PAGE 10 Canasta—

By OSWALD JACOBY DISCUSSI today of a reader's question draws out an old maxim’ “Make hay while the sun shines.”

Q. The opponents need

120 for their first meld, and

we need only 50. points, We make our meld, and the opponents have trouble, Should we play for a fast out or should we play for

a big score on such a hand?

A. Play for a big score. This is your big chance to even mat-

ters up, so why settle for less? _your partner can each pick up

The chances are that you and a real fistful of cards, and that

you can then control the discard pile for the rest of the hand.

THIS SITUATION and the

vy » » question remind me of a story

about Canfield, owner of a famous gambling house a generation

or two ago. He ran one game in which the

“house” had very lit-

tle advantage, and was asked why he bothered with it.

“That's easy,” said Canfield.

and lose more than he'll stay and win, Take that man &ver there,” and he pointed to a customer, “he’s often had a run of bad luck and dropped $1000.” But if he has good enough luck to win $500, he quits for fear that his luck will change. I'm bound to wind up a winner against him, and most players are just like him.” Of course, Canasta is not a gambling game-—-I know many pillars of the church who enjoy playing an innocent game of Canasta (and some of them are pretty good players)—but the story still applies, — » ” ” n ” ” THE AVERAGE Canasta player is too timid to take full advantage of his good luck. He's bound to losé to a more courageous opponent (provided that skill is otherwise equal). Q. We are a “club” of six women, who meet once a week to play six-hand Canasta. We want to arrange a different set of partners each week so that everybody eventually gets to play with everybody else. How can this bs arranged?

‘Make Hay While Sun Shines ‘Is Ar Excellent’ Canasta Axiom To Follow Hs

A, There are 20 different arrangements, so it will take 20 weeks to exhaust all the possible combinations. By that time, you will surely have a few absentges and other interruptions of the schedule,

THE BEST COU JRSE for any club is to write down a few different partnerships in advance and choose one of them out of a hat each week. Keep a record of which people played together, so that you can keep changing if the idea continues to appeal to you. The simplest method is to then write down just a string o rangement is, ! For example write down 1-2-3 against 4-5-6 for one week; 1-2-4 against 3-5-6 for another week; nd so on. If somebody drops out, give her number to the player who takes her place. . Mr, Jacoby is unable to answer individual questions on Oanasta from readers. However, he will include the most frequently asked questions in his column.
