In the past hundred years the

West made his natural opening
lead, the diamond jack, and declarer
won with the ace. TrumpS were
drawn in two rounds, and declarer
then cashed his other diamond
tricks, ending in dummy. He then
led the club jack and, when East
played low. went into long but
fruitless huddle over whether to let
the jack ride or to put up the king.
With nothing to go by, he finally
guessed in favor of the king play,
and that was his finish. West took
the trick with the ace and shifted
to the seven of hearts. East captured
dummy's queen and returned a
heart, and declarer was now in the
position of having to lose two heart
tricks and two clubs.
In such a case as this it is very
good idea to try to locate one OF
the missing aces and, having done
so, to play the other opponent for
the other ace, on the theory that
when the opponents have not bid,
the best assumption is that each
holds one ace rather than that both
aces lie in one hand. Manifestly,
South should have tried to locate
the heart ace first, because the heart
position did not involve any guess
If the ace was right, good. and if it
was wrong, there was nothing that
declarer could do about it. Once
declarer found that the heart ace
was held by East, it would have been
only logical to play West for the ace
of clubs, and to let the club jack
ride for a f1neSse against the queen.

When asked about the fishing in his once-favorite spots LeDuc an- swered, "Oh, sure, the big ones are still there but they're harder to get now. Lots of people out there".
 The scenery and beautiful spots of interest visited during their trip couldn't compare with what Alaska has to offer, he said, and added they were certainly glad to be back home.
