ing with the king and dummy winning the trick with the ace.
 A small club was played from dummy. Richards in the East played the queen of clubs so as to prevent South from flnessing the ten of clubs if he held it. South, however, made a very fine play of low card-the four.
 Now, if Richards had been careless and returned his part ner's suit-a spade-South would have made his contract in the fol- lowing manner:
 The spade trick would have been won with the king. The ten of diamonds would have been cashed and then five hearts run off.
 On the fifth heart, Richards in the East would have been squeezed. He could not hold the nine and eight of diamonds and two clubs, so he would have to bear down to the king of clubs. Then the de- clarer would have had to cash the jack of diamonds in dummy, lead the jack of clubs and overtake with the ace, winning the last trick with the eight of clubs.
 However, in defeating the hand, Richards returned the king Of clubs. South was forced to win the trick with the ace and this killed his exit card from dummy.
 An especially nice try defeated by good defensive play.
