JACOBY on BRIDGE

THE duck play consists of re-

fusing to take a trick at the Arst opportunity. It is a good play if you have a sound reason for it as West has with today's hand.

The North-South bidding was a trifle enterprising but there was some sort of play for four spades and have seen much worse contacts brought home safely.

East won the first dirmond and returned the suit to West's king. West led the four of heurls and South was in dummy.

The eight of spades lead pro- duced East's king and South wen with the sec. His next play was the lack of spades and al- though West could not capture anything better with his queen he saw right away that a duck play was indicated.

South saw the handwriting on the wall but tried ast-ditch swindle. He cashed dummy's last two high hearts and played the last spade, This time West won the trick and was briefly tempted to lead his last diamond. However, a short count showed West that the diamond lead would give South his contract and West played the three of clubs in the hope that East would hold the jack.
