KU Student, Partner Win Bridge Tourney
"No thanks, I don't care to play bridge for a while."
This was the emphatic reaction of Brian Grace, Lawrence first year law student, after playing 446 hands of bridge in nine days.
Grace and his partner, Mike Harlow from Kansas City, won a national championship in the men's pairs non-life master division at the national tournament of the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) in Dallas. Tex., last week.
A life master is one who has accumulated 300 master bridge points including 50 red points. Red points are won at either regional or national tournaments of the league.
They won one of eight national championship events from 150 other pairs entered.
Grace and Harlow were the youngest pair ever to win a national championship event. As a result of the tournament, Grace has now accumulated 290 points toward a lifemaster.
It was a duplicate bridge tournament as opposed to the normal "rubber bridge" played by most college students. Cards are not shuffled after each hand in duplicate bridge.
The pairs play the same hands as their corresponding pairs at other tables. Score points are awarded after a comparison with points won by all others playing the same hands.
"This takes all the luck out of what is called 'rubber' bridge," Grace said. "Theoretically, it is a game of skill. Of course it doesn't always turn out that way."
An average session at the tournament lasts about four and a half hours. They played about nine hours a day.
Three national tournaments are staged annually in the fall, spring, and summer by the ACBL. Now there are about 275,000 members of the league.
"It has been growing at a rate of about 5,000 a month in the last five years." Grace said.

KU Initiates Practical Sculpture Course
Sculpturers may sculpture primarily for art's sake, but they like to be practical about it too.
This is why KU has initiated a pilot course in professional procedures of sculpture.
The six-seminar course offers practical advice on such topics as contracts, commissions, costs of materials, construction and transportation of sculpture, and tricks of photographing sculpture in depth.
"Sculpture is a profession, and there is a need to treat it as such." Elden Teft, professor of design and one of the instructors, said.
of appreciation," Prof. Tefft explained. If the pilot course proves as beneficial as early enthusiasm indicates, the course will be expanded and continued next semester.
Professor Tefft is being aided by Bernard (Poco) Frazier, professor of architecture and sculpture in residence, who has had numerous commissions in Kansas.
"This more materialistic approach will never destroy the creative drive of the sculpturer; it will simply advise him on the means of his market
