Not Football Play

The ignorance of the public certainly

who writes in to ask about the T
formation. His own T formation,
he says, consists of a small table,
set in the middle of the room, and a
nearby buffet off which his guests
can grab the more substantial vic
tuals, such as crullers and Lieder-
kranz
Obviously this fellow is badly con-
fused. He is thinking of Vincent
Youmans' famous T-for-two varia-
ton, where the tailback plays deep
and the blocking back plays the
melody, up in the treble The same
thing is true of housewife" who
writes in to complain about the

There is nothing new about that
formation she says. Il have been

matters of conjecture. At present
several travelling masters are boost
ing the unity and announcing that
year book will be sent to all men,
bers. It is assumed that either the
annual American Chess Federation
tournament will be discontinued or
sandwiched in with the biennial
national tournament for the United
States title.
1t Is to be noted that the amalga-
nation is tentative: that after one
year it may be annulled or definitely
affirmed.
New F. I. d. E. Setting.
F. I. D. E. stands for Federation
1nternationale des Echecs, alias In
ternational Chess Federation, estab-
lished over decade ago with world
Offices at The Hague. Its most
notable achievement in the opinion
OF this column is its correlation Of
chess rules and their standardiza-
ton in 1929, the British Chess Fed
GRAFTON translating from the official
French text to give an accepted
official English version in 1881.
But other columns may stress the
biennial team tournaments as the
most notable achievement and point
to the great display of world Coop
Grafton of divers nations at Prague,
Folkestone, Moscow and Buenos
Aires.
1t is said that The Hague no long
er is the F. l. D. E. headquarters,
that ofnces have been transferred to
Buenos Aires. battle-ground of last
summers international team tour
nament that was won by Germany,
with Poland runner-up.
Also, it is rumored that the world
title no longer rests solely within the
jurisdiction of its holder, DR.. Alex
ander Alekhin of Paris. 1t appears
that at last the F. I. D. E. has OBJ
tanned control of the match cham
plonship and will lay down the chal-
lenge rules in the future. Such a
step is progressive and may mean
the development of a series of pre-
liminary master encounters, testing
the skill of every would-be aspirant
for the world title and the final
elimination of all except one grosz-
meister, who will be privileged to
meet Alekhin in individual combat.
Foremost in the waiting list for a
crack at the coveted crown is Paul
Keres, Estonian youth who was the
victor at AVRO, the Amsterdam
tourney that included the eight
greatest of living active grandmas-
ters. Salo Flohr of Czecho- o-Slovakia
is on the waiting list; in fact, he has
been the oficial No. / challenger.
But since Buenos Aires is the
new" home of the F. I. D. E.. the
old Alekhin- n-Capablanca schism
crops up. South Americans are will
ing to pay good South American
gold to see the feuding groszmeisters
tossed again into the same arena.
In 1921 Cuban Capablanca defeated
DR.. Emanuel Lasker to become
world champion. In 1927 the
Franco-Russian Alekhin toppled
Capablanca from his throne. In
1895 Max Euwe Of Amsterdam out
figured Alekhin only to allow the
latter to regain the crown in 1887.
Now the Argentineans are anxious
to see a return match between
"Capa" and "Aljechin"
Alekhin says he is ready to meet
the Cuban If his terms are met.
Argentina Chess Federation says
they will be. So the world waits for
the feuding glamour boys to set
the date.

Cliff hasn't made up his mind yet,
but he is going to make the circuit
and on his return may not come

given good putting streak, could
go long way in the tough busi-
