On
Bridge
Everybody knows that declar-
er must sometimes begin the
play of the trump suit by lead-
ing a low trump. This gets one
round of trumpr out and enables
declarer to keep his top trumps
for control of the hand. Only
a studious bridge player knows
that the same type of play must
sometimes be made by a de-
fender.

Clab Holds
Weekly Meeting;
Members of the Sundown
(lane Demonstration Club met
in Ihe home of Mrs. P.S. Nor- 1
fleet with five members and
one new member present
Roll call was aiswered with ,
“Something I learned from a
youngster.”
Miss Jaanett.Morris present-
ed the club’s program .Miss Mor
ris is a member af the Hockley
County 4-H CMb.
During the meeting It was
announced that the home demon-
stration club will hold a rum-
mage sale April 22 In the Jack
Williams Service Station Build-
ing on North Slauder Avenue
in Sundown.
Present for the meeting were
Mmes. Pete Childs, Sam Cade,
H.B. Carter, C.L. Shults, P.S.
Norfleet, Mrs. Ellis was the new
member attending.
When today’s hand was played
a few weeks ago in the amual
Intercollegaite Bridge Cham-
pionships, West oponed the
eight of hearts, and East won
the first trick with the 10.
East’s problem was to get the
trumps out of the dummy so
that he could get four heart
tricks.
Some defenders went at It
like a bull at a gate. They led
the ace of trumps, then the
king and finally the low trump.
South ran the diamonds,
discarding a." of his losing
hearts.
A few defenders started with
the king at sprdes, stopp'd for
thought and then led the low
spr.de, This was no better. South
ran the diamonds to discard
his hearts, and East’s ruff came
much too late to do any good.
BEST DEFENSE
The only defense was for
East to lead his low spade at
the second trick. If South tried
to run the diamonds. West would
ruff the third diamond with his
worthless trump West would
then lead another heart, where-
upon East would win and draw
the rest of dummy’s trumps
before taking the setting trick
w 1th a high heart.
If declarer tried to avoid
this fate by leading a second
trump himself, East would draw
trumpr. and take three more
heart tricks.
DAILY QUESTION
As dealer you hold: S—Q 10
9, H—Q 9, D—K Q 10 9 8,
C—K 9 7. What do you say?
ANSWER: Piss. You have
12 points In high cards and 1
point for the doubleton, but
should deduct a point or so for
having an aceless hand and per-
haps another point because the
queen of hearts is not really
worth 2 points in high cards
and another point for shortness.

It was an almost lyrically

Three Students
In Auto Crash
Three students of South

he said.
