CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W: E. McKenney
Editor's Note:
This is the sixth of the articles by Mr. McKenney explaining the ono over one system for contract bridge.
Contrary to the general practico used at auction bridge, third or fourth hand, under the one over ons system in contract, may open on much less strength than is required for other first or second hand.
The third or fourth hand bidder is confronted with an entirely dif ferent situation from that of the first or second hand bidder. Part- ner has passed and he may have passed a very good hand, but one that could not meet the heavy re- quirements to make a first or sec ond hand bid. Therefore third or fourth hand should make what in known as a protective or defensiva bid.

Reviewing original suit bids of one, we find that the requirements for first and second hand bids are very strong, while third and fourth hand may open with an apparently weak hand.
The auction player taking up contract will frequently make the mistake of opening the bidding with what he believes to be a fair hand instead of adhering strictly to the requirements as outlined in this system. It will be found after playing contract a few times that no trouble will be experienced in passing fairly strong first and sec. ond hands while being prepared to enter the bidding on the Recond round, and bidding rather weak third and fourth hands either for protective bids or for defensive purposes.
*
*
In the one ever one system, only hands of exceptional strength are opened with anything more than an original bid of one, therefore it anturally follows that, due to the strong requirements especial- ly for first and second hand bids, partner may keep the bidding open holding very little strength. Partner should give the origi- nal bidder what we term a chance by replying to a suit bld of one
a bid of at least one with
as Httle as two trump holding queens or a king and a jack.
110
It is true that there are types- of hands that may be passed, but these are in the minority and at the start it is far better to keep all original first or second hand blds open with one no trump with as little as two queens.
Third or fourth hand vulner- able bids may be passed unless partner's hand contains a king and a queen, when a bid of one no trump should be made.
In the one over one system the original bidder may have opened the bidding with a very strong hand. The next hand passing shows certain amount of weak- aussi and while there are a few hands where partner may get into trouble by keeping the bidding open with one no trump, they are h the minority and more la to be gained by giving partner another opportunity to bid.
To-morrow we will take up the proper responses to original suit bids of one.
THE MAYE SISTERS.
AUSTRALIAN COMEDIENNES AT PENINSULA HOTEL
The large crowd which attended Saturday night's dinner dance in the Rose Room of the Peninsula Hotel were entertained by two Australian girla, "The Maye Sis- tera," in three plensing numbera.
These verantilo young ladies presented a comedy sketch, ""Tho Raw Reeruit" in a manner that: evoked hearty laughter. Their eccentric dancing and finally their made them firm tap dancing favourites.
Before leaving for Saigon to ful- an engagement, the Mays S18- ters will appear nightly at dinner Peninsula Hotel dances in the
Rose Room.
