Playing Routine, Textbook Manner
Unsuccessful Against Experienced Player

’ Playing against players who are better than you
are, it;is sometimes winning practice to make bids,
leads dnd plays which are out of the’ ordinary and
which dre inclined to put your opponents on the spot
for a crucial decision early in the hand.

If you play in a completely
routine,*texbook manner, your
more sk{llful and more exper-
ienced opponents will probably
outplay You in the long run. But
even the great Mr. Champion,
for example, cannot see through
the backs of the cards and, if
put to a tough guess early, is
just as likely to guess wrong as
anyone else.

Of course every hand will not
lend itself to this treatment and
I.am not-yrecommending that you
throw all caution to the winds
and lead any card at random in
the desperate hope that ‘some-'
thing will happen.” You've still
got to pick your spots.

In today’s hand it was Mr.

" Dale’s opening lead. Before tetl-

ing you;his choice, look at Mr.
Champion’s prospects. He has to
lose one“heart and one club. If
Ke can finesse successfully
against ‘the queen of spades, he
has just..one spade loser.

But Mr. Dale’s opening was
the acevof spades. He followed
up with™ the deuce of spades—
and Mr.:Champion had a hard
decision":to make at trick two.
Is it common to lead the ace
from A:Q 2 against a suit con-

His lecture was ‘delivered on the
the way you find him.

It started at his studio office,
where he spoke of passing cele-
brities out the window in be-
tween phone calls to France,
England, Hawali and New York.
Then he drove his convertible to
the Beverly Hills hotel, where
he showered, shaved and dress-,
ed before dashing off to MGM.

The matter of economics arose
from a printed report that his
take from “Around the World. 1n
80 Days” is $460,000°a week.

Absolutely false, he said. The
figure is much too low.
