CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
While we do not open with one no trump unless we hold a very strong hand in the constructive one over one system of contract bid- ding, this does not, mean that we avoid the playing of a contract at no trump,
You should always be on the alert to play a hand at no trump, but try to place the declaration in the proper hand. Before launching Into a no trump contract, however, make sure that the hand has no holes, especially if you have a good playable major suit.
I was rather surprised in the fol- lowing hand to see number of playera play this hand at hearts when an easy, game could be made at ng trump. One pair, however,

hearts for n top score un the bourd. That, however, does not make it the correct declaration-it required a very fine coup ply to make the four odd at hearts.
The correct bidding on the hand
Is South one heart, North one spade, South two hearts, North three diamonds, and South three no trump.
West will open a club. It will be necessary to lay off one club and the contract is in.
To make four odd at hearts, even with a club opening, the declarer must at once proceed to ruff a club and then lend the ten of hearts, which East will cover with the jack and the declarer will win with the queen.
The natural play is for the de- clarer to play down the nce of hearts, West will discard a club and dummy a spade. This makes it look as though the declarer must Jose one heart trick. However, the jack of diamonds can next be led, Enst will win with the queen and his best is to return the eight of diamonds, which will be won in dummy with the nine.
Declarer will now return a small. spade from dummy, which East wins with the queen. East will cash his ace of spades and then lend n small spade on which the declarer must discard his deuce of diamonds, winning the spade trick in dummy.
He can then lead the ace of dia- monds, East will be forced to trump, declarer will over-trump
and can now pick up the two re- maining trump,
While this is a nicely played hand, the safer contract is three no trump.
