  GrahamClayton: Oklahoma player who also competed in the 1958 US Collegiate Championship in Erie, PA:

"In his game with Yarmak, for example, Dale Ruth of Oklahoma was winning, but he was also trembling so violently he knocked the chessmen over when he tried to move them. He started to move his bishop, saw that he was lost if he did, tried to draw back, dropped the piece, buried his face in his hands and resigned. Then in the fifth round Ruth trapped Saidy's queen—certain victory in anybody's chess game. But Saidy merely smiled imperturbably, as if it were a part of his plan, while Ruth was so astonished at his triumph he lost a rook and two bishops in three moves, and Saidy made another spectacular comeback to win."
