DupIicate-None vuI.

North opened the ten of clubs. When it held. he continued with a club. Leyentritt (West) ruffed, led a small spade, went right up with dummy's ace and ruffed another club in his own hand. Now he led the ten of spades and South won. South was end-played. If he led 8 heart or 8 diamond. Leventritt would let it ride around to dun- py's queen. He played back a high club, Levcntritt discarded his nine of hearts erd ruffed in dummy with the 5. de queen. He returned the queen Of diamonds, South cov- cred with the king and Leventritt won with the ace. The last trump was picked Up and the ten of dia- monds played. When North played the jack. Leventritt was careful to throw dummy's eights-pot to avoid blocking the diamond suit.
 At the very beginning, when Norths ten Of clubs held the first trick, he should have realized that if his partner, with the ace-king- queen-jack of clubs, wanted clubs continued he would have overtaken. Instead of playing another club North should have shifted to heart which would have automatically defeated the contract.
