CONTRACT BRIDGE
MI
By W. E. McKenney
I really believe that more points aro lost annually at contract bridão through carelessness than through bad play.
You can excuse a poor play on the grounds of lack of experience. but it is difficult to excuse a caro- less play. Nothing but careless- ness will provent you from making a grand slant on the following hand:
The Bidding
South, the dealer, opened the contracting with one club. West, who was not vulnerable, over- called with one diamond. North bid one spade-even though West has interposed with n bid, North's bid of one spade is still a one over one force.
North realizes that there must be a slam in the hand if South can!
make an original bid, and is de- airous of securing additional in- formation from South, no he makes this simple one over one force. East bid two diamonds. South bids three clubs, which now elimin-¡ ates the possibility of a weak club bid. West bids four diamonds, and North goes to seven clubs.
The Play

dummy and winning that trick with
the ace.
Declarer could see that he could get rid of two of his losing hearts on the ace and king of hearts and one on the ace of spades. The only possible chance he had cf mak- Ing his contract was to establisli fifth spade.
He therefore should lead the six of clubs and win in dummy with the jack, which picks up the outstanding trump. The ace of spades is played and a small heart discarded. The seven of spades is returned and trumped by the de- claror-West's queen_falls.
The diamond is led and trumped in dummy with a small club. An- other spade is led from dummy, East plays low, and declarer should play safe and trump to make sure that West does not hold the king of spades.
A heart is now won in dummy with the ace, and the jack of spades led. If East refuses to cover with the king, declarer will discard his losing heart, while ̄if East does cover, declarer will trump and the nine of spades will be good in dummy for the needed trick.
If declarer had carelessly tried for a squeeze play instead of es- tablishing the fifth spade, his con- |tract would be lost.
