CONTRACT BRINE ••••••••.• In the early days of contract bridge psychic bidding was somewhat preva- lent, but time and improved defensive tactics have proved this to be an un- profitable diversion. Nevertheless an occasional psychic bid can be effective, as was so with the following hand: East dealer. North and South5V3ulnerable. iw 7 2 3 K j7 • 8 4 -4.

Almost as regularly it was defeated by the normal opening lead of a club, the defenders winning three tricks in clubs and two snore between, the spades and diamond suits. At one table, however, the bidding was; Ea South p‘aVsess t North 1H u 3C r 15 ass 2C (I Passpass '..a.assss S T pass West fell into the trap and opened with the four of spades.
