     That sort of thing happened to us once, too.  Our game has been picking up
new players, with most of the early players bidding on the ACOL system (anybody
want to discuss it?) or at least some semblance of it given our general inexper-
ience.  Anyway, in comes a new player to the group who uses a short club con-
vention.  She never bothered to tell us, and after she opened 1 club, her
partner with one club and a garbage hand passed.  As it turned out, declarer had
3 clubs and dummy but 1.  The trumps didn't even split evenly - I had 6 of them
to a couple of the top honors.  Needless to say, on that hand, defense made
about 4 clubs.
