Human Pawns: Regina boys and girls were the pawns in an interesting “game of war,” as chess is often called, at the city hall auditorium on Tuesday evening, when a chess contest and dance was held under the auspices of the Regina Chess club to help work of the Hostess club. Top photo, taken from a balcony, shows the human chess men on the big board. Lower are the contestants, Frank Yerhoff, Regina, and Flying Officer Schuyler Broughton, New York, now attached to No. 3 Air Observers' school in Regina. Their game was a draw. Yerhoff is Saskatchewan champion, fourth ranking chess player in Canada.
An able player, Flying Officer Broughton directed the first broadcast of a chess game over WNYC, New York, and he was captain of the Westside New York Y.M.C.A. chess team. He said he found the interest in chess in Regina most extraordinary and he believed Regina would rank third or fourth among Canadian cities.
