CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Solution to Previous Contract Problem
This is the ninth of 18 playing! problems prepared by Henry P. Jaoger,
Just because you don't make your contract. It does not always signify that you have bld the band carelessly. You may bid for game properly, yet a very fine play on the part of your opponents will defeat your contract.

Don't belittle yourself by say- ing, " bid the hand poorly." Rather say, "Nice playing on the part of the opponents." One thing you must learn-controls are an important thing in contract Un- less you use them to good advant- nge, they are useless.
The Play
The bidding on the hand la normal, and the opening lead is normal. If you held the Weat hand, would you play the seven or nine spot? If either, you would be wrong for par on the hand is to overtake your partner'a king of clubs with the ace so as to be able to return your singleton spade, even though it is right into dummy's tenace, because you have control of the trump.
You know you are going to get Into the lend on the first heart and your partner's play of the king of clubs has marked him, with the queen.
When South returns a heart, you should win the trick with the ace and then lend a small club. Your partner wins the trick with the jack, returns aspinde which you ruff, and that defeats the contract,
If West had waited until the second round to win the club trick, the contract could not have been defeated, because both North and South hands would have been exhausted of clubs and West would have had no re-entry into his partner's hand.
Today's Contract Problem,
Here's Henry P Jaeger's tenth problem. Bouth .a playlug the contract at #ix spades. West opens the king of hearts, For on the hand la for declarer to make his contract.
