CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Solution to Provlous Contract Problem.

The terms used in the game of bridge have been carried down for: well

one hundred years. They came from the game of whist,

over

All trick plays in the old days were termed "coups." There were the Bath coup, the grand coup, the Vienna coups, and others. How- ever, I sometimes wonder if bridge players haven't misused the word.

The distinction between a simplo coup and a grand coup is that, to complete a grand coup, you must trump a good card. You can make the same kind of play, but if the card you trump is not an catab labed card, the play is only a simple coup.

It is true that it is harder to trump a good card than a worth- less one. To-day's hand is an ex- ́ample of a grand coup.

A small dummy's Jacks finessed. When it held, the four of spades was played from dummy, declaror Buessing the jack, and East's nine apot dropped, warning the declarer that the two remaining trump were in the West hand.

Declarer now led a small heart. East went in with the nce and, of course, was helpless. If he re- turned a club, it would be into de- clarer's queen; so he elected to re- turn a small heart.

The ten was played from duminy.. This was a winning card, but the declarer realized that he must- shorten his hand in trump, so he literally discarded a trump on the dummy's good ton of hearts.

He then led a small diamond and won in dummy with the acc. The king of hearts was played and the six of diamonds discarded. De- elarer then led the good queen of
