CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Solution to Previous Contract Problem
Perlinpa the most Important, and still the most dimeult, thing for the beginner at contract to learn is that high card tricks alone will not produce gume, Partners
a fit in the two hands. We have learned generally that
must find
five to five and one-half high card tricks will produce game. but this is not true unless the two hands fit-and then a game often can be made with fewer high card tricks than these. Therefore, in the early rounds of bidding, don't bother so much to find out about high carda, na to learn about that At.
When an opponent Interposes a bid--that may be the warning of a misit hand. At least, you can- not proceed much farther with the bidding unless you can account for the losers in the suit that, he tells you he is strong in,
It is not advisable generally to overcall one bid with a four-card ault, but West cannot be criticized for overcalling with 26 strong four-card suit, especially since it in in the one zone-and ho also

shows his partner a band that is Loo weak to make IL negative double.
South has shown a suit and so has 1} t. has North-neither West has warned them about the
spade sult, so the bidding prop- erly stops at two hearts.
The Play
West's opening lead was the king of spades and he followed with the axe and queen. His fourth lend was a small club, the queen was finessed and it held the trick.
Declarer then enshed the nee of clubs and Eust dropped the jack. which now advised the declarer that East was out of spades and clubs. The king of hearts wns cushed and #2 small heart led, South winning the second heart with the are. South eashed the queen of hearts and West showed ont, discarding his fourth spade. The declarer now had a perfect reading on the East Hand-all he could hold was the good ten of hearts and four diamonds. If ono of these diamonds were the queen, the declarer could make an extra trick by first cashing his nee of damonds and then lending a small heart, discarding n club from dummy and throwing East in the Jend.
East then was forced to lead away from his queen of diamonds, and the declarer made three-odd.
Today's Contract Problem
North has the contract at four hearts. East opena tho nine of spades, because his partner had bid that suit. When doclaror plays the olab suit, East puts in the Jeck. flow should the band bo nlayed to maka four odd? AAQ7
