The votes in this round were fairly evenly spread. The true def -
number 14, the depilatory - got 4 votes and no one else got more than
3 natural votes. The race for the next deal is a three-way tie
between Johnny Barrs, Dave Cunningham, and Jim Hart with 4 unnatural
points each. My own calculation of the rolling scores puts Dave
firmly in the dealer's chair - if anyone disagrees, please fight it
out among yourselves.
So, take it away, Dave!
