STEVENS United Stales Expert The Southwestern Open Tour- nameM held over Labor Day weekend was a success from several points view. In one of the largest tournaments ever seeri in this area, 8 1 players collected at the Hilton Hotel in Fort Worth from all over Texas, 'New Mexico, I a- homa, and Arkansas.

The players were exceptionally strong this year, and included the master, Kenneth Smith, and several experts, not to mention class A players. The youngsters are rapidly climbing the ladder, fighting the "old guard" for lop honors. Henry Davis of San Antonio, placed second, behind Kenneth Smilli of Dallas, with Max Burkclt, third, and Steven Jones fourth. Davis is under 18 and Jones is under 21. B.

Payne was fifth, Stevens sixth, with Louis Dina seventh, Dr. Leon Poliakoff eighth, Bill Janes ninth, George Smith tenth, R. Miller eleventh, and E. Bone (also under 21,) twelfth. We plan to have a series of these games and the annotations will be light so that more than one game can be presented at time.

FHEY It is amazing how often an astute declarer is able to place outstanding high cards simply by remembering the bidding or the opponents' failure to compete.

An apparently fancy play then becomes routine, much to the chagrin of the opponents and the admiration of the kibitzers. Today's deal, from a recent rubber game, provides a perfect illustration of how declarer could pinpoint every high card before he played to the third trick. Vul: E-W NORTH S. 5 2 H. 9 8 3 D.

A low diamond was fired back. West's ace captured Soulh's king, and after West cashed the third club, South won the diamond return. Declarer drew three rounds of trumps; then led the spade king. He was morally certain that West held the ace-jack of spades to furnish the. 16 high-card points lie needed for his no-lrump opener.

Therefore, the more a finesse of the spade 10 was bound to fail. West was helpless. After he won the spade ace, he was forced to return cither a spade from the jack, which South's 10 vould win, or give declarer a ruff and sluff. Can you see where the defense might have triumphed? If East, after winning the second club, had returned a low spade, West would have covered any card South played. Later, after winning the diamond ace, West would have cashed his third club and exiled with a low diamond.

He could then have sat back and wailed for his Iwo spade Iricks. However, quite a bit of clairvoyance have been required of East to make this farsighted return when the diamond p'oy looked so much more attractive.

Television makes your lace known, but it also makes you anonymous. Nobody knows your name, unless you're a big movie star to begin wilh." The result, for Binns, is a problem and a press agent.
