of four hearts or should he have taken a chance and passed three no-trump doubled?"

First, a reply to the coin- ment about fights. We're Surry if our comments make it appear that Bridge fights are very common. We think most players have a very good time at the time and never ven- ture any but good-natured criti- cism. And we've seen a lot of very loud games in which all the fierce invective was just part of the fun. As far as we can see there's no harm In either type of game-it's just a matter of person-. al taste.

As for the hand, we think South should have passed three no-trump doubled. His hand was good for seven tricks, and game would be mads if North could contribute two more. If North had a wide- open suit, he would have "run" to tour hearts after the double; his gass indicated that the no-trump contract was not just a wild stab.
