CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney Solution to Previous Contract Problem

In my estimation, distribution plays a more important part at contract than high cards. Of course, at slam contract sult con- trols aro necessary to prevent the opponents from running off win- ning tricks Immediately.

But you can take a handful of high cards and, unless you have good distribution, you will find it difficult even to make game.

An unusually interesting squeeze that developed out of good distri bution is glyon in to-day's hand.

I bollove the bidding to be rather optimistic, capecially North's two no trump response. South justified in jumping to four clubs after this bid, and again North was over optimistic in jumping to six clubs. However, the doclarer played the hand well to make his contract.

West opened the jack of spades, which East won with the ace. Enst returned a small heart, which declarer won with the king. The declarer now ran six rounds of clubs, retaining in dummy the three and deuce of spades, the ace and nine of hearts, and the nee of diamonds.
