CONTRACT BRIDGE

{

By W. E. McKenney

Editor's Note: This is the eighth a series of articles by Mr. Me- Kenney explaining the one over one system for contract bridge.

To raise original bidder's suit bid of ong to two, partner's minimum requirements are, first, normal trump support.

Due to the fact that four-cord Bult bidding plays an important part in contract bridge, trump requirements for normal support are four small trump or three trump headed by the ace, king or queen.

Second, he must have some ruf- fing possibilities, holding either a aingleton or a doubleton, and at least a side ace or king. With only three trump headed by an honor, the aldo strength should a alde be either a singleton and king or a doubleton and a side

Aco.

A raise from one

to two can hardly bo construed as a con- structive bid. It is in reality a weak bid. It is quite true that It has some substance, or body, but the original bidder must govern the future bidding on the basis that partner may have held a minimum response. It is classed as one of the algn-off bids,.

• +

дво

To raise an original suit bid of one to three is another of the im- portant bids in the one over one system, First and most impor- tant, it is a forcing bid. For partner to make this bid, he is re- quired to hold at least normal trump support and two to thres high-card tricks on the side.

The quick trick requirements do not play an all-important part In supporting bids, Distribution, ruffing possibilities, the length of a side sult, and how quickly I can be established must be given equal consideration In valuing the hand.

In provous article I explained that with normal support in the original bidder's suit, and tenace positions in the side suits, partner could bid two no trump to show that his hand could play the no trump.

By jumping an original suit bid of one to three, you now force the original bidder either to bid three no trump or four of his original wuit.

It seldom pays for the original bidder to show a second sult, cs- pecially if the first suit agreed upon is a major, unless he is do- ing so for the purpose of trying to arrive at a slam contract; therefore when partner supports the original bidder's suit to three, he is slating that if the hand fa to be played at ne trump, part- ner's hand can anfely become the dummy.

*

However, the jump from one to three does not necessarily mean that partner is going to allow the hond to played at no trump. If the original bidder now responds with three no trump and partner feels that his hand is better played at a suit than ut no trump, he should take the contract to four of the original bidder'à suit.

This brings up the question as to why partner does not imme- diately take the contract to four of the original bidder's suit.

A raise to four over an original suit bid of one shows tremendous strength and is a alam invitation bid. It may be made only with hand containing three and one- half to four high-card tricks. In addition it requires more than normal trump support-the sup- port now required is four trump headed by a queen, three headed by king queen, or five small.

Breathe Freely! Use MENTHOLATUM

Don't wait for a second sneeze! When that snuffy, stuffy feeling in the nose tells you a cold is com ing, put MENTHOLATUM in the nostrils. Its cooling freshness quickly clears the nasal passages.

Rubbing the throat and chest with MENTHO LATUM often averts the danger of other com plications. Insist on MENTHOLATUM and always carry it with you. It comes in jars, tins and convenient, tidy tubes.

IT is with the greatest pleasure P. & O BRITISH-INDIA APCAR AND

that I write to testify to the benefits I have received by taking Phosferine during my training for the 1931 Malayan Weight-Lifting Cham- pionships.

As I had to reduce some seven or eight pounds off my normal body- weight in order to enable me to compete in the 9-stone class, I had to go into very strenuous training, and with the help of Phosforing, I not only won the championship of that class, but also tho individual Championship, and, in addition I broko, British Record.
