The Bidding

At contract the bidding would be
opened with club. North would
respond with one diamond and
South then would go to one no
trump.
North would be justified in jump
ing to four no trump. If one felt
bold, one might try five no trump
with the South hand, but it would
be very optimistic bid.
At auction, it is question
whether to open the hand with a
club or one no trump. The hand
has an ideal no trump distribution
and two aces and most tables did
open the hand with one no trump.
West passed and many auction
players with Norths hand would
bid two no trump to show strong
hand and inform partner that he
could stand any suit takeout.
The Play
There is neat play in the hand
for six odd with South playing the
hand at no trump. West opened the
five Of hearts. This trick was won
by South, the declarer, with the ter
of hearts.
South's next play was a small
spade which East won with the ace
returning the deuce of hearts. De-
clarer went right up with his ace.
He then led two rounds of spades
West discarding two clubs.
Declarer then started the club
suit-first the ace from dummy
and then small club winning in
his own hand with the queen.
West dropped the eight of hearts
South led the king of clubs, West
played the jack of hearts and North
and East followed.
The declarer now led his last club
and West was helpless-if he
dropped the king Of hearts, dummy's
queen would be good, while if he
dropped one of his diamonds, de-
clarer then discarded the heart from
dummy, led his ace of diamonds anc
then discarded the heart from dunn.

A small slam was made by the

In this book Mr.. McNally presents
us with the Knott family, holders of

Cestle-like home along the Missis-

There are five whose actions COM

Sons and two daughters.
One9 son is a profligate idler, the
other is a working but utterly
incapable nincompoop.
One daughter has a religious
mania and let's the world wag as ii
will, content to wrap herself up in
dreams; the other is a hard, brittle
creature, who never has learned how
to govern her temper.
These five, among them, contrive
to destroy their heritage. The bulk
of the estate vaniShes through the
weakness of the mother.
That which remains, disappears
because none of the children has
any idea how to save it. In the
end, nothing of the familys great

CARBON DEFEATS
ROUNDUP ELEVEN
Game Won in Second Half
10 to IL. After Weak
Starting Play

After overcoming a bad case of
buck fever in first half of the
game with Roundup High at the
rodeo grounds Wednesday after
noon, the Carbon High football
team smashed out q 10 to IL VIC
tory, keeping the first seasons
record clean.
Roundup scored twice early IN
the game on plays that were con-
fusing to the less experienced Red
Lodge team. Carbon's three touch
downs all were made in the second
half, with straight plays that kept
the ball in Roundup territory most
of the time.
Using a number of delayed
bucks, hidden-ball plays and other
deceptive moves, the Roundup
men crowded the ball over the
goal line twice in the first quar-
ter, while the local boys played
nervously, blocked and tackled in
a timid way. Carbon's defense
stiffened in the second ~stanza,
and the half ended ~ to 0 in fav-
or of Roundup.
Gaining possession of the ball
soon after the second half opened,
Carbon got down to business. On
the 65-yard line, Sam Cartwright
cleared the line on a wide end run,
