CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Solution to Preceding Contract Problem

When you get a bad break in trump and have lost the first trick, playing the hand at a small slami contract, you have only one wea- pon to fall back on, and that is the squeeze play. Such was the situation which faced Stanley Reilly of Chicago, who will captain the team representing the Auction Bridge Club of Chicago, the first western team to participate in the Vanderbilt Cup tournament sinco it was held last, in the west. At that time the cup was won by the Chicago team.

North's bid of three spades asked South elther to bid four spades or three no trump, and when South responded with four clubs this was a mild alam try.

North Immediately realized that

| South's club suit must be solid- otherwise he would not attempt to show it on the second round of hidding. If that was the case, the alam was quite probable,

West's opening lead of the seven of hearts went to East's ace, while North played low. East returned the eight of clubs, which was won in dummy with the jack.

A small spade was played from dummy, Reilly in the South win- ning with the queen and West showing out, discarding a heart. A small spade was returned and won in dummy with the aee.

The ten of spades was returned from dummy, East put up the jack and South won the trick with the king. South then led the nine of spades, picking up East's last trump. West, In the meantime, had discarded two clubs.:

Reilly now cashed the ace, king, and queen of clubs, West following with a club and discarding a heart and a diamond. Dummy did the same and Enst followed with two clubs-and-a-diamond.

This left Weat with the queen and ten of hearts and king and eight of diamonds. North had the nine and king of Hearts and the ace and ten of diamonds.

Reilly led his last trump and West was squeezed, which gave Reilly his contract of six-odd, ̈.

The

Today's Contract Problem West, holding four spaden to Q1-16, has doubled a four-spade-contraet by North. Easi han hid and re-bid hearts, kut opening lead is the king of diamonds. With this information, how should you play the hand to make game?
