. MeKEkkEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ
Clever Declarer Makes Opponents Bids Help Make Excit
 ing Contract

This misplayed tournament hand was a thrilling one to watch. There was plenty of action in the bidding. West did everything in his power to stop South from going to game, and although it seemed highly i'm probable that South would bid five hearts, he did bid it. Vests lively bidding should have helped him to make his contract.
 The play of the hand may look rather normal. The second round of spades was trumped by South, and two rounds of trumpS were taken, the second won in dummy.
 Now the club fineSse was taken and lost to the king. West returned 8 diamond, South won and caShed the ace and jack of clubs, discard ing a diamond from dummy. De- clarer then ran the rest of his trumps, hoping for something to turn up, but West naturally saved his diamond stopper and set the contract.
 There is a very simple way to make this hand. In the first place, the declarer should know from the bidding that West holds the king of clubs, and undoubtedly the dia- mond queen also.
 After picking up the trumps, the ace of diamonds should be played, and when the ten falls from the West hand, the declarer should be happy. All he has to do now Is to cash the king of diamonds and lead the third round of the suit, throw ing West into the lead and forcing him either to lead a club Into the
 ace-queen, or another spade. If the latter. declarer will discard . club from dummy and run In his own hand. Now the dummy is solid. Even though the club iinesse Is taken, however, the hand can be
