Culbertson on trap bidding in five clubs contract
In Wright's 1941 analysis Culbertson notes that a vulnerable team should not trap a nonvulnerable one. North-South held five clubs, but North erred by trapping himself. A takeout double of spades would have let South bid seven clubs and led to a sound five club contract. The column includes a bidding diagram and commentary on ethical bush tactics and a real hand where the trap backfired. Barbara Bennett to wed Addison Randall in Hollywood. Randall’s brother Robert Livingston confirms the elopement plans in Mexico.
