j. c. Eldridge, Baltimore. says,
Il have played bridge in Wash
ington as well as in Baltimore ana
have noted both in duplicate and
rubber bridge there is frequently
confusion and difference of opinion
As we'll as different action taken
when, during the auction, there is
a call out of rotation. What is the
rule?"
Unless overcalled or condoned,
call out of rotation is Cancelled and
the auction reverts to the player
whose turn 1t was to call. If the call
out OF rotation was a pass made
before the opening bid, or subse-
quently when it was the offenders
right-hand opponents turn TO call,
1t is Cancelled and the offender must
pass when next it is his turn to
cali. If the pass out of rotation
was made after the opening bid
and when it was the offenders part
ners turn to call, it is Cancelled
and the offenders partner must pass
when next it is his turn to call.
II the call out of turn was an
opening bid made when it was part
ner's or left-hand opponents turn
to call. it is Cancelled and the Of
tenders partner must pass whenever
1t is his turn to call. II the call
out OF rotation was bid other
than an opening bid made when
1t was partners turn to call, it
is Cancelled and the offending side
must pass whenever it is its turn
to call and on the opening lead.
declarer may require or forbid the

"Al" Camire. a local player, main
tains that some of the lead conven-
tioDs recommended to beginners are
wrong and frequently enable a de-
clarer to win his contract which
could be defeated by more or less
unconventional opening lead. He
had an opportunity to demonstrate
his theory on hand last week at
