no chance anyway.The opening lead was a heaxt to South'8 ace and a heart was continued to Sundelin'8 king,

on which he pitched a spade from dummy, Sunder realized 4Q wouM go off one trick sohehad to make X. With the Sundelin Mre fox the dramatic, he led a club to dummy and finessedthe eight. Now he went about his business of making his contract by pulling trumps and usingthe 4K to drive out the ace which he ~ed. Then when the 410 feil on the jack, he was ableto get rid of three spades on the clubs,

A large vu-graphaudience crowded the ballroom to watch the North America-ItalyVenice Cup match. These teams were the pre-tournament favorites to reach the final, sothis match couM easily be a preview of the final.

The teams lined up for the first 16 boards as follows," open Room, Dorothy Truscott,North; Emma Jean Hawes, South; Marisa O'Andrea East", and t.uciana Capodanno, West.

The first major swing occurred on Board 6 when the Americans got to a terableslam missed by the Italians for a 13-IMP gain,

That's all Gail needed to bear she leaped forth-with to the heart slam,

The defense got off to the CA lead, thea switched to a trump. Jacqui pulled another round,led a diamond to the ace and ruffed a club. Back she came to the 0Q for another club ruff.Next a spade to the king let her get to her hand to draw the last trump, When the diamondssplit, she didn't even need to guess the spades,

At the other table, O'Andr'ea also made six. Howevex,.the Italians stopped in four afterCapodanno Ynade only Gne move towax'd 818m,

At the othex table, Moss passed over theopening 14, so there was no pressure on North.Bianchi embarked on an invitational auction, andValenti said no thanks.

The fix st swing in the Italians' favox occurred on Boaxd 10,

At the other table, the defense started withdiamonds, so the Americans quickly had theirdefensive book. But when Hawes switched to aheaxt, Marisa diSdained the finesse.

Bianchi and Valenti rested in a comfortable8O contract, making four. The 4Q was led and wonin dummy. Valenti played the gK and when thatheld she pitched the VJ on the 4K. A club was led

from dummy and won with Johnson's king. Johnson crashed Fax ebs singleton king with her OA.It was the opinion of the vu-graph commentators that both sides had played and defended thishand right.

Capodanno and O'Andrea took a save against a major suit game that goes down so muchthat Moss probably would have been carted away in a truck!

Board 28 may have been a push board, but it sure generated a lot ofVu-Graph room. Six hearts had been bid and made in the Closed Boom.Dir; West 0 KQ 104 Moss ~Ca donnaVul: N-S VAK832 Pa 88 1 Cf

It was an exciting, interesting match, If these teams do make itto the final, it should be a thriller. The Americans won, 74-53, for15 out of 20 Victory Points. But it could easily have gone the otherway.

ommentaioxs Peter Pender and Peter Hankdecided, because of the 2O Flannery bid showing

four spades and five hearts, Mary Jane and Marilyn would not get to slam. Even when Marilynshowed a maximum by bidding 84 ov'er 2 NT, the commentators still felt Mary Jane would notgo, but she surprised them by bidding Q, a slam txy, Even then they felt Marilyn couldn't makeanother move since she had already shown her maximum. Everyone sat breathlessly, waitingfor the next bid. Marilyn bid ihe slam a different one, but one that made nevertheless.

In the other match neither Argentina nor Australia found the slam. They pushed the boardby making 12 tricks at a 3NT contract.
