This hand might have passed into

recognized as an expert IN the play

changing the declaration which gave
the oppoI ents further opportunity for
expression, and finally led TO their
success is therefore not above sus-
picion. He evidently wished TO play
the hand
In this particular hand, however. we
can see little reason on Vests part
for taking a needless risk to demon
strate aptitude in handling the cards.
The prospect for game should not have
appeared allurng in view Of the cards
he held, Notwithstanding his ability to
get the utmost of possibilities IN the
play Of the hand. The strength he
held, and that of his righthand adver-
sary Gnferable from his bid. should
have given him ample assurance that a
possible laundering partner would have
lit.lc strength upon which to base any
other declaration.
In the above hand the violation Of
the safety rule was perpetrated by sec
ond hand player, and there is always
the remote possibility that the fourth
hand would hold some strength 20
cover up the violation. But a viola
tion of the rule by fourth hand in like
position has even less excuse. In the
following hand, played at a local club
recently, is illustrated the bad judg-
ment Of fourth hand player violating
the safety rule.

imagination.
At the score the hand presented an
entirely different aspect. Motives for
declaring in North's position could not
be attributed solely to a desire 10 gain
an end usually associated with the dec
laration named. A declaration from
North should be viewed in the light of
that players recognition of the dan
gerous state of the score and his ear
nest attempt to block the opponents
path consistent with the means he pos
sessed. Such means, or strength, was
not necessarily Of the kind ordinarily
looked for in an original bid. and
should have been so regarded when
South was called upon to consider the
advlsability of naming his major suit.
The overcalling no-trump should have
substantjated thoughts Of inferior
strength in North's hands.

West opened with the deuce Of dia-
