Hockey Scorers Are Led. by an American Montreal, Que., Dec. 27.—()}—For the first time this season, a player from the American section has gained undisputed possession of the scoring jlead in the National Hockey League. Bill Cook, veteran wing of the New York Rangers, Tuesday was setting the pace for the entire field in games up to and including those of Sunday. He had notched nine goals and as many assists for a total of 18 points. A point behild was Laurence (Baldy) Northcott of the Montreal Maroons. Third place belonged jointly to Paul Haynes of the Maroons and Marty Barry of Boston. Northcott, Barry and Bun Cook of the Rangers had scored the most goals, 12 each, and Frank Boucher of the Rangers the most assists, 12. Red Horner of Toronto had taken over the “bad man” title, with 49 minutes in the penalty box. Ching Johnson of the Rangers was close bhind with 48. |Nominate Chicagoan For Net Presidency New York, Dec. 27.—(#)—The mono- poly the east has enjoyed for a de- cade on the presidency of the U. 8. cago.

By Williams | FAILED TO PRESENT ORDINARY PROBLEMS New Slate of Gridiron Rules Ap- parently Satisfactory to Chieftains SEEK SUCCESSOR TO HALL Langford, Okeson and Stagg Most Prominently Mention- ed For Chairman New York, Dec. 27.—(®)—College athletic heads and coaches, here for the annual meetings of the National Collegiate A. A. and related organ- izations, already have set one new record although their first formal ses- sion was not slated until Tuesday. In the opinion of veteran observers, & new all-time low in the matter of “viewers-with-alarm” seemed assured convention programs were conspicuous for their singular lack of subjects likely to provide controversial discus- sion. As in the past, football was the chief item of college sport listed for exhaustive examination. But even here there seemed to be no outstand- ing problems, certainly none so seri- ous as last year when a death toll of 50 forced a revision of the rules in the interest of safety. Despite the fact the 1932 campaign brought with it 43 deaths attributed, directly or indirectly, to football, the new rules, it is generally agreed, have made the game safer for the players. So satisfactorily has the code worked, in fact, that few, if any, changes are contemplated for the 1933 season. Some argument may develop over the “dead ball” rule which makes the ball “dead” when any part of the car- tier’s body except his hands or feet touches the ground, but even this pro- vision seems to have the backing of matority opinion. The most important single item of the business on the N. C. A. A. pro- gram is selection of a new chairman of the football rules committee to succeed the late E. K. Hall. Most prominently mentioned in connection with the post have been William 8. Langford, secretary of the committee for a quarter-century; Walter Okeson commissioner of eastern officials; and Amos Alonzo Stagg, retiring head coach at Chicago. Preceding the N. C. A. A. sessions |Thursday, Friday will be the meeting of the American Football Coaches’ as- sociation Tuesday and Wednesday. ‘The coaches probably will discuss the rules but there is considerable doubt whether any recommendations for changes will be made.

Dan McGugin, Vanderbilt coach, was expected to succeeed Mal Stevens, re- tiring Yale coach, as president. THE. BISMARCK TRIBUNE. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1982 nd Johnny Frederick Best Sluggers EVEN FOOTBALL HAS |Statistics In Their Record Against Passes Has Been Much Better Than That of Panthers Los Angeles, Dec. 27.—()—Grid fans who saw Southern California's 47-to-14 victory over Pittsburgh three years ago delved into the compara- tive statistics Tuesday, wondering if the impending Rose Tournament game at Pasadena Jan. 2 would not be another case of history repeating itself. Unless figures belie the facts, it would appear the Panther weakness on defense this year is the same as it was on that New Year's day of 1930 when the Trojans went on a! scoring spree with passes. Of the 1,457 yards gained against the Panthers during the 10 games of the last season, 718 of them, almost half, were made on completed for- ward flips. In nine games, South- ern California allowed 1,475 yards to be made against it, but only 517 were the result of their opponents’ aerial game. Fifty of 159 forward passes were completed against Pitt. A dozen were intercepted. The Trojans, on the other hand, allowed only 37 of 128 attempted aerial thrusts to con- nect for their opponents, and inter- cepted 21 others. On the other side of the ledger, Coach Howard Jones’ team, in win- ning all of its nine games, completed 30 of its 88 tosses and only four of the attempted passes were inter- cepted. With the Trojans lacking the old power of former years but having) much more deception, it is logical to suppose they will spring another bar-| rage of passes on the Panthers. COACH SUTHERLAND REMAINS PESSIMISTIC Tucson, Ariz, Dec. 27.(P)—The 1933 Rose Bowl game will be a battle in the air as far as the University of Pittsburgh Panthers are con- cerned. At least that is what spec- tators at the first local public show- ing of the eastern team inferred after seeing the Panthers, here to train for the Jan. 2 contest with Southern California at Pasadena, let loose a dazzling forward pass attack in scrimmage. Using various backfield combina- tions of Heller, Sebastian, Hogan, ‘Winstock, Matesic and Weisenbaugh, Coach Jock Sutherland sent the reg- ulars against the second and third string aggregations Monday after- noon. Forward passing predomi- nated and the Panthers appeared to have more than ordinary ability and luck in completing long throws. ‘The remaining four days in which the Panthers will be here are expect- ed to be spent in developing offensive plays. The easterners have a line comparing favorably in reputation to that of the Trojans. Coach Suther- land thinks if he can develop a few scoring plays to fool Coach Howard Jones’ team, he will have the game won, However, Sutherland has not changed, for the present, his pessi- mistic attitude on the outcome of the game. He still says he believes his Panthers are in for a trimming.

I kinda try to tell ’em what's what.” Gus usually accompanies the fam- ily to Warm Springs, Ga., where Franklin . Roosevelt has found strength and renewed activity in the healing waters. On a hillside over- looking a hollow is the next summer white house. It even looks a little like the white house in miniature. Inside are a big living room, a libr- ary, three bedrooms and a kitchen. The president-elect spends part of each morning on the spacious porch, reading his mail. At 11 o'clock he drives down to the pool for swimming and exercise. There he receives his second mail, and reads it while sun- ning. * # & A GREAT SWIMMER He reads the papers, has lunch, re- ceives a few visitors, and later goes for a drive over backwoods roads, with Gus jouncing beside him and hoping the flivver won’t turn over. The bodyguard says the only time he ever saw the governor angry to the point of raising his voice was once when he saw a horse and rig driven through some beautiful flowering shrubbery. “T wish,” sald Gus earnestly, “that anybody that thinks there’s any- thing wrong with the governor’s health would get in a swimming pool with him. What shoulders! You know they examined him not long ago and found he had a five-and-a- half-inch chest expansion. “He's like a kid in the pool, always starting races or water polo games. I often say we give him plenty of air while he’s in the water. Because if he’s feeling playful he'll half drown you. “People sometimes get tossed in that pool with their clothes on, and I'm pretty careful when I’m rassling around the edge of it with Johnny and Frank. The governor has a standing offer of $2 reward for any- body that'll throw me in, I wouldn’t mind that so much as what the gov- Let would do to me after I got re,” se % CHRISTMAS EXCITEMENT With the ending of their recent ‘Warm Springs vacation, everybody from Gus to the cook, and Grand- mother Roosevelt to 4-year-old “Sis- tie,” has been getting excited about Christmas. Because for the first time since the Roosevelts went to Albany, in 1928, the big day will be celebrated in the old family home at Hyde Park. However, that is no indication that the 150 children of the La Salle Or- phanage, back of the executive man- sion in Albany, will be deprived of their annual party. Mrs. Roosevelt, who herself was orphaned at 10, says she “wouldn’t miss that for anything wile BR. CONTR dicate Trojans Stronger especially since it’s the last time we can have them.” So the orphans will be brought over to the mansion in relays, on two afternoons before Christmas, to view ‘a dazzling tree. And each one of them will receive a gift, bought, wrapped and daintily tied by the next First Lady of the Land. * * * SANTA TO THE POOR Meanwhile, in New York City, still another Roosevelt celebration will be in progress. Without publicity, in fact, practically unheard of except by its young beneficiaries, it has become @ private family tradition. Years ago Mrs. Roosevelt said to friends in social service organizations: “Select 50 or more children from families who will have absolutely no Christ- mas; families who are the poorest of the poor, Send them to the Wom- en’s Trade Union League House on Christmas Eve.” To her eldest children she said: “These youngsters are to be your per- sonal guests.” So Anna and James ‘bought presents, loads of them, and wrapped them. Anna and James bought a tree, and trimmed it. Jimmy dressed up in a Santa Claus suit and tried his best to talk in a Jolly bass voice. Their guests stayed 80 late that some of them had to be sent home in taxis. This responsibility, or privilege, has passed down to the younger Roose- velts, and this year Franklin, Jr. and John will have guests at the Trade Union League House. Frank- lin is already ar his lines, * * CHRISTMAS AT HOME Christmas Day is reserved for the family. A tree will have been brought in by the gardener and set up in the “big room” between the two fire- places. Franklin Roosevelt will have critically supervised its trimming, the placing of each light and bangle. Dall’s children, “Sistie” and “Buzzy” will hang up their stockings on the mantle in the governor's bed- room. There will be stockings, too, for the James Roosevelt's 10-months- old Sarah, and for the Elliott Roose- velts’ 7-weeks-old William. Among the presents, of which there will not be a very great num- ber, one is sure to be a marine it for Franklin Roosevelt from his mother. That is another tradition. The people from the five cottages on the estate will come in and be welcomed. Friends will drop around later, and Curtis Dall will play the piano for a few songs. And after a while, as he had done at least 20 times before, Franklin Roosevelt will take down a volume of Dickens and will ae aloud “The Christmas Carol.” THE END ACT é EXPERTS PLAY IT = BY WM. E. McKENNEY Secretary, American Bridge League One of the questions most fre- quently asked by those just taking up the One over One system is, “How do you distinguish between a weak third hand bid and a good third hand bid?” The method is simple enough. If you open with an extremely weak hand as third hand—in other words, make nothing more or less than a defensive bid, one to try to throw your opponents off the track—don’t make the mistake of ever re-bidding that hand, even though you may have good support for a bid that partner may make. If you ever re-bid that opening third hand, your partner will now feel that you have a hand as good as |@ first or second hand bid. aA-7 | McKENNGY ae won by North with the jack, a heart being discarded from dummy. The queen of diamonds was led; East won with the ace, and next led the jack of hearts. West played the encouraging nine and North won with the ace. North played the king of clubs which East won with the ace. East played the ten of hearts, dummy winning with the king, North dis- carding a club. An interesting squeeze play now developed. A small diamond was de- veloped. A small diamond was re- turned from dummy, West discard- ing a club and declarer, winning with the nine. Declarer cashed his queen of spades, discarding a heart from dum- my. He then played a small dia- mond, winning in dummy with the king, West discarding a spade. Declarer then led the two dia- monds from dummy and West was squeezed. He could discard his queen of hearts on the first diamond, but on the second diamond he must drop either a spade or a club. If a spade is dropped, declarer’s seven is good, while if a club is play- ed, both declarer’s clubs will be good. {In this. manner North and South made four odd at no trump.
