aces, because he merely is trusting
to luck for the fourth trick.
Mr. Turpin was in the south.
West opened the jack of clubs and
the declarer was careful not to put
the king on from dummy. West
continued. with the ten Of clubs.
Again the king refused to go up,
and Mr.. Turpin trumped with the
five Of spades.
He then took two rounds Of spades
and led the king of diamonds. East
refused to win the first round, but
South continued with the queen of
diamonds. He excited with the nine
Of diamonds, North winning the
trick with the jack.
Mr. Turpin then led the queen
of spades and East was up against
bad discard If he dropped a
heart, declarer would set the fourth
heart. while, if he let go the queen
of clubs, the declarer would leac
the eight from dummy. which would
force East's ace and the king would
be set for a needed discard-a neat
squeeze play.
And Mr.. Turpin, by employing
this interesting squeeze, had made
his contract of four odd doubled.
