Forcing takeouts, ' that is bids higher -than necessary ttb bvercall partner, usually require three honor tricks or more. Such a takeout asks that partner keep on bidding at least until a game contract is reached. A forcing takeout on mere 'length alone, with out quick tricks, invites severe pen alties. The principle may be illustrated by a hand which, as played by Lieut Alfred M. Gruenther, well known tournament referee, resulted in a slam through the help of the de fense, good distribution and other factors. The lieutenant was a pinch hitter for a competitor who was tem porarily absent from the table. The hands: The bidding went: south one spade, west pass, north three hearts, east pass, south three spades, west-pass, north four spades, east pass, south six spades. After the forcing takeout Gruenther rebld his spades to show strength and when north indicated satisfac tion with spades as the make, the Auxiliary Plans To Attend Meet Practically the entire membership of the L.
