Hugh McDonald, Ray | Deskis, Marie Hodlatka, Lil and Dave Henseri, Mr. ant! Mrs. 'Fred Matthesius and Bill Brennan. Sad to state, our mighty league fell before the opposition. A luscious repast lifter the arduous playing was enjoyed. On the way home, we are given to understand, Bob Kantorski and Chuck Ingersol held hands for consolation. Ray Stilling deserves praise for piloting the crew home and sticking with the gang until the bitter end. At Hoqne Roy "Doc" Kinsey, who has been detained at Memorial hospital for some weeks, has. made sufficient recovery to return home.

She was tested to determine the cause of her illness, and as a result, surgery was indicated. Mary was operated on Monday morning, but at this writing she is still a very sick gal. Cards and notes from her many friends will do much toward relieving pain and melancholy. Drop her a line now, while you are thinking about it. It will be quite some time before Mary will be feeling fit enough to resume her many tasks. Dlsa and Data The Roy Zodys are really living it up.

Even Canasta, a relative newcomer which only reached its peak of popularity' in 1990, has blossomed out in more ' . than a hfrU- ^ dozen new -Qy variations. Poker has so many offshoots it is impossible t o k e e p track of them. And the l a w breakers have even gone after such verierable games as Contract Bridge, and Hearts. Take "Wild Bridge," for example. Intended only for those people who know the fundamentals of Contract but who occasionally like to forget the game's conventions, Wild Bridge requires no .knowledge of Blackwood, or the proper response to an opening thriee bid, or how to execute an end play. If you understand the bare essentials of bridge--the rank/of the suits, objectives of the game, order of bidding, - etc.--*try this variation. Instead of dealing thirteen cards to each player, deal only twelve. Place the balance in a kitty, to go to the highest bidder. Then bidding proceeds in the usual fashion on the basis qf twelve cards and the whining bidder picks up the kitty* inspects it, and distributes one card to each player including himself. This simple departure puts more emphasis on luck than skill and places the game back in the hands of the people who enjoyed Bridge when it was played just for fun and sociability. * Here's what has happened to Hearts. Object of the game, you'll recall, is to avoid taking any trick with hearts in it (one point penalty) or the Queen of Spades (14' point penalty). Before the first lead, you are supposed to pass' three cards face down from your hand to the flayer at your left. In this wild variation, called "Roving Hearts," you add an additional step after this first passing by giv- ;lng the dealer the privilege of requiring that all hands be. passed once to the left or once to the right. Or twice in any direction.. Or that there 9re to be no moves at all and everyone is to play the hand in his possession. It's law-breaking that's legal--and it's fun. Try "Wyd Bridge Or "Roving Hearts" aftd then look around for a card game you'd like to take apart. DR. HENRY FREUND OPTOMETRIST Ai 136 S.
