iherore the play had progressed very

far. declarer found that he was not only in high contract, but a con- tract that was virtually unmanage- able. Rusted down from the start by club leads. declarer never could cash in his spade tricks. and the ruult was a 900-point penalty - iiot a very good "sacrifice"!

It was South's fault. of course. that the bidding reached such a high level, but it was North's fault that the penalty was so big. South had not bid his tivo suits in such a way as to indicate equal lengths: he had rebld spades before ment- ionlng hearts. Thus North should have been absolutely sure that South had greater length (and probably greater sirengihi in spades than in hearts, and moreover, North should have forseeii. because of his own four clubs. that South would immediately be shortened in trumps. ;

superficially. the A-5-2 of hearts was better support than the J-D of spades. but this was only an elementary analysis. Since South was marked with at least six spades. he would be better able to starve off the club attack with spades as trump than with his shorter heart stilt. It is true that south would not have been notably successful at
