CHESS REVERTS TO DARK AGES: When a power cable was severed back of the Michigan Union yesterday during construction work it didn't daunt faculty members at the University Club in the Union. Prof. Arthur E. Wood of the sociology department and Prof. Ben Dushnik of the mathematics department played chess by candlelight as it probably was done many years ago. Later an extension cord was rigged up to bring some light from the main wing of the Union.

Chess Tourney Ends Today: Concentration was evident yesterday as Keith Conrey (left) tried to entrap opponent Hubert H. Wyeth in the second Mark's Coffeehouse Open Chess Tournament. Watching the action at the first Congregational Church is Burton Grossmon. The tournament began Friday with 82 participants, final rounds were scheduled today. Included in the action was a computer chess program, called TECH, which found human competition a little too smart to handle. TECH lost its first round match, but the loss was attributed to lack of time. "It played a little too slowly," one person said.
