 Today's hand shows one striking difference. (Courtenay gives only the East-West hands: I have sup piled the North-South) The prob lem is. how are East and West to bid after South opens with one dia. mand?
 Culbertson has always been du- bious about the safety of a jump overcall as the first defensive bid. The West hand In his methods calls for a bid of one spade. But Mir. Courtenay bids two spades. He remarks, ~Wlth two-sulted hands, experience las shown that 1t Is not advisable (italics are Courtenay's) to make 8 takeout double. as the bidding may get out Of hand be- fore the two suits have been shown"
