MMWMQQMQWMM By WILLIAM ALAN GRAY @i’tNfl fliAEitTHEIK The first two weeks of basketball have now been completed and everybody has lept into the race with all the fervor and ex- citement that one has come to expect from LM. basketball. Cowles, after splitting with Gates. lost two games to Rawson. Rawson, now tied with Smith for first place in the Treusdale race, is burst- ing with enthusiasm. They met wth a large setback, however. when the LM. board refused to sanction Dance I. M.’s as a legitimate North Campus sport. Langan suffered an even greater loss when Dave Luthy was lost for the season while performing for the Golden Horde against the ti-eshman team. Langan promptly went out and dropped two to Dibble. East pulled the big upset or the year, so far, when they beat the Smith “A” team. The Gates ”A" team (which was stacked) gave up only nine points to North in the first half and was still behind. This pretty much typifies the year Gates is going to have (Wait ’til paddle tennis). Nothing has been decided, though, so I'm sure my progress reports will be awaited with eager anticipation (yawnrgaper Rich Wickstrom has dominated the college bowling league for the last two weeks by averaging 200 for the last six games. Tho team captained by yours truly (subtle plug) has leaped into first place, however, with a N mark. High point of last week's keg- ling was Mary Kay Earl trying to get a quarter out of a pocket in her stretch pants. The old bowling league just ain‘t what it used to be (chucklechuckle). SCARLET AND BLACK Saturday. February lo, I?“ SCHAFFER'S ICEMEN COMETH By JEFF SCHECKTER Goals by Graham, Crandall, and Jackson gave the Grinnell Blades a 3-1 victory over Des Moines at the Des Moines ice Arena Sunday. Grinnell dominated play in a game of excessive roughness. Des Moines was hindered by eight penalties, tripping, rough- ing, crosschecking, and board- ing, which meant that they had to play short a man tor a total oi 16 minutes. Although a few Blades were intimidated to fight by an elbow in the mouth and by a stick across the back of the head, it o t h i n g developed, enabling Grinnell to avoid penalties, and to play the entire game at full strength. Grinnell’s first line of Gra- ham, .l ackson, and Millikin scored in the first 44 seconds of the contest. Grinnell con- trolled the face-off, shooting the puck into the offensive zone. Jackson dug the puck out of the right corner and fed a well- placed pass to Graham sta< tioned in front of the Des Moines net. Graham then beat the goalie on a quick eight foot shot to give Grinnell a lo lead. The second line of Crandall, Schaffer and Allen upped the score 270 two minutes later. Detenseman Joe La Moths passed to his partner on the blue line. Steve Gausebeck, who fired a 60 foot shot. Crandall, positioned in front of the net, t o o k Gausebeck's s h u t and slipped the puck past the Des Moines goalie iot‘ the 2—D ad- vantage. The iirst period ended 2-1 af- ter Des Moines scored from a distance of 25 feet on a screened shot. Half way into the second period, Grinnell earned its third goal. Bruce Graham fished the puck out lrorn behind the Des Moines net and passed to Tom Jackson, standing just outside the crease. Jackson forced the puck off the Des Moines goal< ie's skate into the net. A combination of good defense, backchecking. and goal tending shut out Des Moines during the second and third periods.

CJEQCJEDCJE‘D By J. VON ERIESEN RAZ The chess master combines a unique set of talents, personality traits, and abstract abilities, which he fashions into a highly dif- ferentiated system of thinking and playing methods. initially, he is dealing in a subject matter composed of schee matic spatial (two- dimensional) possibilities for movement. To the chess board he brings two capacities which are relatively discriminating: a high nun-verbal intelligence and a powerful memory capacity. The high nonverbal intelligence is furthermore manifested in two forms: a spatial memory and a constructive spatial imagination. The distinction made here is that the complex abstract images with which the player works can hardly be con- sidered either tactile or visual. By analogy, the chess master is to visual images as the speed reader is to pronouncing each word. The powerful memory capacity can probably be better under- stood when it is seen that it enables the master to learn progres< sively by experience, to refine his operating rules constantly by means of the mental operations of abstraction and generalization It a high rate. The above generalizations are commonly understood by those who have had relatively little or no experience with the game. There is, however, another facility possessed by the chess master which is often overlooked and warrants our attention. The pendant oi generating hypotheses is testing them. For ex. ample, over the board the choice of a good move rests largely on foreseen possibilties for action and on the evaluation of foreseen results. The thought process is essentially an emperical investiga- tion — there is no a priori or deductive way to establish with cer< tainty how much can be attained or how much can be proved (at this point the problem of chess is strikingly different from that of a mathematics problem). It is an investigation which terminates in a decision necessarily based upon incomplete evidence, and neces- sarily directed towards quantative results.
