IGoren on Bridge

| ~ AkAS RopA ASNoS Va eS~~
bridge player is the ability to Wis
ualize partners possible holdings. A
great many players are able to form
a mental picture of partners high
card value from strength shown
during the bidding, but strangely
(enough, few are able to visualize
| the possible weakness of a partner
that has not voluntarily come into
the auction. This frailty becomes
especially noticeable when a player
acts upon the impulse normally pro-
duced by possession of very pow
erful hand.
The hand recorded today is one I
saw played some time ago in a 12-
table duplicate, and only one pair
obtained the ultimate out of their
cards. The bidding is indicated in
the above diagram and is worthy of
praise. At most tables when South
responded to the double with two
clubs, North jumped to four of the
suit and South, of course, was fully
justified in going on to five.
Two diamonds and heart had to
be lost and the contract was de-
I feated a trick At other tables, North
acting under the spell of the 100
honors leaped all the way to five
clubs and was doubled. Such a bid
indicates a complete lack of imag-
ination. North must never lose sight
of the possibility that South might
have nothing. He was forced to bid
and his response merely indicates
some length in the suit shown. That
an II trick contract was not within
reach against the opening bid, un-
less South held definite values,
should have been apparent to North.
The proper bid after South's re-
Spouse is merely three clubs. This
may appear to be a drastic under
bid, but in point of fact is actually
not so. There is an implied sugges-
ton that If South can stop the heart
suit three no-trump may be attain
able. 1t states, Partner, even II you
have nothing, I am willing to as
sumo a nine-tr1ck contract with
CLUBS as trump. Ii you nave any
values at all I'd like you to try for
game.
South holding a double stopper
in hearts should bid three no-trump
regardless of the singleton spade.
North's double followed by his sub
sequent strong bidding indicates
very plainly that he has some values
in the spade suit. The taking Of 10
tricks at no-trump was merely rou-
tine The same number of tricks
were available with clubs as trump
Remember, the doubler should
underbid. The responder should
overbid.

T axe Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
What's the Origin?

@. We are reading much these
days of third-party movement,
and reference to the ''lunatic
fringe is frequently made. Will
you discuss it, please?-I. M.
A. "Lunatic fringe" describes
those whose advocacy Of any cause
is so fanatic as to approach lunacy,
The term was coined by Theodore
Roosevelt. In 1913, in a letter to
the late Henry Cabot Lodge, he
declared, THE various admirable
movements in which I have been
engaged have always developed
among their members large luna
tic fringe" Also, In his autobicg-
raphy. chapter 7, he mentions "the
lunatic fringe In all reform move
mentS"
@. Has the character "&" q name?
j. G. D.
A. 1t is called "ampersand," pro-
nounced: AM-per-sand. Here is
how it got its curious name:
The character "&" evolved as
sort of monogram or sign of the
word ct, meaning and" 1t was
once considered as the last letter
of the alphabet, as, "' - x, Y,
z, g."
In olden days, now fortunately
past, toddlers on beginning school
were set to studying Latin (5 and 6
year oldsD. Even in learning the
English alphabet they were re-
quired to repeat the letters in uni
son thus: "A per Sc A. B per Sc B,
C per Sc c." etc. (Per sc Is Latin
for "by or of itself" Hence, "A per
Sc A" was the Shrdluvian method
of impressing infant minds with the
fact that A stands for AID
So the schoolmaster, stern
grabbed and scowling, would beat
time with his dreaded switch or
rule while the class, in it's timid
treble, would go through the Latin
lied routine, ending with "and per
Sc and" (& stands for "and'D.
And, of course, in the childish
singsong Of the recitation, land per
Sc and always came out "am-per-
sand"
1t was thus that innocent young
sters were awakened to the alluring
beauties Of English, thus their un-
certain and reluctant steps were
gently guided into the path of hu-
name learning!
