ON BRIDGE

Bidding Is Good, But Oh, the Play

By OSWALD JACOBY

THE

TIE bidding of today's handi but that's was very good, more than I'm willing to say for the play. South's opening bid of two no-trump showa balanced distribution, every suit stopped, and a count of 22 to 24 points.

North, with 10 points in high cards, knew that the combined. count was from 82 to 34 point Even though 33 points is usually needed for a slam, North hoped that his five-card- mult and his, two ages would be good enough material for the slain.

West opened the douce of clubs, wisely declining to lead away from any high cards, De- clarer saw that he had 11 tricks in high cards and that he could
