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.

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.
