The Free Press Wednesday June 1971 FEEDING TIME for nine mallard ducklings was also a big event for these Acton students who held a daylong car wash to raise money to bring the ducklings to Fairy Lake The ducklings only two weeks old were brought from the farm of Frank in to the lake Monday Shown in the picture 1 tor are Paul Nancy Gibson Bruce Fowler and Shelley Students hope to purchase a pair of swans or geese for the lake soon Staff Photo Lets Play Bridge One reason to play a hand In a trump contract rather than in no trump is to ruff opponents winners in your short suits Maybe defenders dont like to see their high cards trumped so often they wont lead suits that declarer is short ot However forcing declarer to ruff and hence lose control of the hand can be a very rewarding form of defence Such a defense is tailed sun pi forcing defence Here is an example from last weeks game the Acton Bridge Club SOUTH The NORTH EAST SOUTH PASS PASS 1 IS ALL PASS Opening lead three of hum Its difficult for East West to carry on bidding since they are vulnerable When the hand was played most pairs sold out to two spades by NorthSouth After the opening lead dummy is spread and declarer takes stock It looks like five spade tricks four diamond tricks and one club trick if the ace is on side which it is In fact every declarer made four spades except one who only made three Rounds of trump East won the heart lead and led a second heart for declarer to ruff Three rounds of trump took care of the opponents trump and then declarer led a diamond Back came another heart and declarer ruffed with his last trump He could now take his good diamond but West naturally discarded two clubs and kept his good hearts It would do declarer no good to tackle diamonds before drawing trump East could hold up one round and will get a diamond ruff if declarer leaves trump out Forcing declarer to ruff caused declarer to lose an extra trick on this deal and East West got a well deserved top for their defense Last weeks winners Last weeks winners at the Acton Bridge Club were first Ashley and Bill Coats second Norris and Cam Sinclair third Kay Campbell and Jack Coats Arena booth nets profit Acton
