26 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, October 26, 1967 BRIDGE By B. JAY BECKER (Top Record-Holder in Masters' Individual Championship Play) South dealer. Neither side vulnerable. NORTH K ose @K532 6K Q105 WEST EAST 99743 486 9910842 AKTS | @A6 2984 | 83 49743 SOUTH 4AQ5102 ¥3 #93107 HAl6 'The bidding: South West North East 1@ Pass 2 #£Pase 2¢@ Pass 36 Pass 3@ Pass 4@ Opening lead--four of hearts, The most usual form of de- fense against a suit contract jconsists of attacking and con- tinuing to attack declarer in a | suit where he is weak. The un- derlying prupose is to force him to use up his trumps so that, when the defenders eventually obtain the lead, they can. cash jwhatever cards remain in their long suit. While this is going on, de- jclarer does everything he can to frustrate the attack upon his trump fortress. If he is blessed with nine or more trumps be- tween his own hand and dum- jmy's he will usually be able to withstand the onslaught. When his side has eight trumps, declarer's position is sometimes seriously jeopardized, but when his total is only seven |trumps, the situation may be- {come downright precarious. It jnaturally follows from all this |that a partnership should avoid choosing as trump a suit in |which their combined holding jis only seven trumps, especially jwhen they are divided 4-3 or 15-2. | Observe South's problem in the present case. A heart is led and continued, which he ruffs. If he now draws West's trumps, he goes down. He winds up with only nine tricks -- five spades and four clubs. With all the trumps gone, the defenders eventually score the ace of dia- monds and three heart tricks. This result should not sur- prise declarer, since he starts with only a 36 per cent chance finding the trumps divided 3-3. However, South can protect himself against the more likely 4-2 trump division (48 per cent) by playing in the following man- ner: After ruffing a heart at trick two, he should lead the jack of diamonds. If he wins the trick, he draws trumps and scampers home with ten tricks. If the jack of diamonds loses to the ace and a heart is re- turned, South discards a dia- mond, deliberately refusing to ruff in order to guard against a 4-2 trump division. The de- fense is then at the end of its rope, since a heart continuation can be ruffed in dummy with- out shortening declarer' in trumps. Frenchmen Seen Top Spenders MONTREAL (CP)--If the number of francs exchanged for dollars at Expo 67 is any indica- tion, Frenchmen have been the fair's most numerous and well heeled foreign visitors, next to Americans, says the manager of Expo's only bank. "Our foreign exchange figures don't prove this, of course, since other visitors may have ex- changed their money in uptown banks or, like the British, be suffering from stringent curren- cy restrictions," Paul F. Leger, manager of the Canadian Impe- rial Bank of Commerce's Expo branch, said Tuesday in an in- terview. French francs account for 50 per cent of the bank's foreign exchange with British sterling second at 16 per cent, German deutchmarks are next at 15 per cent and Japanese yen close by at 14 per cent. The remainder of the 30 or more foreign curren- cies handled by the bank ac- = for the other five per cent, BOOKS SEIZED OSLO (AP)--Norwegian po- lice raided the premises of five Importers of sexy magazines re- cently and seized hundreds of copies deemed to be pornograph- ic, most of them from Sweden and Denmark.
