Bridge Match Set
For September 19
A challenge match between
the Antelope Valley and the
Indian Wells Valley has been
set for Sunday afternoon, Sept.
19, by the duplicate bridge
players of the China Lake Unit
of the Arne ric a n Contract
Bridge League.
This special event will be a
first for the local duplicate
players and ref I e c t s the
growth of the local duplicate
bridge unit in both size and
experience, according to Capt.
William Von Hausen, USN, a
director of the bridge u nit
committee and captain of the
chal1enge team.
The Antelope Val1ey forces
are captained by Sid Zalk,
ranking life master and tour-
nament director, and comprise
24 players. Both teams have
agreed to use one third lower-
ranking players (under 50 mas-
ter points), one-third middle-
ranking players (50 to 150 mas-
ter points) and one-third high-
er-ranking players (more than
150 master points).
The local bridge team in-
cludes John Spessard, of Tro-
na, a director of the unit com-
mittee and highest-ranking life
master, and Dr. Howard Sho-
mate, who became the fir s t
local life master last year.
Other high - ranking local
players who will chal1enge the
Antelope Valley team include
George Blackshaw, Polly and
Peter Nicol, Charles and Doris
Dye, Lillian Fojt, and Louis Da-
vidove. The complete team se-
lections will be announced
next week, according to Von
Hausen.
The chal1enge tournament
will begin Sunday, Sept. 19, at
1 p.m. at the China Lake Com-
munity Center and will be
played in several sections.

al1 a woman has to do to run

Sutherlen Receives Letter From
Capt. Holmquist Via Balloon
Captain Carl O. Holmquist,
Technical Officer at Chi n a
Lake from Sept. 1961 to June
1963, sent an ordinary letter
recently to his good friend
George R. Sutherlen, Cod e
852, from Pi. Mugu Naval Mis·
sile Center.
It was just a note thanking
him for the use of the Suther-
len cabin on a f ish i n g trip.
The letter was delivered at
third hand, however, and at
the bottom was this informa·
tion:
"This let t e r, by the way
came part or all of the way by
a helium weather bal1oon. We
attached the letter to the bal-
loon and launched it at 1945
hr. on the twenty-first (of Au-
gust.) Please let us know if
and when you receive this."
The Non·Directionol Poot
The expected north-easterly
winds failed to materialize for
Captain Holmquist, and an im-
promptu p 0 s t man, William
Hawkins in Riverside intercep-
ted the balloon at VanBuren
and Colorado Streets on Au-
gust 22. He added the note:
"Picked up your UFO at the
corner of Van Buren and Colo-
rado at about 10:00 p.rn."
