FOR Harvard by score OF 3 TO l. COM
prising two victories outright AT the two
bottom boards and a couple OF drawn
games registered by the Crimson repre-
sentatives at the first and second tables
of the match. This was quite in line
with expectations. inasmuch as Harvard,
to begin with. is the champion college Of
the league. with Columbia close second,
and in addition. again won the annual
team match on ten boards from Yale dur

The cambridge players. therefore. were
the favorites, and did not dissppoiut their
friends old Els sons were unable to
win outright a single game. although the
two draws count one point to their credit.

was a CarO-Kann opener and ran 10 forty
