Shew WO/(I On Bridge Habitual Play Ruins Declarer By Alfred Shcimvold Bridge players are creatures of habit.

(East hoped his partner had the ten of hearts, for then dummy would be forced to ruff.) South next led the queen of spades. West naturally covered with the king, and dummy's ace won. Declarer returned a low trump from dummy. East played the six and South win with the

jack.

West discarded a heart, and South grunted with disappointment. He still had to lose a trump and a club. The contract was doomed. IMPOSSIBLE FINESSE

What do you say? Answer: Pass or bid one spade. This is a borderline case. You would surely open the bidding if you had a sixth spade, or a singleton, or an additional jack or so; and you might open with this hand if your p inner were very conservative. With most partners you shou'd pass.

THE FACES OF BUSINESS—Important members of the U. S. business community had praise for President Johnson after this meeting with him in the White House, but their expreseions do not seem to quite match.

"I could have made the contract,” South muttered. "I could have finessed with the seven of trumps.” This was an impossible finesse. There was no way for South to know that East had both the eight and the nine of trumps. That is, there was no way for South to know about the trumps as he played the hand. That s because he made the habitual play of leading the queen of spades for his first trump finesse. Since South had no partner to inform it is not necessary for him to lead the queen of spades. Instead, he should lead the ten of spades. When West has to play the king of spades on declarer's ten, it is possible for South to work out what is going on in trumps. West’s king is almost surely singleton, and declarer must win with the ace and lead trumps twice through East’s 9-8-6 to avoid the loss of a trump trick.
