College Boys SB,OOO Ahead At Roulette Claimed Gambling System Foolproof Reno, Nov. 20 — (UP) — Two college students decided early today to "knock off for a bit” while they were still SB,OOO ’fthead on the S3OO they started betting three days* ago, using a system they claimed was foolproof to beat the roulette "wheel. At one point in their three-day seige at the tables, the University of Chicago students — Albert Hibbs, Chillicothe, 0., and Roy Walford, San Diego, were $13,000 ahead of the game. When they left Harold’s club this morning, they warned Harold Smith, one of the operators, that they “might be back tonight, but we

aren’t sure.” Still clean-shaven and neatly dressed after spelling each other in eight-hour shifts for 60 consecutive hours, Hibbs and WalfoM knocked off at 4:50 a.m. (PST). The break came after number nine, on which they had been betting continuously on one wheel, failed to come up for 10S consecutive rolls. They reached their peak yesterday when their winnings at Harold's and another club — where they previously had played the number 21 — reached $13,000. They stopped they were $5,000 ahead at the first club because the management changed the wheel. The pair said they hadn't counted their winnings exactly but they had won “between $7,000 and $9,000.” Smith confirmed that his club had lost somewhere between $2,000 and $4,000. Apparently the two players had reached the “mathematical point” at which they had previously said they would abandon their “system”

at least temporarily. Thousands of persons have become penniless attempting to “break the bank” at gambling houses -with ,-uch “secret systems.” It was the third day the pair of 23-year-old students had spent trying out the system they invented at the University of Chicago campus. The divorce seekers, the folks from the dude ranches, the flashilydressed boys with the shifty eyes, and the SSO-a week clerks looking for easy money crowded around and tried to figure out how the two young men had won more than SB,OOO in three days — and kept winning. Many of the spectators jotted down numbers too. Several of them, after watching intently, went to other tables to see if they could duplicate the students’ feat. But they soon returned discouraged and began jotting down numbers all over again. More people jammed into the club every hour. z Raymond Smith, Sr., whose two sons operate the club, said he would let Hibbs and Walford continue playing “even if it costs me a million bucks.” He described them as “the most honest, scientific gamlers I've ever seen in Reno.” 0 ——, Air express shipments in the United States in the first six months of 1947 totaled 1,747,295, more than 26 percent above the similar 1946 period, while the gross revenue increased 47 percent over the same 1946 period, reports Railway Express. o — SF/DDD Means Stocksdale’s Fresh - Delicious Downyflake Do-Nuts. 272t5
