. McKENNEY oN BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY American Card Authority

Tn discussing the weak no trump Waldemar von Zedtwitz points out some experts do not like the weak no trump, especially when vulner- able, because the left-hand oppo- nent may double and the right hand opponent leave the double in and the hand might go for quite penalty.
 Won Zedtwitz points out that if the left-hand opponent doubles, it may be difficult for the right-hand opponent to pass, as he will feel he should show his best suit. Fur ther, the original no trump bidder can always take himself out, or the loss may not be a loser
 Here is an interesting situation that came up on hand in which the weak no trump was employed. South's bid of two clubs was made simply to keep the bidding open in case North had c suit suitable for rescue. West made 6 cooperative double and East was happy to pass.
 South now tried the diamonds and West doubled on his own cards, But when South desper- ately tried the hearts, West got the idea that South was trying the "oid army game" - making several fake bids with q long strong heart suit in reserve. 60
