WORLD OLYMPIC HANDS- The study of normal hands which have been actually dealt in recent competitions, with explanatory · re- marks on the bidding and play, is one of the boat means of improving one's game. The two following hands were played in the World Olympic Series. They should be dealt as shown below and the bidding studied bid by bid. Further study of the play of the hand will then show how closely the bidding is linked up with the actual playing of the hand and the certainty with which the specific bid is called and made.—or lost.
