 EXPEQTS PLAY IT

the hand contains three hiCh-ca I'd tricks it does not have re-bid val ues. Therefore I believe 1t is bet. ter to pass with this type of hand West also passes and North. hay. ing a very fine hand, should open the bidding with one no trump, East should pass and now South can make slam try, by going to three no trump. One North play CT was then bold enough to bid six no trump. Of course six no trump Is easily made if you get the heart opening.
 The Play
 However. with a club opening. you must develop the squeeze. The trick is won in dummy with the king and a small spade led to de- clarer's queen which East wins with the king. East returns an- other club. dummy wins the trick and continues the club, declarer winning with the jack.
 The ace of clubs is then cashed by North. East must discard hearts, as he cannot let go one of his diamonds or the diamond suit will be set up. On the last club. dummy discards a heart. Declarer then returns a small spade and East's jack drops, setting the spade suit in dummy.
 Deciarerr cashes the two spades and East is heiplessly squeezed. On the first spade he can discard q heart, but. on the second spade he must either bear down to the king Of hearts or let SO one Of his dia- monds. His best play, Of course, is 10 drop the ten Of hearts. hoping that tbs decIarer will take the iinesse. but the deeiarer goes right up with the ace, capturing fhe king and successfully making hls small slam.

 As have often explained, a third hand opening may be made With very little strength. How ever. at no time should an original no trump bid be made with any thing less than the regular re- quirements. which are three to three and one-half high-card tricks. tenace positions. no single ton or weak doubleton. Therefore. If your partner makes an original no trump bid in third position, you have a right to count him for a very fine hand.
