By W. E. McKenney
Solution to Previous Contract Problem
Contract is a partnership game.. Either you and your partner have a fine partnership: game or you aro at the mercy of, each other il you try bidding only 13 cards.
As I often have slated bofore, the better players of the country .o-day do not believe fa pro- mpt.ve bidding. About all thả, pre-emptive bidding doen is to shut your partner out.
While I have seen an occasional hand win with pre-emptive bid- Jing, I have acen thousands of points lost by pinyeis - whợ đủy, tried it.
Every time you rebid ́a sult, you nust remember that it shows addi- ional length. While you may pen with a four-card hult, you hould not rabid a ault of this ength.
A rebid shows at least five carda
--a accond rebid will show at least
ix cards, and if the hand is rebid

a third time, it shows either seven zarda or, more likely, honoura.
Therefore, do not think that bid- ding a suit over partner's suit, even though he has rebid the same uit, is stubbornness. Make your bids intelligently and know when to stop.
EL la surprising, to see the num her of players who got into trouble on to-lay's hand.
South's original bid should be sne club-not two or more. North responds with a diamond, and with a seven-card suit and 100 honours, South is justified in bidding three lubs before showing the spade suit..
North bids three diamonds. outh shows a second auit with a bid of three spaden and now, when North bids four diamonds, South must realize that North's hand is of absolutely no value to him and that North needs no, diamond sup- port he has rebid them twice.
South's hand contains in-cards. North probably has nothing but diamonda. Therefore, even though South does not have a diamond in is hand, he knows that the ong afe place to play the hand is i Jamonds. Therefore, he shoul espond with five diamonds,
