The game depends all upoa the
setting.
That is the opinion Of Newell
Williams Banks, who for twelve
consecutive years has been the
American match champion at
checkers.
TAKE an average checker
board the kind that you buy in
most any novelty store-the kind
with red and black squares and
with the white and black pieces Of
cheap wood and Unmatched, anil
lay It on tablein an office whore
many people pass and nobody will
look at 1t. but get a regulation
board with fine pieces, perfectly
matched, and you will soon draw
a crowd" is his argument.
Banks Is positive that the many
wonderful stadiums that are being
built to accommodate the football
crowds will have a tendency 20
greatly improve the game.
"cap you imagine the impres-
sion these great stadlums viii
make on the freshmen students?3.
