Scarlet 8r Black, Friday. December 8, I967 — Page 2 GRAY MATTER By BILL GRAY AS everyone must know by now, South emerged victorious in the volleyball wars by deieating North and Rawson in what was a rather close race. The Victory was the first in recent years for South in sports or major importance. Their best previous finish was second in The Civil War but, of course, Tommy Gillespie didn’t play tor them in that one. Wednesday marked the opening and closing of the T, M. bad- minton tournament. Last. year’s champion, Phil (Barrel-Bod) Woodward, returned to defend his championship against the one slailghl of other profiment birdie batterers. I was asked to be in attendance when they threw out the first bird but it was finally decided I would be too heavy for the racquets so I was excused from participation. The iinal week or college bowling rolls around with only three points separating the top three teams. Six games will be bowled today to determine team and individual standings. Rick Wickstrom had a 599 to take over the high series and the team captained by Dave Noith staged a late season rally to take over first. After being threatened by physical Violence and mental har» rassment, I have deemed it advisable to retract my statement of last Week which referred to Bruce Rollins as an oak tree that jumps like a pogo stick. I personally thought it was a great com- pliment but, if it is not appreciated, so be it. Let me say instead that he is a ti - and blood human being with reelings and emoa lions and sensitivities and desires and muscles and tendons and ligaments and toes and arms. In other word, he is just like the rest of us; only more so. since this is the last issue of the semester, i would like to thank my vast reading audience tor the tremendous support they have given me during the trying times through which I have stmggled. It’s not easy to stay at home and write when I could be out obstructing traffic. or breaking laws, or going to the Pizza Pub, or going into a drilgrinduced trance, or attacking townies. Without your loyal support, I would not have resisted temptation. But I did, thanks to you, Mother. Now may I have enough money for bus Tare home? Now . . .

Attired in a yellowmgrwhite 2 piece outiit, Coach Gene came in a notrtooeclose second. The iinal score was 114, Cindy’s favor. _ Cindy (”wuiv, she plays bad- minton, too") Root quickly had the support of the audience be- hind her. !n a perky white tennis dress, Cindy’s motions were quick and frisky. Before and alter the bad- minton game, a few highlights or the evening’s entertainment were provided by the Grinnell- C u l v e r Stockton basketball game. With a iinal score or 92-86, Grinliell did it again; LOST, The time reading on the scoreboard at the game‘s close was the immortal “00:00 ” Starting with a horn similar to the ”Charge” bugle call in the Houston Asti'odnme, the fighters take their sides. No. 24, Mike Schwartz, is first to touch the ball. Treasure the moment. After passing it about a while, it was promptly returned to him, because he had it first, and he made the first red (Grinnell) basket. The first foul was called on 41, Tony Robert- son, ot the opposition. (Yay, Pilgrims—er, Pioneers!) In spite of calls of “foul" play, though, the game was played pretty iairly. The two teams even traded sides every time one had a chance to excel. Next, the oppositions Wayne Puckett made a basket, and then Grinnell’s Terry Holloway, you see, they took turns like that. Terry Holloway later made a drop shot, that was. according to an audience member behind me, “beautiful." Schwartz then decided to get the ball out oi the way, so he hit it to the blue. whereupon their Tony Robertson promptly made a basket. Schwartz de- serves at least some of the credit for his teamwork in mak ing the ball go through. If you like long-shots, Schwartz provided a couple. He also provided Culver with a iew touishots by hitting the ball out or the guy’s hand while shoot- ing, so these pretty much can- celled each other out. Thor Evenson provided a very pretty shot when he, in juxtapos- ing himself so as not to go Out of bounds with the ball, swayed a little, and then hit the ball in backwards for a basket. Ev- enson was virtually under, it not behind the basket, but it Went in. A foul was called on Hollo- way when he bounced the ball on his foot. Now why would he want to do that? Evenson later put in a good! Headquarters For: ILousEs - sKIRrs SWEATERS . DRESSES 9 GRlNNELL NEWTON Fashions designed and sewed for you — Span Clothes. Formals, Sport Clothes.

Whell the red ball was later swiped by blue—he took it out of Ted's hands, the cry rose up from the red sidelines, “what to ya hafta do, draw blood, Ref?” From the benefit of my knowl- ege concerning those clever reieree signals. I shall pass onto the dear reader a couple. Ral- ling one’s hands around each other repeatedly, as it ravel- ling yarn, means "travelling,” and when the relerree starts waving both hands at you, it's just his way of saying “Hi.”- Later the relerree made a chopping motion at his arm with his right hand, that looked like something vulgar. By the groans when he did, it, I think it was. . . The last two baskets were made by Grinnell’s Roger Able in an eiiecttve overehand shot, and the Pioneers forged ahead to defeat, :wizxu‘ebmtskslsvawetawele stewed TWO APPOINTED TO COURT Sophomores Larry Frank and Jim Lew have been appointed to the Judicial Council for one year terms.

TIiE iiIDITZED By JOHN iiAz The inability oi the beginning bridge player to successlully convey to or solicit irom his partner the illegal intormation so necessary to his game, can only be regarded within the context or his more general inability to perlorm the simplest of decisions ot- tered by the more elementary problems oi the game. Both are characterized by a certain impetuosity which is given to his libidinous drives rather than his more rational facul- ties (SIC). It is the former inability that this iinal column will serve to redress. First. strategy must be contemplated. If you want your part- ner to take a particular action and it the communication of that action is illegal and thereiore gaining ior your side an uniair ad- vantage (cheating) it is best that you not tell him directly. tor the opponents may overhear, and if they do mind, surprise on you, there are penalties ior your behavior. The correct strategy, then. is to be discreet — give your part- ner subtle hints, interences which he will hardly be able to ignore and which will guide him into the proper action. For example, consider all the possible bids available to you at a given bid. If you are discreet. these should include the hesi— tating pass, the hopeless pass, the disgusted pass. the lightning pass. the vacillating declaration, the firm declaration, the bounce up and down and smile at the opponents declaration, the “John, come look at this hand declaration," the I think I’ll double. the hairpin trigger double. the I’ll iix you double. the ominous re- double, the I'll get back at you redouble and the daggers irom the eyes rescue bid. Think of the possibilities ior creative expression. Or if you want your partner to lead a particular suit just as he is pulling out the wrong card to lead, drop your hand on the floor and Say (as you pick up the cards), “don't wait for me,_ I'm playing small." If he doesn’t get the message pull a card out or your hand and stare at the dummy until someone at the table is so rude as to interrupt your deep concentration. Undauntedly think, one, two, and say “Oh, what’s the lead?” replace the card, play to the trick and go back to staring. if he still doesn’t get the message take a card, preterably a low one and insert it under the me vioiisly played cards. When declarer or partner picks up the trick ask to see it again and carefully remove a prearranged speck of dirt irom your card. or course these examples although uselul are only particua lars, and a general case. a catch-all method, is needed to come bat all of the possible conditions under which an inierence is needed. To this problem, I have iound a simple solution in which the beginning player need perform only a simple operation. Next to the “WE-THEY" column construct a crude scaiiold as in the diagram. Whenever your partner makes or attempts to make an incorrect bid or play. Raise the pencil in your hand. If he is per. sistent, each time he makes an error add a limb to the stick man. Although this iigure is usually used in a different context, it is appropriately named “Hang the Butcher,” Think oi the possibili- ties for creative expression. Think of two beginners with separate scoring pads.
