WILLIAM H. QUINN Culbertson Associate Mrs. William H. Quinn, Culbert son associate, today explains the interesting play of a small slam contract bid and made in the re cent Statesman tournament. The board was No. 16. The hand, on which a six-diamond contract was reached by west, was: North V 95 KQ J 7 5 4 3 2 West East A 7 A A 10 8 AKQ7 V 8 2 A J 10 8 5 3 4KQ94 8 A 10 9 6 South A Q 8 5 4 3 2 V J 10 6 4 3 7 2 The play: North would lead the king of clubs. West stops and plans the play of the hand. The crucial play is oftentimes the first trick. Form a habit of planning the play of the hand before yon play from dummy. This habit is invaluable. ,West takes inventory of .his losses. He has a. losing spade, so he decides to play the "hold np." refusing to take the club trick. This "bold up" gives him an op portunity to discard the spade on the ace of clubs. The second lead of clubs,' he ruffs, .leads out trumps, leads hearts, ruffing the small heart in dummy. Rest of the hand is a lay-down. If west plays the ace of spades from dummy, south will ruff, and declarer has to lose a spade trick. So the only chance is to use the hold up for a discard of the spade. College Student Is Handicapped in Writing for While SUNNYSIDE, Jan. 9. Ernest Pearsen, son of D. S.
