HEADS CHESS REALM
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, November 3d.
Alexander Alekhine, 35.year-old Rus
sian.born French citizen. who first
gained prominence as a chess expert
in 1909, today had realized his life's
ambition by winning the world chess
championship.
Realizing the hopelessness OF his
position after 81 moves, in the thirty.
fourth game, Jose r. Capablanca,
champion since 1921. resigned the title
without resuming play in a game adj
journed from Monday night.
In a letter to the new champion,
Capablanca, who had retired to an
alyze his position after the adjourn
ment before reaching decision, re-
signed the game, giving Alekhine the
six victories necessary to gain the
title. The final score was Alekhine,
6; Capablanca, 8, and Is drawn games.
Alekhine upon receiving Capa'
blanca's resignation and congratula-
tions said that he hoped the first
challenger would be the dethroned
Cuban master. He said he was ready
to defend his title against all comers,
but not before 1929.
Capablanca said that the best man
had won and that Alekhine merited
the victory, which carried purse of
$4,000 with it.
Alexander Alekhine is a doctor Of
laws and former Russian nobleman.
In 1909 he won the national tourna-
ment at St. Petersburg. In the inter-
national arena. he gained the rank
of master player by placing first at
Stockholm in 1912.
He defeated Akiba K. Rubinstein,
Polish champion. in 1923 for the right
to meet Capablanca, who had won the
title from DR.. Emanuel Lasker in
Havana, two years previously.
Alekhine is now citizen of France,
having gone there from Russia after
the war for political reasons.

CHESTER, w. Va, November 30.---
Hard upon the heels Of a disastrous
foot ball season at West Virginia Uni
versity. Head Coach Ira Z. Rodgers
has indicated he may quit the Motif1-
taineers at the close Of the 1928 sea-
son.
Speaking at a foot ball banquet
here, Rodgers said next year might
be his last as mentor of the Noun
taineers. He did not, however, am
plify that statement.
Rodgers was the target of some crit
icism this year. various individuaIs
blaming his coaching methods for the
series of defeats the Mountaineers
suffered. There were rumors that he
would not be resigned, but Harry "A.
Stansbury. university athletic direc-
tor, rose to Rodgers defense and said
that so far as he himself was con-
cerned Rodgers would again be asked
to take charge of the squad next year.

Added interest in the game is prom
ised if Grigsby assumes the center po-
sition for the All-Star Eastern team, as
it will bring him against Larry Betten-

the Georgetown player, is regarded as
of All-America caliber.
With Grigsby on the All-East team
will be Jack Connor, quarterback and
captain of the New York University
eleven. He has accepted an invitation
to play.
Coach Little. in naming his ALI
