The Play.

East and West could casily make six diamonds. Playing the hand at spades, West opened the king of diamonds and when South's queen fell, he shifted to the his partner's suit and led dence of clubs which East won with the ace. The ten of clubs was returned by East and when South played the king, West dis- earded a diamond. This marked West out of trump.

Declarer led the queen of clubs and then the five of clubs, trump- ing in the dummy with the deuce of spades. The ten of spades was then led from dummy, if East re- fused to cover, the declarer allows it to ride through. He can then pick up East's spades and all be has to lose is the king of hearts, thereby going down only two tricks at a contract of six doubl ed. As North and South held 40 honors, the declarer is minus 160, which is a very good score when you consider that East and West could make a plus score of 297.
