The bidding was quite normal
With a high card value of 13 and s
honors, Mr.. Lockridge had a proper
no-trump opening. His partners raise
to two was correct, as was Mr.. Lock-
ridges rebid to three.
The seven Of spades was opened,
the nine-spot played from dummy,
East played the king and Mr.. Lock-
ridge won with the ace. ct will be
noted that had Mr.. Lockridge played
low from dummy East would have
ducked and the ace been forced by
the seven-spot.) A heart was next
led to the king and another heart
played from dummy. East discarded a

ace and played low spade West

dummy's jack. East, who had al
ready discarded one club, let go an
other card in that suit.
Mr.. Lockridge now led the queen

cred with the king and Mr.. Lockridge
ducked and, placing his hand face up
on the table said, Il am not claiming
anything, but I am going to make

see it," and led the 10 of diamonds.
Mr.. Lockridge won with the jack and
laid down the ace, at which point
West had to make losing discard.
He could not throw away a spade,
since that would estab blish dummy's s
six-spot. He could not throw away the
heart nine. since that would allow
declarer to set up his jack. Accord
angly, he let go the three of clubs,
whereupon Mr.. Lockridge cashed the
ace and king of clubs, stopping in
dummy, and led the six of spades,
discarding the diamond from his own
hand. West was now in the lead
with nothing but the queen-nine of
hearts, and had to give Mr.. Lock-
ridge his ninth trick.
