Never Give Up Until Last Trick Dixes Bridge Experts A., Advise
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

Card-playing is an important fea- ture of the leisure life of the south, and as a result, Ihave seen many southern players who could give some northern experts lesson or two. Geogre w. Beynon, the south ern director of te American Contract Bridge League, sent me today's hand, which was played recently in one of his tournaments.
 North won the opening lead with the queen of spades, and for want of a better play, returned the spade. East won and led a club, which was won by declarer with the king. He led. .back a club, only to discover the bad break in the suit.
 One of dummy's spades was led, declarer discarding a heart. East won and led heart, North's queen winning. At this point declarer counted his tricks-one spade, two hearts, one diamond and four clubs --and said, Well, I'll take my tricks and go down one.'
