. .McKENNEY ON BRIDGE
Both Declarer and Defense Profit From Wise Use of
Hod-Up PLAY
BY WIN. e. MCKINNEY
Secretary, American Contract
Rrid0A Teague

One Of the difficult plays in con-
tract bridge is the holdup. In its
simplest form, it is the refusal to
win the first, and sometimes the
second lead of a suit opened against
you at no trump, hoping to exhaust
the hand on your right of the suit.
There are many forms of the hold
up, which you will find in defense as
well.
Here is an interesting hand given
to me by E. B. Connolly of Washing
ton. Naturally, the opening lead
of the king of spades was allowed
to hold. When West led the spade
queen, should South win with the
ace
DR.. Connolly reasoned that if the
diamond suit did not break, he could
count only eight tricks. Therefore,
even though East's Spades were ex-
hausted, he decided to hold off for
another round.
West continued with the jack of
spades, and now you zee that East
is embarrassed. If he discards eth
er O club or diamond, he will be
squeezed in that particular suit.
