Contract Bridge By Josephine Culbertson “ A NEAR-HIT south had a good general idea about playing today's deal, but he overlooked a vital point. South dealer. Neither side vulnerable. The bidding: South Welt North East 1 Q Pass 1 Q Peal 2 Q Pass 2 N T Pan S g Pass 4 q. Pan 64. Pass Pass Pas! West opened his fourth-highest heart. Declarer, after weighing his resources for some time. put up the heart ace and immediately ruffed a heart with the club ace. He then returned to dummy by leading the club deuce to the eight and ruffed another heart, Using the club king. Now, having increased the trick- taking power of the combined hands by using two of his own trumps for rufiers. South led the club nine and drew trumps, dis- carding the spade. All would have been well for him if the diamonds had dropped 3-3, but East un- klndly refused to discard one of hi: four cards in that suit. and the consequence was that South en- ded up with the quite unsatisfact- ory total of ii tricks. South's dummy-reversal plan was good as far as it went, but he should have realized that dummy lacked the entries for the full consummation of that plan. The right line of play was to combine several chances. After wrinning the first trick with the heart ace, South should have led a sped; and iinessed. West would win and pro- sumabiy return a heart-no other return would hurt declarer. South would ruff this hish. lead a low trump to dummy and ruff another heart high, then lead his last trump. Now dummy would pick up West's third trump while South discarded a spade. Finally, South could test the diamond break. and, seeing that East had the suit stopped, he could ruff his fourth diamond in dummy and fall back on the last chance —- another spade fin- esse. The normal success of this Oltl Blltarlel. second lpade finesse would fulfill the contract. - waswau mum r eréoeeu wi-ia-riahwu - s ooiuoneafl Iy Alas Raymond HEY!
