Professional line-play is clever, titanic and almost always evenly matched. Backfields use complex maneuvers which require split-second timing and the accuracy of basketballers in passing.

Karn, David Burnstine and Oswald (''Ossie") Jacoby, who won the cup a year ago-were split up. Mr. Vanderbilt was playing with Sims, Karn and Baron Waldemar von Zedtwitz, onetime member of Ely Culbertson's Bridge World team which won in 1930. Their opponents in the final were Howard Schenken, David Burnstine, Richard Frey-who finished in that order at the top of the list...
