CONTRACT BRIDGE
You'd Fail By Finessing Smart Player Takes No Chance
 With Long Suit; Surrenders Trick On Which He Dscards Loses
By VIM. B. MCKINNEY

To-day's is not a difficult hand, but one in which a great many players would fail. Why? Be- cause they would take an unneces- sary, or losing, finesse.
 Remember that your first obli- gation is to make your, contract, extra tricks come later. Contract is not game of petty advantages. The extra 30 or 60 points that you might make mean nothing in comparison to the loss you suffer if you fail to make your contract.
 Therefore, why try to pick up the king of trump?
 The Bidding
 South is justified in opening the contract with one spade. even though he holds only ? 1-2 prim- ary tricks. He does have a six card trump suit. and basis for mak ing an original bid in contract is a six-card suit with ? 12 primary tricks.
 If you only have a five-card suit you need three primary tricks, and a four-card suit, which be- comes the defensive type hand. re- quires 3 1-2 tricks. Of course a hand with two five-card suits is an aggressive type and can be opened with 2 1-2 primary tricks. If one suit does not fit your part ner's hand. in all probability the other one. will. n,As -s. #
