Viewpoint

Stadium beer sales make more sense The return of beer and wine sales at the University of Colorado’s football stadium shows there is a more enlightened way to deal with alcohol problems than prohibition – because prohibition never works. The stadium in Boulder is a perfect example. Officials thought they might solve a game-time drinking problem by banning alcohol sales, but soon found the problem only grew worse. Despite rules against it, people continued to drink before games and after in parking lots and other nearby venues. They found people were leaving during the game to sneak a drink in their cars. Others undoubtedly were drinking from old-fashioned hip flasks smuggled into the stadium. In the old days in Kansas, the statewide ban on alcohol on state property was mostly ignored at college games. Student sections were awash with jugs of “pink lemonade” while alumni tippled in an illegal private club under the stands, setting a good example for the kids. Problem drunks abounded, rules or no rules. In Colorado, the university announced recently that it would resume beer and wine sales in “regular” seating areas at Folsom Field after 19 years of prohibition. Sales had continued in “premium” seating areas and sky boxes. Perhaps high-class drunks don’t cause as many problems as the rabble? Alcohol sales and drinking were confined to “beer garden” areas. Few problems were reported, apparently.

A Mandatory Falsecard Some falsecards must be made as a matter of self-protection. This is because the failure to Todd the Dinosaur • Patrick Roberts make such a play – known as a mandatory falsecard – would leave the opponent no choice but to find the winning line of play. Here is a typical case. East, the hero of this piece, is defending against four hearts and wins the third round of spades with the ace. He then shifts to a club, taken in dummy with the queen. Declarer returns the four of hearts, on which our hero plays the king, not the ten. South wins with the ace and leads a low trump toward dummy’s J-9. After West follows low, South has a difficult problem to solve. If the king is actually a singleton, declarer must play the nine from dummy in order to overcome Zits Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott West’s original holding of 10-8-7-2. Indeed, it • would certainly be reasonable for South to finesse the nine on this basis and go down one. Of course, if he sizes up the situation correctly and goes up with the jack, catching East’s ten, he makes the contract. The point is that if East plays the ten on the four, South will surely finesse the queen and then have no alternative but to cash the ace and so make four hearts. East thus has no chance what- soever if he woodenly plays the ten on the first heart lead. But if he plays the king, he presents declarer with a chance to go wrong, and that’s a lot better than no chance at all. (c)2014 King Features Syndicate Inc.
