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.

production which caught on
so well that it "took Broad
way by storm" and had to
be moved to a "main stem"
theatre.
Critics reason that Shaw's
comic criticism of manners
and morals was too barbed
for general consumption dur
ing the original showings in
1910.
"The Trojan Women,"
which will be staged by Dr.
Howard Martin, director of
radio and television, is a new
version written by David
Madden, graduate student in
Yale School of Drama.
Madden's first recognition
as a playwright came in 1950
when he was a high school
student in a suburb of Knox
ville, Tenn.
His one-act play, "Call
Herman in to Supper," won
a state-wide playwriting con

University daily newspaper,
"The Collegian," saying
"Please don't fake away

enthusiasm during home
coming!" ,
It also has been revealed

Council at Oklahoma Univer
sity has voted to abolish

decorations. The reasons of
time and money were appar
ently the deciding factors in
this case.
