ANSWER: Your correct opening bid is one spade. With a reasonably good five-card suit and a High Card Value of 8. (3 quick tricks) the hand is too strong to pass. ...
Score 100% for one spade, 30% for pass.

Although they suffered defeat, their play for the greater part of the game was mort satisfactory and they succeeded in giving the opposing backs quite a lot to think about. On many occasions they were quite near scoring but finished badly.
In defence, Saxby and Russell, both com- bined so well that their opposing forwards were rarely able to break through, while the goalie, Dobson, was very steady.
Croston, in the pivotal postton, was very impressive in checking Club attacks and in distributing good short passes to his own forwards, but he did not receive sufficient support from his wing-halves,
Bond, right back, and Benwell, between the sticks, did fairly well.
THE PLAY Y.M.C.A. opened the scoring in the mid- dle of the first half through Divett, who converted a short corner. Thereafter the game lost much of its interest, as both sides fell away.
During the later stages of the second half, but Sappers broke through several times were repulsed.
Fowler, netted the final goal from a good short pass from Carey, right-half, just be- fore the end.
