Fine Points in Bndqe
BY SHEPARD BARCLAY

diamond length, hence that East,
besides guarding the spades, was
surely also guarding hearts. His
own discarding had been done so
as 10 retain for his last five cards
in dummy the spade 6 and the
heart A-J-6-5, and in his owr
hand the spade o., heart Ks
and diamond Q. East was holding
the spade 10 and the heart
Q-10-i.
After West won that eighth
trick with his club Q, he returned
a diamond, which put the squeeze
on East. After the dummy played
a heart, East had to break his pro-
lection against the second spade
in South's hand or the third heart
in the dummy Whichever he
chose would give the declarer the
rest Of the tricks.
II West had returned a heart
instead Of a diamond, South could
have won with the K and then
could have squeezed East himself
with a lead of the diamond Q. But
as it was, East was vlctimized by
his own partner.
