Seventeen tables of Winston-Salem Greensboro and High Point players took part in a two section local duplicate bridge tournament at Emerywood Country Club. The McKenneys of New York partnered East-West in the larger section but did not place in the top brackets. Winners in Section I included Mrs. Farrell Gray with Mrs. Jack Holbrook, and Mrs. Fred Bahnson with Mrs. H. Burroughs. Section II saw North-South and East-West winners led by Newton Farnell and William Holderness of Greensboro and Miss Virginia Frank with Sam Denny, respectively. A post-play lecture by Mr. McKenney highlighted card memorizing and praised Jacoby and Von Zedwitz as chesslike masters of the game.
