(Contain 130 puzzles.) SUDOKU By Phillip Alder Look before you leap is a well-known adage. There is a bridge equivalent, which is highlighted by today's deal. South is in four spades. West leads off with the top three clubs.

How should South continue after ruffing the third? Note North's raise to two spades. This risked putting his side into a 4-3 fit, but to rebid one no-trump with no minor-suit stopper would have been worse. Support with support, especially in the majors. And if South had enough to move higher and only four spades, he would have re-bid something other than four spades (perhaps three no-trump). South's jump to four spades promised at least a five-card suit.

South will fail only if he loses one trick in each major. The textbooks will tell you that the percentage play in spades is to cash the ace and king. If declarer does that here, though, he will go down, losing one spade, one heart and two clubs. Instead, South should take the whole deal into account and do a little preparation, so that if he does Difficulty: 4 (of 5) ACROSS 1 Long-active volcano 5 Prejudiced person 10 Wall paintings 12 Incentive 13 Harshly 14 Lopsided 15 Have the blues 16 Agree silently 1 8 Cartoon Chihuahua 19 Implores 22 "Rolling in the Deep" singer industrialist 29 Keokuk native 30 Madras money 32 Recital offerings 33 Flower oil 34 Parthenon site 37 Ants at a picnic 38 Gullible person 40 Short flight 43 "The Bells" poet 44 Produce 48 Japanese theater 50 Drive forward 52 Complained annoyingly 53 Plays horseshoes la vista!" 55 James Bond's school DOWN 1 French money 2 Lose one's balance 3 Cubicle marker 4 Everybody 5-Ami cleanser 6 Anatomical passage 7 Word in a charity appeal 8 Baker's must 9 Countdown start studio 7 2 9 8 3J 3 J5 2 76 5 2 5 49 9 1 4 7 2 6 8 PREVIOUS SOLUTION Cryptoquip SFWNTSGUJOP EKFV EOLJGPKMQ SLJJFOU KM YRKNR VGNR SFLNT QGMT KU JRPWYM OMOVKOU: "JLP YLPU."
