By RICK DU BROW HOLLYWOOD UPI — Viewers who tuned in CBS-TV Monday night watched one of the most potent ratings lineups in television history, according to the latest statistical surveys. The national ratings for the two weeks ending Feb. 4 indicate that the four most popular shows were all Monday night CBS-TV presentations: Andy Griffith in first place, Lucille Ball next, “Family Affair” third-ranked, and “Gunsmoke” after that. They comprise a two-and-a-half-hour block of programming from 7:30 to 10 p.m. EST. Under the circumstances, NBC- TV’s much - talked - about series, “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-in”—which must face the head-on competition of “Gunsmoke” and Miss Ball—is doing comparatively well. The “Laugh-in” series got a respectable rating and tied for 45th place—which isn’t bad even under normal circustances. Ninety-nine programs were listed, and "Laugh-in” did much better than many long-running, popular shows. The fact is that “Laugh-in” is likely to have more trouble getting fresh material than from tough competition. Another contemporary show that did well in the ratings was NBC-TV’s “I Spy,” which picked itself up sharply in the statistical race and came in 41st. In contrast to this good rating NBC-TV’s “Star Trek,” the sub-

ject of much childishly devoted fan mail, placed way behind, in 68th position. Both series have been subject of renewal discussions, and the network could do worse than to bring back both. But there is no question that “I Spy” is vastly superior in every way. “Star Trek,” in fact, finished so low that a series that came in ahead of it, in 67th place, CBS-TV’s “Cimarron Strip,” has been cancelled. “Cimarron Strip” is a new 90-minute western that never caught on, and unless the network reverses itself it will soon ride thataway into the sunset. The failure of this western is a big blow to CBS-TV, which had a lot of hopes riding on it— chiefly the financial dream of being able to win Thursday nights with only two programs: “Cimarron Strip” and weekly movies. Another failure that must have hurt in the executive suites was NBC-TV’s two-hour original drama “Flesh and Blood,” for which the network paid author William Hanley $112,500. Not only did it get a downbeat critical reaction — it also finished 87th in the ratings. And then there are the final notes concerning the relatively brief but spectacular run of ABC-TV’s “Batman.” This shrewdly promoted series, which came in 75th in the ratings, will present its final episode March 14.

CONTRACT BRIDGE By B. Jay Becker (Top Record-Holder hi Maetonf IndfvMual Championship Ploy)

West dealer. North-South vulnerable. NORTH 4 K853 VK94 ♦ KQ7 *1062 WEST EAST 49 4A64 V Q76 410532 48543 41092 4AKQJ9 *874 SOUTH 4QJJ079 4 A JR 4 AJ6 *5* The bidding: West North East Sooth 1 * Paee Pass 14 Paso 24 Pass 44 Opening lead—king Of clubs. The "backward finesse” is a play very seldom used but highly effective when the proper circumstances arise. "Backward” refers to the unusual direction in which the finesse is taken, not the declarer’s intelligence. Today's hand illustrates the principle. Let’s say you’re declarer at four spades and West leads three rounds of clubs. You ruff and play the queen of spades. East taking the ace and returning a spade. After drawing East’s last trump, you are faced with the problem of avoiding a heart loser.

Ordinarily, this would not be much of a problem. You would play a low heart to the king, return a heart, and finesse the jack. This method of play would normally succeed about half the time. It. would fail in the present deal because West has the

queen.

But you can tell from the bidding that the normal way of playing the hearts is destined to fail. First, West would be unlikely to open the bidding without the queen of hearts, and second, this view is strongly fortified by East’s pass. It is highly unlikely that East would pass one club if he had both the ace of spades and queen of hearts. You should therefore invoke the backward finesse. You should lead the jack of hearts, intending to finesse if West follows low. In the actual case, the hand would be over if West followed low. So let’s say West covers with the queen, which you win with the king. You now return a heart and finesse the eight. When it turns out that East has the ten, you make the contract. Mathematically, the backward finesse succeeds in only 25% of the cases in a random series of deals. West will have the queen and East the ten only a fourth of the time. For that reason the play is seldom used. But where West is known to have the queen, the backward finesse is clearly the right play.
