three no trump, instead of rebid. ding his hearts, as his first bid, had already given his partner the information regarding the heart holding.

West's opening lead was the nine of spades. The jack was played from dummy, East covered with the queen and Mr. Frank played the five.. East returned the king of spades and again Mr. Frank played low, East holding the trick. Eust abandoned the spade suit and shift. ed to the four of clubs,

Now I want to give you Mr. Frank's reasoning on the hand. Ele said, "I decided that East held six spades, due to the fact that West had opened with the nine and played the deuce on the second trick. I also decided that Enst held four clubs, as the return of the stait club looked like the fourth best lead.

"Why had Enst abandoned spades and shifted to clubs? The reason for the shift must be that East did not have a re-entry and therefore décided to lead up to dummy's weakness, hoping to establish some club tricks for his partner. I knew there was no need to lay off this trick, so I won with the ace."

At this point I would like to have my renders stop and consider what they would now lead and why,

Before playing to the next trick, Mr. Frank took inventory. He had won a club triek, he had two sure diamond tricks and a spade. To make his contract he needed five heart trieks. Now came the prob- lem as how to, play the heart suit, Mr. Frank decided that East did not hold the queen, otherwise he
