CHECKERS - The checker tournament was held at Buxton on October 20th. Again the checker trophy was won by Buxton. This year it was difficult to choose our contestant as Harlan Pease the winner for the past two consecutive years and Donald Smith were equally matched in the preliminary games. Finally Donald was chosen and he showed himself worthy of his position as he defeated each of his opponents in every game. LAL Al,
