The Bidding


 As the writer advocates the bid- ding of four-card suits before i've card suit, South would start the bidding with one spade, West would pass, and North bid two spades. Some authorities advo- cate the support of partners suit to two to show very weak hand, but the writerS prefers to make it a forcing bid requiring partner to bid once more, although no prom ise is made for game. South would respond with four hearts-a jump shift bid. North's next bid i,would be five clubs, South five no trump, North six spades and South seven spades.
 The Play
 The king of diamonds is the opening lead. by West, which is won by the declarer with the ace. North's hand is void of hearts. therefore South, the declarer, as- void of clubs or spades. If one CT cannot make his contract, so clubs, he decides to try for the LII III AlSeAtS anu ASHAc IAO eASS and king of hearts, West follows with the five and seven, the nine and jack of diamonds are discard ed from dummy, East follows with the three and four of hearts. The six of diamonds is then led and trumped in dummy with the three of spades. Declarer returns the nine of spades from dummy, East plays the seven, which immediately informs the declarer that he will find four spades in the West hand. DecIarer overtakes with the jack of spades and now leads the deuce of hearts, which is trumped in dummy with the ten of spades. The queen of spades is returned from dummy, East discarding a club, declarer overtaking with the ace of spades. Declarer then plays the king of spades and follows with the eight of spades, which picks up Vests two spades. Two clubs are discarded from dummy, East discarding diamond and a club. Declarer now plays his queen of hearts, which picks up Vests ten an East's jack, This makes the declarer's six of hearts good, and the last two tricks are won in dummy with the ace and king of clubs.
 Many players might make the mistake of attempting to set the club suit, and of course the con- tract would then be defeated.
