This hand presents & difficult de- fense. South has to recognize im- mediately that he may be squeezed by Vests diamond leads.
 The best play is to allow West to win the opening club lead, and now declarer knocks out the ace of dia- monds. South leads another small club and West is forced to jump up with his second honor. Declarer now cashcs his diamonds, discarding a spade from dummy.
 South has to make two discards.. The first one is easy-the i've oi spades--but then he has 8 prop- lem. To discard heart will allow the declarer to run four heart tricks. To let go a club will permit declarer to run of his three heart tricks ana then toss South in with club, forc- ing him to lead spade.
 Therefore, the only play that South can intelligently make is to discard his ace of clubs, and the play is not too difficult. North is known to have the ten Of clubs from his opening lead of the jack. The play defeats the contract, as North and South will make two clubs, two spades and the ace Of diamonds. If south makes the mistake of
