Contract Bridge I: Josephine Culbertson IATECHISM FOR DECLARERS

Whenever a declarer is tempted to assume that a certain card is marked in this or that opposing band. it is an excellent idea to atop and ask himself: "Suppose that ace tor king or queen) isn't where it's supposed to be? Can I make the contract anyway?"

In a surprising proportion of cases the answer will be "yes." For example

Yes. sir. he had high hopes. Many times he had stood on the shore of the pond of Paddy the Beaver. looking out at Paddy's house built in the water. Many times in winter he had walked out on the ice to the roof of that house. Sometimes the Beaver scent had come up through little air- holes. and driven him almost crazy with longing for a Beaver din- ner. Always he had found that roof impossible to tear open. You see. before the coming of Jack Frost. Paddy and Mrs. Paddy had plastered that roof with mud. It had worked all in between the sticks of which that root was made. Then when Jack Frost had come he had frozen it hard, so hard that not even Buster Bear could pull it open.

Now. melting snow way up on the Mountain and on the foot- hills had made a flood. and the water had come down with such force that with the help of a big log it had brought down, a hole had been knocked in the Beaver dam. The water which had been rising fast in that little pond began to go down almost as fast. Paddy and Mrs. Paddy with the help of two young Beavers whose home farther up in the Green Forest had been washed out. were working hard to mend that break in the dam. in spite of all they could do the water soon was run- ning out of that pond faster than it was coming in, for that was a bad break. it was when he notic- ed how fast the water was going

East gave long consideration to sacrificing at i'ive spades but. luckily for his own side. decided against it.

in a case of this sort the play- or can't simply ”save" at the current level and let it go at that -he must have reasonable as- surance that he won't have to sacrifice at the six-level if the op- ponents bid a slam. Obviously East couldn't be too confident that the enemy couldn't make a slam.

West opened the king of clubs. and after winning with the blank ace. declarcr cashed two high hearts. then turned to the estab- lishment of tlie diamond suit East took the third round of dia- moods. and his shift to spades proved very annoying to South. who quite apparently had counted on the ace of spades to be in East's hand. with the spade bid.

South should have been some- what mora cautious. Success was in sight right from the start. even if the ace of spades was wrong (as it was so very likely to bet.

Instead of risking the loss of a diamond to East. the dangerous hand. South should have put that

long low that Old Man Coyote could walk out to that house.

down that Old Man Coyotes hopes began to rise. What if so much water should run out that that house would no longer be out in the water? Then he could walk out to that house. and perhaps get into it. If not. he might catch one of those Beavers going in. or coming out.

At long last the water was so low that Old Man Coyote could walk out to that house. The water only covered his feet. and he did- n't mind that. The four Beavers were so busy at the dam that he was sure they did not notice him. ”l'll just go out, find the doorway, then know just what to do." thought Old Man Coyote.

He moved out from a point that enabled him to keep the house between those hard-working Beav- ers and himself. When he got out to their house, he cautious- ly began looking for a doorway. There wasn't any on his side of the house. He worked his way around until he had been almost completely around the house, but there was no doorway. At one place the water was deeper than anywhere else. lle couldn't wade there. but he could see down in the water. and he couldn't see any doorway. It was a disap- pointment. lt was a very great disappointment. Without a door- way. he couldnt get into that house. But if he couldn't get in. how could those Beavers get in? Cautiously peeping around the house, he saw Mrs. Paddy swim- ming toward the house. Perhaps she would come where the water was so shallow.

Keeping behind that house so that only his nose and one eye could be seen from the other side as he peeped around. he saw Mrs. Paddy come nearer. and nearer. Then while she was still out in the deepest part of what was left of the pond. she suddenly disappeared. Presently. Old Man Coyote heard faint sounds coming through the wall of that house. He guessed that Mrs. Paddy was inside.
