The Wingham Advance-Times, 1975-05-08, Page 188„ 1975— i=t s t CHESS P6TS Game thrives in college life. Etw R.Oss eft `AA. History 04 Chess," H.J.R. Murray tells us that chess was played to a limited extent at some universities in Europe during the Middle Ages. It was held in suspect, However, by many university heads for fear that if it were allowed to flourish, it might detract from their students' scholarly pursuits. Those early suspicions were slowly transformed into scholarly acceptance. As the centuries passed, chess even- tually became a substantive part of college life throughout Europe and the Americas. Annual matches between Ox- ford and CaMbridge began In 1873, Eleven cable matches were held from 1899 to 1924 between Oxford . and Cam- bridge on one side and a group of American universi- ties on the other. Colleges on both sides of the Atlantic had strong players. The cable series ended with, four wins for each side and three draws. In one of the drawn matches in 1907, J. R. Capablanca, then a student at Columbia University, led the - American team., Intercollegiate matches on a national scale have been popular in the United States .since the beginning of the 20th Century. It wasn't until 1945, however, that intercollegiate events were endorsed by the U.S. Chess Federation (USCF) as national cham- pionships. The first official Individual Championship was held in that year, and the first offi- cial Team Championship was held the next year. These two Championships were then held on_ alternate years through 1965, and as a com- bined tournament from 1966 to the present. International Grandmaster Robert Byrne won th�g Indi- .vidual.Championship m 1947 while a student at Yale Uni- versity:.. International Master 1 ',E:dniar Mednis was a student at-New-ifork4Jniversity�when CROSSWORD + he won the title in 195. International college com- petition received its official World Chess Federation (FIDE) sanction in 1954, and the World Student Team Championship, popularly known as the "Student -Olym- piad," has been played annu- ally since that date. The U.S.S.R. has dominated this international event. The United States has won only twice, but one of those wins was on the Russian's home ground, in Leningrad, 1960. The USCF has a Standing Committee on College Chess. Its Chairman is Roger Blaine, Who is also a Past President of the Intercol- legiate Chess League of America (ICLA) . The ICLA organization promotes re- gional, state and local inter- collegiate competitions, and annually sponsors the Pan- American Intercollegiate Chess Championship, formerly the U.S. Intercol- legiate Championship. Game of the Week: .The Uruversity of Chicago won the 1972 Pan-American Inter- collegiate.

JOHN JACKSON Certifled`Master Graphoanalyst Dear Dorothy: I am going on 74 and there probably isn't much left to be predicted through my hand- wrltlrlg,, ,byway,,, jC,_, like ;life,, ignore now than ,.ever.{before. Just thought you might have somun analyzing my writ= ing. • C.L. Dear C.L.: Whether you are 74 or 47, there are no,predictions. And, no graphoanalyst analyzes haindwriting for fun. Neither do graphoanalysts carry crystal balls, computer ma- chines, or have any tricks up their sleeves. We never sit in judgment of anyone's char- acter. Wesimply state facts in order to help a person un- fold some of the reasons why he does what he does in the way that he does it. Your handwriting says that your active mind keeps you geared to the facts, and you like to learn, seen in those big wedges in your m's and n's. The large loop on the letter h 'says that you are liberal in your acceptance of world changes. You analyze them for their positive and nega- tive results. Then, the large lower loops come into the act and you get a real kick out of comparing what IS happen- ing and what HAS happened. You love people, seen, again, in the large lower loops combined with other strokes, but your almost ver- tical writing gives you enough reserve to stand back and observe the wild antics of living — and wonder what it's all about. You see the shoving and the pushing and wonder where they think they're go- ing and what they'll do when they get there. With your sense of humor, seen in the beginning flourish of , the m, surely you must smile a little when you see the fumin' fuss. My advice? Just *keep on lik- ing life. You're just old enough to relax -- but young enough to live! D.J. U all- 'Pi Dear Dorothy: I will be 70 this fall. My hus- band says I have too nl ny in- terests for my own good. Ten - joy friends, Bible study, bowl- ing, traveling -but, my main interest is music -playing the organ, piano and violin. Please help me improve my- self. . D.S. Dear D. S.: Stay as young as you are always. It is evident that you have many interests, revealed in the long loops in y and g. You like to be physically active, seen in the lower loop in p ('not shown above), and you'd be lost without people, seen in your slant of writing. Your interests and activi y ' self-es- teem: at�ei tall t and d stems keep you striving to do your best at all times, and, from 'other people, you seise approval. Never lose your zest for living it will keep you "alive all your .life." Keep . your friends and ac- tivities but save plenty of time for your husband. These are the treasured years of your life, so reap the rewards to- gether. Circumstances may pre- vent you from going places and doing things together, but nothing should keep: you from togetherness. Togetherness always as you bowl, as you play the organ, and as you en- joy your friends! D.

He explained that this crest was put on top of the suit of armour so that en army could follow Its leader and recognize him. "When I bought this book on heraldry, I.intended to read it but then I realized that it was written in old English. NOw. I use it to translake many of the words and colors 11 run across. It has cer- tainly corms in handy,"' he said. When he has finished painting, , Mr. Morrow gives the paint the required 20 minutes 'to dry and then he outlines the designs in magic marker. He varnishes' his work. The varnish brings out the wood grainand makes the colors much richer. The finished plaque is ready to be hung on display. Mr. Morrow enjoys his hobby: It gives him a chance to delve into some history and use his artistic talents as welt. It offers a sense of challenge in finding the crest, translating /the instruc- tions, and gives him a great sense of accomplishment when his work is completed. 0-0-0 Just Beginning . George Woods of Mount Forest is just embarking on a hobby that has fascinated him for many years. Clocks have always intrigued him and last winter Mr. Woods completed a grandfather clock. The clock, which stands approximately nine feet in height, is made of cherry wood and is the first effort Mr. Woods made at constructing a clock. He get a kit in Waterloo and had the face of the 'clock imported from Germany. "I can see many places where I could make improvements;" he said.
