Good, bad and indifferent players alike have for the past few years indulged in the slightly sane pas- time of bidding a worthless suit to stop the lead of that suit against an eventual three notrump con- tract Naturally, an alert defen- sive player is always awart of the possibility that his opponents' bids (particularly in minor suits) may not be entirely honest, and accord- ingly these psychic bids frequently prove a boomerang.
On to-day's hand the South player arbitrarily decided that he

He further decided, however, that the mere fact that he opened the bidding with one of that suit would not prevent either of his opponents from opening it if they had any desirable holding in it. He accordingly adopted the most unusual procedure of not only rebidding a worthless doubleton suit, but making a jump rebid.
