I ought to have supported my partner over Culbertson's 2 Spades, since such a support is never going to be taken seriously unless my partner has a huge hand. Failure to do so cost us a few points on balance. }|pg||nt||pg||

He cannot very well guess his partner with both Ace and King of Spades, and I think the grand slam should have come from Morris on the very first bid, |pg||nt|as even if his partner lacks the Ace of Hearts, there is a good chance of its being in North's hand and some other suit being opened which would allow East to get rid of his Hearts on the Clubs. Admittedly, however, the bid would have been a bit of a gamble}|pg||nt||pg||

Culbertson opened the Ace of Diamonds and followed with a little one after his partner's call with the seven. |pg||nt|This Mathieson finessed and Lightner then cleared the suit. Mathieson then led the Queen of Hearts which Culbertson refused, and then played a small Club up to his Queen which Culbertson took with the King and played a small club back again. |pg||nt|Mathieson won with the Ace and when the Ten fell on his right could more or less place Culbertson's hand as 4-4-3-2- and all he should have done then was to play the Heart from the table and let Culbertson win with the King. He then has to exit with his last Heart and Mathieson should play Ace and another Spade, when Culbertson is forced to lead the Club which he can win with the eight and run off the rest.

Six hearts does seem to suggest either the King or three little ones.  }|pg||nt||pg||

Had Gottlieb not had a very strong opening hand, suppose his Spades were four to the King, he would sure to have left two Diamonds alone, since it suited him, or he would have to guess very wildly in putting up one. However, no untoward result attended her first pusillanimous effort.
