Coffee House ' LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS Was Origin Of Bridge By Bonnie Bowen Now popular as a noon time activity at the Univer sity, bridge had its origin at a coffee house in London. The game was originally known as "whist", or "whisk." In approximately 1680, a variation called "Swabbers" came into ex istence, b u t disappeared nearly as quickly, when deuces were restored to the deck of cards. A set of gentlemen who met at the Crown Coffee House in Bedford Row, Lon don, then laid down the principles of the game. In 1767 Ben Franklin went to Paris, and it is generally believed that he introduced the American variety of the game known as Boston. Whist was so popular In Italy in 1790. that the boxes at the opera in Florence were provided with card tables. In a series of articles be gun Feb. 23, 1896, the New York Sunday Sun intriduced the first systematic state ment of the theory and practice of the short suit game. Although bridge, as de rived from whisk, over shadows its mother in popu: larity in the United States and on campus, the British still hold to the original whist.
