CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Solution to Previous Contract Problem
This is the fifth of a series of 18 playing problems prepared by Henry P. Jocgor,
Nothing difficult about to-dny's hand, but it was rently surprising the number of South players that actually missed par on this hand. All that the play requires is just a little thinking at the proper time. Don't be too anxious to grab off a trick-It might coat you in trick later on.
You know there in one trick that! you can never lose the ace of trump. So, before taking it, ask yourself, "Is this the time to cash my ace? Can I be end-played if I don't take it now-or, if I hold off, can I put the declarer into an em- barrassing position?"
The Bidding
KWith East making an original Oct. 22 bid of ono spade, West's raine to

two spades is conservativo, e member that West would be just fed in going to two spades if he held only four trump and the king of clubs and king of hearts. The extra trump and the additional ace of hearts might justify a jump 'ta three spades.
The Play
South's opening lead is the three of diamonds. North wing with the king, returns the ace, and now knows that both declarer and South are out of diamonds. He leads the ten of diamonds.
East goes in with the queen of apades, hoping that the ace and jack of spades are split, so that if Nerth holds the ace, the play of the queen would prevent the Jack, from making.
What should South do? Over- trump that trick with the ace of
spades? If he does, he will lose par on the hand, because par is to
