THE ARGUS Page 10 Fremont Newark, California Tuesday, January 28, 1969 PREP PULSE Battle Of Minds In Chess League SCOTT CMVfS COMPETITION IS JUST as keen as in any of the other sporls which the six Mission Valley Athletic League schools com pete in, but one could look forever without finding a pretty cheerleader screaming at the top of her lungs, a pep band blar ing away with a fight song, or fans standing and screaming for the all-important game-winning play. The sport, or competition as some might rather call it, is chess, and anyone who has ever seen the game being knows that it's done in near-total silence, like in the confines of a library as is usually the battlefield for the five MVAL schools which compete in the Bay Area Chess League. "We usually compete in the library or one of the study rooms," reports John F. Kennedy High advisor. Bill Raflowski "The season starts in September and goes all the way through until March.

We usually get to practice one night each week and have one match in the same time period. Compete In Division Five "Our league is division five," Raflowski continues. "We play against teams from Irvington, Mission San Jose, Washington and Newark." Raflowski, informs that the advisors for the other schools in the division are Philip Eidman of Mission, Allen D. McCleskey of Washington, Ruel Jensen of Newark and Dewitt Glasgow of Irvington. "I really feel that it's becoming a big thing in the Bay Area," Raflowski says optimiitically.

"There are eigh divisions and a total of 38 teams and interest is growing all of the time. "A match against another school consists of seven players from each team meeting on seven different boards with a minimum of four victories reeded to win the match. "The competitors are supposed to move a minimum of 35 moves per hour and the game is usually pretty well determined after that amount of time. "Some schools," Rafiowski informs, "have check clocks. But, they cost money, and we're not supported by the administration financially, so we don't have one." While competing in regular round-robin play, the season is spiced with special division competition which pits teams from two different division pairing off against each other.

To Meet Division Three The next such competition will have the five squads from division five battling the members of division three on February 6. Included in the opposing division are teams from Bushser, Los Gatos, Santa Clara and Saratoga high schools. The dual meet season draws to an official close in March when the top two teams in each one of the divisions go to Oakland for an all day meet to determine the top teams and individuals in the entire Bay Area. At (he day's end, trophies are awarded to those individuals who fair the best as well as to ttie top teams. Ratings of individuals are also made.

"Kach team takes its top seven players," Raflowski informs "and puts them against the top seven individuals of the opposing team. The boards are numbered from one to seven and the members of the home team are alternated so that it has the white men on every other board. The white player has the first Raflowski informs, "and that's supposed to be an advantage. Players Rating System "The players are rated by a system called the BAIRS system (Bay Area Instanteneous Reading System) when they compete By SCOTT GRAVES Sole possession of lirst place 11 Ihe MissionVallcy Athletic a varsity basketball landings is on the line today as Mission San High's unbeal- en Warriors play IMS! to Wash- nglon's unbeaten Huskies to MVAL Cage Leaders Mix highlight a 'lirec-gamo varsity i In a game staled for 7:30 siate. .111, Newark's two-time de- Tiie Warriors and Huskies.

"You're playing the best you can put up against the best they can put up and the team that scores victories on four boards wins the match, "It's a very good game, a very good sport," Raflowski says.

"It's the one sport, I think, where intellectually you have one player playing against Hie other with almost identical materials. "It's one of the few sports or games where you have a rea battle of the minds. The one who has the deepest insight and the one who has learned his lessons well will be the one who wins."

Farrington Widens Lead InBM. Driver Standings peeled for what has to rale as most important MVAL game to date which means Ihe Huskies will be starting Bucky Snyder (6-3) and Dan Oden (6-3) at the forward slots, 6-4 Ben Beyers at center, and 5-7 Len Fudenna along with 5-9 Dave Haubert at the guards. Anderson is expected to counter with his most successful lineup to date which includes the Hughes twins Mike (6-2) and Dennis (6-1) at the forward slots, Roy Stevens (6-3) at center and 5-10 Ric Russell and 5-9 Shannon McMahon at the guard slots. Both teams will enter the game with identical 63.2 point averages offensively while the Huskies will begin play with a defensive average of 60.2 tallies and the Warriors with one less point at 59.2. Mike and Dennis Hughes have been the main offensive threats for the Warriors with 16.5 and 15.4 point averages thru action thus far, but center Roy Stevens has come a long way in the last few games and is averaging 11.4 points besides playing the lead role in the Warrior rebound cause.

Guard Dave Haubert and Snyder have been the main threats offensively for the Huskies with 20.4 and 17.5 marks respectively, but have been getting able assistance of late from Dan Oden who has been scoring at a 0.7 clip. Hoping to stay alive in the chase for the title will be the Titans and Knights when they take the hardcourt tonight i i identical 1-1 records. Although it's still early in Ihe season, neither team can afford another loss, so the game will be as important as any they'll play all year. First-year Newark coach Guin Hoggs will use the same lineup that rolled up 93 points against Irviiiglon last week. That in; Wayne Milter, th eague's third leading scorer al his point and Bob Hoffman al the forward slots, Ted Pamplir al the post, and Terry Couch and Curt Baker at the guard slots.
