Sheinwold On Bridge Ruff With Care To Keep Entries By Alfred Sheinwold Ruffing is the subject of each hand this week.

The South hand isn't quite worth a jump to four spades on the second round. Three spades would be a more accurate bid, after which North would probably raise to game. When the hand was actually played. South had timid partner and decided to

risk the overbid.

West opened the queen of hearts, and dummy won with the ace. Declarer cashed the ace of clubs and ruffed a club with the eight of spades. This was a key play since it left three trump en-

j tries in dummy.

j South led the deuce of spades to dummy's seven and ruffed a i chib with the Jack of spades. - Once again, the idea was to keep entries to dummy’s trumps.

CONTINtTES PLAN

South continued his plan by leading the nine of spades to dummy's ten. He then ruffed another club, this time with the

ace of trumps.

Finally, South led the queen' of spades to dummy’s king, draw-,., ing West’s last trump. The lead was now in dummy, and declarer could cash the last two clubs to fullfill the contract. South’s line of play is very simple, but he must execute it with care. Each club ruff mustbe made with a high trump to ? ; make sure of keeping all possiblq trump entries to dummy. If South tries to ruff his heart an diamond losers in dummy, the op-’ ponents will lead trumps td limit dummy to one ruff. This de-^ fense will hold South to nine* tricks.
