South opens in fourth position with one no trump. North, with nine points, raises to two and South is happy to accept the invitation. West opens his fourth best spade, the deuce.

With the Jack doubleton in the dummy, the only chance of making two tricks is to hope that West led from K-Q. When the King is played by West, South might as well take the first trick. There is no point in holding off since each opponent holds four spades (assuming that the opening lead was forth best.) Note that if there were three spades in dummy, South could establish the Jack by playing low. The Ace would again take the King, leaving the Jack, small behind West's Queen. South must plan his whole play at this point.

The prospects do not look very bright. the diamonds split, he has only eight tricks (one spade, one heart, four diamonds and two dubs). He must give up a trick in order to establish an extra trick in either hearts or clubs. As soon as the defense takes a trick, they will cash three spades for their book and South can not afford to lose the lead again. Which suit should he attack? If the 10 or nearts were in dummy the percentage play would be to play for the honors to split and take the finesse twice.

This line of play will succeed unless both the King -and Queen are in West. Since the 10 is in South, the finesse cannot be taken twice. Even if one of the honors is in the West hand, the 10 will be covered by the Queen or King, establishing the nine spot for the defense. Thus the only chance lies in. the club suit.

An extra trick can be built up if the suit breaks 3-3 or if either hand holds a doubleton honor. When the A-K are led, the Queen falls. A third round loses to the Jack, but the 10 is now established. When the diamonds split, the shaky contract is saved. The hand was played in Westernport and half the field made the contract.

Is there any penalty for players who do not open or bid with 14 points, but double their opponents and continually set Edna Keleher, Evergreen Park, HI. There Is nothing in the Laws of Contract Bridge thai Compels a player to bid at any time, no matter what he holds. If he so desires, he is free to pass with 20 points, or more. But Is it desirable to do no? When you hold 14 points, yon have about an ace more than your share of the total points in the deck. Thus, you should assume that It is your hand, and open the bidding in an attempt to find your' best spot.

There is considerable danger in passing there is no guarantee that anyone else has the values to open the bidding, and the liand could be passed out when your side could make a part score, or even fame. To pass 14 points Is an attempt to trap your opponents. On occa- Bion, they might overbid and give yon the opportunity to make a lucrative penalty double. Mow- ever, If they are at all competent bidders, they wouldn't get too high. and lU too often they wfll steal the contract from you.

Jack Williams, Detroit, Mich. A Tes, by thoughtful play. Sonth's problems are to guard against having the king of hearts raffed, to draw trumps and keep control of the hand. If South attempts to cash the king of hearts. East can ruff and return a trnmp, and declarer will end up a trick short.

The correct )me Is difficult to spot. After winning the opening lead and drawing three rounds of trumps, South must lead a low heart from dummy. It does not help East to ruff, so West will win the trick. Best defense Is to lead another heart. Declarer plays low from dummy and ruffs in his hand.

Now the last tnimp is drawn, discarding a club from the North hand, and a diamond Is led. West can win the ace, but dummy's king of hearts prevents. htm from running the suJt.
