CONTRACT BRIDGE
WWIEN FOR CENTRAL PRESS
By L V. SHEPARD
FAMOUS BRIDGE TEACHES
CAN SOUTH GO GAME?
THE FOLLOWING hand Is of an
Important type. Corrective defensive
tactics, in place of routine tactics,
may defeat a contract one or more
tricks. Improper offensive tactics,
Instead of more careful play, also
may lose an added trick or two. The
type of hand is well worth study by
all players.

Bidding went: 1-Heart, on cards
Justifying a pre-emptive call of 4-
Hearts, and nearly strong enough for
an opening bid of 2-Hcarts; West,
2- North, 2-Spades; East,
3- South, 4-Hearts, which
West doubled, it may be asked why?
West’s tactics will answer that ques
tion.
The average player sitting West
will at once take his 2 defensive dia
mond tricks. Later on he will win a
single added trick in trumps, thus
standing no chance of defeating the
contract. But West was better than
an average player. He knew the type
of hands about the table, and the
best chance to defeat the contract
When you hold a certain trump

trick, with one or more useless
trumps, and hold a singleton, instead
of at once leading your side’s best
suit, lead the singleton. When de
clarer leads trumps you may at once
win your trick in that suit, lead your
suit to put partner in, so that he
may lead back your short suit for
you to ruff. Following the above
sound defensive rule, West’s openin#
lead was his 9 of clubs, which was
won by the declarer, as West expect
ed it to be.
Had declarer led trumps West
would have won the first trick with
his Ace of hearts. A low diamond
would have put East in. He would
have led back a club. West would
have won the third defensive trick
by ruffing. Another trick would have
been won by East in diamonds and
another ruff by West would have de
feated the contract 2 tricks.
Fortunately for South, he knew
what had been planned, and, better
still, he knew bow to circumvent de
fenders’ tactics and held the means
to do this. Instead of lending trumps
South won three immediate spads
tricks. On the third one he discard
ed a losing diamond, thus saving 2
tricks —a diamond trick and a club
ruff. He led dummy’s last spade. If
East followed smt and South dis
carded a diamond 5-odd could be
made. If West held the missing
spade and East could not ruff a small
slam was assured. When Fast ruffed
the fourth lead of spades it made a
trick’s difference whether decipher!
overruffed, then gave opponents 4
single diamond, the Ace of trb+npJ
and a ruff of clubs or tfidrar^ea^hi W
last diamond, thus giving oppoi>jeihta
only a ruff of spades and the. Ace of
trufnps. Os course South "those tlia
5-odd score, by not overruffing. j
