In a 24-table duplicate game South
became declarer at six clubs at 10
tables. and at five clubs at the other
five tables. In each instance East
had bid hearts. At % tables the
seven Of hearts was opened, where
upon declarer went up with the ace
and then, when he found trumps did
not break, proceeded to make six
clubs by running all his clubs and
diamonds. Dummys last three cards
were the ace-queen Of spades and
the jack of hearts, whereas deciarer
held two low spades and heart.
East in each instance discarded
down to singleton heart. Declarer
threw him In and made his 18th
and 18th tricks with the ace-queen
of spades.
At Mr.. Towards table, however,
North cue-bid in hearts, whereupon
Mr.. Howard, who sat West, after
mature elaboration opened the 10
Of spades. Now there was no way
In which declarer could avoid the
loss of two tricks, and Mr.. Howard
received top score, which helped
him to win the tournament.
Mr.. Howard points out that,
strangely enough, six no-trump by
North could not be beaten, since
East would be on lead. Finally, 1t
certainly speaks we'll for the caliber
Of Norwegian bridge that every de-
clarer recognized the end-play and
