl. THE WILL TO WIN . . . ' Grinnell lost its third football ame of the season, 47-7, at tho ands of the Ripon Redmen. The Pioneers on the field and in the stands are undoubtedly upset by the results of the first three Grimiell contests. But let’s remember that Grin— nell faced, in its first three games, the three toughest teams in the Midwest Conference. Tn- morrow’s game pits the Plo- neers against Knox, also look- ing for its first win. “The team that most wants to win probably The Grinneil Hockey Club will hold its first meeting Monday, October 16, at 1:15 p.m. in me southwest room of Darby Gymnasium. Both students and faculty interest- ed in playing hockey during the coming season are urged to attend. All orders for equipment (Le. hockey sticks, shin guards, etc.) will be taken at this time. In addi- tion, uniionns, transportation, and a schedule of games will be discussed. Any questions contact Mike Schaffer, Ext. 451 or 550. will," said Coach Edd Bowers. The Pioneers want to win, Let’s fill the stands and let the team know we want to win, too.

HARRIERS OllT AGAIN Gl'inncll's cross country team will be trying to bounce back from a disappointing perform- ance at its own Les Duke In. Vitational when it hosts Knox ill a Midwest Conference dual Saturday. The Pioneers finished eighth in the 13-team field at the ln- yitational last Saturday, and had only one runner place among the top in individual finishers. Doug Dray was 18th. The Pioneers also lost to Carleton 16-46, and the Univer- sity of Chicago, 27-23, in dual meets tabulated from the in‘ dividual placing in the invita< tional. They were losses num- ber four and five against one Wm. “Despite our disappointing record, we are making steady progress." said Coach Ray Oben'niller. “But, we haven‘t been able to come up with a really outstanding team effort yet. In every meet. one or two boys have performed below par, and this has cost us at least two victories. Hopefully, we are saving that one out‘ standing team perfonnance for the conference meet."

If you do the odds are stacked against you. Take for example the following hypotheti- cal situation: you are dealer and you deal yourself a hand without looking at it. What are the. odds for getting a good hand? One hand in four will be good enough for an opening bid (thir. teen or more high card points). Of the other three, two hands wrli fall between seven and twelve points, and the remaining hand in four will have six or less points. of your opening hands, only three iii eight will have sixteen or more points; which is about one hand out of every ten that you get. it you play Goren (strong) two—bids, only one hand in one hundred and twenty-five will have the necessary twenty-one or more high card points necessary to open that bid. Well then, you play bridge to get distributional hands. Under those circumstances you’re just about as bad off. one hand in three. you Won’t have a five-card suit. Thirteen hands ill twenty Won't have a singleton or void, where only one hand in twenty-five will have a void. ‘i‘llree hands out of eight will have a two biddable suits; and only one hand in seven Will have ten or more cards in two suits. One hand in mirty»three will have at least a seven card suit. But all these odds are based upon it perieetly random deal which. of course, you say. is impossible. That’s true, but a deck is inclined to run “stale" or “cold" rather than “warm”. The manner in which cards are played in tricks, placed together and “insufficiently shuffled" inhibits the possibility of random deals. To solve that situation, you can try playing a couple hands of soll< taire, or dealing “goulash,” Le. dealing five to each player, five again and then three. Generally speaking, though, the bridge player is condemned to eat his staple of average hands, which brings up a good point. Contract bridge is a game of mileage, The better you do with the cards you get, the more miles to the gallon in your game. Every bridge player over the long run will get about ten points per hand, but some bridge players will score more points. ———~___ THE PHANTASTIO izza uh Promises to put you in the proper irama of mind of- fer a hard day with ihe books.
