CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney Solation to Previous Contract Problem
Contract is a partnership gamo. Either you and your partner have a fine partnership: game or you sre at the mercy of each other if you try bidding only 18 cards.
pre-
As I often have stated before, the better players of the country co-day do not believe in emptive bidding. About all that pre-emptive bidding does lo to shut your partner out.
While I have seen an occasional hand win with pre-emptive bid- ding, I have seen thousanda of i points lost by players who have cried it.
Every time you rebid a sult, you must remember that it shows addi- aonut length. While you .may open with four-card suit, you should not rebid a suit of this longth.
A rebid shows at least five carda
—a second repid will show at least
six carus, and it the hand is reoid

It is surprising to see the num- Ser of players who got into trouble on to-day's hand.
South's original bid should be one 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 clubs before showing the spade suit.
North bids three diamonds. South shows a second suit with a bid of three spades 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 Piraeus.diamonds. Therefore, even though
South-does-not-have-a-diamond in- his hand, he knows that the only safe place to play the hand is in diamonds, Therefore, he should respond with five diamonds.
The hand is made easily at five diamonds.
