Whatever glory the Lautensch- lagers get for winning one point goes to their lead-of man, George Gaugler, who went out in the last game and brought in enough marks to bring in the game and almost enough to cop the pinfall point. It was gallant effort, George.

fense on the part of the opponents to stop the slam.
 The Play
 East opens the five of clubs, which West wins with the ace. Now the carelesS West player might lead Q trump, hoping to stop the declarer from ruling any clubs. But if. he does this, East would have to play perfect defense to keep the declarer from making 0 small slam.
 If 0 diamond is returned imme- diately, the declarer is bound to lose another trick, while if the spade is returned, it will be won in dummy with the queen, East showing out.
 Now the ace and king of hearts are cashed In dummy a losing club being discarded by the declarer. A small heart Is ruffed.
 Declarer now plays the jack Of spades and follows with a small spade, winning in dummy with the king. The ace of spades then is played, picking up the last of the trump.
 The three good hearts then are led from dummy, but, infortun- ately for the declarer, he must dis card before East does. When he lets go two diamonds. East lets go a diamond and the jack of clubs.
 On the last heart, North must drop the ten of clubs, so East lets go the king of clubs and now all that North can do is to win his ace of diamonds and grant East a trick with the king of diamonds.

I want to see you right on one point in bidding in the construc- tive one-over-o system. You need not have one and one-half high card tricks to make a one-over-one response.
 Let us take to-day's hand. South opens the bidding with one heart. The hand is not strong enough for an original forcing two or three bid. West passes one heart. North does not have one and one-half tricks, but he does have distribution. He has a five-card major suit and Q four-card minor suit. It is true that neither is very strong. but certainly he does not want his partner playing the hand at one heart.
 Many players make the mistake of responding with no trump with this type of hand. and that is wrong. The proper response. if you are going to bid with this hand. is one spade, even though 1t IS q one-over-one call. It gives your partner true picture of your hand and is the natural response.
 With South's holding, he imme- diately should jump to four spades That four-spade bid is slam try. At the same time it says, Partner, if you have bid on nothing but five small spades, there is not much danger that we won't go game. and if you have additional values, there is a chance for slam."
 Of course it would take a very optimistic North player to want to do any more bidding with this hand. However, it takes good de-
