CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
an
Cue bidding-that is, the bidding. of a suit previously bid by opponent in order to show control of, or no losers in, that sult-can easily be overdone,
When properly employed it is a valuable asset in contract bidding, but it should only be made when you have especially good support in the suit previously bid by your partner and control of a side sult. In other words, you are inviting a slam if your partner has control of the other ault,
To make a cue bid otherivise only directs the opponents how to attack the hand. In other words when you make a cuo bid you show utter contempt for anything that the opponents' may lead.
The following hand, which was
given to the writer by that great contract player, Waldemar von
Zedtwitz, past president of
the
American Bridge League and donor Pair
of the National Masters'
Trophy which la played for annual-
ly at Asbury Park, N. J., gives an
example of correct cue bidding and
also involves a neat pseudo-squeeze
on the third trick.

bidding third hand with a bid of one spade. East overcalled with two hearts.
South was now in a position to make a nice eue bid-ho had plenty of support for his partner's suit and had control of the .club suit. ao his proper overcall was three hearts. Weat doubled to show some high card strength. North showed his diamond control by bidding four diamonds.
South bid five spades to show that something more than the ace of diamonds was needed to make a slam. North, with his ace and king of diamonds, was justified in going to six spades.
. The Play
East opened with king of hearts, which was trumped in dummy. A spade was returned, West winning. with the ace, East discarding a heart.--West returned a spade and East faces quite a problem.
He cannot discard a heart or the declarer will set up a good heart on which to discard a losing dla- mond. In face of the diamond suit showing in dummy, it does not look safe to discard a diamond.
The safest play appears to be to drop a club, and this is the play that is fatal to East and West, as the declarer has only to ruff two clubs and he has two more cards with which to squeeze East.
As the hand Ifes, if East had die- carded a diamond, it would have been possible to defeat the con- tract.
