Opening lead-King of clubs.

The light Opening but has in recent years become heavily favored by our best players. There was a time when honor tricks were the chief guiding lights to determine when to open the bidding. with the advent of the high card point count, which began to pay greater homage to the lowly quccn and jack, and the distributional point count, which evaluated more correctly the actual worth of a. hand. a new concept was born which led to opening bids on hands which most bridge players today would not have dreamed of opening ten or fifteen years ago. All this is in explanation of South's rather thin one spade bid, fully approrcd by

doraed because of the part acorn situation. Contrary to common conception, the opening bid is made more readily when the op- ponent: have it part. score than when their slate is clean. There is some doubt that South should have bid again over three clubs. and uimilu doubt about North'l game bid. but neither bid was for off base.

The king of club: was led, and declarer ruffed the second club lead. A trump finesse was taken and lost, and East returned tho jack of diamonds which South won with the queen. After draw. mg one more round of trump, the declarer was faced with the pros- pect of losing both a diamond and a. heart to the tune of down one. He had to make one of the losers disappear without the use of lcgcrdemain it the contract wt: to be fulfilled. South solved the problem neatly by tirst cashing the ace of diamonds. then the king and ace of hearts. and throwing West on lead with I heart. These plays left West with nothing but clubs, and he had to give the declarcr a ruff and I discard, thereby eliminating the diamond loser. The line of play adopted it as eminently sound be- cause the indications were that West had started with six clubs as part of his vulnerable two club ovcrcall, two spades, two dia- monds (he had played the SlgTllA.' cant sen.-ti of diamonds on the second round of that suit). and
