By Hal Brown
Oklahoma State moved into
sole possession of first place
chase with a doubleheader
victory over Nebraska while
runnerup Iowa State split a
twinbill with Kansas State.
The two Nebraska losses
stretched their losing string
to 10 games and dropped
the Huskers into seventh
place, only two games ahead
of the cellar-dwelling Wild
cats. The only conference
wins for the Huskers came
at the expense of Kansas
State in the opening series
of conference action.
Nebraska trails sixth place
Kansas by only one-half
game and the Jayhawks
come to Lincoln Friday and
Saturday for a three-game
series that will decide sixth
place in the standings.
Less Defeats
Oklahoma State and Iowa
State are even in the win
column but the Cyclones
have lost two more games
than the Cowboys. Iowa
State divided a doubleheader
with Kansas State Saturday
with the Cyclones winning
the opener 2-0 but dropping
the nightcapt 6-5.
The Kansas State victory
in the second game was the
first conference victory of the
season for the Wildcats.
Missouri and Oklahoma
virtually eliminated each
other from the race with a
twinbill split. The Tigers
won the first game 6-5 but

ON BRIDGE
West would over-raff; and if
South ruffed with the jack,
West was bound to get a
trump trick with the ten of
hearts.
The defenders wound up
getting a spade, two trumps
and the ace of clubs. Down
one.
East Discards
South could have prevented
this misfortune by making
some fast discards. If he had
looked ahead to see what tha
opponents were likely to do
he would have seen the dan
gerous if dummy had as few
spades as West.
After winning the first trick
with the ace of spades, South
must cash his three high dia
monds, discarding two spades
from the dummy. Only then
can South afford to lead tht
queen of hearts.
East takes tha ace of hearts
and one spade, but men dum
my is out of spades. More
over, dummy bis the king of
hearts to over-ruff West if
spades are led anyway. The
defenders cannot get a second
trump trick, and South can
draw trumps in safety to
make his contract.

What do you say?
Answer: Pass. The opening
bid of 2 NT is very strong
and highly invitational, but
not forcing. You need about
four points for a response
and should merely pass with
this one-point hand.
