CONTRACT BRIDGE By B. Jay Becker (T*P Record-Holder in Maetors' Individual Championihip Ploy)
REPEAT PERFORMANCE — Plainfield quarterback Don Casselman <33) played a big role in helping the Quakers defeat the host Tiger Cubs last night and almost pulled off a repeat performance. Last year Casselman ran the ball in
from the eight yard line with 9:21 remaining to beat the Cubs at Plainfield. This year he scored two touchdowns and engineered all of the rest. He is shown above heading for a 64 yard jaunt down field against Greencastle defender John Gough (23).
Plainfield Quakers batter Cubs 34-9 after trailing at half time
By FRANK PUCKETT, JR.
Banner Sports Editor
Central Indiana Conference power Plainfield roared onto the playing field and scored five touchdowns and booted four extra point efforts during eecond half action against host Greencastle last night and handed the Tiger Cubs their second loss of the season, 34-9. Greencastle led the contest at the half time intermission by what seemed like a safe 9-0 margin, but run out of steam In the second half just as Plain-
field started churning.
The Quakers first TD caught the Cubs completely off guard and set the stage for what was to follow. Greencastle had just Completed a drive where they were held within their own thirty yard line when Chuck Evens booted the ball wildly. The pigskin landed on about the 28yard line and bounced twice toward the Cubs own end zone, but no one touched it until halfback Steve Goens came firing through the players, snatched the ball and made a bee-line
16 the end zone to score—un- 20-9.
molested. Less than two minutes had passed In the third quarter and the score was 9-6 Cubs. Plainfield’s next TD came as just as much a surprise as the first one when quarterback Don Casselman snatched the punt return on his own 36 and carried it 64 yards for the score only to be called back on a clipping penalty. On the following play Casselman slipped the ball to halfback Goens and he trotted the same 64 yards and scored the same TD. The only difference was that it counted and Greencastle was biting the
dust 13-9.
Plagued with misfortune seemed like only half the story when the Cubs opened up the fourth quarter with another halted drive within their own thirty yard line. Evens tried the punt return once more, but the ball was blocked by four Plainfield defenders, rolled into the end zone and potmeed on by halfback Bill Leech. The extra point was booted cleanly through the goal post and the Cubs were down seven more,
Midway during the final stanza quarterback Don Casselman showed his versatility by taking the ball on the Cub 35 and carrying four consecutive times till he burst into the end zone for a touchdown. Down 27-9 at the 5:51 mark seemed bad enough until Paul DeLois leaped into the air and swiped a pass intended for Frye on the Greencastle 34. DeLois then plowed his way to the ten yard line before he was brought down. Goens fought for a couple and then Casselman slid in behind four welltrained blockers for the final TD. DeLois converted for his fourth extra point kick and the Cubs were under 34-9. Quarterback Pete Norris was the only Tiger Cub to score diming the contest. He started by intercepting a pass on the Plainfield 45, firing a high flying bomb to halfback Jay Frye on the 19, and then booting his own field goal through the goal post. Leading 3-0, Norris headed the only other Tiger Cub drive
of the game. He took the ball on the kick and returned it to his own 15. John New bulled his way for a first down, Norris then trotted twenty-eight yards around the right end. With 39 seconds remaining and the ball laying on the Plainfield 46 Norris called time. Aft~r conversing with head coach Bob Bergman he fired a long one to Frye who was toppled or the Quaker 35. Frye picked up the first down on the next play before he was piled up on the four yard line and then Norris carried the ball in. Statistics look all wrong for the game, but officially the Cubs netted 231.5 yards and Plainfield 257 yards. Greencastle totaled 68 yards by passing and Plainfield 9. The difference came when the Quakers racked up 282 yards rushing and Greencastle had 65. The Tiger Cubs didn’t hurt their conference standing any with the contest but are 3-2 overall for the season with West Vigo traveUng to town Friday night.

The finesse is unquestionably a very valuable weapon, but it is virtually useless if you cannot get to the correct hand to take the desired finesse. This question of entries can t>® extremely bothersome in some hands, and many contracts are defeated solely because declarer lacks communication from one hand to the other. For example, In the present hand. If declarer could somehow or other obtain the privilege of leading from dummy at will, he could take successful finesses in •padee, diamonds and clubs, and
thus wind up with eleven tricks. But with no ready entry to dummy, South must, play well to bring home the contract. He knows from the bidding that each of the three possible finesses is marked to succeed, but the best he can do is tunnel his way into dummy to take two of them. Accordingly, at trick two, he leads the jack of spades and overtakes it with the queen. (Note that declarer does not lead the ace of spades first, which would destroy a vital entry to dummy.) East is forced to win the queen with the king, and makes the best return of a heart. South must be careful to trump high in order to preserve the 5-2 as entries to the 8-7. Declarer now crosses to dummy with a trump and, let’s say, takes a diamond finesse which succeeds. He then re-enters dummy with another trump and takes a club finesse. As a result of this meticulous use of his low cards, South scores ten tricks, losing only a spade, a diamond and a club. The key play comes at trick two. Not only must South avoid the error of leading the spade ace, but he must also be sure to overtake the jack (or its equivalent) with the queen. If he falls to do this, East defeats him by refusing to win the trick.

Sox out of running; Twins could take it all today
There are no more tomorrows for the Chicago White Sox—and there is only today for the Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers. But today could be everything for the Minnesota Twrins—they could win It all with an assist from California. The White Sox were eliminated from the American League’s “great race” Friday night—and the Red Sox and Tigers must win today to keep in the chase. The White Sox were knocked out by a 1-0 loss to the Washington Senators—a defeat that had an ironic note because it was the kind of game the Sox won all season, the combination of shutout pitching and an unearned run. Meanwhile, the Tigers’ twinight doubleheader with California was rained out, forcing the Tigers to schedule back-to-back doubleheaders today and Sunday. The Twins, who now stand in the best position, were preparing for their invasion of Boston for the two game series today and Sunday. They can clinch the pennant today by beating Boston if Detroit loses two to the Angels— and regardless of what the Tigers do. a Twin victory today will eliminate the Red Sox. Boston will be eliminated if it loses one of its last two and Detroit Will be eliminated if it | loses two of its last four. Min- j nesota will be eliminated if it i loses both games to Boston—al-1
though it will also lose If it splits with Boston and Detroit wins four straight. In the only other American League action, New York swept a doubleheader from Kansas City 4-3 and 1-0. In National League action, St. Louis edged Atlanta 3-1, Chicago whipped Cincinnati 4-1, New York defeated Los Angeles 5-1, Pittsburgh beat Houston 4-1, and Philadelphia whipped San Francisco 9-1. Phil Ortega pitched a fourhitter and Washington took advantage of two errors to score the only run and beat Chicago. After first baseman Tom McCraw dropped a throw and second baseman Don Buford made a throwing error on a relay. Fred Valentine singled to drive in the only run of the game. Manager Eddie Stanky, who’s been involved ifi countless controversies this season, was rather mellow as hf looked back on the Sox’ failure.
