CONTRACT BRIDGE
By
W. E. McKenney
Solution to Previous Contract Problem
Fancy plays In bridge are not hard to make if you simply are playing for an extra trick. If you | linve your contract mido, you can try'n little exparimenting for the extra trick. Howaver, when you have to make squeeze play, or an elimination or end play to make your contract, you generally find the going very tough,
wilt
which
This was the situation confronted Mrs. Marjorie Irvine of
aho was com-
| Philadelphia, 'when
peting in the recent enstern Penn- bylvania -tournament at Rending. Her contract was for game and she had four apparent losers, one of which had to be eliminated for her to make her contract.

The Play
East's`
The bidding was normal, opening lead was the king of dia-, monds, won in dummy with the uce. Mra. Irvine then took two rounds of trump, which net up East's queen.
A small club was led
and won in dummy with the ace and a club returned, West winning with the queen..
West returned a diamond which Mrs. Irvino trumped and led a club, which she trumped in dummy with. the eight of hearts.
A diamond was led from dummy and trumped with the five of Bearte. Another club then was led, on which East discarded the queen of-diamonds. Mrs. Irvine trumped i in dummy with the ton of hearts and returned a diamond, trump- ing in her own hand with the seven of hearts,
East was helpless-if he trumped with the queen of hearts, all he could do was to win his ace of spades. But if he refused to trump and discarded a spade, all Mrs. Irvine had, to do was to lead a spade toward dummy's queen, and her contract was made,
Today's Contract-Problem
How xhould North and South hands, shown here, be d? If South plays it a slam contract in clubs, and West opens the king of diamonds, how should South play his carda?
