Tumblers: Armando De Mingo, Stuart Duncan, Dan Elkins, Bill Gracey, Bud Hansen, Teddy Merrill, Henry Schaub, Lester Scully, Werlie Gleason, Pat Stripp, Donald Vance, Bob White. The Chess Club Your move, check! How often these words are spoken as the Chess Club gets together. Every week the chessmen come out of their boxes, and the members endeavor to learn the fine points of this brains-taking game. The competition is keen, but oh, what fun it is to be coached by Mr. Harrison when he is a kibitzer. One of the real values of chess is the practice in concentration it gives to the player. Chess players may well be called the power behind the throne for they have the will that moves kings and queens.
