Against 3 no-trump West leads
the 8 of spades and East plays the
Queen. Declarer makes the standard
holdup play, allowing the Queen to
hold. West continues a spade,
South's Jack going to West's Ace.
When West leads the third spade,
East discards the Ace of hearts. De-
clarer cannot keep West from get-
ting the lead with the Jack of
hearts, and running his good spades.
Shirley Motter and Bob Suther-
land came in first North-South last
Friday, while Pat Kemp and Dr.
Brown were the East-West winners.
Naelie Turrentine and Harry
Clampett were second East-West,
followed by Lola Owings and Fran-
ces Dial. Mr .and Mrs. Shirley were
the North-South runners-up, fol-
lowed by the team of Serrafino and
Cash.
Because of the Slime Parade this
Friday, the Rice Bridge Club will
not meet. The next tournament will
be held Friday, October 24. It will
be Master Point night, that is, the
winners will receive one full master
point instead of the usual award of
two or thi-ee tenths of a point.
These "master points" are part of
the system set up by the American
Contract Bridge League to rate
bridge players all over the country.
To become a Junior Master, a play-
er needs one master point. After
passing this milestone, the player's
next goal is to get a total of twenty,
ir. order to become a Master. The
highest classification of all is Life
Master, which requires 300 master
points. There are four Life Masters
here in Houston—Johnny Gerber,
Hob Sharp, Bob Barrett, and John-
ny Moran.
Here's hoping you'll start picking
up those master points and get on
your way to becoming a Life Mas-
tor.

Owlets Kmekle To Vikings At
Corpus; Girst Plays Thor
The Rice Owlets dropped a hard fought 29-26 decision to
the Del Mar JC Vikings in Corpus Christi last Saturday night.
George Garst's 10-yard field goal with one and a half minutes
left to play was the deciding factor.
Rice had surged to a 26-14 halftime advantage led chiefly
by 205-pound fullback Jerry
Hall of Palestine, and halfback
Bobby Graham of LaMarque
who scooted 80 yards for a TD, with
a Del Mar kickoff. Hall got touch-
downs on runs of 17 and five yards
and gathered in one of John "Pinky"
Nisbet's passes for the third. The
Owlets play as a whole was very
sharp, showing several good line-
men as well as backs. Center Don
Wilson, Tackle Eddy Rayburn, and
guard Tom Siragusa were particu-
larly outstanding in the forward
wall.
Del Mar opened the game by driv-
ing 80 yards to score, with Bobby
Baldwin plunging over from the
one. Quarterback Charles Dollar
counted once, and halfback Dugan
Thornton scored twice, once on a 56
yard trap play through left guard.
The Owlets play their next game
here Friday,night when they meet
the SMU Colts. The Colts have a
good team as usual (they beat last
year's Owlets 26-7) and will be try-
ing to keep an unbeaten record.

Chill of Waiting
Felt By Frosh
Awaiting Lit Bids
By GERALDINE LEWIS
' Silence still reigns as all the
freshmen girls look back over the
past four weeks of parties, dates,
studies, and tests and wonder if it
has been worth the effort. Of course
each freshman has had a wonderful
time. Every girl has enjoyed every
minute, but the hushed voices of
upper classmen moving in secretive
groups and acting so mysteriously
wise scare all the freshmen girls
into strained silence.
The bids to the literary societies
are already in the mail and waiting
for each freshman. Everyone would
like to ask questions, but no one
dares to open her mouth.
Meanwhile the upper classmen
move about in twos and threes won-
dering who will accept their bids
and just waiting for the climax at
6 o'clock when the freshmen will be-
gin to call the lits to accept the bids:
Silence is then broken, and the lit
members pick up the new pledges
and take them to the calling-in par-
ty which marks the end of rush for
another year.

and Accessory Organs not Adversely
Affected by Smoking Chesterfields
FIRST SUCH REPORT EVER PUBLISHED

A responsible consulting organization has
reported the results of a continuing study by a
competent medical specialist and his staff on the
effects of smoking Chesterfield cigarettes.
A group of people from various walks of life
was organized to smoke only Chesterfields. For six
months this group of men and women smoked their
normal amount of Chesterfields — 10 to 40 a day.
45% of the group have smoked Chesterfields con-
tinually from one to thirty years for an average of
10 years each.
At the beginning and at the end of the six-
months period each smoker was given a thorough
examination, including X-ray pictures, by the
medical specialist and his assistants. The exam-
ination covered the sinuses as well as the nose,
ears and throat. * N
The medical specialist, after a thorough exam-
ination of every member of the group* stated:
"It is my opinion that the ears, nose, throat and
accessory organs of all participating subjects ex-
amined by me were not adversely affected in the
six-months period by smoking the cigarettes
provided."
