CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney Underloading an aco on the defence is generally a dangerous practice. However, tiro are times when it is the correct play. But don't underlead an ace unless you have somo sound reason to back up your play,
The following hand, played in tho national championship tour- noy at Asbury Park, N. J., gives a good-example of the proper time to underland an acc.
The Bidding
South had opened the contract- Ing with one club. West passed and North | bid one spade. East passed and South went to three spades a rather optimistle bid, forcing his partner to four spades. I bellova the sound. bid. fs two spades by South, and then if North goes to three spades, South should go to four,
The Play.
If East makes the spectacular opening of the king and one dia- mand, the contract is immediately defeated if West returns a día- mond giving East a ruff. How- ever, the majority of players with the East holding opened the deuce of hearts, the ten was played from dummy, West played the jack and North won the trick with the ace,
He immediately led the six of clubs, winning in dummy with the ace and then playing the king of clubs, on which he discarded the eight of hearts.
His next play was the king of spados, which West immediately won with the ace. Here is how

West holds the king of hearts -the high hearts. The declarer took only one discard on the clubs, therefore it looks as though he has no other heart. That leaves declarer with nothing but spades and diamondas
If the declarer originally held six spades and four diamonds, then East holds only two diamonds. If these two diamonds are the king and one, thero is u-chanco-to- defent the contract,
If West plays the nee of dia- monds and then leads a small dia- mond, East will he blocked in with king. West should under- lead his ace of diamonds. Now
East will win with the king and will return the six of diamonds. West will win with the ace, lead another diamond and East will get in a ruff, which is the trick that sets the contract.
