If the opposing strength is divided, a pre-emptive bid may keep the lopponents from entering the bidding at all; or, if they do enter the bidding, from reach- ing the high contract which their cards-justify; or, if they get high enough, from playing the hand in their best suit. If instead of being divided the opposing strength is concentrat- ed in one hand, the strong jopponent is likely to contract for a Slam, gambling that one jor more key cards are in hisi partner's hand- Of course, if his partner does not have these. cards, a penalty will be, incur- ired.

opponents reached a Slam con-
