Back fa
the keyboard
By Phillip Alder
Though you Haven’t noticed the hiatus,
now that my teaching schedule has eased
off, it Is time to return to the newspaper
column computer keyboard. And those
classes supply useful deals for these
vignettes. This week, let’s look at how the
responder should describe his hand-
strength to partner. Often, the first round
— for both the opener and the responder
— gives primarily distribution Informatfon;
more-accurate strength definition has to
wait until round two. Still, If the responder BIG NATE by Lincoln Peirce
has a minimum hand with 6-9 points, he
should try to tell partner that as quickly as
possible.
In this deal, North was right to bid two
hearts, adding three points for his single-
ton as he knew of a nine-card fit. North
should not respond one spade, which is an
unlimited response. Instead, he should key
partner to his limited strength.
How would you play in four hearts after
West leads the dub queen?
The careless dedarer wins trick one and
plays a trump. However, if East returns a
dub, suddenly South has four unavoidable
losers. One in each suit.
The more thoughtful dedarer realizes he
must do something about his third-round
dub loser immediately. So, he leads a dia-
mond (preferably a sneaky Jack) from hand
at trick two. West takes the trick with his
ace and returns another dub, but dedarer
discards dummy's remaining dub on a top
diamond. The loser count Is down to three, -
so it is rime to draw trumps.
When the responder knows of a nine-card
fit in a major, it is no longer a question of
what the trump suit will be, it is only a
problem of how high he should bid.

ly in the year ahead due to improved
material circumstances.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Being
allowed to make your own decisions
today might be of utmost importance to
you, yet this is likely to be a mistake. You
could be too singular in your thinking.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Left to your
own timetable and devises today, you’re
quite productive In your work. However,

annoyed that you allow your work to suf-
fer.
KIT ‘NT CARLYLE® by Larry Wright
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Should you
encounter someone today who has a very
dominating personality, don't get
involved in a one-upsmanship game, no
matter how challenged you feel. Stay
cool.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don't be
guilty of the same offense you so abhor in
others — throwing your Weight around
while being surrounded by those who
lack any authority.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) if you do not allow
your ego to dominate your thoughts
today, you won’t run the risk of feeling
you must use anger to cover up this
unnecessary facade.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22) Both you and
someone with whom you’re assodated
might be of the same mind today, hut it’s
one neither will like. Each could fegl they
are the giver and the other Is the taker.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 23) Should you
have to lock horns again today with an
Individual with whom you have an adver-
sarial relationship, don’t let things get but
of hand. Be the bigger person and back

scapegoat will be easily recognized by
your peers today If the brush is still in your
hand when you paint yourself Into a cor-
ner. 'Fess up to your mistakes.

competitive involvement with friends
today, the activity mustn't, be permitted
to take precedence over the relationships.

ambition when selfishly applied won't be
worth What they could cost you in
esteem, reputation and honor. Make cer-
tain your aims are not done at the

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-feb. 19) It could be
a humbling experience today should you
run Into someone who challenges your
smarts, so don't be a know-it-all. You
might have to back up what you say you
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Although you
might believe It to be so, your Image will
not be enhanced today by having more
possessions or a fatter wallet. People will
like you only for who and what you are.
