CONTRACT BRIDGE
Tops in Duplicate With Four Spades Contract Decarer Gets High Score by Squeezing Out Small Slam
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League

What big difference is there in the play of the cards between du- plicate and rubber bridge?
 --e.l, in rubber bridge you try to win points. If your contract is four spades and luck is run ming with you, and you see that you have four spades cold, it is not worth while to gamble for an extra trick, if by employing squeeze play you might make five odd. The extra trick counts only 20 or 30 points and rubber bridge is not a game of petty advantages. Try to play lot of rubbers in stead.
 But in duplicate bri dgyeuonn
 But in duplicate bridge you have 10 play for every trick. Even though your contract is four odd, if ,ou can see a chance to make six or seven odd, even if you haven't bid the slam, you have to play for the extra tricks.
 Every extra trick is bound to produce few more match points, which Is what counts.
 Let's look at today's hand. First fin regard to the bidding. North has bide a club. East has over- called with a heart.
 South's double says, Partner If East had not bid hearts, that would have been my natural bid.' 7 The two spade bid, of course, is made with the hope of finding a fit with partner and North, hav- ing q secondary spade bid of his

own, correctly jumps to our.
 The Play
 The play produces six odd in the following manner:
 West opens the jack of clubs, declarer plays low from dummy and trumps in his own hand with the deuce of spades. A spade Is returned and dummy's nine spot fir 'ssed, East winning with the king.
 East returns a spade, hoping to stop declarer from huffing hearts in dummy. West plays the jack, declarer winning the trick with the ace.
 A small club is returned and ruffed by the declarer with the queen of spades. A small heart is played next and ruffed In dummy with the six of spades. The ten of spades is cashed, pick ing up Vests last trump.
 Now declarer runs off the good clubs in dummy. On the fourth club, East has to bear down to tha blank ace of hearts and the queen and jack of diamonds; de- c!arer has the ace and small diamond and the king of hearts.
 Now all declarer ha sto do Is to lead a small diamond and win with the ace, return a diamond and go right up with dummy's king, and the hand makes six odd for top on the board.
