The Bidding

In practically every case South. the dealer, opened the bidding with four hearts. This is pre- emptive bid showing partner about
 eight playing tricks and no de- fensive strength. To accomplish It's purpose pre-emptive bidding should be made high -eunotaoinu should be made high enough to shut the opponents out in the majority of cases. It clearly states to partner that you expect to go
 down two tricks if his hand is trickless, but a twoltrick sacrifice is well worth when your your opponents have a game in heir
 hand.
 After the four-heart bid, West was confronted with quite prob lem. At several tables. West
 overcalled with five clubs. using South were now to bid five hearts,
 West could then bid five spades.
 But the better reasoning in the writer's opinion is to bid the hand the following reasoning-if South were now, to bid five hearts. West could then bid five spades. But the better reasoning in the writer's opinion is to bid the hand five
 spades over South's four hearts. You are quite positive that there are five spades in the hand. By
 Jumping South's bid with a bid of one more than necessary you are invitin 8 slam.
 North should not double the five spades even though he; holds the ace of spades and the ace-king |of diamonds because he should |properly reason that West cer- ltainly would not bid five spades when bid of four spades could I,be made if there was much chance |lof defeating the contract. Don't make 8 business double in con- Itract unless you are absolutely Icertain of defeating the contract
 because only too often your op- |pOnents will re-double and if they
 make 1t the odds are very much in |their favor.
 Now with the East hand 1t is rather difficult to. ask East to go Ito six spades over the bid of five Ispades, but if he would reason the hand out well enough he would l see that partner has made g. bid tof the spades when four could have been bid. If he can do that without the king of spades. cer- Etainly that king Of.spades is worth an extra trio Here Is a case where you can inteiligently give Eyour partner. support without, any Itricks-just the one missing card
 that you know will produce the needed extra trick for a small Islam. (
 If East takes the hand to six
 spades, again North should not
 double. 4 It looks as though you
 are bound to make the ace of dia-
 monds and the ace of spades. but
 your partner has bid four hearts,
 warning you that there is an un-
 usual distribution in the hand. He
 has told you that ,he has no de- fensiVe strength and you should

His idea is to make Rome "a marvel to all the people of the world" He has instructed architects to free the majestic temples of Christian Rome from profane and parasitic buildings because the millenary monuments of our history must rise gigantic amid the necessary solitude."

WORCESTER, Mass, July You

choice here today as the nine finest
crews in the United States pre-
pared to dig their oars in the placid
waters of Lake Quinsigamond in
quest of the right to represent this
country in the 1882 Olympic games
at Los Angeles.
Four races will be rowed today
reducing the field to four. Two
races Friday and the field will be
narrowed down to the to who will
clash on Saturday.
California, thanks to it's over
whelming victory at Poughkeepsie
in the Intercollegiate, is favored to
reach the final bracket, although the
Poughkeepsie affair was over four
mile course, while the Olympic
trials will be contested over route
that calls for 1000 meters.
That is just shade under a mile
and quarter, and what a whale
of difference it makes. California
is blessed with tremendous power
But the Golden Bears may not be as
effective in a sprint.
Plenty of the old river dogs
around here like the Penn A. G.
boatload. Others favor Yale, or
Syracuse, Princeton, Harvard, Cali
fornia Junior varsity, Washington
and Columbia grads.
In short, it looks like an open
race.
