It was a mean trick Cousin Red- dy played me.

Gray Fox mtiied into the nelizli- borhood from farther south when his family before him had ai- ways lived.

One day Gray Fox got into trou- ble on a neighboring fzirni. lie

He can run just as fast for a short dis- tance, but he can't keep it up for so long. This is one reason that he often climbs a tree after a coni- paratively short run.

Takeout: of Partner": Opening 5

Q.

When your partner opens wit? I suit-bid of one. and you resp nd by bidding ii different suit or no- trump, you are making a. takeout. And, since there is no assurance of H. fit between the ' d

hands. as there was in the case lof your raising partner's suit, you must calculate your values on a Islightly different basis. Remem- ber, when raising partner, you not only counted your high cards (an ace at 4 points, a king at 3, a queen at 2; a jack at 1) but you added 1 point for every card over 3 cards in every suit.

For a notrump takeout of part- ner's suit-bid, count only your high curds.

For a suit takeout of partner's suit.-bid, count your high cards, add 1 point for each over four in the suit bid. and 1 point for each card over three in side suits.

Requirements for Notrump Takeout:

as a rule, a notrump takeout of partner's suit-bid of one, like an opening notrump, should be made only on hands of balanced dia- trlbution, i. e... there should us- ually be no singleton, and almost neyer a void suit.

A response of one notrump should be made with 6 to 10 points. with fewer than 6 points-pass. (Needless to say, the one-notrump response is not a strong or an encouraging call.)

The following represent minimum and maximum hands on which to respond with one notrump to Dal'tli('i"S one,-spade opeainr

With 13 to 15 points. and with no marked suit-takeout, respond with a jump to two no- trump. Inferentially, this bid an- nounces stoppers iii the three suits other than the one partner has bid, although there are occasions when the two notrump has to be risked with stoppers in only two suits.

A jump takeout of partners suit-bid to three notrump is not -contrary to a widespread mis- conception-a ”closing bid." The very idea is ridiculous! This three- notrump response shows from 16 to 18 points, and while it is not actually forcing, it would scarce- ly make sense for the responder to want his partner to pass if partner had about 1'! points of his own!
