A natural squeeze occurs at the con- clusion of a hand when one of the de- fenders, who holds the vital cards in two suits, "jes nacherly" can't keep both of them guarded. In to-day's hand South, by simply playing out his cards, caught West in a squeeze from which there was no escape.

South China, according to reports, are not yet ready for their first game and are putting in as much practice as possible. It is curious though they should be allowed to postpone their games for this reason and this will probably result in teams having to play two games, during a week- end, later in the season.
