opponents suit and a no-trump count of at least as much as an original no-trump bid in a com parable position at the table. MEANING OF FOURTH HAND
 OVERCALLS
 As already explained, an overcall by Fourth Hand of an uncontestel I less -than-game bid of dealer does not qualify as n defensive bid. Such bid is purely attacking and an- nounces to the partner that the hand contains sufficient strength or defensive character to prevent the opening bidder and his partner making game. A fourth-hand bid must be we'll fortified for either att tack or defense, and must show a hand strong in high-card, tricks and distributed in two, preferably three, suits. The strength should be greater when overcalling a suit bid than when overcalling no-trump bid, because, when an opening suit bid has been made, the opening bidder may have a two-suiter. IT the bidding is kept open and he Is given an opportunity to show his second suit his partner may De able to support 1t and game bid req ched. Whereas, if the original bid has been one no-trump there is probably no suit to show.
 The minimum requirements for making an overcall bid by fourth hand should be guaged in terms of high card tricks only and, general ly speaking, should show as much strength as an opening fourth-hand bid.
 Preemptive Overcalls. (Exam- pie: South one spade, West four hearts) A preemptive overcall. after the opponents have bid, is valuable and strategical bid. The requirements are the same as with an original preemptive bid and are also dependent upon the condition of the score.

TORRNGTON

A much changed Torringtor
 football team will stack up against the strong Naugatuck team to-day
 here in Fuessnich park at 2:S0 Believing the huddle system which has been used throughout the sea.
 son, has caused many of the Tor.
 rihgton plays to fail because oi lack of speed, Coach Tracey Carey has eliminated this system. Fol the rest of the season, the quarter.
 back will cali the signals for all of the plays, furthermore, 1t Is be- lieved that by doing away with the
 huddle, the quarterback may call out signals without the advice .of every member of the team. Julie
 Gemelli, who was injured early this season, will replace Maurice Hoben as quarterback. Carey stated that Hoben is not fast enough and can not handle the ball as we'll as Gemelli can. An other startling change was made when Gerald Driscoll was put on the sidelihes. His position will be filled by Longi, who played center first and was then put at end, where he played an excellent game. It was stated that Driscoll was too slow and also somewhat light for a halfback. Longi's position at end will be filled by DeBrot, who was another of the injured members of the team earlier. Although the line is considered as being very strong, the backs up to date showed up very weakly. The new lineup. however, is expected to eliminate some of this weakness, although the backs will have considerable trouble stopping the Naugy for ward pass attack, because two of them, HOysradt and Gemelh are not very tall and will have to play a whale of a game to stop the tall Nangy ends from being on the re- ceiving end of plenty of passes. Although the Rubber Town grid sters will come to this town ex- pecting an easy victory, the reju- venated team which has shown up we'll in practice sessions, will put up a stan battle and will try to be on the long end of the score at the final whistle.
 Torrington's starting lineup has been announced as follows: Right end, DeBrot; right tackle. John Driscoli: right guard, Nevin; left guard, Benpamin; left tackle. Bre- dice; left end, Captain seiden- sucker; quarterback. Julie Gem eili; right halfback. Longi; left halfback, Hoysradt; fulIback, Ne- grl. The officiais will be: referee. Edwin Goodrich. Bristol; umpire, James shanley, New Haven; head llnesman. Dr D. A. O'Hara, Water. bury. The Torrington high school students are planning to turn out on masse to support the team and will meet ct the high school at 2 o'clock, where they will be met by the Boy Scout drum and bugie corns and escorted to Fuessnich park, where they will occupy re- served bleachers on the side line.

LESSON 6-CONTINUED Attackinr Oycrcalls

Attacking Ovcrcaiis Attacking Overcalls are made 1T five ways:
 i. Through the informative dOu' blc. This double is fully dis cussed in a later lesson. 2. By making a jump ovcrcalI that is, by bidding one trick more than necessary to over call the previous bid. 8. By Ovcrcalls in the opponents bid suit.
 4. By nO-truInp Overcalls. $. By fOurth.hand bids of any character over dealers ,uncOn'
 tested original bid of less than game.
 The strength necessary for the informative double is placed Il, about three and one-half lSh high -card tricks, distributed In al least three suits Cor count or la points, using the 4-3-2-1 counO.
 The strength necessary to make a jump overcall is placed at a mini mum of three (3) high-card tricks with seven CD probable tricks in the hand. With additional high card tricks the probable-trick re- quirement may be reduced. The lump overcall is not game-de- mand bid but is strongly invita- tional.
 The overcall in the opponents bid-suit, if your partner has bid is a game-demand bid, in fact it indicates slam possibilities. II shows general high-card strength Cat least four H. c. ID and usually freakish distribution. It guaran- tees control of the first lead of the suit the opponents have bid and adequate support for the original bid suit and Is one of the strong est of all bids.
 Some authorities prefer that this bid should show no losers In the opponents suit, and individual play CTS as partners may of course use the bid in this way If they prefer. IL is very pretty bid and the Official System, in allowing a little more leeway, provides greater opp0rtun- ity to use it.
 The overcall in the opponents suit, if your partner has not bid, Is usually made at low stages of the bidding and has a different meaning. It is a protection against psychic bidding and simply means you have a strong biddable suit that your opponents have probably been bluffing and that you are willing to play the suit. This is q new bid in the official System and meets with tremendous approval among expert tournament players. If made at higher stages of the bidding. 1t indicates a hand of tre- mendous strength and might be termed a colossal informative dou- bie. Partner must respond in the latter case.
 Many players will prefer to give this overcall the same meaning as when partner has bid, and 1t Is purely . question of individual preference.
 The overcall of no.trump over n suit bid is m attacking bid. it shows at least two shoppers In the
