America in the international interuni-
VerSity cable. chess match. This con-
test probably will be held April % and %,
between Oxford and Cambridge on one
side and Yale. Harvard, Princeton and

team has been made up by selecting the
best man in each of the four colleges
colleges which finished first and second
respectively in the intercollegiate tourna- :
ment. This scheme was to have been
pursued this year as we'll but Harvard
made an objection.
The crimson chess masters contend that
as their team won the championship,
three or even all four of their men might
well be better than the best players from
the other colleges. Their contention is
that in such a case it would be to the
best interests of the Americans to select
a team on the basis of actual superiority
and not according to an arbitrary rule.
However, the only men on the Harvard
team who made clean scores last year
We're those who played on the third and
fourth boards. On the basis of actual
superiority these point winners for the
Cambridge college would be surpassed II

board men of the other colleges
The matter has come to a deadlock on
these terms. The chances are that the
old scheme will prevail, but in the mean
