high card tricks to make a one-
over-one response.
Let UB tako 'to-day's ́ húnd. South opens the bidding with one heart. The hand is not strong en- ough for an original forcing two or three bid. West passes one heart.

If you have additional values, there Is a chance for a slam?
Of course it would take a very optimistic North player to want to do any more bidding with this hand. However, it takes good de- fence on the part of the opponents to stop the slam.
