Top bridge experts, to quote a friend BETTY ™ by Delainey and Rasmussen
of mine, have egos the size of planets. '
And many make you only too aware of
it. But there are a few experts who don’t
blow their own trumpets. One made
from this mold is Norman Kay, of
Philadelphia. You would have to travel a
long way to find a finer gentleman and
better bridge player.
Kay declared today’s deal while win-
ning the 1986 Vanderbilt Cup with
Edgar Kaplan, Bill Root and Richard
Pavlicek.
North, Kaplan, opened with a weak
no-trump, showing 12-14 high-card
points. Kay’s three-spade response was,
of course, game-forcing. They don’t use
transfers in reply to a weak no-trump.
After winning the first trick with dum-
my’s diamond king, Kay called for the
spade king, which East won with the
ace. True, East should switch to a club.
West will take South’s king with the ace
and return a trump, defeating the con-
tract. But East played back a diamond.
Kay gave the defenders no second
chance. He won with his diamond aee,
ruffed the diamond eight with dummy’s
spade queen and played a heart to his
nine, keeping East off the lead.
Maybe this avoidance play would
force out the heart queen; or perhaps
the hearts would be 3-3; or, if all else
failed, East might have the club ace.
As you can see, the middle of these
possibilities worked out. Kay’s 10 tricks
were four spades, three hearts, two dia-
monds and a diamond ruff in the dum-

A FEW YEARS AGO,

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Try to listen
attentively today. Someone might say
something in your presence that will be
worth remembering and extremely useful
to you at a later date.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Financial
manipulation could be your strong suit
today. When dollars and cents are at
stake, it will be hard to put anything over
on you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Partnership
arrangements could prove fortunate for
you today, regardless of whether you are
teamed up for commercial or social pur- FRANK & ERNEST hy Boh Thaves
stei
or tightly structured today. You will
require mental and physical freedom.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You might
reap material gains from two different
sources today. However, cleverness and
street smarts will be required to realize

Saturday, Dec. 30,1995
In the year ahead search for new sources
that could generate extra income or earn-
ings. If you look hard enough, you’ll find
things you can do in conjunction with
your present activities.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your
place might turn into a popular gathering
spot today. Make sure to be prepared if
family members or close friends unex-
pectedly drop in on you. Trying to patch
up a broken romance? The Astro-Graph
Matchmaker can help you understand
what to do to make the relationship work.
Mail $2.75 to Matchmaker, c/o this news-
paper, P.O. Box 1758, Murray Hill

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Do not worry
today if you find yourself in an uncomfort-
able position. You will still have room to
operate effectively.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In order to
garner the greatest pleasures today, seek
people who don’t take life too seriously.
Interacting with free spirits will liberate
your psyche.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will not
be thought of as a loser today. If III winds
slam one door shut, good fodune could
open another before the day is over.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Several
ways to add to your resources might
become evident today. One will be slight-
ly significant, while two others may be
substantial.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Try to
make today one big pleasure break.
Focus on fun activities and do not permit
anything mundane to enter the picture.
