BRIDGE NOTES
Rule To Which There
Are Exceptions
by Ely Culbertson.
In the game of Whist they used to say that second hand should al- ways play low and third hand should play high. In Contract you will hear this ancient adage quoted; without a full understanding of what it means or should mean, As in matter of fact, this is another in- stance of the many cases where the word "always" does not apply at the Contract Bridge table. There are frequent occasions when a de fending player should play not low. but high, second hand, but in do- ling so he must, as in all other phases of the gume, have a sound and sufficient reason. Generally,
the sound reason for second hand a playing high against declarer's lead from either his own hand or Dum- my is a desire to conserve his part- iner's entry card so that it may be used after the defending side's long sult has been established.
It was a misapprehension of this Dances for a $1.00 wise variation of the rule of secondi Latest Song Hits, hand low that brought disaster in Beautiful Dancing a Duplicate game to the East and Partners.
