Solution to Previous Contract Problem
To-day's hand embodies an es Decially fine defensive play and was | brought to me by C. E. Gunn, one of Cleveland's outstanding younger players. Alertness and expert card reading always are necessary in completing one of these fina defen- sivė plays. Mr. Gunn In the West opened the king of clubs and when a small card was played from dum- my, East allowed the trick to hold. The second club was led and South,
the declarer, ruffed with the douce of hearts.

cashed his aco and king of dia- monds. discarding two spades from dummy. His next play was the deuce of spades.
Mr. Guan now had a very reading on the South hand. He knew that South did not hold the ace and queen of spades, or he would have taken the spade fin- sse after winning in dummy. He Iso knew that South hold no more iamonds otherwise he would have affed the losing diamond with the Food heart in dummy.
Therefore, South must hold the co and x of spades, which would 24Ve East with the singleton
¡ucen.
Mr. Gunn knew that if he played :he jack, East would have to win vith the queen, and, regardless of what East returned, the declarer could trump and ruff the losing spado in dummy.
Mr. Gunn now made an excep- tionally fine defensive play, and put in the king of spades, which dropped East's queen. The ten of hearts was returned, taking the last heart from dummy. South won and now must give up a spado trick. Thus his contract was, de- feated one trick.

Today's Contract Problém
South has the contract for six hearts. West has bld dia- monds. Ir the spades split. 3-2, the hand is made exully. Bat the spades aplit 4-1, how should South play the hand to piake ILT
