very heady work succeeded I'm forcing the
game TO a draw at the end OF 10 moves
At the second table. Allen OF Brown
was matched against Sawin Of Yale. Al
len opened tho game with a Petrof de-
fence The Yale man. however, seemed
to show superior skill 10 Browns novice.
and at the end of 20 moves, Sawin was
declared the winner.
AZ table Nc 3. Easton OF Brown played
against Roberts of Yale. Easton opened
with the Ruy Lopez method of play. AT
the end OF 30 moves, neither player had
been able 10 check his opponent IL was
evident. however, that the advantage lay
all with the Brown man, and by mutual
agreement OF both captains, the game
went 60 the local college.
At the fourth table iill OF Brown was
paired against Adams OF Yale. Adams
opened play with the Scotch Gambit sys-
tenn. aud the game went 20 the limit OF
40 moves. ~ the end OF this time, neither
PLAYER seemed 10 have any advantage
over the other, but, curiously enough.
neither would consent TO draw. each
affirming that, were play continued, he
could win the game. Therefore this
match will have 10 be adJudicated by
some chess expert.
