N. T. Whitaker Takes Southern Chess Title
N. T. Whitaker, of Shady Side, Md., took top honors in the Southern Chess Association Tournament which closed here yesterday after a grueling four days of intense chess play.
After a shaky start by losing in the first round to Don H. Mugridge of Washington, D. C., Whitaker went on to win the next six games. He clinched first place by defeating Ken Smith in the last round.
Eliot Hearst, of New York, could have won with a victory in his last round game with Mugridge. However he had to be satisfied with draw to get runner-up honors.
Mugridge, who beat the leader and drew his game with Hearst, was third.
