CONTRACT BRIDGE
 BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
Cross-Ruf With Care-Analyze Your Hand Down To Very Last Trick If You Want To Succeed With
 Mana
Secretary of the American Bridge League
This Maneuver.

I don't believe that even the good player pays enough atten- tion to 6 cross -ruffing hand. Before starting 8 cross-ruff a card, you must analyze it completely.
 You cannot look ahead simply to establishing a card in certain suit, but you must figure what is going to happen right down to the 18th and 18th tricks. Today's hand is an example. It was played fl. the final session of the national open contract pair championship event of the national tournament at Cincinnati.
 South. by bidding three suits, showed his partner q five-four- four distribution. With this in- formation. North correctly took his partner to six odd.
 The Play
 Vests opening lead was the queen of diamonds, which South won with the ace. Now the de- clarer, before playing to the next trick, could see that two losing diamonds could be discarded on the ace and king of spades. How ever, that meant that three clubs in declarer's hand must be ruffed. Would this be possible without an over-ruff?
