Contract Systems.

In a passing goulash," how can
partners develop real cooperation in
the building up of each others hands?
Great skill has been acquired by some
partnerships in doing this. particularly
in the most popular form of passing
goulash, the 3-2-1 pass, in which the
partners first exchange three cards. then
two and finally one. The most important
factor is the signaling done with the
initial pass. BY choosing certain cards,
the partner can be told about the rest Of
your hand, what you wish passed to you
and what you expect to pass to him.
II the three cards passed consist Of a
singleton and douhleton, the singleton
is OF the suit you wish to build up and
you are asking partner to give you as
many cards Of that suit as possible. II
it is a Six-spot or higher, you inform him
that you have the ace Of the suit; If it
is lower, you do not possess the ace. The
doubleton cards passed to him should be
the highest cards you possess of the suit,
SO he may tell whether you are now out
Of that suit or have some more to give
him. Thus If one of those two cards is
the deuce, he knows he will get no more
of it from you and may expect to receive
something else on the next pass. If. how
ever, the lowest card is higher than the
deuce, there is chance you may give
him more. On the next pass of two
cards, il you continue to pass that suit,
you will give him the next highest ones
you hold.
Three cards of different suits passed
at once tell partner you have those suits
surely stopped and want to build up q

cards for entries and re-entries, both OF
you then trying to build up long suit
which can be established for string Of
tricks.
Three low cards of the same suit in
sequence proclaim a long, absolutely
solid suit, usually Of at least eight or
nine cards. Three of the same suit not
in sequence say your hand is weak and
holds no especially long suit.
If the next most popular form Of pass
ing is used, the 1-2-3 pass, the original
card passed is of the suit you want
partner to build; if it is high, the suit
contains strong tops and If it is low, the
contrary.
In a passing goulaSh,'' how does the
bidding differ from that in a regular
deal?

Kracke, the brilliant young Shakespear-
can actor, claims possession Of nothing
comparable to "woman's intuition" but

natural play of the ace, he took chance
with the 10. When 1t held the trick, he
promptly casfled his three aces and the

Others seem never to learn the value of
doing it. When playing rs declarer, they
continue to tell the same truths with
their plays as if they had a partner to

On the defensive side, false-carding is
generally fraught with danger. Mislead-
ing the partner may harm the side more
than fooling the deciarer will help it.
There is no such risk in the deciarer's
play, so he should hamstring the foe
whenever he can. If he does not get
away with it, nothing is lost. If he does,
he may gain handsomely.
Seldom does an opportunity arise to
false-card twice during the same hand,
and have each fa'Se card earn trick
which otherwise would be lost. Such
thing occurred recently in hand played
by Madeleine Kerwin, one of the most
brilliant players in the game. Aggressive
bidding by the opponents had forced her
to five spade contract en- hand which
meant rubber to her side. Here were

DECLARER

The decIarer can see at once that he
will fail to make game il the opponents
get the lead again and play diamonds.
Three diamond tricks plus the one heart
trick already won win make four, enough
to stop game He must therefore try to
make that defense impossible if he can.
The only sure way to do this Is not to
let them have the lead at all until he
has got rid of one Of his losing diamonds.
This can be achieved by establishing q
club trick in addition to his ace and then
discarding one of his diamonds on II.
That club trick may be established by
what is called "ruffng it np,' or trump
ing club leads until the opponents have
no more cards of the suit.
Declarer therefore should take the
spade trick, cash his ace Of clubs, and
then begin the ''ruffing up" by leading
little club He would trump it with a
high spade, lead back little spade to be
taken in dummy, repeat his club lead
for second high ruff, and again lead
a small trump for dummy to take. This
will exhaust the adversaries' three
trumps His fourth club lead, trumped
in his own hand, win exhaust the hostile
clubs He now can cash his king OF
hearts, discarding a diamond from
dummy, lead little heart for dummy to
ruff and then play dummy's now good
club, Ciscarding diamond from his own
hand. The opponents will get the last
two tricks. giving them a total of only
three, so that game is assured.

perience, as well as told of notorious
Juvenile offenders of other days not
equaled in this.
