CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
A question frequently asked in regard to the constructive one over one system is, "What is the rule and guide for a third hand open- ing bid?"
As you know, in the one over one system, when you make an original bid in first or second po- sition, you are telling your part- ner that you have the foundation upon which to build for a game or a slam.
You have definite rebid values in your band. In other worda, you are bidding for your partner.
When both first and second hands pass, and it comes to you third hand, your partner has told yan that while his hand may con- tain as high na three quick tricks (and I have passed originally with a hand containing as many as four quick tricks) he doesn't have the type of a hand on which he wishes to start the bidding.
You are now in a peculiar posi- tion. If your hand contains little or no strength, then undoubtedly fourth hand has quite a few lick- ets and will open the bidding. If you can, get in a lend director, or any kind of a bid that may upset your opponents-even
psychic.
You know third hand is the; best place in which to employ n psychic, However, they never

hould be made unless you have a perfect "ont.".
In other words, in bidding third hand you bid against your oppo. nents therefore if you think that you have a hand that will upset the opponents, or have a good lead | director, open the bidding third hand and you will not get into a great deal of trouble.
In the following hand, North's soundest opening is one diamond. What should East do? Overcull with two hearts?
1 don't believe so. I prefer to make the informatory double, which is going to tell my partner that my hand contains either hearts or spades-possibly both- und it quickly tells martuner that the hand has some possibilities.
South will pass the informatory double. West-will-respond with one spade. East will then bid two hearts, showing his jurtner that he has no spade support, but that his double was based entirely on hearts and side strength.

"TAKE YOUR camera with YOU !”
Wost is justified in supporting the hetert bit to three. East can reason that his partner would not carry him to three hearts with only spade strength, therefore he either has strength in clubs or | diamonds or is short in one of
those suits. East has a good bid ning the second lead with the
of four hearts,
king.
The Play
The declarer should not try for the heart finesse, because if it South will open the ten of dia-fails-an it will-and South wlus, monds which North will win and he will return a heart which will return a diamond, declarer win. 'stop a club ruff.
FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS
The declarer should immediate- ty lead a club. When the third diamond is led, he can ruft, lead a club and ruff in dummy, return a heart, win with his ace, and then proceed to cross-ruff the hand out, making his contract of four odd.
