CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Solution to Previous Contract Problem
No one can deny, the fact that the element of luck enters Into the game of contract bridge. I am a firm believer in the fact that, over a period of time, the element of luck is distributed evenly and the winning player is the one who Cat take advantage of the good breaks.
Here is a band in which the de- claror receives a favourable opan- ing and then, if he plays the hand wrong, might complain that it was his hard luck to find the queen of diamonds on the wrong side.
However, when the hand was Tourist Class played by Ray H. Eisenlord of.

The Bidding
While South has a fair-looking hand, it is not strong enough to open with a first hand bid. How- ever, after partner makes a third hand bid of one spade, South la justified in demanding a game contract by the jump to three spades.
North, unless his partner has some additional strength, signs the hand off with a bid of four spades. South makes a mild slam try by bidding five diamonds, and North well reasons that this bid cannot be made without the ace of hearts. In other words, what

The Play
East's opening lead is the queen of hearts. If East had opened a spade, West would have won with the ace and returned a heart and the contract would have been de- feated. With the heart oponlag, Elsenlord, in the North, won the trick in dummy with the ace.
It now looked as though the lo- cation of the queen of diamonds
was the governing factor of the hand. However, Elsenlord could see that, if West hold the ace of spades, Elsenlord would be able to make the hand, regardless of the dinmond location, by eliminating the band of hearts and cluba.
Today's Contract Problem North plays the hand at Esat opens the alx hearts. seren of spades. How should the hand now be played, and what is the only small slam contract which, with proper delanie, cannot be defeated?
