"Common Sento" Not Enough

WE all know bridge players who disdain "fancy conventions," in- slating that "common sense" is the key to every situation.

It would be interesting to see how these players would solve the problem faced, by South In the following deall

If South had not available to him a convention which insured that his partner would keep the bidding open until the best contract was reached, he would have been in a terrible. wonder what the advocates

of "common sense" methods would bid over the spade with South's hand? Surely they could not take the clairvoyant ylow that North had some club support but no heart. support, and jump to either a game or a slam in clubs. Whatever "stab bidding" they decided to do probably would be with the heart sult, and if they ventured as far as game in that suit they would be doomed to great disappointment. because, despite the tremendous strength of South's hand, not even four hearts could be made against reasonably good defense.

But all this worry about South's hypothetical trouble is unnecessary.

No

The fact is that South did have available u conventional bid that made guessing unnecessary,

His overcall in the opponents' culi, viz., two diamonda, was an absolute com- mand to North that the bidding must be held open until game was reached. North's response

to this cuc-bid is an interesting example of pure logic. North had to bld something with his interable holding, and knew that his three diamond bid could not be mis- construed. it WIS ли obvious message that he could not bid any

of his own suit

and that he had nothing but a long line of diamonds. It will be noted that after South had given his original command about keeping the bidding open he could go slowly thereafter. Thus, he bid only three hearts, certain that he would have another opportunity to show his club suit. "Over three hearts North again had to find a bid. and this time the only conceivable response was three notrump. The four club bld put a further burden on North, but, as a good soldier, he "went

along

and raised to five. There was no responsibility on his shoulders

for any of these bids. South went to six purely on his own decision.

Due to good breaks, declarer took 13 tricks. His real victory, however, consisted in reaching the correct contract.

GERMANS ON

THE DEFENSIVE

The Nazis usually send out only pictures of attacking German troops or pictures

of battle successes, but here is one that was dispatched to New York bearing the follow- ing caption, passed by the Berlin censor: "German, troops preparo a position to meet powerful Soviet tanks somewhere on the Russo-Gorman front." When oven Goobbals propaganda machine makes such an admission, it is a good indication of the difficulties which the German, armies have to face in this struggle with Russia.
