With Rod and Gun Outdoors year or the year before had a deer or two slung over the front fenders came home "light. There was no snow to give camp captains an idea where a buck might have sneaked into a laurel thicket or dense stand of striped willows to catch up on a bit of sleep or to browse. The drives we saw were made in the hopes that a buck would be driven to ward the standers. More than one drive in hitherto unhunted canyons chased only does or but ton bucks past hopeful standers. The rains made stump hunters ery uncomfortable and was downright hard on the fellows who had to push through dripping laurel or brush that gave off a shower of cold water when touched.

Some of the drivers we saw were soaked to the skin but cheerfully put up with the discomfort to give their buddies a shot if a buck happened to be routed from the line of' the drive. Some of the smarter natives are using the city slickers to earn a few extra dollars during deer season. Kealizing that the lew bucks that are in the woods will be chased back into the high hills where the not too good physical condition of office workers makes hem as safe as in a refuge, the natives are glad to give up the first few days to guide the "boys from town." Those same natives will gun and get their deer just as soon as the clamor dies down a bit following the first flush of enthusiasm that falters after two or three fruit less days in the cold, damp woods. It about time the country bumpkin puts one over on his self satisfied city cousin. Mohammedan muftis, savants of the divine law, do not consti tute a clerical caste; judges of the ecclesiastical courts apply to him for opinion on points arising in administration of Moslem law.

FRIDAY EVENING Simplified Bridge VJ105 Q9 Q9432 A I 7 642 753 J865 By CHABLES H. GOBEN 454 VAKQ87 J1086 J10 AAQ1082 V93 1K42 K7 North and South vulnerable, South deals. South West North IS 2S 4S East 3H The Invisible Short Suit One of the infirmities of the 4 3 3 3 distributions is that it offers no short suit as ruffing value should partner find it expedient to play the hand at a suit contract. A singleton is assigned the approximate value of two tricks, a doubleton, one trick (assuming dummy has sufficient trumps for the purpose). The trebleton, however, is assigned no value whatsoever, because it offers no prospect of a ruff.

Occasionally, however, a hand appears in which a three card suit can be used as a "shortage." In today's hand the declarer was playing a game contract in Spades, for which he bid after partner's simple raise. North was in some doubt about raising because of his even distribution. He was considering a 'response of 1 N. but felt that his hand was a little too good for that discouraging calL Three rounds of Hearts were led and South ruffed. Seeing no short suit in dummy, he pulled all the outstanding trumps and trusted that the Diamonds would break.

When the Diamonds turned out to be 4 2, which was normal, the contract went on the rocks for a trick. Declarer did not give himself a fair chance. There was no hurry about getting out the trumps. If the Diamonds were going to break there was no danger that any one would trump in. The proper play was the Ace, King, another Diamond immedi ately.

If the suit breaks, trumps can be drawn. If, however, one opponent has four Diamonds, the last one of that suit can be ruffed with a high Spade in dummy. It's really a simple game. Don lose sight of the fact that among those who now walk the streets of bomb shelled London, an appreciable number are those who pulled trumps too soon. Tomorrow there will appear the fifth in the series of weekly quizzes.

On the Air Radio Highlights By MICHAEL SEAMAN p. m. fridai Consolidating reports of big game hunters home from the woods will convince a confirmed skeptic at this half way mark in the deer season that the kill of bucks will be light this year. However, the kills hung all seemed to have excellent racks. The excellent crop of mast and increased browse because of the thinned herd following the doe season accounts for some of the palmated racks seen on some stags.

At' every wayside stand, gas station or restaurant along the roads leading from Potter, Tioga, Clinton, Lycoming, Bradford and other good deer counties the hunters stopping for a cup of coffee or snack of food seemed to be firm in their belief the hunting was tougher than in former years and the total kill will be quite light.

Harrisburgesque Thoughts while patrolling the beat By Nobe Frank No one can say that the Ford ham University football team didn't try to get a Ecwl game somewhere, and Was at last re warded for its efforts by sneaking into the Sugar Bowl to oppose Missouri on New Year's Day at New Orleans. I say "sneaked in" because that is just what the team did there were many other teams who could have Nobe Frank done the job, and probably much better. Fordham did not impress me that sad day it played Pittsburgh. Furthermore the Rams' schedule wasn't anything to set the spine tingling. It was devised to wangle a bowl game at the end of the season well, it did, and is it lucky.

Hershey authorities thought, when they built the beautiful arena that the 7100 seating capacity would do for years to come, and that it would be a long time before that many fans would crowd into the Ice Palace to watch a hockey game, but the fresh paint wasr't off the hinges on the doors until the powers that be wished it had been built twice as large. Talk about infant industries and sports. Hockey in this section is far and away above any other enterprise ever undertaken in this vicinity. And to accommodate all those who would like to see the Ice Follies, it would take a sports palace four times as large. Funny thing how all teams are passing up Duquesne when it comes to inviting a good team to a Bowl game on New Year's Day an' fcr that matter, Penn State certainly rates a bid to one of the post season classics.

Some of the teams that do the inviting are pretty slick aggregations they're not going to shatter a great season's record by taking on a team that can lick 'em. Of course, you can't altogether blame 'em either. If the Lion's Club is as smart as I figure it to be, they'll turn out 100 per cent, to hear Dr. W. Claudy, Superintendent of Rockview Prison when he speaks to the club next luesday noon Dr.

Claudy and Warden Stanley P. Ashe of Western Pennsylvania are two of the foremost peno logists in the country. Secretary I of Welfare, E. Arthur Sweeny, jand Deputy Secretary Jimmy Smith will bot, be on hand to see what makes Doc Claudy click at the Centre county institution And I have a hunch 'that the Telegraph Golden Gloves session this year is going to be the finest we have experienced. Sol diers from Indiantown Gap, New Cumberland, Middletown and Carlisle should augment the regular number of entrants, and if we find it is worthwhile, after the regular tournament is over, we'll take one of the shows to Indiantown and let Chappie Swope put on for the boys.

Many of you sports followers of the vintage of 1912 13, remember Aubrey Robinson who used to play football for Central High School, and was, at the time, one of the best sprinters in this locality The Robinson name is being carried along now by his two sons one a member of the Cornell football team, and the other a member of the Big Red band the Old Man is a veterinarian in Madison, New Jersey. Those soldiers who rolled through town on Thursday impressed me as a pretty tough bunch of hombres, and if I were Mr. Hitler and the Emperor of Japan (nobedy worries anymore about Mussolini), I'd think twice before inviting that United States Army out for a fight.
