North, with an ace and a king. is justified in going to two no trump. But It takes an add squeeze play to make the contract.
However, leave it to the boys at Yale Univoralty to find a way. to make their contract. It was there that this hand, sent to me by Fred Rodell, was played,
The Play
Against the three no trump con- tract. West opened the ten of hearts and East went up with the king. Personally. I believe that East should have played low.
South won the trick with the ace, and cashed the king and queen of spades, learning to his sorrow that the spade suit was not going to break, when East let go a diamond.
The jack of clubs was played and Eust won the trick with the queen. A heart was returned by Enst, which South, declarer, wou with the queen.
Je next led the ten of clubs. West let go the five of diamonds,

At this point the declarer had five tricks in, and two clubs and a spare set up. He could see that diamond lend might put West in to cash two heart tricks and set him.
If he were to cash his two clubs, this would set up a club trick for Dust; but the decinrer decided that East was out of hearts, so n club was led. West discarded his Jack of diamonds and, the trick was won in dummy with the nine. Another club... was. cashed, de West was squeezed. If he let gu clarer letting go a spade, and
a spade, the declarer's two spades would be good. so the only thing he could do was to release one of his good hearts, and now all the declarer had to do was to lend a diamond from dummy and play the queen from his own hand,
West won the trick with the ace, eashed his nine of heirts, and was forced to lend a spade to dummy's nec. Declarer won the last trick with the klag of dia- monds.

THERE IS NOTHING
“JUST AS GOOD AS"
ENO'S "FRUIT SALT”
Think about ENO's “Fruit Salt" for a moment. Ask yourself why it is accepted by the people of every nation as- the finest, safest and most invigorating aid to good health. Perhaps you agree that ENO is everything that is claimed for it. But do you know this from your own personal ex. perience? Have you actually put ENO to the test? Have you proved that it really does make you filter and healthier, moro energetle and clear-headed? Remember you cannot judgo ENO by your experiments with other salines.
Buy a bottle of "Fruit Salt" to-day and you will quickly see why there is no substitute for ENO-and why, for your health's sake, you must always resolutely refuse sub- stitutes.
THE WORDS "ENO- AND "FRUIT SALT" ARE REGISTERED TRADE MARKS.
