{

Culbertson: The bidding by West demonstrated the decided superiority of
proper approaching as compared with the bidding by West in the other room. An
opening 1 Club bid permits a response of 1 Spade, while an opening 1 No Trump bid
with the border-line type of hand held by East leaves everything in the air.
The subsequent bid of 2 Spades by East after first passing over 1 No Trump
merely makes matters worse.\n

Culbertson: Not strong enough for a vulnerable NT. East should pass. He was
putting his head into the noose. A fine penalty pass. East is now ready for the
frying pan. But south spoils the whole show by his 2 Spade bid. Had South
passed, 2 Clubs would have been doubled for heavy penalty. There was no danger
what so ever in Souths passing since such a pass is forcing on partner not to
drop the bidding. It's a striking example of a loss suffered through inadequate
theory.\n

dashing NT. Retribution comes swiftly. Double by South result in a penalty pass by

Beasley: The interesting point about this hand is the fact that whereas in
open room Mathieson preferred the five-card suit of Clubs to open the bidding,
Mrs. Culbertson in the other room bid her fourDiamond suit. In both rooms the
natural response was 1 No Trump by South and then Mathieson had to bid his
second suit of Diamonds. Domville, having three Clubs to the Queen, and only two
small Diamonds, had to prefer Clubs.\n
We were three tricks down and the Americans, when Mrs. Culbertson bid her
second suit, which was Clubs, made their contract-eight tricks. \n

Beasley: The interest in this hand is in the play. There is a slight
difference in the bidding for in closed room the Americans showed their Diamonds on
the second round. It does not matter very much after North has supported the
first Spade bid by South, it is then obvious that 4 Spades must be bid. We gained
our contract in the open room 1 solely because East led the Ace of Hearts.\n
This enabled Domville to make two Heart tricks. In Room 2, Morris and Tabbush
made two Heart tricks and two Diamond tricks, setting the Americans one
trick. The Americans, however, could have saved this game had South put on the King
of Hearts at the eighth trick. At the ninth, his King was killed by the Ace
and he could only make the Ten. \n

Culbertson: A very subtle bid of 2 clubs in preference to 2 NT by North. The
hand contains no tenace of any kind. North want to be the dummy and get the
leads up to Souths close hand. Hence the bid of 2 Clubs and the hopes of
provoking the 2 NT response.\n

Culbertson: With such a master South should certainly attempt a slam. When a
choice is offered between two lines of play one a cross-rough and the other
establishing a suit on which to discard the losers the latter is as a rule to be
preferred. I this room North got hopelessly trapped in the quicksand of
cross-rough. \n
Beasley: We were content with a game call, and even this we could not get.
The Americans were too ambitious in the other room. \n

{

Culbertson: North quite properly proceeded to develop a long suit.
Unfortunately she chose a Club suit and made only 4 Hearts. North believed that the
choice of a suit was a question of a guess. Actually however, the following
inference pointed in favour of a Spade suit. When the King of Clubs was led from the
dummy West played the 3 of Clubs; it is reasonable to assume that West, who
could not have known that North would rough the Club, did not have the Ace of
Clubs.\n
Hence a switch to the Spade suit was indicated.  \n
Beasley: His hand is an illustration of the Culbertson 4 No Trump bid,
showing two Aces and a King-Queen, but it was misused, and misled Mrs. Culbertson
into thinking that there was a quick and certain trick in Clubs. As a result,
they were led into a 5 Heart bid declaration which was doubled, and very
unwisely redoubled. \n
