By Josephine Culbertson A .-.L'Lu2-.-J1-t-r.-'JQiIJL-- SIGNALS

In no department of bridge is a player's skill (or lack of skill) re- vealed as quickly as in his use of signal cards on defense. Experts guide each other beautifully in this respect-giving information that may be needed; withholding information which would be of greater help to the enemy. Beyond all this. in signalling. experts do not waste 3 card which might easily turn into a trick-as East did in this case;

North's bidding was too optimis- tic. but sometimes such tactics win out. . West made his most attractive-l opening-the spade jack. Deciarcr read this as Wcst.'s top spade-he; scarcely would have opened from K.J-and so put up the ace. East. to encourage his partner, played the nine-spot. tl-lc was soon to regret this extravagance.)

Declarer drew. trumps. ending up in dummy. and then led a spade. At this point East could have re-

South would have had to use his queen to shut out Wests ten-but East compounded his errors-he put up the king! That sounded the death-knell of the defense. After taking his spade king, East, returned a. diamond. Declarer won with the ace. led a club to the ace. and then dummy's last spade to-- ward his own hand. East should have had the 9-8 of spades at this point, against South's Q-7, but what he actually had was 8-5. So South was in a perfect finessing position. and by winning these two spade tricks. he collected. in all. five trumps, three spades and,

two minor-suit does, to fulfill that contract.
