By W. E. McKenney
This is the second of three ape- elal articles by Mr. McKenney on the "Rule of Eleven"
In my previous article, the rule of eleven was explained. Follow. Ing are several examples show- ing how to apply this rule cor- rectly.
In every case, South is the de- clarer at no trump, North the dummy, West is the opening lead- er and the card led is in paren thesis. East is the partner of this leader,

South-Declarer 2
West opens the four spot, hla fourth best. Applying the rule of eleven, four from eleven leavor seven. There are three in tho dummy, and ns East, the partner of the original fender, holds four,' he knows that the declarer holds no card higher than the four spot. Therefore, if the declarer plays the six from dummy. East's seven spot will hold the trick. Like- wine, If the declarer plays the ton. East will win the trick with the jack; if the declarer plays, the queen, East will win with the ace,
Supposing the declarer played the six, the seven now holds the trlek. Enst should return the nee, and then the jack, unblocking the ault so that his pariner can make the fifth card of that null. If East were to return the five spot, West would he forced to win with the king; then when West returned the suit East would have it blocked with the ace-jack.
Example No. 2

West opens the five of spades. Five from eleven leaves six. As there are three in the dummy, East holding three known that the declarer holds по card higher than the five spot.

If dummy plays the seven ten, East should play the nine over the seven and the jack over the ten. East should then another ult.

There is an old rule in bridge That says "Lead through strength and up to weakness," therefore Enat should select a suit which is weak in dummy. This is done in an endeavour to get West, his part. ner, in the lead again to return the spades, which would prevent the declarer from making spade trick.
