Solution to Previous Contract Problem

Just because you have an act- queen combination, you need not necessarily take a finesse. Contract is a game of tricks. If you.bid for four odd, your first task is to make four odd.

response than that of two spades. Since four-card sults play an im- portant part in bidding at contract, it does not generally pay to sup- part your partner's gult with only threa trumps, even though they are three to the king, on the first round, if you can find a better de- when Mrs. claration. However, Scranton in the South goes to two spades, North takes the strain off the hand by going to four.

The Play

Against Mrs. Scranton's four apade contract, West opened the deuce of clubs and East won the trick with the acc. East immediate-! ly returned a small heart. Mrs.

Today's Contract Problem

Scranton's problem was whether to all she had to lose was the queen take the heart finesse. She felt of hearts. that West had four clubs when he opened with the deuce; therefore, East must have the singleton ace.

If she took a heart finesse and it failed, a club would be returned and ruffed and her contract would be defeated. Thon, the heart fnesse having failed, she probably would have taken the spade finesse to pick up the queen, arid that also would have lost.

Mrs. Scranton knew that she had no club loser and decided that she would not risk losing more than one heart and one spade, so she went right up with the ace of hearts and then led a small spade, winning in dummy with the king. A spade was returhed and again she re- fused to take the finesse, going right up with the ace of spades which dropped West's queen,

Now the jack of trump was led, which picked up East's last trump. The king of clubs was cashed. Enst showed out, so Mr. Scranton went right through West's jack, and now
