BANG!

One of our pet aversions is the over- call at the range of two with a sult which is full of holes. Every once in a while the unfortunate player who makes such a bld really, finds him- self' in trouble.

led the Jack of diamonds. South

West ruffed with the nine, ruffed again and now cashed his Ace of hearts, drawing North's one trump, whereupon his Queen of spades also became good and the hand was down five tricks for a loss of 1400 points.

Strangely enough,

though even had East, and West

been able to make four-odd defensively at hearts, there would have been a good chance that, left to themselves, they would have gone down at a game contract. Yesterday you and your partner (Merwin Maier) were vulnerable. You held:

ANSWER: Pass. While it is sible that three clubs may prove a less disastrous contract, more often than not you will be in even hotter water. You must trust your partner, who should know what he is doing when he makes a vulnerable overcall.

Score, 100 per cent. for pass, 40 per cent for three clubs, 0 for any other bid.

QUESTION NO. 205 Both sides are vulnerable.. dia are the dealer and hold:

"South felt that the fact that he had passed originally justined his backing in later. But West's double found him really in a defenseless state. The four of dia- monds was opened. East won with the Ace and led the eight of monds. Weat trumped and promptly played the Ace and 8 low spadę, Eist trumping, with the deuce-of haarts and now leading the Queen of diamonds

What do you, bid?. (Answer tomorrow.)

Poor South ruffed with the Jack. West over-ruffed and played another spade, which his partner trumped. East how cashed the Ace of Clubs and ❘ Inc.)
