STATE COLLEGE, PA., SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 5, 1949 State Auto Rooked ! Oldster Loses Close Match Youth vs. Experience! This was the keynote of an aggressive chess match between a 93,-year old veteran chess player and a college student Wednesday after noon in the TUB. This battle of kings, rooks, and pawns was one of, a series be tween 93-year-old U. B. Marr and some of the best players of the Penn State Chess Club. Mr. Marr, father-in-law of Dr. Clar ence O. Williams, college ’ ex aminer, played. Richard Cress man, a student and president of Penn State Chess Club. Fades In Homestretch Cressman' emerged victorious after a well-played game, ■ in which Mr. Marr displayed strokes of brilliant strategy and vast ex perience. But, after getting out of several fight « spots, the old strategist, a former checker champion in Missouri, proved not quite strong enough to meet the pressing, game of Cressman. 'The moves, of the match,'al though definite and forward in nature, were so carefully plann ed and thought-out that spec tators began wondering if the two contestants were . still play irig or merely taking a rest iri be tween sharp- strokes of chess board savvy. ■ Recently Mr. - Marr, .on a'.visit from; his home ih Missouri, came to the TUB in search of some chess players to oppose him in a few matches. The old gentle man presented a challenge to the Penn State Chess Club, which was promptly accepted. He' play-, ed several matches during the! week with some of the' best play ers in the club. 1 Those from the Chess-Club who have already met the eagy nonagenarian ‘readily admit that he is a very good player. One of them even said he would'refuse to meet the exceptional Mr. Marr in another match.

Republican candidate, is against the expen sive method used in collecting the wage tax, wants better streets, a youth center, more courtesy to visitors, and help in attracting niajof conventions. The Democratic candidate, Mr. Kaulfuss,.stands for great team work .between council and the burgess to eliminate feuding and make for better government and wants more ■ erriergency police men.
