President Fox declared that use of an ineligible player in the ninth inning nullified the runs made in that inning and ordered the game to be played over immediately, starting at the first of the ninth, with Rayville' regular player in the game. Although Rayville had been ahead on runs at the end of the ninth, while using the ineligible player, the reverted back to the end of the eighth when Bastrop was one run ahead. The final score of the evening was 4 to 3 in favor of Bastrop.

This game was the final of the Shaughnessy semi final playoffs. As Bastrop was awarded the game, they will play Urania, who beat Mangham three straight, in the final playoffs which start at Bastrop Friday night. The team that first wins four games will be the champions of the league. ---------------------o National Geographic Society says there are nearly 100,000 movie iheaters in the world.

West Point, N. Aug. UR After a quick look at left of the Army football team, this observer got the impression that Villanova will beat the bejabbers ut of Red In the first game and Northwestern will polish off left. If the cadets could take on admitted- ly weak Dartmouth, Harvard and the Citadel before those two toughies. they might get somewhere.

And even saying that is a tribute to coaching genius. The promising youngsters from last plebes and the squad guys just don't, know wnat a tough, bruising, downright-mean game intercollegiate football can be. And no matter how big they are, learning is liable to be a painful process, especially if they move around fast on defense. If Blaik have the toughest coaching job, Doc Blanchard probably has. Doc is scout- ing the company teams trying to round up enough material to form a respectable squad this year.

There's a difierent story to tell if South gives away one trick during the early part of the play. Then really up against it, for he needs the rest of the tricks. And then the squeeze play works. Let's sec how it goes.

South wins the first trick with the ace of spades and finesses nine oi clubs He expects to lose this trick, so he disappointed hen East wins with the ten of clubs. East can't do anything spectacular so suppose he returns a spade Dummy wins with the queen of spades and cashes the king of clubs. Declarer then runs the four diamonds discarding the deuce of hearts from his own hand. he gets to his hand with the king of spades to cash the ace of hearts and the ace of clubs. When South leads the ace of clubs everybody has to come down to cards.

West and Dummy have saved a spade and two hearts. East has saved two clubs and a heart. East has had to give up his heart stopper in order to prevent South from winning a trick with the seven of clubs. What does West discard on the ace of clubs? If he discards a spade, six of spades will win a trick. If he discards a heart, dummy gets rid of the six of spades, and now dummy wins the last two tricks with the king and ten of hearts.

The moral Is quite clear: must have his day. VACflRD The bidding been North. 1 Spade; East. Pass, South. 2 Diamonds; West Pass North, 2 Hearts; East, Pass; South, You South, hold: Spade 4.
