Abstract: We prove that if $ \operatorname{cf}{\kappa} = \omega$ and $ \lambda = 2^{<\kappa}$, then

$\displaystyle \left( \begin{matrix} \lambda^+   \lambda \end{matrix}\right) \t... ...egin{matrix} \lambda^+ & \alpha   \lambda & \kappa \end{matrix}\right)^{1,1} $

for all $ \alpha < \omega_1$. This polarized partition relation holds if for every partition $ \lambda \times \lambda^+ = K_0 \cup K_1$ either there are $ B_0 \in [\lambda]^{\lambda}$ and $ A_0 \in [\lambda^+]^{\lambda^+}$ with $ B_0 \times A_0 \subseteq K_0$ or there are $ B_1 \in [\kappa]^{\lambda}$ and $ A_1 \in [\alpha]^{\lambda^+}$ with $ B_1 \times A_1 \subseteq K_1$.
