Here’s a hint to players “When
experts are competing at match-
point duplicate bridge, they must
hnve_ the undAstanding of psy
chology, tactics, and personal
equation. Bridge psychology can
best be defined as ‘the process of
taking into cnesideration the per-
sonal element ifty»lved, the ten=^
dencies, idiosyncrasies and reac
tions of partner and adversaries’.”

LET’S MAKE OZE SIMMONS
FIRST NEGRO ALL-STAR
Chicago,” July 23.—Jf, as soon
as you read this, you sit right
down and name a team of foot
ball players who graduatod this
year from white colleges with the
inclusion of Oze Simmons of Iowa
in one of the halfback positions,
yju may be the cause of a colored
star appearing for the first time
in this annual grid classic.
This will be the fourth year the
gdme has been played. The Col
lege All-American football team,
composed of 1937 graduates who
receive the most votes In a poll
being conducted by 150 daily
newspapers, wilf battle the Green
Bay Packers, champions of. tlie
National Professional league, at
huge Soldier’s Field in Chicago
the night of Sept. 1.
But no player who doas not
rank high in the final tabulatujns.
will be inciudcd on the suad. Sim
mons is a browa boy. That means,
just iil>'selection of All-
American teams each fall, he will
be passed over by most white
voters. But there are enough Ne
groes to najpj 'him if they, will,
and anybody the land is per
mitted to send in a ballot.
The time, however,' is short. No
votes will be accepted after .mid^
night;j^ this coming Sunday, June
■ means, in plain talk, that
-you nave got. to send in his n^e
right away as you have only a
day or two left. «end your list
'"^etther to; one «f the supporting
papers, 4f you live in their terri-
•' tory, or else direct to the .All-Star
Game Editor, Chicago Tribune,
Chicago’.': The Tribune is sponsor
ing the classic.
Of course you all know Sim
mons and his rfeputfttion. For
three years he was the backfield
etar" of a .weak Iowa university
team-. Rough handling in his
,L.fxeshman year by the ^ Minnesota
powerhouse even involved the gov-
. ernors o^, both states. Experts
said this' Hula Hippedi Hawkeye
Hog Hide Handler was the great
est ball carrier since Red Grange;
others declared he had no peer as
a (’lafensive back.
It has baen one of Simmon’s
greatest ambitions to play - in an
All-Star game. Last year he sat
entranced on the sidelines and
said he hoped he would be chosen
for the 1S37 contest. As a mat
ter of fact, it would be a revela
tion to see what Oze could do be
hind All-iStar . blocking; at Iowa,
he had to do his own blpcking and
.ball lugging. Simmons is also re
covered from that bad accident
sustained a few months ago while
traveling with his basketball team,
and his entrance into profession-
football last Thanksgiving has ab
solutely no eff^t on his eligibility
for the Sept. 1 game.
At pT'esMit his name Is far down
on the list of halfbacks receiving
votes. But ou cian bring him to
the top. All' you have to do is
nHtnp a 11 men With Oze
a=i a fialfback and send it in to
reach its destination by Sunday
at midnight. And everybody oan |
vote. Are you willing to help
give our race the first represen
tation it has eveir had at this
great classic? I’ve already bent
in mine. How abQUt you?
