Trying to force an entry to dummy,
both declarers played the queen of
spades and, in Mrs. Goldberger's case,
West played his ace, and the de-
fense took no more tricks, as the
diamond suit furnished a sufficient

Mrs. Kotteck, however, allowed the
queen to hold, and when declarer
led another spade, again played low,
meanwhile maintaining perfect
poker face. Declarer was faced with
a difficult guess. He did not know
which opponent held the missing
ace, and after considerable thought
decided that Mr.. Leeds had held off

Dummy's only re-entry was now
lost forever. and declarer could take
but seven tricks.
