BAA Spring Show Praises And Pans Mixed Exhibition

The piece notes the show serves as a gateway for future jury selections and concludes the event is a jovial artistic fete.

Sheinwold on Ruffing Tricks in Bridge Defense
In a bridge discussion Sheinwold argues defenders should pursue the correct ruffing tactic in the right hand. He recalls a national team victory when opponents chose a flawed ruff. East wins a club ace, returns a diamond seven, a misplayed sequence, and West takes the diamond ace returning another diamond.
Ruffing Trick In Right Suit and Hand
Bridge notes discuss a defensive ruffing trick that failed for East, leading to South drawing trump and declarer setting spades. East's diamond lead on the second trick was dubious, and the defense could not ruff in diamonds. The expert discussion mentions bidding and spade length implications and offers a bridge problem with spade six high. Also a Hollywood item notes Senta Berger signing with Columbia and a Major Dundee role.
