THE BATTLE CREEK ENQUIRER AND NEWS Sec. Four Sunday, October 26, 1958 It's Big News When Child Is BorntoQuint Cecile (Dionne) Langlois Is First Quintuplet in World To Bear a Child; Sister Annette Expecting Football Gambling Racket Broken Up on U-M Campus ANN ARBOR on Police announced yesterday the breakup of a football gambling racket on the University of Michigan campus which took in upward of $10,000 weekly from students. Three students are to be charged formally Monday with conspiracy to violate state gambling laws, police said. An investigation reportedly has been going on for four weeks. Campus outsiders were said to be involved.

Police, however, declined comment on this. By coincidence, the police disclosure came on the day of Michigan's big homecoming day game with Minnesota at Ann Arbor. Detective Lt. George Stauch of the Ann Arbor city police said a "leak" had hampered the investigation. He said otherwise more persons would face charges.

Participating in the inquiry were city police, state police and Washtenaw County sheriff's men. University officials declined comment. Police said the gambling involved the socalled football "spot cards." The "spot" is the number of points by which a team is favored for a game. The Cards usually list about 30 of the nation's top college games. The bettor gives or takes a certain "point spread." Usually he must have at least four correct choices on which he collects at odds of about 9 to 1.

Reporters trooped in droves to the mountains north of Montreal. Reporters trooped in droves to the Roman Catholic retreat at Ste. Agathe, and some newspapers said the death occurred under "mysterious circumstances."

Bobby Fischer doesn't want to be a baseball star or a football player or the most popular fellow at the prom. He wants to be chess champion of the world. Most Americans don't know It, but their honor in a big international contest with Russia is riding on the thin shoulders of this 15-year-old boy from Brooklyn.

Bobby is hailed by the experts as the greatest chess mind the world has produced in many years. "He doesn't look like one he looks more like a farmer boy than an intellectual but he is a genius," says Hans Knoch, secretary of the Manhattan Chess Club which is the nerve center of chess in the United States. trainees are finding out there's still money in the business of shoeing horses. i ux- The demand for trained black smiths is such that Michigan State University started offer ing two courses in horseshoeing this fall instead of one, as in previous years.

He has become an international grand master the youngest in the long history of the game and will meet the world's top seven players this year in a challengers' tournament. The winner will get a crack at the present world champion, Russia's Mikhail Botvinnik.

champion was Paul Morphy, who turned the trict at 21 a century ago. Bobby won't say what he thinks of his chances. Nobody else he will make it this time.
