John's bridge clubs; recruiting many members for the league thereby. His latest recruiting feat has been of obtaining a club franchise for the Cercle Limoges whose total membership also joined the ranks of the league. John is a senior master and a very popular player in the duplicate clubs. The league has been fortunate to have on its roster such a good worker as Jean Desautels. Denise Hunnius sweeps all events in a major table tennis meet: Denise and her husband John are regular participants in the league's tournaments and I find it very pleasant to let our "duplicators" know about her feat.

At the Quebec open championships Denise won the singles, the doubles with Toronto's Velta Adminis, and the mixed with Montreal's Guy Germain. She has been named on Canada's national team which travels to Prague April 3, for the world championships. CTTA President John Hunnius was named captain and team manager. The teams of Mrs. J.

Begin Dan Tait and Sam Gold Aaron Goodman chosen as model teams. As explained last week, an "observer" will record the bidding sequences of each board of these two teams and as one will play N-S and the other E-W, all boards played will be covered both ways. A few words about the teams Sam Gold is a life master since- 1948 arid Aaron Goodman since 1949, and having played together most of their bridge career they form one of the most formidable pairs in action. Mrs. J.

Begin was the second woman in Canada to obtain a life master's card and currently Jeads all Canadian women in total master points. She forms with Dan Tait (our most recent Montreal life master) a very strong team as exemplified by their latest success in Burlington (reported above). All participants wiU therefore be able to compare their result on each board against that of either of these famous pairs. Incidentally, I wonder if other Cities will adopt the "observer" plan? Don't you think it woulld be interesting to compare our "model" pairs' results against theirs'? THE LINTON, Tues. Mrs.
