Colgate Chessmen Bow
To Strong State Squad
The State college chess team
defeated a highly touted Colgate university squad last Saturday evening by the decisive
score of 6% to 2%. The match
was played at the SLS fraternity
house.
Playing nine boards, State won
six, lost two, and tied one. John
Hoose, captain, and playing

gam s. it iok Hoose 51 rounds
to brine a 'it the defeat of
Colgate's LC« larlem Marsh, in
a very hot. contested game.
Fox, however, played the shortest board of the entire engagement as he set up a brilliant
mating combination to overcome
Edward Menasian on the 21st
move.
Steven Shaw, '40, who is
manager of the State team, was
forced to content himself with a
draw, thus sharing the point
with James Cleveland.
Dr. King, member of the Colgate faculty and vice-president
of the New York State Chess association, accompanied the visiting squad.
A return match with Colgate
has been tentatively set for
March. Rutgers has been scheduled for two encounters in the
spring, and engagements are being sought with R.P.I., West
Point Military academy, and
Oneonta.
As yet this chess squad is being conducted on a self-supporting basis, but leaders of the team
are attempting to secure M.A.A.
recognition.

Ades Supervises Class
The dancing class is still meeting
every Friday afternoon in the Lounge
of Richardson hall at 3:30 o'clock.
Chris Ades, who is supervising the direction of the embryo terpischoreans, has announced that after
examinations the opportunities for
would be dancers will be increased.
Contrary to the usual State tradition which calls for a lack of men,
dancing classes have exhibited an
alarming paucity of State's feminine dancers. A great many men
are turning out each Friday and
they could have a better time if
more girls were on hand to supervise the dancing. Refreshments are
served so come and get something
to eat.

Rand Is First Senior
To Sell Short Story
Gordon Rand, '39, managing
editor of both the Lion and the
Echo, has become the senior
class's first successful author
by virtue of the sale of a
vignette to the American Magazine.
Tough Guy, w h i c h
was
printed in the spring issue of
the Echo last year is the first
short story that Rand has attempted to sell to a national
magazine. It is the tale of the
fountain attendant that meets
up with the supposedly big
bandit and finds—-oh well buy
a copy of American and find
out. Rand was a member of
Mr. William Hardy's English
10 class and Dr. Thompson's
Creative Writing course.
His success has helped to
make many of the literary
seniors conscious of the magazine field as a recipient for their
stories.
And so, GTR give me your
penny.

debate will count two and onehalf points in rivalry and will be

sophomores will uphold the negative
of this proposition while the freshmen are to present the case for the
