Men Can Still Beat Women In Bridge, Expert Claims
New York—(U.P.)—Women have moved into the male world of business and politics, but the men still can beat women at their own game—bridge.
According to John R. Crawford, a friendly young man of 34, about 75 per cent of the country's bridge players are women. Almost all the experts, however, are male players. (Two women, Mrs. Helen Sobel of York and Mrs. Margaret Wagar of Atlanta are listed among the top 10).
A burning desire to win is also essential, he added. Too many women regard a bridge game as a social event.
Mr. Crawford, who is rated the No. 1 player in bridge circles, and is part of the six-man U.S. team competing at the international bridge tournament in Bermuda, never plays bridge with his wife, so his views, he says, are strictly objective.
"It takes a quality of cold-bloodedness, plus the ability to completely concentrate on the subject at hand to be an expert bridge player," he explained. "Few women possess these qualities."
Mr. Crawford, the only professional bridge player t to be listed in the social register, won his first national championship when he was 20. When he married three years later, he and his wife agreed never to play cards together.
"If I played with my wife our friends would feel they could invite us out for dinner and a card game," he said. "I never play cards socially."
In case your score is consistently in the losing column, here are a few suggestions from a man who plays 72 hands a day during the Bermuda tournament.
First, it helps if you're not too fond of your opponents, so you won't hesitate about throwing in a nasty play. It's also it is essential to like your partner.
"I honestly don't think you can win if there is an antagonism between you and your partner," he said.
State of mind helps too. If you're worried about paying the bills, an argument with the wife, or whether the iron was turned off, don't play for high stakes.
French Motor-Bike May Appear In US
New York—(U.P)—A motor-bicycle capable of going 235 miles on one gallon of fuel may make its appearance on the American market soon.
Felix Goudard, president of a French manufacturing firm, arrived aboard the liner Liberte on his way to Kansas City, Mo., and other Middle Western cities where he will demonstrate the motor-bike.
Mr. Goudard said about 150,000 of his machines were in use in Europe. They emphasize safety rather than high speed, traveling about 18 miles an hour on a half horsepower motor, he said.
Man Wins Derby—Too Bad
Great Falls, Mont. (U.P.)-Herbert Suck's victory smile has faded. He won the first place in a "diaper derby" with the fast time of five seconds. His wife was in the audience. "From now on he'll get more practice," his wife said, "now that I see he knows how."
Want Better Coke Parties
Improvement of their get-acquainted Coke parties with Junior Pan-Hellenic will be the main project of Junior Inter-Dorm, members decided Tuesday. They suggested that the parties be held less often and on different days of the week so more women could attend.

The upperclass council also suggested that freshmen refer their study hall problems to the executive boards in their houses.
Members discussed a suggestion that the next meeting be a tour through the freshman dormitory, perhaps with Junior Pan-Hellenic.

Sasnak Told About Physical Education
Merle Henre, director of health, physical education, and safety in the Kansas City, Kan., public schools, told Sasakm members Tuesday about the problems of physical education and the methods used in solving them. He spoke at the annual banquet of the group.
To be successful in physical education, Mr. Henre said, students should learn to be enthusiastic about their work, and be prepared to do a great amount of work.
Man Adds Insult To Injury
Helena, Mont.—(U.P.) A transient who passed through here must have decided bedding is the important thing. A man can always find a bed. He stayed at a downtown hotel and left the next morning without paying his bill but taking the bedspread, sheets, pillows and blankets.
