I find it hard to believe that it was the YI of Rugby, which was R. 
Avigdor Miller's shul.  R. Miller put on tefilin on Chol Moed, and, 
IIRC from the times that I davened in his shul after it relocated 
from East Flatbush and became the Bais Yisroel Torah Center, many 
others also did.  I certainly did.  YL
