Bidding: W N P 2 P 3 P P E P P P By ED SIMONS Director of League Bridge Lessons Of all the plays which occur in bridge, the one which seems to carry with it the highest degree of distinction is the squeeze. Because of its relative rarity, the play is not one of the most important fa- cets of the game. Yet the ability to recognize and execute a squeeze C so enhances the player's reputation that it usually is the first advanced play that the budding expert tries to master. North's jump shift to 2 Dia- monds would be classed as some- what aggressive. A slightly strong- er hand is usually required from this bid which is forcing to game. However, it is frequently wise to make such a forcing bid as soon as possible in order to leave bid- ding space to show other features of the han din exploring the pos-' sibilities of slam. After this initial outburst, the bidding proceeded c'almly to 3 NT. THE OPENING lead was the 3 of hearts. East played the king and south won the trick with the ace. A ..

If east can be induced to discard a spade, south's 5 will win, or if west discards a heart north's 8 will win. When the diamond 5 is led, east must discard a club. Now south recog- nizes his 5 of spades will never win a trick and can discard it. Likewise, west must discard a club, lest the dummy's 8 of hearts win a trick. But now the king and ace of clubs remove all clubs from de- fenders hands, and south wins the last trick with the 10 of clubs.
