THE Individual Masters Tourna-
Il ment wildly brought home the
fact that the one over one system
is destined TO become the standard
ize system of contract bridge bid
ding.
In this tournament, where twen-
ty-fve of the master contract play
ers of the country competed for in
dividual honors, practically no other
system than the one over one in its
entirety was used.
1t is true that other systems en-
ploy the one bid from which this
system gets its name, but expert
enced tournament PLAYERS realize
the many advantages this system
has to offer.
One of the points where it diff
ferS from other systems is that to
open the bidding first or second
hand you definitely must have a re-
bid.
In third position, a player is al
lowed to use his Judgment in open
ing the bidding2it may be with an
extremely weak hand or with
strong one.
A fourth hand bid requires about
two and one-half quick tricks and
support for the majors.
The following unusually interest
ing hand was played in the first

Contract Bridge

table was South pass, West pass,
North one diamond, East one heart.
South passed-even though he
held two aces-due to the fact that
his partner had made third hand
bid, which might be very weak.
West passed.
North then bid two clubs. The
showing of a second suit assured
South that partner held real
hand.
East passed and South then bid
two spades, which North carried
to four.
The Play
The opening lead in every case
was the four of hearts, which was
won by South, the declarer, with
the ace.
He Immediately led the ten of
clubs and here is where the inter
esting point came in.
If East wins the first club trick
with the king, there is no possible
way of stopping the declarer from
making six odd. Some ployerS made
the mistake of taking the king of
clubs.
Where East refused to take the
king of clubs, it takes skillful play
on the part of the declarer to make
six odd The hand must be played
as follows:
The ace of diamonds and then the
king of diamonds in dummy must
be caShed, The ace and king of
trump are led from dummy and the
declarer gets a fortunate break
when the queen and jack fall from
the East hand.
His next play is a small diamond.
East shows out, dropping heart,
and the declarer trumps and then
leads the three of hearts. trumping
in dummy with the ten of spades.
A small diamond then is returned
and trumped by declarer with the
eight of spades He leads the nine
of spades, picking up Vests seven.
discarding the jack of clubs from
dummy. East now must drop the
ten of hearts.
Declarer then leads the seven of
clubs, winning in dummy with the
ace.
He leads the ten of diamonds and
East is forced to discard his king
of hearts to win his only trick with
the king of clubs.

ASKS STATE AID
IN PURCHASING
TO FEED NEEDY
Prison Board Chairman
Urges Indiana Board Do
Buying of Poor Supplies.

John i. Norman, Knox, veteran
chairman Of the Indiana state
prison board of trustees, is in the
city today to unfold a plan for state
action on poor relief which he as
serts will save thousands Of dol
lars to taxpayers in local COM
munities."
Moorman's plan is to have the
state purchasing board buy food
supplies for those townships desir-
ing to take advantage Of the whole
sale price saving thus made possible
He is chairman of the state pur-
chasing board and said he already
had discussed feasibility of the plan
with Walter Rymn, state purchasing
agent, and obtained his approval.
Norman will lay the matter be-
fore Governor Harry G. Leslie for
final action he said
Origin of the idea came through
his son, John D. Norman, Michi-
gan City, who is a member of the
committee Of nine appointed by R.
G. Feeder, Michigan township trus-
IN Michigan City this winter.
They have genuine poor relief
problem in Michigan City," the
elder Norman explained There
are 1000 families that must be fed,
clothed and kept warm this winter.
That means a tremendous drain on
the taxpayers"
The committee of which my son
is a member has taken over the
Chamber of Commerce for the COM
missary. Arrangements have been
made with the Michigan City clear
ing house association to cash town
ship warrants so that money will be
available for purchase of supplies
I'VE feel that this money could
be more judiciously spent if pur-
chases we're made through the state
purchasing board. Michigan City,
or any other city or town, could
send in statement of their needs,
just as do all state institutions for
which we buy supplies.
The board would then advertise
for bids and let the contract to the
low bidder, the supplies to be sent
to the city freight paid. There
plenty of local help will be avail
able for it's distribution.
only persons not benefited by
such a plan will be those retail
grocers who are living from sales
made TO township trustees for poor
relief. But at this time the GOOD
of the many can not be sacrificed
for the benefit Of the few 1t might
be that some of these small grocers
would be put out of business, hut
that is better than forcing tax
payers to sell their homes to finance
poor relief
Norman predicted that a saving
OF one-third in poor relief costs can
be made under his plan.
