MONDAY, MAY 25, 1853


By EosIey BIoekwood
Most attempts at deception on
the defense are in the form of
plays like winning a trick with
. king when you could have won
with the queen. More often than
not, such plays are extremely
dangerous. The reason is, of
course, they are just as likely
to fool partner as declarer.
North dealer.
Neither side vulnerable.

Starting with that word of
warning, however, it is still true
that there are many situations
where you can be certain that
a false-card or other deceptive
measure cannot possibly fool
your partner. An example would
be where partner. sitting on de-
clarer's right, leads a suit which
declarer ruffs. Here you can
false-card at will since partner
now knows every card in your
hand in the suit led.
There are other situations
where you know your deceptive
play will give partner as well as
declarer a wrong picture Of your
holding. 1t is then up to you
to decide whether your attempt
at misdirection will be more
damaging to your side or to the
enemy.
In today's deal Mr.. Dale felt
desperate measures were called
for and the chance he might de-
ceive his partner was nothing
compared to the fact that Mr..
Champion would surely fulfill his
contract if left to his own devices.
Mr.. Abel opened the king of
clubs which won. He continued
with the queen and Mr.. Cham
pion took it with the ace. He
led the deuce of hearts and A.
messed the queen. Now if Mr..
Dale had played the seven, his
normal" card here, Mr.. Cham
pion would have had no play to
bring in the heart suit except the
right play. That is, he would
simply have had to lay down the
ace Of hearts and hope the king
dropped. AS you see, it would
have dropped and the entire suit
would have run.
But Mr.. Dale dropped the nine
on the first heart lead. Unfor-
tunately for Mr.. Champion this
gave him an alternative line of
play. If Mr.. Dale had started
with the feminine doubleton Gas
seemed likely, the only way to
bring in the suit was to lead
the jack from the closed hand.
This play would trap both the
king and ten and dummy's eight
spot would win the third round
of the suit.
Mr.. Champion fell for it. He
led a spade to his king and Mr..
Abel won and caShed two more
clubs. He then returned a spade
and Mr.. Champion won and led
the jack of hearts. It was COW
cred with king and ace and Mr..
Champions jaw dropped when
Mr.. Dale played the seven. The
ten stopped the suit-and doomed
the contract.

will cost an estimated $4,000
dollars, will serve an area OF about
$50 square miles; provide an ad-
ditional 312 rural telephones
Plans call for completion late in

A feature of this big project
will be the new modern rural dial
switching unit to be located at
Bogue Chitto in the building to be
constructed by F. T. Jordan for
lease to the telephone company.
This new dial switching unit
will be connected by trunk lines to
the Brookhaven exchange and will
be considered part of that ex-
change. The monthly rates paid
by all receiving these new facili-
ties will entitle them to an un-
limited number of calls to any
other subscriber connected to the
Brookhaven exchange, without ad
ditional charges.
The two Lincoln County jobs
are part of the overall rural tele-
phone expansion job at which the
telephone company has been work
ing at a record-breaking rate for
the past years. In Mississippi
alone, Southern Bell has spent
more than 12h million dollars
for rural telephone expansion and
improvement since 1945, thereby
giving our rural areas total Of
1000 rural telephones or times
