Inc no-trumper has nothing better than the
queen IN spades, IS your partner would not
tart with a frec bid in a suit only queen high
and must have the ace
Going step further, there is no such a
thing free bid in spades with a suit headed
by only and jack no matter how lone the
suit may be. unless there is at least enc c,licl,
trick, an acc, or 4 ]ling-queen suit. somewhere
else in the hand. Failing this support the
spade is a secondary bid, not free bid. This
being SO, it becomes your duty to guess al this
sdc suit, 50 as to get your partncr in to come
through that guarded queen of spade.
But, you say. the persons 7 play with arc

they Will call a spade if they have six Of them

The answer is, nothng With such partners

ROOM FEBRUARY 22nd WAS AN
UNUSUAL SUCCESS

Those who were not on hand
at seven sharp or before, found
themselves fated to wait for Sec

great on the occasion of the BAN
quet served by the Catholic peo-

We do not know the exact num-

The menu was splendidly
substantial and appetizing one,
starting with an oyster cocktail,
followed by fried chicken and
all accessories, and tipped off
with brick ice cream. all to the
music of the Yale Orchestra and

the National colors Of red, white

His introductions and brief
speeches were witty and to the
