The colonel smiled.
 q don't know if they elected me president of the league because they thought was a good bridge player y he said, but you know I've just been lucky" And here is hand the col onel showed me.
 After taking a look at dummy, West shifted to the king of dia- monds, North played low and East played the deuce. West continued with the queen of hearts and Gill (South) ruffed.
 The colonel cashed three top trumps, then led the king of clubs. West won and led third heart, which declarer ruffed. When de- clarer cashed the two clubs and the last trump, West was squeezed in the red suits and declarer won the
