The popular (and erroneous)
version Of this French term is "croy

mispronounced to rhyme with stoics.
Since 1915 the croix de guerre

West opened the jack of diamonds,
dummy f1nessed, and East won with
the king. A low heart return forced
South to hop up with the ace and
look for some new way to win the
twelfth trick. Obviously, he could
take six trumps. three clubs and
the two red aces; but the big ques-
ton was whether to play for 3-3
break of the clubs or to finesse
through West for the jack.
Declarer quite properly decided to
make up his mind at the last posi-
BILE moment Accordingly, he drew
trumps, discarded heart on dunn
my's diamond ace, and then ran his
four remaining trumpS.
West was obliged to jettison every
thing but the four clubs, since a
club discard at any point would have
solved South's problem automati-
cally And South, seeing West dis
card all the diamonds and the ten
and king of hearts. became con-
vinced that such heroic measures
were inspired by a desire to retain
four clubs. He therefore cashed the
club king and ace. and then finessed
the ten of clubs, thus fulfilling the
slam contract.
