No Fire, Just Water Sot, April 24, 1965 Doily Northwestern I 1 Iff Poker Playing Changing, Says Writer; Local Players Concur JJlnh ty; a fourth and perhaps a fifth teetered on the edge of extreme eccentricity." Only three of the chess champions were apparently normal and productive in areas besides chess. Lyon also tells of a two-year chess game once played by mail between students at Cambridge University and inmates of Bedlam, the famous English insane asylum. "Cambridge was licked," he relates. A survey of some dedicated long-time local poker players indicates that they are generally in agreement with Lukacs' opinions. But one local player observed, "Sure, Americans are less self reliant than they used to be.

The frontiers are gone. This country is much more crowded than it was in the 19th century. People have to depend more on others." They also agreed that draw poker is less in favor than it used to be, and some of the "wild" versions of poker couldn't really be called poker. The consensus was that in true poker, the ability of the players was much more important than the cards they hold. Some local players with extensive business experience also thought that a good poker player is more likely to be a good businessman than a poor player, although they agreed that this was often not taue.

The application of poker theory to foreign policy has fascinating possibilities. Our diplomats will sharpen their minds for international conferences by having all-night poker sessions. Schoolboys, along with learning the Declaration of Independence will be taught the niceties of an inside straight, so they will be better prepared to outwit our enemies. Future wars can be fought at card tables. The cry, "I'll call your three H-bombs and raise you two F-105s" will be heard.

The U. with its superior poker players, will soon control all the weapons in the world and the Russians will beg for mercy. But, considered seriously, Lukacs theory has merit. do with our foreign policy? A lot, says Lukacs. It seems that some of our leading military theoreticians have attempted to apply the rules of poker and other games to military strategy.

They think future military battles can be decided by applying the rules of mathematical probability, and eliminating human decisions. Lukacs considers this absurd, for one reason, because human intuition is much more important in poker than mathematical rules. He quotes from a recent article written by a professor which received honorable mention in the annual prize essay contest of the United States Naval Institute, the proceedings for which are printed by the George Banta Menasha. The essay states that Rusian international strategy is that of a chess playing nation, while U.S. strategy indicates a U.S.

preference for poker. The essay's author believes that we should adopt chess strategy in diplomacy, since it involves looking farther into the future and basing all the moves on one objective. Russians have dominated in-, ternational chess in recent years. Lukacs views this argument with distaste. He points out that chess is governed by rigid mathematical rules, and you can teach a computer to play the game but it is impossible to teach a machine to play poker.

Since nations are governed by and diplomacy is conducted between people, he reasons that poker strategy has much more application to our foreign policy than chess strategy. Players "Dotty" He also makes the observation that chess players of genius are often deficient in common sense. In an article about American chess champion Bobby Fischer in the May, 1963 issue of Holiday Magazine, Peter Lyon states that in the past 100 years, eight men have dominated international chess. "Of these," Lyon says, "three were definitely dot when the woman approached him, he pointed a pistol at her and demanded she fill a paper bag with money from the cash register. After receiving the money the man ripped the telephone connection from the wall, ordered Mrs.

Schmidt into the back room, then fled. Mrs. Schmidt told police she stayed in back for several minutes, then called police from a nearby phone. She said the robber was about 5-11, wearing glasses, a dark hat, and a rain and shine coat. Recital to Be Given Sunday NEENAH A piano recital of the students of Mrs.

They received the fire call at 2:53 p.m. the long handle to the vacuum cleaner," turn on the vacuum and draw the insect into the tube.

Mrs. Carl Kanel CANDLELIGHT Dear Heloise: We use those patio candle holders that are about 12 inches high, have a narrow opening at the-top and completely encase the candle. When the candles burn down, I use a paper drinking straw to relight them. I just light the end of the straw with a match, turn the bottle to a 45 degree angle and insert the straw to the wick of the candle. This method has saved many burned fingers.

And do you know how she did She took all of her husband's old neckties (the wide kind that they don't wear any more) and cut them up into little patches about two-by three inches and stitched them togeth-er on her sewing machine as if she was making a quilt. Heloise She used a small stitch and top stitched each seam twice. She then covered her lovely, old rocking chair! One good thing about this, she says is that when one part becomes soiled, she just rips it off and re-patches that one part.

The chair was absolutely beautiful. She also had one Sleepy Hollow rocker covered with a patchwork of wool materials. It was adorable, too. Those who have a lot of old ties, or some beautiful heavy woolen materials, could try this. I know you'll be pleased.

It's so adorable, different and homey. Heloise BED BACKREST Dear Heloise: A small washboard inserted in a pillow case (behind the pillow) makes a wonderful backrest for those in bed. It will not slip or slide. The legs of a small dime store washboard may be cut off but this is entirely unnecessary. Mrs.

G. Sederer Jr. LETTER OF LAUGHTER Dear Heloise: Regarding the ladies who spatter their dresses with grease when they cook I wonder if they ever tried wearing an apron? M.E.B. LUNCH SALAD Dar Heloise: I think I've found a feasible way to carry a delicious salad in my lunch all that is needed is a good, airtight, plastic container for the salad and an aspirin bottle! an aspirin bottle is just the right size for carrying salad dressing. One tip on preparing the salad is to leave out the tomatoes because they tend to make the salad soggy by lunchtime.

When the French, or vinegar and oil dressing, from the aspirin bottle is poured on top of the salad, it's really a tangy treat and such a relief from the heaviness of sandwiches. Also, try it for those dieting husbands they'll like it, too. Mrs. Ernie Olson ADHESIVE MARKS Dear Heloise: Here is a hint that was discovered accidently by our year-old daughter. As she listened to her teacher, she absent-mindedly rubbed a pencil eraser on the marks left by an adhesive bandage.

The marks came off! It also works on the gummy adhesive which labels sometimes leave on new pans, glasses, etc. Phyl H. NEEDLE PICKUP Dear Heloise: After struggling to pick up a needle on the floor (with short fingernails), and just about ready to give up, the idea popped into my head to tear off a small piece of tape and try to pick up the needle with it. Presto there's the needle! Faye 0.

thuirh and ministry committee nieeusg) Tuesday, 9 a.m., Bible study By JOHN COMBELUCK Northwestern Staff Writer NEENAH- MENASHA Americans frequently bewail the fact that the Russians often seem to outwit us in international diplomacy. We now know the reason why. It is because of the decline of poker playing in the United States. This is the theory expounded in an article written for the Nov. 1963 issue of Horizon Magazine by John Lukacs, entitled "Poker and the American Character." Lukacs, a college professor and historian, is also an enthusiastic poker player.

He grew up in Hungary and immigrated to this country in 1946. The origins of poker are obscure, but according to Lukacs, the game probably began in Louisiana when it belonged to France, spread to the U.S. about 1800 and from there, gradually, to the rest of the world. He describes draw poker as an American invention. Typically American Lukacs thinks classic draw poker is the most typical American game.

He believes this because draw poker is a game of chance in which the skill of a player is much more important than luck. It requires intuition, common sense, self reliance and an understanding of the mentality of opposing players. The professor believes that these characteristics are the ones most uniquely American. But, he laments, the popularity of draw poker in the U.S. has rapidly declined during this century.

Since 1920, he says, draw poker has been steadily replaced by other variations, where one or more wild cards are used and some of the cards are dealt face up. In draw poker, there are no wild cards and all cards are dealt face down. Lukacs' observation is confirmed by a 1956 edition of "The New Complete Hoyle," which gives the rules for poker and other card games. The book states that during the 20th Century, poker has been 'pepped up' by introduction of new varieties and promiscuous use of "wild Nearly all games today are of this 'pepped up' variety." This seems to be a harmless trend. But to Lukacs, it is an indication of a decay in American character.

Not Poker He feels that each of these different poker games can not be called poker at all. Every variation makes poker more a game of chance and less of skill. The professor believes that the increased popularity of the new games indicates a decline in American's self-reliance and self-confidence, and an in-' creased desire for security. Poker players don't want to rely as much on their skill anymore.
