Debaters Back
From Stanford
Caltech debaters won more
than fifty percent of the debates
they took part in at the recent
Wesetern Speech tournament
hel d last week at Stanford Unl·
versity according to Coach McCrery. Debaters who made the
trip and participated in upper
division debate were Stan Groner, Ralph Stone, Ulrich Merten
and Bob Smith.
More than 40 colleges from the
various western states were represented at the tournament and
an estimated total of more than
400 students participated. With
the close of the Western tou rnament, Caltech debaters shift from
the topiC, "Resolved that the
United States Should Adopt a
Marshall Plan for the Orient" to
the national topiC, ".Resolved
that the United States Should
Nationalize the Basic non-Agricultural Industries."
February TOW'llament
On this question, Caltech is
sponsoring an invitational championship tournament to be held
on this campus February 24 and
25. A similar tournament was
held at Ca ltech last year, and
Coach McCrery reports that
among the various debate coaches in this area, the Caltech tournaments are regarded as being
excellently managed. Students
interested in debating should see

Unusual Talk Wheels Chosen
Last Monday, the ASCE pre·
sented Mr. Billig, of London,
England, who spoke on "Corrugated Concrete Construction."
Born and educated in Vienna,
and having served as a consulting engineer to the Russian government prior to his work in
England, Mr. Billig was well
qualified to speak on this subject
as this type of construction originated In Eur<>pe.
Uniqu e Construction
These shells employ parallel
beams bent into Catenaries anchored in a concrete foundation.
Over this framework is placed
netting and a subsequent coating o( concrete, giving a quonset
hut appearance.
Of particular importance to
Mr. Billig and his colleagues Is
the fact that this type of build·
Ing can be built with unskilled
labor and relatively little equipment. With the s u pplement of
slides and movies, Mr. BIllig's
talk proved quite Interesting to
the chapter.
TAU BATES
Not to be outdone in this technical sc hOOl, the humanities department claims its share of
nuts. One of its most prominent
is Dr. Hunter Mead.
Dr. Mead was stricken with a
mania for pipe organs in his
early high schOOl days_ Since
then, one of his highest am bi·
tions has been to install one of
these monstrosities in his own
house.
Big B,·oak
His first big break came when
he discovered a pipe organ, of
vintage 1907, for sa le in ,a church
in Sierra Madre. After removing it piece by 'piece to fill his
garage and back yard, he a nd his
mad cohorts wisely enlisted the
aid of a profess ional pipe organ
man. (Such does exist).
Then began the fun. The floor
of the front bedroom was brutally removed. The wall between
that bedroom and the living room
was removed and then 12 tons
of dirt beneath the bedroom was
removed. This-is work.

'This Mess
BY CARL FOX
Every so often there come to
every bridge player hands that
are out of normal bounds. These
are often freaks o r' the types,
7~3·2-1, 7-2-2·2, or 8·3-!·1 , for example. Such hands require s pecial handling.
Certai n opening bids have
been set aside to be used with
this sort of freaks. One of these
is the opening three bid.
The opening three bid is not
primarily intended to make life
miserable for the opposition, although it does make it difficult
for them to enter the auction.
But. with any rea sonable sort
of a break, you intend to make
the contract. Thus opening three
bids should not be used care·
lessly.
This bid is generally reserved
for hands containing at least a
seven·card suit, although this
may be reduced to six cards if
the suit is strong enough. The
suit should, if a major. be strong
enough that no t more than one
trick will be lost in it. If a
minor, no tricks should be lost
(barring an abnormal split).
In addition. the hand should
be fairly useless a s support to
partner in the play of a contract
in any other suit. Thus it is
often fairly balanced in the outside suits.
Then there is the honor count
requirement. The hand should
contain between Ph and 3 honor
tricks wi t h not more than one
ou tside the bid s uit.

are not, even though they con·
tain essentially the same size
cards and t he same honor count.
In both of the last two hands
it would be well to start with
a bid of one in the long suit,
for the hand is weI! adapted to
play in either of two suits, if
partner holds the other, and are
within the honor trick requirements of opening one bids. In
particular, with the second hand,
it is worthwhile to tread cau tiously and see if perhaps partner can come up with a Spade
bid somewhere along the line.
For a Spade contract is much to
be preferred. It takes one less
trick for game and partner can
throwaway most all his losers
on your Club suit. In fact, if
partner has much of anything in
his hand in Spades the hand ap·
pears decidedly siammish.

The A thletic Banquet. was a
great success; Dr. Sharp (of th e
Geology Department) was Mas ·
tel' of Ceremonies. Some of his
best introductions are as follows:
Dr. Jahns, "One of the most vig·
orous and elastic a t hl etic sup·
porters at Caltech"; Dr. Paul, he 's
a Harvard man, that's where
they yell. "Fight fiercely. Haal"·
vard, firm, but ·not brutal"; and,
of course, Dr. DuBridge. who,
we learned, was the mascot of
the football team of Cornell Col·
lege, Iowa, a t the age of four.
Dr. DuBridge gave several reasons why the footba ll sea so n ha s
been a success. We didn 't hav e
to play in snow; in fact, it didn't
even rain during any of our
garries, . , There were no irate
people who couldn't ge t tickets
to any of our games .. We played
in the Rose Bowl, no t once, but
three times.

we had expected on ticket sales.
