The handsare previously made up so that every team plays the same hand during the evening, thus elim-1 inating luck, which is often a deciding! factor, and introducing a real chal- lenge and test of skill to card players, Smith said. n Another factor in the tournament! is the elimination of unequal playing opposition which is called the Double Howell Movement. The teams en-: tered in the contest are moved aftert every two hands, Smith pointed out, and thus no team will.have easier or tougher opponents than the other. The result of this scheme is that! at the end of the tournament every team will have played with every, other team, and will also have played the same hand. 'Rich Man, Poor $4' son.

They found the club deserted and a hole blasted in the roof. An accident, of course. That Japanese bomb had been aimed at a point a mile and a half distant. Say the Misses Fox, daughters of an; American officer stationed in Tient- sin at the time, "A mighty poor shot." Bombs Destroy University Nan Kai University, one of the largest universities in China and situ- ated only a few blocks from the Fox home, was bombed the same day. Strangely enough, these two girls, now juniors at the University, maintain that they felt no fear though they could hear the noise of bombs falling in other parts of the city. The Brit- ish Concession, a two-mile square dis- trict of neutral foreigners, was sup- posedly protected by international law. "One of the most memorable ad- ventures of our stay in China came a few days following the attack," Trenetta Fox said. "Several couples decided to do a little exploring in a railroad station which had been com- pletely demolished. It was rather a gory picture with an occasional leg, still booted, appearing among thet debris, or an arm with clenched fist protruding from a pile of bricks. The sudden appearance of a Japanese soldier, with bayonet lowered, was the1 most startling, however. He permit-t W.A.A.
