WINNING CONTRACT By HOWARD SCHENKEN and RICHARD FREY In the course of defending a close contract, a defender must sometimes assume his partner holds a certain card to give his side a chance to defeat the hand.

It Is true that such an assumption, if erroneous, may cost an overlrick, but this is a small price to pay under the circumstances. In the deal Angeles star IJGW Mathe, gained a sizable swing for his team in the semifinal round of the All-Western Knockout Championships by defeating an apparenlly iron-clad game. Both NORTH (D) S.

i'. North-Soiilh got to pretty good contract, and apparently declarer could hold his losers to one each in hearts, diamonds and clubs. Dummy's spade ace won trick one, and the heart Jack was led, ducked all around. Soutli next finessed the diamond jack. West (Mathe) won the king, and switched to the ciub king.

He realized that South, from the bloding and early play, seemed marked with the diamond ace- queen and a six- or seven-card trump suit, probably headed by the king-quecn. To defeat the hand, East must have the club queen and the trump ace, providing an opportunity to promote West's heart tec for the setting trick. Declarer won the club ace, led a diamond to his ace, and played Ihe heart king. East look the ace, Cf.slied (he club queen, and led the club len. Nothing could now prevent West from scoring with the heart ten.

It is true that declarer need not have presented West wilh a chance for his scintillating defense. He could have entered his hand at trick three wilh the diamond ace, forsaking the finesse in order to lead the heart king before the club situation had been established. However, declarer had no way of knowing that hearts would break 3-3, and hoped to find a way of eliminating the diamond loser and his partner, Eddie Taylor, are entitled to-full crc'dit for creating their opportunity'.
