. McKENNEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ
Take Chance Hope for Lucky Breaks If You Try This
 Optimistic Contract

This is the eighth of a series of 25 bridge quizzes. Par is 100. De- duet 20 points if you answer in- correctly question No. l; 15 for No. 2; 10 for No. 3; and 5 for No. 4. Keep your daily score and see how high an average you can main- tain.
 l. If South bids spade, and re- bids spades over North's two dia- mond bid, should North support spades or rebid diamonds?
 2. Is Souths bid of four spades sound?
 3. Should West lead the king of clubs or his fourth best clubP
 4. When South wins the open- ing club, should he return a club, hoping to ruff the third one?
 Solution to Bridge Quiz
 1. South's opening bid and re- bid of spades is made for the pur- pose of showing a five-card suit. While North's diamonds are also five cards in length, he should support the major suit, with three in his hand and knowing from the bidding that his partner has five.
 2. In rubber bridge, Souths bid of four spades is a good gam ble. Tn duplicate bridge it would be a little optimistic. Norths bid of three spades shows that all he has is the diamond bid shown on the first round, and now three spades. With nothing in hearts.

South will have to have a good break to make his contract.
 3. When holding three honors in sequence, the top honor should be led except in the case of the ace-king-queen, when the king is led.
 4. South must not return a club. He must take the one chance he has to make his contract - cash the ace and king of trumps, then two rounds of diamonds and ruff the third diamond, hoping there by to establish two diamond tricks for discards.
