Knox, Attorney Passed: July 27, 1956 Aopvo -o i: July 27, 1956 Published: AugustJ9, 1956 at Home SAVE! ARE WOMEN TOP BRIDGE PLAYERS? Not college women, if the results just in from the 1956 National Intercollegiate Brfdge Tournament can be believed. Winners of this year's contest have just been announced and for the eleventh s t r a i g h t year, or as long as the t o u r n a ment has been held, w o m e n have failed to capture t h e t o p prizes. M o r e than 2,000 men and women undergraduates at 102 c o l l e g e s and universities throughout the United States competed in the tourney by playing , sixteen specially prepared hands on their individual campuses. This year's champions were all in the Ivy League with Boyd N. Everett, Jr. and Franklin Bunn of Harvard University winning out on the North-South Boards and Frank E. Barteaux, Jr. and John Strong, Jr. of Dartmouth College triumphing Oft the East-West Boa'rds. In second place on the North-South Boards were Kent McCullough and Don Lytle of the University of Kansas and John L. Howell and Donald J. Seldeen of the California Institute of Technology. You have to go all the way down the list of winners to fifth place before you find two coeds from Bryn Mawr College--Katie Westervelt and Anne Wake--among the ranking Bridge players of the nation's colleges. The continued failure of women Bridge players to rank high in the national college tourney is puzzling in the face of all surveys which show that 'more women than men play Bridge. The American Contract Bridge League maintains that the reason women don't fare as well as men in college Bridge competition is because the young ladies don't possess the physical prowess that men do. The Bridge League adds that women are just as intelligent as men when it comes to executing an end play or understanding the proper response to -an opening three bid but men are stronger and stand up better under the strain of competition. Whatever the reason; Betty Cocfd will have to, "wait till next year" in her patient attempt to triumph over Joe College for national Bridge honors. McHENRY TOPICS Glenn Paulsen Networks have been working on surveys to find out who controls the television dial in the family. Naturally, this will give them a lot of insight about slanting their commercials for the best results. It seems that they can't decide if it's the kids or Mom. hut they're sure that Dad doesn't have much to say about it. At McHenry TV we've noticed that any late afternoon calls for TV servicing always have the disappointed kids waiting around for their favorite cowboy show, and almost ahvays if a parent will want " Allan McKim a rusJ^ job. they will mention that the kids don't want to miss th»ir programs. Adults don't niak^ to much ado about missing te levision unless there is s special program like a Presidential speech or a Championship fight. We'd pick the kids fo- controlling the television dial. And vhen you pick a number like 223S on your telephone call about TV service, you will find a prompt, pro- ^ essive service oranization th-it doo^ a job with accurate oloctronie inrtruments. And we'l' please the kids, too with good, fast service. McHENRY TV PHONE 2233 On Route 120 - • 2 Blks. East of N e\v Bridge Claire Beauty Shoppe 200 SOUTH GREEN STREET McHENRY, ILL.
