THE MICHIGAN DAILY i &E r terta inri ~Wednesday, September 15, 1976 Page Five WELL I DECLARE Ken Parsigian IF YOU ARE expecting a bridge column that starts off by show- ing you all four hands, then shows you the bidding, and then describes in two or three paragraphs how the hand can be made via a hexagon squeeze, then stop reading right now. This col. umn will never take that form. Technical hands are, great, if you always play with 3 other competent. players. But, if you are? like most of us, then you are often playing with a combination of good and bad players. In this column I will deal with these mixed types of bridge games, and hopefully bring a lighter touch to the often too serious world of bridge. As lo 'g as my imagination holds out, I promise you some' interesting hands and some hopefully humorous while definitely unorthodox ways of RECORDS IN REVIEW: Bas ie, et al: !Idt and sweet and often dips into the freer sprightly pace during "Back- aspects of improvisation.

I a f fai ]lia zxith hef DeJOHNETTE, a Chicagoan, has most recently concentrated on fusion material with his own music but has also recorded ex- tensively in freer settings. Although his guitar is electri- fied, Abercrombie rarely relies on its gimmickry aspect on this album; tone communication is direct and reciprocally inspira- tional with Holland's and De- Johnette's. Most often, Holland provides the link between the other two, for example with his The action picks up on Side Two, where Abercrombie pulses through his most burning solos in "Sorcery I" and especially "Unshielded Desire." His angu- lar lead style is most apparent in the latter and his interplay with DeJohnette the best the disc has to offer. Here DeJohn- ette, in addition to maintaining the rhythmic underpinning, sweeps through a wide range of tonal colors, and accents nicely an already thoroughly pleasing production. f f I ax floi fxoxrFULL AMNESTY . x x x x 4 x x X x Have a fir for ~xxxSx4uth artistic writinq? imi u n r South z sI you are interest- U music theory classes Our fifteen-week winter course in the fundamentals of music combines the traditional disciplines of harmony, counterpoint, form and analysis with an exploration of music history and the creations of today's avant-garde composers. In addition to the two-hour Tuesday evening classes, each student re- ceives a weekly private lesson. Here, the student may try his hand at original composition, develop skills in keyboard harmony, examine music of par- ticular interest to himself, or review material covered during previous classes. Through participation in this course both the informed listener as well as the pro- fessional musician will find their understanding of musical principles sharpened and expanded. classes begin September 21 the music studio 555 e. william 994-5404 Starts Friday-State Theatre E i Ax V A SA 4 K x ] K Q x x x Q J 10 I was sitting South, I told Bruce, and our friend Phil (whom we affectionately call Philthy) was my partner. Jim and Ann Marie were Past and West respectively. Ann Marie opened with a pass, and 1hilthy (correctly!) opened 1 spade. Jim passed, and I bid 3 diamonds. Philthycalled 3 he"- -followed by my 4 dia- monds, his 4 spades and then 4 no tri~-n' by me. Now I pausedI to think, while Philthy carefully counted his aces to respond to { blackwoqd. Due to some exceptional dummy play by Ann Ma-: rie, and some gutsy bidding by Jim, we were pretty far behind. Not so far that some sanity on Philty's part and some good play on mine couldn't pull it out for us, but far enough that I had to start considering other factors. The most important factor was time. It was 8:30, and I had a dinner engagement across' town at 9:30 (which I could lie and say was at 9:00 if I needed to leave). ONE GRAND SLAM would put us in the lead, and considering the time problem this seemed like the best hand to go for all 13 tricks. The only problem was what suit to play it in. Spades were unlikely, but both hearts and diamonds were possible. On the other hand, clubs could well be right. At this point Philthy finished his count and, nearly certain that he had 2 Aces, re- sponded S hearts. Now it hit me that clubs had to be right. Philthy had announced the Ace, and certainly had one or more, likely two little ones in that suit, since he probably held a dia-f mond void. But now that I had decided that clubs was the suit to play it in, I had another problem. To be sure, I could bid 7 clubs immediately, but would Philthv leave it in? Certainly not. A new suit at the 7 level! Impossible. Suddenly it hit me and, befgre Jim could pass, I bid 7 clubs. "That's a bid out of turn," Jim caid confidently.a Now, being a stickler on the rules, Jim informed us that my bid would be allowed after he (Jim) was allowed to bid. If Jim passed, all would go the same, and I would be sunk. But if he should bid, then my bid would count, but Philthy would be barred from the auction. Knowing Jim as I do, I felt sure that he would bid just to keep Philthy out of the auction, and$ (he hoped) mess us up. My faith in Jim was well founded, - which he proved by doubling. I followed with my mandatory 7 club call, and although Philthy stewed, there was nothing he could do. I was declarer at 7 clubs.I I HAD an anxious moment as Ann Marie pondered her lead (a club would have destroyed me) but in the end she trusted her clever partner's lead directing double (at least sheI thought it was lead directing), and led a heart. I was called upon to ruff just one little diamond with dummy's Ace of trumps, draw trumps, and claim. And still Philthy didn't realize what had happened.
