The fourth Philippine g In-
ternational Tournament will
be held in Manila Nov. 949.
Walter Browne of
Berkeley, Calif., and Kenneth
Rogoff of Rochester, N.Y.,
finished first and second, re-
spectively, in the recent 'U.S.
championship, and will rep-
resent the United States
(zone 5) in the 1976 World
Chess Federation (FIDE) in-
terzonal competitions.
Robert Byrne of Scarbor-
ough, N.Y., will also repre-
sent the United States in the
interzonaLs as a result of his
achievements in the previous
cycle. Byrne played in the
1974 Candidates Matches.
The Candidates Matches in
the current cycle will be held
in 1977. The nest scheduled -
world championship match
will be held in 1978.
Browne won. the 13 -round
U.S. championship with .four
wins, nine draws and no
losses. Ms score was eight
and one-haff. In tournament
scoring, wins count one point,
draws are one-half point, and
losses are zero.
Rogoff had the same num-
ber of wins as Browne, but his
one loss to William Lombardy
put him one-half point behind
One other player went un-
defeated in the tournament.
Arthur Bisguier had 13 draws
for a score of six and one-half.
Pal. Benko finished last
with 10 draws and three
losses. Ws score of 5 was only
three and one-halfpoints be -
bind Browne.
The point -spread gives evi-
dence of a large number of
draws in the US. champion-
ship. The top six players
played 15 games among
themselves. There were two
wins and 13 draws recorded.
The increasing tendency
toward draws in tournament
and match play is a matter of
increasing concern among
players and tournament di-
rectors. In- aneffort to re-
verse the trend, former world
champion Robert Fischer
was successful in encourag-
ing FIDE to establish a 10-'
win match for the world
championship, with no limit
to the number of games
played until one player
achieved the necessary 10
wins. -
A player in England,
.chael Batitan, in a letter
to the editor of the Guardian
Weekly has suggested a solu-
tion that has .merit. Basman
believes the present scoring
system of onepoint for a win
and one-half point for a draw
has overvalued the draw. He
suggests scoring three points
for a win and one point for a
draw.
What do you think? We'd be
interested in hearing from
the readers of this column on
this important issue.
Game of the Week:
Ken Rogoff was awarded
the FIDE international mas-
ter title in 1974. Now, at 22, he
has won a place in interzonal
competition for the World
Championship title. He
played this game against
John Peters in the U.S. cham-
pionship.

CAVES, some as large as houses, are located along the 430 -
'mile Bruce Trail, a man-made footpath linking Niagara
with Tobermory. This one is, part of Greig's Caves at
Barrow Bay- on the Bruce Peninsula. ,-
All trails lead to
By Mary Jane Charters
The 430 -mile Bruce Trail is a
microcosm of Ontario.
It passes through the lush fruit -
growing belt of Niagara, rolling
farmlands, silent woods and
flowered meadows; past modern
industrial cities and towns; and
ends up following the rugged,
rocky shoreline of the Bruce
Peninsula where it is washed by
Georgian Bay.
The trail is a footpath, about
690 kilometres along the Niagara
Escarpment, a great ridge of
limestone rock formed 450 mil-
lion years ago. It starts beside Sir
Istaac Brock's monument, at
Queenston on the Niagara River,
and ends at Tobermory at the tip
of the Bruce Peninsula.
An estimated 100,000 persons
go for a walk on the trail (or con-
necting footpaths) in a year and
more than 7,000 are members of
11 Bruce Trail Clubs across the
province.
Long-range plans in Ontario
call for a network of trails around
the Great Lakes which Henry
Graupner, spokesman for the
Federation of Ontario Hiking
Trail Associations calls, "more
than a dream".
The federation, formed in 1974,
represents 10 trail associations in
the province - -the Bruce,
Thames Valley (London to St.
Marys), Grand Valley (Elora to
Brantferd), Voyageur (Sault Ste.
Marie to Espanola ), Quinte-Hast-
ings (north from Belleville),
,Rideau (Kingston to Ottawa);
plus four trails that now hook into

the Bruce Trail.
Two other trail associations are
in the embryonic stage at Thun-
der Bay and Stratford. All are
being built and extended by
volunteers.
Also in the future is a link -up
with the Finger Lakes Trail in
New York State which hooks into
the Long Trail of Vermont, and
Appalachian Trail. When com-
pleted hikers will be able to walk
a "2,000 -mile footpath from Geor-
gian Bay to Georgia."
It all started with the Bruce.
A walking trail from Niagara to
Tobermory was first proposed in
.1959 to the Hamilton Naturalists'
Club by Ray Lowes, an open-
hearth metallurgist at Stelco (the
Steel Co. of Canada). A trail asso-
ciation was formed a year later
and in 1963, recruitment of mem-
bers begaii.
The trail was completed in 1967
to mark Canada's 100th birthday.
Since then club members have
continued to maintain and im-
prove it and Stelco transferred
Mr. Lowes to the company's pub-
lic relations department so he
could work full-time for the asso-
ciation.
White 'blazes on fence posts,
trees, stiles and rocks mark the
trail beginning at Queenston's
monument to Sir Isaac Brock, the
general who died a hero's death
in the War of 1812. Nearby is a
memorial to Laura Secord (best
known today for her candy arid
ice cream)., -It was Laura Secord
who led a cow away from her
house and set out on a desperate
20 -mile hike to warn Lt. James
FitzGibbon that the Americans
were planning an attack.
As a result FitzGibbon wen the
Battle of Beaver Dams in 1812.
Heading north, the trail follows
ancient shores of post -glacial
Lake Iroquois around the western
end of Lake Ontario.
It skirts exurbia -the city
sprawl of Toronto and the Golden'
Horseshoe; then winds its way
through typical Ontario farmland
to the Blue Mountains, an area of
high bluffs and wide valleys full
of small wildlife, rare flowers
and ferns. Between Noisy and
Pretty Rivers. the escarpment
reaches its highest elevation at
1,775 feet above sea level.
Before the trail heads up the
east shore cliffs of the Bruce
Peninsula along Georgian Bay, it
follows the Beaver River Valley,
a slash in the escarpment that
reaches six miles in width at its
mouth on the Nottawasaga Bay.
From Owen Sound the trail
hugs the shoreline along the blue-
green waters of Georgian Bay,
covering 135 miles of grey rock
bluffs and green valleys with rare
ferns such as heart's tongue and
walking fern.
At Malcolm Bluff, 300 feet
above Colpoy Bay, look down.
The water is 40 fathoms deep.
A series of campsites or three -
sided shelters along the trail
make it possible for backpackers
to cover the entire distance.
Campsites range from provin-
cial parks and city campgrounds
to permission from a farmer to
pitch a tent on his field. Other
sites are available from private
commercial ventures and tourist
lodges. One is located at Cape
Crocker Indian Reservation ruin

At Tobermory, trail's end,
hikers can take a water -taxi from
Little Tub Harbor to 'Flowerpot
Island, a continuation of the es-
carpment. The island, . shaped
like a flowerpot, -is a national
park with more hiking trails read-
ing to caves in the limestone
cliffs.
Four other trails are connected
to the Bruce Trail. They include
the Ganaraska (from Port Hope
to Glen Huron); Credit Valley
Footpath (Norval to George-
town ) ; Guelph Radial Line
(Limehouse to Guelph); and
Speed River Trail, which follows
the Speed River.
Eventually the Voyageur Trail
from Espanola to Sault Ste.
Marie will be accessible from the
northern end of the Bruce Trail.
Hikers will be able to take a ferry
from Tobermory to Manitoulin
Island, hike across the island and
over the bridge on the north shore
to Espanola.
Essential 'to exploring the
Bruce is The BrUce Trail Guide
Book, availabld for $6. to
non-members from the Bruce
Trail 'Association, 33 Hardale

WOOS of, deciduous trees .
red, yellow and gOid,conditions
are ideal. During winter, snow%
shoeing and cross-cotintry skiing
can be done on sections without
stiles. Summer hikers are ad-
vised to carry plenty of chinking
water and protect their legs from
thistles and other scratchy
plants.
Spring hiking requires water-
proof boots; in May artd June
bring lots of insect repellent for
blackflies and mosquitoes.
Hiking at the north end of the
trail demands good, sturdy boots
that cover ankles. Because rattle-
snakes are found in this area, it's
also wise to carry a snakebite kit.
Most of the Bruce Trail (like all
trails in the province) is On pri-
vate land with access allowed by
the landowners. Travel on the
trail is brzfoot only. Use of
motorized equipment and horse-
back riding are prohibited.
