Canasta—
Play For All
By OSWALD JACOBY ; OUR DISCUSSION of canasta tournaments earlier
this week reminds me that several readers have asked,
from time to time, what style of play is best for a tourna-
ment player to adopt. The general answer is: Play for all or nothing. In most tournaments there's no glory in coming in second or third. You might just as well wind up at the bottom of the heap if you can’t take the first prize, Therefore, there is no point at all in playing safe. . In a large tournament, some pair is bound to have a lucky streak. If there are five or six rounds, some pair is going to average about 2000 points per round. It won't do you much good to beat your opponents by a few hundred points.
o » ” " " ¥ FOR THE purpose of winning the tournament, that small viectory is just the same as getting beaten. At best, you can stand

Or Nothing—That's The Best Rule To Follow When You're In .A Tournament
one such round if you have very big scores on all the other rounds; but you cannot hope to be a contender for first prize if you have two small victories, = The surest way to run up a big score is to fight desperately for the discard pile. If you get the pile, you will get the score; if you lose the pile, the opponents will get the big score. It's a freeswinging type of game that is not suited to everybody's temperament, but it’s the only possible winning style. Therefore, discard dangerously or trickily on hands that have possibilities. With a poor hand, discard ultra-safely in the hope that your partner can save the day. Freeze the pile, discard your deuces into it. Do anything—but don’t sit tight.

THAT, AT any rate, must be your style during the early rounds of the tournament. Toward the énd of the evening you may change. . For example, suppose you have had five very big scores and

A GIRL never thanks a boy for dancing with her. She always thanks him for bringing her a plate: of food at supper or a drink of punch during a party. : And at table, thanks are in order if a boy says, “Won't you hdve some?” or if a girl asks that something be passed to her. Finally, a girl smoker should murmur thanks when a boy offers her a cigarette, but it isn't necessary to thank him for lighting it—unless he rises or crosses a room to do so.
