Bridge Expert Puts More Pep Into Contract
Lynn, Mass., (UP)-Drive Contract—a spectacular new bridge game for the nation's estimated 20-000,000 players—has been devolved by J. Frank Healey, an Americanization counselor who would rather play cards than eat.
The game is a modified form of progressive contract bridge with a "minor slam bonus" for a five-bid in a minor suit.
Healey, a slight, nervous teacher-player for 13 years, currently is writing a book in which he plans to develop the idea of "minor slams."
For four years he has been experimenting with the "equal suit" idea whereby all suits except no trump have the same value. His record of experiments and averages tend to show that the "equal suit" game would detract from the delicate bidding situations that arise on minor suit hands.
"The minor slam," Healey says, "is for the purpose of counter balancing the unlogical awarding of the game at 10 tricks for spades and hearts and 11 tricks at diamonds and clubs. By awarding a minor slam bonus to the two minor suits, a variety of bidding levels are retained at which game may be reached."
Under Healey's plan, a bidder might feel it well worth the risk to stretch a three no-trump game bid into five diamonds or clubs. If the minor suit bid was successful the reward would be substantial.
Healey describes "drive contract" as a shorter method of conducting tournaments.
"In drive contract," he says, there is only one set of scoring. No rubbers are played and each hand is an individual contest. Partial scores cannot be carried over from one hand to another and game must be bid and made on one hand in order to score the game bonus. The regular contract scoring is used with the following exceptions:
1. All hands are bid, played and scored as though both sides always were vulnerable.
2. Game bid and made on one hand scores a 500 point bonus.
3. Any successful less-than-game contract scores a 100 point bonus.
4. A minor slam bonus of 350 points is scored for fulfilling a contract for five diamonds or five clubs.
5. These bonuses are in addition to trick and honor scores.

Cranes Were Gluttons And Paid With Lives
North Bend, Ore.—(UP)—Vern C. Gorst was puzzled at the death of two large blue cranes he found in his back yard, but a post-mortem solved the mystery.
The cranes, abnormally overweight and their stomachs bulging, had devoured nearly 5,000 small trout from Gorst's fish pond.
