Mr. Karn sat South and opened the contracting with one club. Ife and his partner, Mr. Jacoby, were using the one over one bid. Mr. Jacoby in the North now bid one diamond. This one over one bid requires partner to keep the bidding open at least once. East passed and Mr. Karn in the South now bid one no trump. Mr. Jacoby I went to two no trump and Mr. Karn, who is a strong believer in the fact that in tournament play a favourable opening, a squeeze play or an end play may produce that extra trick needed for game. went to three no trump.

The Play.

West had the opening lead and led the seven of spades, his fourth best spude. The trick was won in dummy with the king. Mr. Karn could count only seven tricks if the clubs break. Nine tricks might be made if both nees ny right. At least it was worth the rlance, so a small club was led from dumny. Mr. Kara played the queen, seemingly finessing.

The next play is the jack of diamonds, which looks to West as if declarer is going to take a finesse, so he plays the three-spot, but the king is played from dummy, which holds the trick.

Now a small heart is led from dummy and East played second hand low, the nine pot. Mr. Karn went in with the king which held the trick.

Four straight clubs and the ace of spades were then taken by the declarer. He granted the last four tricks, but by leading to his kings early Mr. Karn made his con- tract of three no trump.
