Narth went directly to three no Trump Tho a jump rebid of three clubs would have been the Choice of most experienced players the six of clubs was opened and Declarer ducked in Dummy permitting East to win the trick with the Jack. The shift was to the King of diamonds which was allowed to hold but South took the Queen of diamonds Continua Tion with the Ace. When the ten of Diamond appeared from the West hand Declarer had another Topper in the suit it appeared that the heart Sutt would be required to provide five of the nine tricks in Declarer budget but this would hinge on finding a three three division in the suit which is decidedly against the Odds. In an Effort to test the suit Schenken cashed the King and Queen of hearts and West followed with the six and the three in that order. This proved to be very enlightening to the Declarer for he knew West to be an inveterate Signaller on defense. He would always give his partner a count in the Sutt Declarer led. If he started an Echo As in the present Case that meant that he had either two or four cards in the Uit this made it Clear to Schenken that hearts were not going to break so he abandoned the suit and led the Jack of Spades from Dummy. East covered with the King and South won with his Ace. A Spade was returned and West stepped in with the Queen to Lead another club. The King and Ace of clubs were played from Dummy followed by the established ten of Spades on which Schenken discarded i remain ing diamonds. Another Spade threw West in for the fourth defensive trick but since he was Down to nothing but the Lack nine of hearts he was obliged to surrender the Las two tricks to Declarer s Ace ten.
