was to return a small spade, and when West played the seven, the eight in dummy took the trick.
 A small club then was played, declarer winning with the ace, and, before leading another trump, his proper play was the five of clubs.
 West trumped, and the small club was played from dummy. West returned the queen of hearts, which was won by the ace. and declarer led the ten of spades from dummy, overtaking with the king in his own hand. He then led a small diamond, trumping with the queen in dummy. and played out the king and queen of clubs. South discarded two hearts and West was forced to drop a heart and diamond.
 At the eleventh trick the three of spades was played from dummy and overtaken by the four, only West was squeezed. He must dis card either his last diamond or the ten of hearts, and declarer makes the remaining tricks.
 If West refused to trump the second club, Smith would win In dummy with the queen and imme- diate1y return small club, trump ing in his own hand with the king of spades. He then would finesse through Vests jack of spades, and his only loser would be a heart trick.
