A Puzzle For Card-players

Unreviewed import — a classic from the public domain; its solution has not been machine-checked yet.

math
Twelve members of a club arranged to play bridge together on eleven evenings, but no player was ever to have the same partner more than once, or the same opponent more than twice. Can you draw up a scheme showing how they may all sit down at three tables every evening? Call the twelve players by the first twelve letters of the alphabet and try to group them.

Solution

Commit an attempt to unseal the proof. Write your answer — right or wrong, thinking it through is the point.
