Excerpt from Street on Auction: A Conservative, Practical and Profitable Method of Playing the Greatest of Modern Games
Your opponents simply cannot win a huge rubber unless you deliberately pile up a big score for them in their honor column. If you never say anything but one spade and no they may win the rubber in two successive games, which, with the honors and the 250 points bonus, may run the total up to above 400. But rubbers of 800 or are the fruits of sky-rocket bidding, either founded on false initial bids or carried to ridiculous heights by players who either cannot or will not count their hands.
