manageress office and im provement of kitchen facilities use of entries is a very im potent ahnect of contract bridge i was reminded of this a few weeks ago when the following hand occurred at a local duplicate bridge club the dealer was west and north south were vulner able north s k j 9 h a da q9 4 cj 10 4 3 west bast s 10 5 2 s a 0 8 7 4 hj 9 5 2 h- d j 10 8 6 2 d k 7 3 co c k 7 5 2 south so 3 h k o 10 8 7 4 3 d s ca o 9 the bidding east is pass his singleton not much that he mutt go north id 2 nt south 211 4h west pass pass all pass if weal led club there is declarer tan do down so long as east doe not play the king declarer cannot avoid losing two spad es a trump and a club however when i was in the west position 1 gave declarer a chance impressed by my partners spade bid and not really wishing lo ruff with four trump i led my middle spade declarer played the jack and east won with the queen not being clairvoyant east returned a trump lo dum mys singleton ace with singletons in both hands declarer should be very careful that one opponent does not have a singleton in a side suit and get some ruffs nor mally with this combination in clubs the jack should be led so if the finesse is successful it can be repeated in this case declarer wish es to return lo hu hand as quickly as possible in order to get the trump out the club jack should be led to tempt east to cover but when east plays low declarer must play the queen now south can draw trump and concede one trump trick to west all he will lose 1 two spades and a trump the dia mond ace serves as an entry to repeat the club finesse unfortunately for declarer but luckily for us south led the club jack and let it ride when he repeated the club fi nesse i ruffed and putting my partner in with the spade ace 1 got another club ruff to set the contract when you and dummy have singletons in your hands be ware of the opponents holding slnglctoni also sometimes you have to ifte your entries quick ly in order to avoid ruffs last weeks winners at the acton bridge club were first george solly and bill wandel second pal jeffares and mrs catherine coals third mrs mary manning and mrs kay campbell former teacher
