Mr.

In no time the phrase \'According to Scarne\' was as familiar and definitive to the GI\'s of World II as was \'According to Hoyle\' to less rugged generations.--Allen Churchill, Navy Editor, Yank Scarne on Dice was first published in 1945.
With the undersigned--who functioned solely as a writer--he began in that publication a series of articles exposing crooked Dice and cards, and sharpers in general.
Scarne\'s activities around his New Jersey home became of interest to the editors of Yank, the Army weekly.
In due time Mr.
Then, from his incomparable knowledge of the subject, he instructed in spotting such crooked gentry and, if necessary, exposing them.
Rather he took the men aside, first singly and then in groups, warning that if they like to gamble with Dice and cards they were heading for an Army and a Navy abounding in plain and fancy sharpers and crooks.
Scarne was not one who, when the boys rode off to war, gave them good advice, chocolate bars, or woolen underwear.
Mr
