CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
There is a popular saying which goes, "Lay down your nces against siam contract." That is often the best defence when the slam in bid in a suit, but it is of very doubtful value against a aix trump contract.

An acc ja seldom lost at no trump, and to take it in immediato- ly is often playing directly into the declaror's hand. However, West player in the following hand selected the wrong time to under- lead his ace, and a clever squeeze by the declarer caused him to lose It entirely.

The Bidding.
South opened with one diamond to which North responded with one heart-a one over one force, South next bid three no trump.
Far from being a sign-off, this declaration showed a band of tre- mendous strength and Was an urgent invitation to try for a slam. North responded with four trump and this was all the couragement that South needed to carry the bidding to six no trump, which became the final contract.
The Play.
nu
en-
West could have played his acc of clubs, thereby making sure that the contract would be held to six. However, by leading the lack of clubs, he would have at least a fair chance to establish another trick in that suit.
Accordingly, he selected that lead, and South won in her own hand with the king of clubs. She now played the queen and Jack of hearts, and when West discarded a club on the second heart trick sho know he would be desperately squeezed by na continuation of that sult.
A small heart was led to dum- my's king, on which West discard- ed the ton of clubs, but when the ace of hearts was led he was in a hopeless dilemma.
To discard the ace of clubs was out of the question, and since the declarer had bid diamonds it seem- ed· advisable to keep all possible strength in that suit. West's best discard was a smali spade, but on seeing the discard the declarar im- mediately led two rounds of that suit and ostered dummy again with the queen of diamonds.
The queen of spades now dropped the jack and ten together, and when the nine of spades was led, West was again squeezed. To diacard the uce of clubs would establish duramy's queen, and a diamond dis- card would allow the declarer to make all the remaining tricks in that ault.
Therefore South mada seven no trump and West's ace WAA effectually put to sleep.
