No, he’s not the organizer of a band, but of a hockey club. The sound is of a shap shot re- sounding off the boards of Bar- ber Plaza Ice Arena. The sign on the side of the rink warns: “No games of ally kind", but Mike has Changed that. He has made arrangements for the hockey club to practice, bought equipment, scheduled , games, secured funds and is teaching people to play hockey. There are now twenty-two , members who practice two nights a week. They played three games last - semester and have played again this semester. s. Last year Mike and Steve Gausebeck got the idea of get- ring some interested students together a couple of times a week to play hockey. They se- cured permission irom Miss King to use the rink two nights a week from 10 to 12 pint, and Sunday morning. At that time there were about eight or ten people who played. The only problem they en- countered was that B&G men kept kicking them Off the rink, explaining they had not heard anything about hockey being permitted. This year about twice as many people have been playing. At an organizational meeting the group decided to join the US. Amateur Hockey Associa- tion as the Grinnell Blades. The meeting also elected Schsfier captain - coach. When Schaiier told President Leggett about the club's plans to play teams from other schools, Leggett was so enthusiastic he volunteered free use of the col- lege wagons and box lunches for team trips. Schafier then went to local merchants to secure money. Over $120 was collected. The WWW (biKAifl dim (WEEK By WILLIAM ALAN GRAY After seeing my column elevated to the status where one can‘t read the title, I feel somewhat inadequate (but not too much) in the face of the pressure placed upon me by having an old English lay—line, in any event. I will continue my policy of printing all the news that’s fit to print. Basketball commenced last Wednesday to the usual strains of the losers trudging off the court mumbling. “It's just a game,” and the winners triumphantly singing, “(Rawson West, South, etc.) uber alles.” In any event, good luck to all (in greater and lesser degrees, or course). The Grinnell Blades (what blatant megaiomania) returned in- tact but somewhat weary from their hockey excursion to North. field. It is even rumored that part of the fatigue was due to the hockey. keeping with the Grinnell tradition, all games were lost. Recently, NBC Sports did a special photographic show of Bernie Casey, L. A. Rams flanker, to demonstrate the poetry in motion found in professional football. The show was largely 3 Sue cess with the major problem being that Bernie Casey was a man. Therefore, in order to provide a view of the poetry in motion or the other gender, the w. it. A. has Ihoughtfuliy produced, for campus consumption, Women‘s Dance 1. M.’s. To say that this event is a must on your calendar is superfluous, I need only re< mind you that it is not every day that you are privileged to sea luscious lovelies frolicking around in abbreviated attire. The theme is, “Happiness is . r and among the suggested answers are a dry martini (or even a wet one) by Loose and a trip by Main. The trip is not further explicated but it is assumed it will be something exciting like a trip to Montezuma or maybe even Newton.

Chapman is a member of New Concepts Pub- lishing Company, but is not the publisher or printer. New Con- cepts continues to publish the yearbook, but with a second printer. SCARLET AND ELACK MIKE SCHAFFER money was for tournament fees, ice time costs, purchase of some equipment, and to pay for ex- tra cars for driving to games. Schaiier ordered equipment at a discount irom a sporting goods store he worked with in Mimic. apolis, and brought it back over midsemester break. Although the team has lost‘ several games and tied one, Coach Schaffer is confident that the team is at least as good as other hockey clubs in Iowa. He hopes to do well against other teams in the state at the tourna- ment to he played in February. Two of the stars on the team, instructor Terry (“Terror") Parsinnen and Tom (“Rocket") Jackson both played on the Grinnell hockey team in 1562. Hockey was a regular varsity ‘sport at that time. Other outstanding players are Mel Thompson, Joel (“Joque”) Lamont, Al (“Gutsy") Heirnann (who plays goalie), reii (“Boom Boom") Millikan, and Steve (“Khinook”) Gausebeck. Betsy Heron is mascot, locker room attendant, manager and score- keeper. Approximately hali oi the members of the club never played hockey before and half of those had never skated before. Mike would like to see even more people become interested, regardless oi their ability, and he plans to form two teams com- peting on their own ability lev- el. “My purpose is to show peoa pie a good time and teach them a new sport," says Mike.

By J. VON BRIESEN RAZ The American economy is, perhaps. the only economy in the World which has afforded Itself the luxury of flooding its chess market with “indescribably bad" chess literature. As is the case with Contract Bridge literature, publishers are content to saturate bookstores with garbage. satisfied with the knowledge that accord- ing to recent sales trends the public appetite is up, and justified by the Conviction that their actions are good for the GNP. In addi« tion to the twothirds of the world population that goes to sleep hungry every night may be added the chess playing public. It is a sad but olten true fact that the beginning chess player must attain a certain proliciency in the game before he is able to discriminate between the wealth of refuse unlit ior human Con- sumption and the few genuine works written ior the serious player by masters with legitimate credentials. In response to this prob lem, Zugzwang pliers the iollowing bibliography for the expert as well as the uninitiated. the beginner as well as the casual player. The best beginning books have been written by the intemation~ al grandmasters: Lasker’s Manuel of Chess, by Emanuel Lasker, The Game of Chess, by Raoul Capablanca. Abracadabra chess by Larry Evans (found in the “American Chess Quarterly") Concerning the diiierent phases of the game, Reuben Fine's Basic Chess Endings is the definitive work in endgame scholar- ships; Larry Evans' New Ideas in Chess, Aron Nlmzovich’s My System and Chess Praxls are among the best on the middlegame; Reuben Fine’s The Ideas Behind the Chess Openings and Proo- tloal Chess Openings rank under the compendium, Tenth Edition oi Modern Chess Openings, for the opening phase of the game. Insight into the brilliant chess‘mlnds or the past century may be gained by an investigation of Znosko—Borovsky’s The Art of Chess Combination. The best anthologies oi games include Aielthine's two volumes My Best Games of Chess, Botvinnik’s 100 Selected Games of Chess, Fisbher's Best Games of Chess, and depending upon the player’s taste several other grandmaster: made available in Dover Publi- cations. For the historically minded, Modern Ideas in Chess by Richard Reti and Imre Konig's Chess irom Morphy to Botvlnnlk: A Cen- tury of Chess Evolution deal with chess evolution irom a fairly technical point of view while Edward Lasker‘s The Adventure of Chess is interesting reading for the layman.
