The Bidding


 MT Karn sat in the North. His partner in the South was the deal- CT and passed. West bid one club. player in this particular hand did hand bids. With a pass from his partner, he reasoned that possi- bly, top score on the board would be no trump, therefore he wished to stop a no trump contract.
 Both sides were vulnerable, and generaIE to overcall, when vul- nerable, you are required to hold a five-card suit and about two and one-nalf high card tricks. Here he was with only one and one-half tricks and @ four-card biddable suit.
 It is true he might be subject ed to a severe penalty to overcall, but as he could overcall the West hand with a bid of only one. and his hand was so weak, he put in a bid of oen spade. If dou- bled, he could get out in hearts.
 East bid two diamonds-this is a strength-showing bid as 1t is G new suit, and made freely over an adversary's call. South passed and West bid three no trump. MT Karn then passed. East showed @ powerful hand by bidding five diamonds, but MT Karn's bid of one spade vulnerable had done its damage.
 West, who had bid three no trump on his four small spades. was now afraid of losing at least two spade tricks and let tho con- T H. In t&do nf course, the small slam was easily made.
 It was surprising to note, after looking over the scores of the IA tables which played the same tray. that not another vulnerable North player in the room put in the overcall of one spade. MT Karn, in explaining the hand later, said he realized that West was not going to play the had in clubs-that they were go- ing to find a better declaration-- and, in his opinion, he thought no trump would give them top on the board.
 If he could get in cheap lead directing bid, or bid that might prevent them from arriving at a no trump contract, he would re- ceiye a good score on the board. At every other table in the room a small slam was arrived at In either no trump or diamonds. If the opponents had doubled one spade, MT Karn would have bid two hearts, which would also have been doubled, but the hand can be played so as to go down only three tricks doubled for a minus score of 900 which would still be a very fine result on the | board.
 Proper timing of bids of this | kind is what counts. and one must be careful not to use them too ! often.

bL VIM H.. MChENN NEH Secretary, American Bridge League
 Do the good players, who are successful in winning cham pionships, always strictly adhere to the system they are playing? I think the answer given by Willard s. Karn of New York, one of the five outstanding bridge players of the world, to this ques- tion is worth repeating.
 He said, Docs good football team play mechanical football?" He further asked, When the sig nals are given for certain play, and the ball-carrier suddenly realizes that the defense has the hole plugged, but sees another opening on the other side of the field-isn't 1t good football for him to dodge through this weak spot and gain five or ten yards?"
 And 50, he says, 1t is in con- tract. Bid with your partner, but at times, when you are carrying the ball, and you see an opening, have the courage to do do the un- usual.
 He gives the following hand which he played recently in a New York tournament as an ex- ample.
