E. MCKENNEY (Secretary, American Bridge League) Bridge players sometimes feel driv- en, by sheer necessity to make doubt- ful bids or give doubtful raises, East, on today’s hand, was in just that situation. North and South were vulnerable. | East's hand was weak, and his part-| ner had overcalled, while North had > raised his partner’s opening bid.) Perhaps, he reasoned, if he gave one! raise, South might stop short of game. ‘This strategy proved ineffective, or rather worked in reverse, for South, holding three cards of West's suit, and hearing that suit raised by East, he felt, when he reviewed the bidding, that the chance of making the con- tract was excellent. West had over- SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS CONTRACT PROBLEM reasoned that North must be short in &. He then jumped to game. Gouth won the opening lead of the king of diamonds with the ace. Then he laid down two rounds of trumps. Today’s Contract Problem ~ North’s contract is three no trump. After winning the opening lead, he can count only seven tricks. What play gives him the best chance to establish the two tricks needed foser and three apparent spade losers, AT THE Fernand Gravet Sure Of More Film Roles picture. a He is Ferdinand Gravet, famuos Continental film star, and the picture “The King and the Chorus Girl,” “The King and the Chorus Girl” is glamorous, whimsical comedy at its best. M. Gravet plays the role of a wealthy, profligate ex-monarch who _ becomes s Paris playboy. His titled unt and uncle try to put his royal feet on the straight and narrow path eee Alfred” loves the bright lights. Tt all blends into perfect entertain- » ment — romance, glamour, comedy, music, dancing and a new star who is theaded for the topmost heights, Our advice is: “Don’t miss it!” Rubber—N, & S. vulnerable. South West North East 14 29 2a Pass Pass Pass Opening lead—@ K. 27 called with spades, which showed at least four, and East had raised. If he held only two cards and still raised, one of these had to be an honor. South now returned his 10 of dia- monds, expecting to place West in the lead and eventually get a diseard of a losing spade on dummy’s jack. However, West, too, had been doing some tl . To defeat the contract the partner- ship must get four tricks. The dia- mond was assured, but no clubs could be won. Hence, if East and West could not win three spade tricks, the contract would be made. On this reasoning West now led the deuce of spades, East won with the king and returned his last spade. West won with the queen and then cashed the ace of spades. It was apparently a desperate chance, but actually all that it risked ‘was an overtrick, meaningless in face of the possible gain.
