CONTRACT CONSIGNEES NOTICES. CONSIGNEES' NOTICE. P & O BRITISH-INDIA APCAR AND

BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

What should govern an original no trump bld-high card tricks, distribution or count?

Many players add their hand up mechanically, counting so much for an ace and so much for a king. While I have no serious objection to that mothed I don't believe that bridge is a mechanical game,

I believe that every bridge hand presents a now problem and you must analyze it from many differ ent angles-not from just one.

If you base your bids entirely on high card tricks, then you are not getting the greatest thrill out of every contract hand.

Contract's great popularity is due to the fact that it can utterly absorb one within its interests. The more you try to get out of the game the more you will enjoy it.

Let us take the above hand. has a lot of high card tricks. If we gave each card in the hand a count it would add up into tele- phone numbera.

Not only does the hand contain A biddable suit, but that suit is five cards in length-it has top cards- and is a major.

I presume that if a school teacher were ouw to ask you what you would bid on the hand, a large ma- jority would answer "Spades." However, I would differ with you.

Let us add the hand up from ab- other angle. If the spades break, we can make five spade tricks, and we are sure of two heart tricks and the ace of diamonds, which is eight. If we can get another trick out of the hand, we know that there is game in no trump.

What is the big advantage to this hand? Its tenace positions--the fact that you can force your left. hand opponent to lead up to your strength rather than through it.

Tho danger of the hand lies in the king of clubs. If the left-hand opponent opens a club,

This bfd of two no trump gives your partner a good picture of your hand. He knows that you have a five-card sult and plenty of high card tricks.

It does not discourage a try for slamit shows a hand so powerful that you are afraid to bid one no pass, even trump as he might though a one no trump bid shows a good hand.
