By W. E. McKenney
This is the fourth. article ex- plaining the hold-up at no trump. In this article I want to show you a hand where you must win the first trick at once' and must cm- ploy the hold-up because of the Icar that opponent may switch to another suit which you do not have stopped.
The Bidding
South should open the bidding with one club and North would respond with one spade. South hids "two no trump and North would carry the contract to three to trump.

The Play
.
It is West's opening lead. Again we find a four-card major and a four-card minor suit. However, we hesitate to lead away from an ace-queen combination if we have anoter suit that is equally as good, therefore the best opening with this hand is the fourth best dia. mond-the seven.
When Bast plays the king, the declarer must not hold up bc- cause East will be in the lead and if he should abift to hearts the declarer will be sure to lose his contract.
He should go right up with the ace of diamonds and then lead al small spade, winning in dummy' with the king.. He now leads his queen of clubs from dummy, tak ing the finesse, playing the nine spot from his own hand, creating the eight as an entry into dummy. in case it is needed.
West wins the trick with the king, but must not cash his queen and jack of diamonds be- cause that would set up the ten in'dummy.
If West shifts and leads his fourth best heart--the four-the declarer will win with the king, run off his good clubs and spadea, losing two tricks at the end, but making four no trump,
110
When playing a hand at tramp, one must be more careful than when playing at a suit dec- laration because it is not possible to ruff off any of the opponent's long cards. If they establish suit you must be careful not let them get into the lead.
