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 East returned the king of five. spades and again. Mr. Frank played low, East holding the trick. East 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. He said, "I decided that East held that six spades, due to the fact

West had opened with the nine and played the deuce on the second trick. I also decided that East held four clubs, as the return of the small club looked like the fourth best lead.

Why had East abandoned spades and shifted to clubs? The reason for the shift must be that East did not have a re-entry and therefore decided to lead up to dummy's weakness, hoping to catablish 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 readers stop and consider what they would now lead and why.
