A Fourth for Bridge? Familiar Words at KU
By JANE PECINOVSKY
"Fourth for bridge?"
This question can be heard throughout dormitories and sorority houses at almost any time of the day or night as girls run up and down the halls looking for bridge partners.
Many Americans consider bridge to be the most popular card game, and KU coeds are no different. They remember their mothers' bridge parties, and how they sat quietly on the arm of a chair, intently watching the women make their bids or go set. The days of wonderment are now over, for once girls come to college, they learn how to play the complicated game.
College bridge is different, however. Very few girls know how to keep score, and even if they do, the bothersome task is usually forgotten. "A-club bid," and a weak no-trump are frequent, and pokerface card players are never in evidence. Talk across the table is common, and of course the "bridge fiends" always compare their cards after all four have passed and the hand has been "thrown in."
Bridge time is anytime and anywhere. Before and after lunch; before and after dinner, particularly on Sunday; at closing hours, and into the early morning, the enthusiasts are found at card tables in the lounges, living rooms, and on the floor of the girls' rooms. They even sit in the halls concentrating on who is holding that last trump.
The game is fascinating, stimulating, and even relaxing. It provides a means of forgetting the troubles and worries of campus life, and is an excellent way to relieve a tired mind during a study break. Bridge can also make enemies

among the players, especially when one plays a trump on a trick her partner has already taken.
Most girls come to college for an education in a specialized field—at least, that is the reason they give. Although they may not absorb a great deal of book knowledge in their years on Mt. Oread, it is a safe bet almost all will learn to play bridge.
If, by chance, there are some who have never played a hand of bridge, they become a slave to spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs—it's great fun!
