Avram and Schildkraut Lead Chess Players
Herbert Avram, George Washington High, won three games in the 10th, 11th and 12th rounds at the Manhattan Chess Club yesterday, and moved into the lead in the race for the individual championship of the Interborough High School Chess League. Second place was taken by Hyman Schildkraut, Monroe, who was successful in defeating the former leader, Edward Solomon, Madison, in the 11th round.
