AS far as our records show,
mems first dreams of flying were
centered on the idea that they
could go through the air by flap
ping wings.
That was a mistake. The body
of a man is too heavy to lift in
such way. Moreover, human

streamlining of the birds.

Mr.. Abel had forgotten that
convention and bid six diamonds
to show one king. In disgust.
Mr.. Heinsite then put the hand
IN six no-trump.
Mr.. Dale led the eight Of
hearts. Mr.. Champion played the
seven. and the jack in the closed
hand won. Mr.. Heinsite saw II
tricks if the diamond queen was
right. so he led to dummy'S king
of diamonds. returned the suit
and hooked the jack. Mr.. Dale
won with the queen and led an
other heart. Again Mr.. Cham
pion played low over dummy's
nine spot and Mr.. Heinsite won
with the ace. Later he lost
spade trick for down one.
He promptly went into a long
harangue concerning the grand
slam force. claiming that seven
clubs was ice-cold.
He was challenged on that
statement and said he would
have played for the grand slam
as follows. Remember. he knew
where all the cards were at this |
time.)
Win the opening heart lead |
with the jack and cash the ace.
Take two rounds of clubs, ending !
on the board. Lead dummy's /
last heart and ruff it. Cash the |
ace of spades. then run all the
rest of dummy's clubs.
That would get everybody /
down to three cards. In dummy !
would be the queen of spades and |
the king-six of diamonds. The
closed hand would be ace, jack, |
seven of diamonds. Mr.. Dale
would be squeezed. He would |
either have to discard his king |
of spades or guard to his queen |
of diamonds. i
Beautiful play" said Mr.. !
Champion sarcastically. If you !
could only play that well start
ing at trick one instead Of trick |
fourteen. But / have one ques-
ton. If you are going to figure |
Dale so surely for the king OF |
spades and the queen OF dia-
mondS. why didn't you make. six |
no-trump?" |
Mr.. Champion pointed out that
it would take pretty much the
same play. That is, after two
heart tricks, six clubs, the ace
of spades and the king of dia-
mondS, MIR. Dale would have left
the high spade and the queen
and one diamond.
A spade lead would put him in
for a lead into the ace-jack Of
diamonds.
