New Hoop Fad Sweeps Country NEW YORK (UPI)—A simple and inexpensive new toy has thousands of the nation's children and many of its adults going around en-circled. The toy is a plastic hoop, which one West Coast company introduced in mid-summer, tak-
ing the idea from bamboo hoop twirling which has swept Australia. The hoop became a fad faster than j’ou can say “Davy Crockett." Estimates from industry sources are that 25 competitors i>f the first manufacturer have spun into production, that some 20 million hoops already have been sold, and that before the toy is dead as the yo-yo, another 15 to 20 million will get around. I first noticed the hoop among
the small fry of my .own apart-ment-house neighborhood and stood agape as children from tots to teens twirled the hoops around their bodies with a gyrating motion to challenge Elvis. The twirling operates on the same principle around your finger; the body rotates in a small circle, the hoop m ,kes a large one. The experts can spin the hoop around their necks, waists, knees, and move it from one part of the

body to the other. Some of the veterans of five or six hours’ practice can keep several hoops in orbit. “We have one man who can keep five going at the same time," said a spokesman for W. R. Grace Co., one of several makers of linear polyethylene, a tough and rigid plastic from which the better hoops are made. The children are getting so good at spinning that in one contest, a 10-year-old in New Jersey lasted through 3,000 twirls, some sort of record for endurance. And twirling contests are springing up in all parts of the nation. Most hoops measure 35 or 36 inches in diameter, although smaller ones now are coming to market. They weigh from six to 11 ounces, depending on the type of plastic, and the cost is from 79 cents on up to $2.50. Some jingle as they twirl. Credit for starting the toy idea goes to Arthur Melin and Richard Knerr, youthful partners in a San Gabriel, Calif., firm. Melin slid they started demonstrating ‘he hoops at beaches in California. Because the hoops float, they are popular for water games. Some youngsters use them as skipping ropes. Spinning started with the children but has moved “to all ages, right up to 100,’’ said a spokesman for the hoop-making firm owned by Art Linkletter, of radio and television.

West opened the deuce of spades, and declarer played the king from dummy. East played the five of spades without seem-
ing to think about it.
This was the key play of the defense. It was vital for East to refuse the first trick without
making a full about it.
At the second trick. South took the ace of clubs. He contimvd by leading a club towards dummy. With any reasonable break, he would develop his ninth trick in
this suit.
As it happened, the clubs broke very badly. West discarded a diamond, and South went up with dummy’s king of clubs. Now South needed a second spade trick to make his contract. He got to his hand with a diamond and led a spade towards dummy. West played low, and South had to guess whether to play the quern or the ten from
dummy.
Because of East’s casual play at the first trick. South guessed wrong. Assuming that West had the ace of spades, South played dummy’s queen. This tinv. of course East took his ace. He returned a spade, and
West took two more spade tricks South eventually went down one ihstead of making his vulnerable game. There would be a different story to tell if East took the ace of spades at the first trick. South would later finesse dummy’s ten of spades, and would easily make his contract. HOW DID EAST KNOW? How did East know that he should refuse the first trick ? How can a player look ahead so quickly? The answer is that East didn’t look ahead and didn’t know. He didn’t need to. He saw that his ace was behind K-Q-10 and therefore automatically refused the first trick. This is a good rule to follow, especially when defending against
