Why is the third game called the rubber match?

The term drives from contract bridge (the card game). There are two forms of bridge commonly played -- "duplicate", which is used in tournaments, and "rubber".

How do you put a rubber mute on your violin?

A mute kind of looks like a smiley face with no smile, so where the "eyes" are will go on the D and A string (2 middle strings). There is usually 2 slits on the side of the mute, so you could just slide the mute on to the strings. Then once the mute is on the strings behind the bridge, you can just slide the mute on the hook over the bridge. This will prevent some of the vibration making the violin sound softer.

What is the difference between contract bridge and rubber bridge?

Contract Bridge IS regular Bridge. Harold Vanderbilt proposed changes to the then prevalent Auction Bridge in 1925, and his definition was significant enough to warrant a new name. 'Contract Bridge' was appropriate because Vanderbilt's system included rewards for declaring higher level contracts (bids that won the auction) at risk of failure. This new system swept the country and became the only game in town, as far as Bridge goes. There are several forms: rubber, duplicate, Chicago, party, Swiss teams, etc. etc. but they are all based on Vanderbilt's rules without a lot of change.
