 The Play
 North has the opening lead and as his longest and strongest suit hearts-is headed by jack, ten !, nine, the jack of hearts be open. The four spot would be played by dummy and if South were now cereless and played the three, the declarer would win the trick with the ace, immediately return a small spade which North will win with the king. Now when North returns the ten of hearts, the declarer would play the seven from dummy and South would be in with the queen of hearts. Regardless of what he leads the declarer is ging to be able to knock out North's only entry card-the ace of spades before the heart suit is established
 How easy 1t would be for South to defeat the declarer's cantract by simply playing the queen of hearts on hiss partners jack. West, the declarer, would refuse to win the trick. playing the deuce. South would lead the three of hearts which the declarer would win with the ace. Declarer would then lead his four of spades which North would win with the king and iin- mediately return the six of hearts which dummy would be forced to win with the king, South discard ing the six of diamonds. Now, when the declarer leads the ten of spades from dummy. North will win the trick with the ace and cash his ten and nine of hearts.
 By playing the hand in this manner, North and South would win five tricks and thereby defeat the declarer's contrict one thick.
