Jacoby, Menzel to Match Cards With College Aces

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Two College bridge players pit their skill against an English professor and one of the nation's foremost experts on the game in an exhibition match to be played at Phillips Brooks House Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock.

Lieutenant (jg) Oswald Jacoby, one of the "Four Horsemen" of bridge, and Lieutenant (jg) Howard M. Menzel, former Harvard English professor, will play their trumps against George "Bunks" Burditt '44, and Hugh Hyde '44, basketball and Student Council teammates. The purpose of the informal battle is to stimulate friendship between undergraduates and the Naval trainees in the Yard.

Kibitzers Welcome

The participants let it be known that Kibitzers would be more than welcome, and the contest will last only an hour and a half, not too serious a crimp in examination study schedules.

Hyde and Burditt, otherwise known as the Gold Dust twins, are unofficial bridge champions of the College, and after their joust with the masters Sunday, they will be ready for all student challengers to their informal title.
