Such an Opinion is erroneous, of course. The only difference between, a four-card suit and a five-card suit is that the small cards ot the tormer will average to produce one trick, while the small cards of the latter will produce two tricks.

Such play is called “elimination” or “stripping a hand”. . The above haidines are about the only justifiable crigtnal four-card suits that should be bid and then only as dealer or second hand.

If B leads-a club, two of Y’s clubs are good, and Z’s trumps will take the other two tricks. If B leads a diamond, Z should discard a club and trump in Y’s hand with his last trump.
