Hollowing are examples ol jump overcalls where the level that the suit is shown is one higher than necessary'. SOUIH WISI NOK'IH 1'AS'l' i • .•»:•<* i * '+ < • > V I * p.lvv I • .'».••! + i + \ p.,« i *' \i * < • > V When the |ump oveieall over an opponent's bid is usetl to show a strong hand, the expected range ot strength is a strong six- m seven-card suit and'about 15-17 high-eaid points. With an even sliongci hand, the usual procedure would be to make a takeout double and then bid the sun, perhaps with ;r |ump bid. depending upon the strength ot the hand, alter parlnei's icsponse to the takeout double In recent years, most playcis have changed the meaning ol a pimp ovct- call over an opponent's hid to show a weak pieemptive hand lathei than a stiong hand as described above. I he iee|uiremenls loi a weak jump oveieall can hi very wide langntg. but a disciplined partnership usually ex- pects to have a hand that is the equivalent ol a weak (wo-bid. d-12 lugh-caid points and a six-caul oi possibly a seven-caid suit PEANUTS Many players feel that 10-12 fiigh- card points is too strong a hand to be making a weak Jump overcall and instead make a simple overcall. Their range for a weak jump overcall is approximately 5-9 high-card points. Other less-disciplined partnerships trcquently make weak jump overcalls with five-card suits, but this treatment cannot be condoned as it is far too dangerous and could easily result in an expensive penalty. 1 he weak jump overcall has been almost universally accepted as a comeistone ol most modern bidding systems. It occurs with much grcatei Ircquency than the strong jump over- call and is a valuable delensive weapon. . judicious use ot the weak jump oveieall prevents the economical ex- change ol inlormalion by your op- ponent at a low level by using up some ol then bidding room. A weak jump overcall is similai to a preemptive bid made belore any othei player has bid. •\ weak lump overcall skips only one level ol bidding, as shown in the above examples, II a delendei has gieatei playing strength, eithei because the strength ol his suit is veiy good or he has an exlia-long suit 7, 8 oi s> cards in length he may decide to make a preemptive bid that skips two, lluee oi even lour levels ol bidding in an attempt to make things as dithciill as possible lot the opponents High- level preemptive bids that prevent youi opponents liom exchanging inhuma- tion aie essential weapons in the delensive aisenal 1»ISJ l imrrsal Press Swiilkau- C|p ARIES (March 21-April 20) Go ahead and give in to-small temptation^tfol I only if you can ( tlo so without regretting it later!

Why? Because I hate your renins! These people who ask you to print a letter because they think it's so good, let them get a scrapbook and save the ones they like, so the rest of us won't have to be bored with them.- \Please God, I'm Only 17,\ about the dead teen-ager in a car wreck, is one 1 really hate. I don't feel sorry for some jerk kid who kills himself doing 80 mph in a souped-up jalopy. 1 see kids like him every day around here, bouncing up and.down in their seats, hitting the roof of the car with their heads. Most of them are cither so high on dope or drunk on beer they can't feel a thing. And they all turn up their radios so-loud you can hoar -thejrua.iiki£k .away._ This may sound.cold to you, but if tliey kill themselves, it's fine with me; there's just one less nut on the road. Like I said, Abby, you just lost a reader in St. Louis. -FRlvl) IL, KLDON, MO. DEAR FRED: Sorry, I hate to lose a reader, but I've heard from hundreds of readers (mostly teen-agers) urging me to run that letter every year. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I urn a 16-year-old boy, and.I usually have fairly good control of my emotions. 1 mean, it takes a lot to make me cry, but when I read that letter in your column, \Please Cod, I'm Only 17,\ I couldn't hold back the tears. I just never had anything hit me like that letter did. It made me realize a lot of things. For one, it made me realize how much it would hurt my parents arid grandparents if I ended up like that kid did, all because 1 chose to drive faster than I should. It also made mo promise myself that I would never, never take a drink of anything—not even beer— and then get behind the wheel of a car. 1 also promised myself that if I am in a car and the driver starts to drive recklessly or foolishly fast, I will try to talk some sense into him—or her—and if I can't, I will insist on being let out of that car no matter where I £m qx w.ha^tim.elt is.' Thank you, Abby, .fc-r • pwnting thabletter. Please run it every^\spring. just before the kids have their proms because, that's the time mpst kids get killed iri car accidents. . I never realized how much one letter could change my life. Keep up. the good work. -RICK IN INDIANA DEAR ABBY: I just read your column about weddings that were 1 stopped when the question was asked, \If there is anyone present who knows why this couple, should not be joined in holy matrimony, let him speak now or forever hold his peace.\ I would like to add my own experience: I was a\19-year-old bride in 1933. The man I was about to' marry was 26, and we had gone together for two years. We walked down the aisle of a little country church filled with friends and relatives. When the preacher asked if anybody present knew why we shouldn't be married, I spoke up and said, \I- cannot marry Allen (his real name) because when he asked me to marry him, I told him I would on the condition that he never take another drink of whiskey again. Hcswore he wouldn't with his hand on a Bible, but a s we were walking down the aisle I smelled liquor on his breath!\ The guests were shocked,' the wedding was called off and my daddy said he was proud of me: Allen left town, and two years later 1 married a nice non-drinking man. Next May we'll have been married 50 years. -TRUE STORY FROM NORTH CAROLINA - (Getting married?
