Playing the Cards
By ALEXANDER SPENCER
losing
In one of our articles in a
recent issue of the Bridge World
Magazine we stressed the point
that if you double a close contract
you often give declarer just
the information he needs to make
the hand. Further proof of that
fact comes with this hand from
H. W. K. Hale of Montreal.

Thus it ia that sophomores now
will join the freshmen in supervised
physical education. The
freshman year, according to Joseph
B. Makin, associate professor
of physical education, who directs
this phase of the program, will
consist of a graded course, including
the fundamentals of
sports skills. The sophomore year
will be devoted primarily to instruction
and participation in
;eem games.
In his report of intramural
sports last year, Rockafeller revealed
that presently over 50 per
cent of the students get some kind
of supervised physical workouts.
And that doesn't take into consideration
students on inter-colegiate
varsity and freshmen
squads, or who play euch individual
games as golf, tennis and
handball that are carried over
ttg after graduation.
Most popular of the intramural
sports is basketball, followed by
softbail, touch, football, swimming,
track, wrestling and cross country
in that order.
Eleven leagues, composed of 74
teams and 740 players participated
i basketball contests, Rockafeller'fi
report showed. There were
seven leagues, 50 teams and 600
participants in Softball; nine
leagues, 36 teams and «2 participants
in touch football; 19 team
entries and 228 participants in
swimming; 13 teams and 156 contestants
in track; 75 wrestlers,
and 16 team entries with 74 participants
in cross country running.
A total of these players—Z305—
deceptive inasmuch as there
were many duplications. The 70S
students that competed for intercollegiate
athletics also includes
duplications.
However, ea analysis of the
undergraduates participating In
some form of physical exercise
shows well over 50 per cent representation.
Little and Rockafeller believe
they are just beginning to see
tbeir program materialize. They
recognized the value of physical
education particularly during the
war years when tour years of supervised
exercise were required of
all students.
Little sums the program up by j
explaining that "when we give
students the proper physical and
mental balance the result will be
the type of character and personality
that will enrich life within
our democracy."
