This is the fifth of . series of articles dealing with changes in the Culbertson System, as an- nounced in Ely Culbertson's latest book, "The Gold Book of Bidding and Play"
 Every time a bridge hand is play ed, 13 tricks are won and lost. Ac- cording to the "r,Iie of eight, about eight or 8 Ia of these tricks are won with aces and other com binations, each of which count one honor trick.
 Culbertson thinks so much of this rule that he devotes an en- tire chapter of his book to it. By the conscious or subconscious use .of. the "rule of eight" expert play CTS can fingre out when their op- ponents are making psychic bids.

of four spades was made for this reason. But when West doubled the six heart bid, he knew that his opponent had spotted the nature of the bid.
 South stopped and considered the situation. Hearts should be solid and, in view of North's raise, there probably were at least three club tricks available. These, with what tricks there were in diamonds. seemed to make no trump the bet- ter contract; it at least would pre- vent spade lead, or give South a trick in the suit.
 The six no trump was sound bid, if the the six heart contract was ufSound.
 Of course. the contract was made without difficulty. In fact, seven odd was easy, with the even club break, whereas six hearts would have been down one, with the na- tliral opening of a spade. Copyright. 1886. NEA Service. Incl

Many bridge players, once they have decided that game is safe and slam is possible, make a bid or two that is not exactly what 1t seems. That is, it does not show a suit, but is intended to prevent, if possible, an unwanted lead which might defeat the slam. Such bids are not always easy to spot, but when the defenders do recognize them, they genrelaly result disast- rously for the declaring side.
 The generally recognized defen- sive measure, in such situation, is to double, if third hand, to direct a lead through the "phony" bid. In today's hand, however, the declar- ing side found a way to turn defeat into victory by switching both dec-
