 trick, West discards the three of
 spades. marking him with five
 spades.
 The king of spades is cashed.
 Then the ace of clubs is played,
 followed by a small club, upon
 which East drops the jack, and the declarer's hopes rise. The trick is
 won with the king and another club
 led, East winning with the queen. East has nothing but hearts left. so he returns a small heart, which is won in dummy with the queen. The eight of clubs is led and the losing spade discarded.
 The heart is led and the jack finessed, which gives South his contract at six-odd.
 Were East to return the king of hearts, declarer would win the trick in his hand with the ace. play a small heart to dummy's queen, discard the losing spade on the last club and then re-enter his hand with the fourth diamond. This Is how the hand was made, but it was not a good bid, for de- c1arer had to have luck with him and find the queen and jack of clubs, together with the king of hearts, in the East hand.

 rather foolish to get into a six no trump contract without a long suit. To make six no trump you usually need something besides high cards. You need at least one fve-card suit.
 However, I will say this about to- days hand: if you get into a six no trump contract. you should do your best to try to make it.
 The Play.
 When West opens the four of spades, declarer should play the ten from dummy, hoping 1t will hold. Of course, East plays the queen and the trick has to be won with the ace.
 Now you can see that there is no chance of making the contract unless East has both the queen- jack of clubs and the king of hearts. Next, three diamonds are
