CONTRACT

BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Regardless of how long you plav bridge, there is always a thrill in completing successfully a squeeze play, expecially if it is

a true aqueeze. However, there are times when smart defonos will defeat a well-planned squeezo play.

Here is a hand given to me by Russell J. Baldwin, tournament director of the American Bridge League. He watched it played at a recent tournament in. Washing- ton. D. C. Only one table found the proper defence.

North's opening lead was the ton of hearts. South wont right

lead a declarer

up with the ace so as to spade and prevent the from getting a ruff,

The spade was won with the king in dummy and the king of clubs returned. South played small and the declarer trumped with the four of spades.

Declarer now started to lay down six rounds of spades, leaving him with four cards-the king and eight of hearts and the eight and deuce of diamonds. Every- thing was discarded from dummy but the king, jack, and ten of diamonds and the queen of clubs.

It looked as though the natural thing for South to hold would be the queen and jack of hearts and the nce and queen of diamonds. However, f South bears down to these four cards, declarer will play the king of hearts, throw South in the lend with the jack of hearts, and make him lead up to dummy's king of diamonds.

Of course, if South had borne down to the ace of diamonds and the queen, fack and x of hearts, the declarer would have led a small diamond, forcing South to win with the ace.

South then would have to return a heart, which West would win with the king and his last two tricks would be won in dummy with the king and jack of diamonds-

"However, at the one table where the contract was defeated, North was careful not to discard a heart, but his first three discards were two small diamonds and the eight of clubs. When West continued with spades, North discarded two more clubs, bearing down to the nine and four of hearts, the nine of diamonds, and the nee of clubs,
