THE EVENING CULBERTSON WIS TO INGREASELEAD — i Lightner Aids in Taking Five of Six Rubbers for 4,965- Point Advaniage. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. December greatest swing of any session of th contract bridge world series left Culbertson and his new partner—The; dore A. Lightner, a scintillating star of his system—4.965 points ahead of Sidney S. Lenz and Oswald Jactby today In the eighth s 18 —The ! sion the Culbertson side won five of six rubbers and gained 4.555 for its greatest lead in points. It also went into the lead in rubbers won for the first time, having taken 28, compared with 26 for the representa- tives of the “official” system. Lightner is substituting for Mrs. Cul- bertson so that she can prepare for Christmas. He will be Culbertscn's partner again tonight and at the ses- slons next week—Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Saturday after- noon. He had a good run of cards and usually m¥.e the most of them. His technique, especially in play., aroused the open admiration of his opponents. Lenz and Jacoby' suffered damaging sets. They went down 15 times. once ' on & grand slam effort doubled and once on a’ bid of one doubled on which they lost 1.000 points alone. The 1,000~ point loss was due to a_strategic pass by Culbertson after Lightner had doubled in order for Culberfson to of- | fer his best suit.

NEW YORK, December 18.—Our total loss last night was 4,555 points, which Put us 4,965 points minus on the entire match up to date. We lost the first e five Tubbers, and finally succeeded in breaking through by winning sixth, The session was 2gain delayed by a short _conference. A number of afte:- noon newspapers had published a swatement attrib- uted to Dudley F.| Courtenay, in re- gard to th> match, which apparently did not meet with his approval. As soon as I heard cf this news I tele- phoned to Mr. Courtenay, wno aenied absolutely hav- ing made the remarks imputed to him by the newspapers concerning the 1-2-3 system and to which I had taken ex- ception. Because of this denial, the conference was of no consequence. Theodore A. Lightner, Ely's usuai partner in tournaments, took Mrs. Culbertson’s place last night. She will return during the latter part of the match. Lighoer is a great student of the game and his substitution will cer- tainly not make our task any easier. Lightner Plays First Hand. Lightner played the very first hand at three no-trump, after his partner had opened last hand with a club oid, and ! e siX, rather a good begin- ning, I hope this is not an omen of what is going to héppen to us in the future.

Lenz and Jacoby disagreed openly with each other. They went into private conference once because of Os- sie’s sets Bickering between opposing sides was negligible during play. but before the | session there was heavy verbal cannon- | ading. | It started with an interview given by . D. Courtenay, president of Brid Headquarters, Ind., sponsor of the “of- ficial” system, who insisted that the match was not a test of the Culbertson | and “official” systems. At first he was | understood to say Lenz was not playing the “official.” He withdrew that state- ment. Culbertson jumped at the opportunity to say that an alibi for coming defeat was being prepared by his opponents and that Courtenay was trying to de- | stroy the idol of the “official” system. No Little Slams Made. | No little slams were made during the session. Each side tried one. Lenz| went down three, Lightner down one. | Lightner took six tricks over book three times on bids of game or better, but re- | garded the slams as unbiddable in those cases. Lenz's slam effort was regarded by Mrs. Culbertson as due primarily to the opening intermediary two bid of the official system. Here is hand No. 306 LENZ (NORTH).

He holds $o many championships that nowadays the winning of one seems to add slightly to his air of studied bore- dom. A great deal of prominence has been en to the so-called ‘‘one over one” variation of the approach-forcing s tem and so my friends will be inter- ested in this statement issued last night by Mr. L e “I am delighted to play with Culbertson, my favorite partner bridge. “We are playing strictly the Culbert- h-forcing) system. Some- tem is called the ‘one over . stem. due to the fact that one of the fundamental principles of the ap- proach-forcing system is to start the ng verv low with suit bids of one nerally to keep them as low as ossible until the honor strength and distributional values are on the table E are precicely determ d plavers are under a misappre- hension that the name. ‘one-over-one system.' applies to a different system This i; Simply an attempt to convey a false impression that there are two dis- tinct systems, one called the Culbertson (approach forcing) and the other the so-called ‘one-over-one’ system. Inas- much as it happened to be I who orig- ted the name and the fo aria- ‘one over one,’ the absurdif of ims is all the more apparent My partner bore the lion's share of the burden of the attack last night.

The first grand slam bid of the match so far came as the result of a penalty double, Our opponents had bid six no trump after a psychic unofficial opening heart bid by Mr. Jacoby, the results of which were disastrous. It was not the first psychic bid by our opponents, but il certainly was the most psychical. As the reult of it, our able opponent, Mr. Lenz, finally arrived at a six no-trump ! which I doubled.

West now showed his second suit with two dia- monds, while I assisted the clubs to three. After a pass by East, Jacoby took a gambling chance by bidding three no-trump. He had the spades well stopped, of course. He counted on me for the ace of clubs, which would give him six club tricks, and as hearts and diamonds bid by West had never been assisted by East \e thought I might have the stoppers in these suits. Culbertson, wisely refrained from doubling, knowing he had the hand set badly, but after my pass Mr. Lightner came to our rescue and dou- bled three no-trump. After this “waving of the red flag” my partner of course went to four clubs, which was set one trick.
