7 axe NV Word for 1t

In some sentences, the verb is
attracted to the wrong noun or
nouns, producing a disagreement in
number between subject and verb.
For example, in this sentence: 1.-THE
view of the hills, valley and river
are magnificent, the subject is
"view," not 'hills, valley and river"
Therefore, the verb should be sim
gular: The view is magnificent.
Wrong: "The pattern and fit of

Better say: The pattern and fit

Goren on Bridqe

The postponement of trump draw
ing in the play of a slam contract
is something that runs counter to
the instincts of many players. When
the blue-ribbon contract Is reached
the panic is on and trumps have got
to be extracted. 1t may be that the
trumps will be needed as future en-
tries to establish a suit or to take
flnesse; or it may be that the dunn
mys trumps may be advantageously
employed in rufing losers. All that
means nothing to a player in panic.
Trumps have got to come out. Wit
ness South's mournful experience in
today's hand.
The bidding in today's hand was
splendid. When South made Sec
ond-round bid of one spade, North
had good reason to contemplate a
slam. He might have suggested it
mildly by bidding four spades Ga bid
of three spades would be forcing to
game but after the previous bid Of
one heart, would not be quite as
strong). but he elected to make a
more vigorous try by jumping in a
new suit, intending always to re-
turn to spades. The rest of the bid
ding was routine and the final con-
tract of six spades was eminently
sound.
West opened the jack of dia-
monds, which was won in dummy
with the ace. Declarer was up
against difficult decision as to
the choice of plays. There were
two avenues of approach One was
to set up the club suit and the other
was to play for cross-ruff. De-
clarer elected to go for the clubs.
He drew three rounds of trumps,
winding up in his own hand and
led low club toward the queen.
East won with the king and re-
turned diamond A club discard
was taken in dummy on the queen
of diamonds and then the ace of
clubs was played. When West
showed out there was no way to set
up the suit and the contract was
defeated. This was an unfortunate
break, inasmuch as declarer would
have succeeded had the clubs broken
3-2 or had the king of clubs been
with West.
My own preference would have
been to play for the cross-ruff.
Unless the diamonds are 60 (an
improbable distribution) the cross
ruff will succeed, as follows: Three
rounds of diamonds are played and
a club discarded from dummy. Now
the ace and another club. East will
win and presumably lead a trump.
Since all the trumps are high and
there is no danger of an over-ruff,
three clubs are ruffed in dummy and
three hearts in the closed hand for
q total of II tricks.
