WITH DALE BALL
The subject in this hand is sac
rifice bidding. In making up the
hands, for the Duplicate Bridge
Tourney given by the Student
Union last month, I wanted a hand
that would give one of the teams
a chance to make a sacrifice bid,
and this is the hand that I devised

There is a possibility that this
week's discussion will not be of
interest to all of the readers be
cause I am going to talk about
this hand in relation to duplicate
bridge. I'm hoping that this may
cause some of you to become more
interested in duplicate and that
more of you will enter the next
duplicate tourney at the Student
Union on tomorrow afternoon.
I would like to see the bidding
go something like this.

By the bidding, all of the per
sons at the table should know that
E W have a good 4 heart bid.
North seeing his partner bid 2
spades with no support from him
can anticipate about 6, to 7 tricks
in his partner's hand, and with his
own two tricks, can see at least 8
tricks in the whole hand for their
partnership. By a little mental
arithmetic North also knows that
if E W make 4 hearts, vulnerable,
they will receive 620 points while
if he (North) bids 4 spades and
goes down two tricks doubled and
vulnerable the opponents will only
receive 500 points. This saving of
120 points makes this a good sac
rifice bid at duplicate.
" The team of Bob McDowell and
Jim Kuntzelman was the only
team to make a good sacrifice bid
on this hand and they were fortu
nate enough to have been left at
tha 3 level. Fully half of the teams
playing N S allowed their oppon
ents to bid and make 4 hearts.

In Current Theatre Play
When the curtain rises on the
first performance of the Univers
ity Theatre's "Playboy of the
vvinrn WnrlH." next Wednes
day, the scenery, as usual, will
probably be taken lor granted
by the audience.
Few play-goers realize the
time and effort spent in the
phases of constructing an effec
tive stage set. However, after a
talk with Walter Davis, set
designer for "Playboy of the
Western World," these processes
are more easily understood.
Davis, an Arts and Science
junior from Kearney, has had
university Thespian activities
have included being stage mana
ger for the opera, "Carmen," and
acting roles in "Angle Street"
and "Macbeth." He also has
helped with the staging end in
several of this year's University
Theatre productions.
As Davis nlans to enter the
television staging game, set-de
signing is his main line, ine seis
for "Playboy of the Western
World" are entirely his creations.
The evolution of a stage set
according to Davis includes many
forms of construction, including
carpentry, painting, and the
primary phases ol sketching ana
plan-drafting.
For "Playboy of the Western
World," sets he first read the
play twice, once for an idea of
the plot, and again for an under
standing of the action. Then,
through research, he made notes
of the original Broadway pro
duction. After the final drawings of the
set were completed, the construc
tion crew, after many hours of
carpentry work and decorating,
set up the scenery in the Temple
theatre work-shop, where all
scenery is made. Needed correc
tions were then made and the set
was again disassembled and
to the theatre stage.. The entire
process took two weeks.
The backstage managerial
staff for "Playboy of the Western
World" is as follows: makeup,
Gay Marr; lights, Dewey Gan
sel and Homer Hauptman;
costumes, Gladys Jackson; stage
property, Mary Cottingham; hand
property, Polly Ann Rickley;
stage crew, Bill Reuter; construc
tion, Kenneth Frohardt and Jack
Bloom.
Paraplegic patients in four Vet
erans Administration hospitals
took part in a telegraphic arch
ery tournament conducted by the
Paralyzed Veterans Association of
America in co-operation with VA
Special Services. Participants
were, required to shoot either
from their wheel chairs or from
a prone position.
Patients in the VA hospital in
Hines, 111., won the tourney.
