"I know from Michigan's re- putation that it had a good aca- demic background - that was a big 'factor." Now a radio and television major, Wilmore val- ues his college education, a n d states assuredly that he "would not drop out of college if offer- ed the opportunity to play; pro- fessionally." But, he would, naturally, like to make it to the pros some day. "Everybody likes to better him- self and if the chance came along I'd take it." But his na- tural tendency to underestimate himself forces him to add, "I don't know if I could make it." For the time being, though, Wilmore is interested in play- ing good basketball for Michi- gan. He succinctly evaluates the Big Ten as "hard," and, is es- pecially unwilling to predict his own success in league com- petition. His 44 point performance in the Big Ten opener is Wilmore's career high, for the moment, and lifted his season average up to 24 points per game. That effort, too, he shrugs off as, "lucky." Although he stands only 6-31/2 Wilmore also does a very effec- tive job rebounding, having gar- nered 8.4 per game to rank second on the team. There has been some incon- sistency in Wilmore's perform- ance with the varsity - in two outings he has been held to less than 10 points, and he has foul- ed out of four games. Wilmore attributes these problems to in- experience, and says in the good spirit of a team player that his substitutes have played as well as him. m~ore's main concern and he is careful not to say anything which stresses his own import- ance over that of - the team as a whole. That kind of attitude combined with his natural abil- ities makes Wilmore into a win- ner and should help to make Michigan a winning team. -Daly-Mort Noveck Wilmore (25) goes up for two " KIRK ON BRIDGE 4 Double, double -toil in trouble By LEE KIRK When your opponents get a lit- tle over-zealous in their bidding, there is always the temptation to double and set the pants off them. Sometimes, though, the double serves no other purpose than giv- ing the plot away before the hand has begun to unfold. The crass double often guides your foe to the winning line of play when a more mundane ap- proach would leave him a trick or two short. West's double in to-' day's hand was one of those that should have helped declarer, but he went astray on a difficult hand, deluded by a'gift horse that turn- ed out to have no teeth.' Why West chose a spade is un-' known, as it is obvious that South has the ace of spades. A diamond return might have lured declarer into an immediate finesse, and East would have won and !return- ed a club to set up the heart ten for the eventual setting trick. The spade return turned out to be equally effective, as it present- ed declarer with'the gift horse of a free finesse. He let the spade ride around to his ten and led a small heart to dummy's queen. Declarer then cashed dummy's ace of clubs, discarding a dia- mond from his own hand. West trumped in with the ten, and East later got his diamond k i n g to score the setting trick. West's double should have. alerted declarer to the possibility that the club eight was singleton. If so. South should be sure he doesn't get stuck in dummy with noway back to his hand. Thus, after taking the spade ten and the heart queen, he should ieturn to his hand to draw out West's last trump. The safest way back is to overtake the spade king with the ace! He then draws the last trump with, the jack and leads a small diamond to the ace. He must not finesse, for East will then win and lead a spade to his partner's queen for the setting trick. Declarer should then cash the club ace, throwing his last spade, and lead the diamond queen. East can have his diamond king when he pleases, but North-South will have their doubled game. Even this line of play isn't fool- proof. If East has the spade queen and brilliantly plays it on West's initial spade lead, declarer will later be stuck in dummy. He can try to cash the club ace, or he can give up the diamond king, but either way, West gets the heart ten and the contract is lost. The best line of play is for South to take the spade king im- mediately, cash the heart queen, return to his hand with the spade ace, draw the last trump, lead to the diamond ace, sluff the last spade on the club ace, and then give up the diamond.
