H. Y. P." Chess League, but was forced to third place in the final standing when Princeton obtained the better match record. Columbia retained the title by defeating Yale 3 1-2 to 1-2 and Princeton 4 to 0 in games, after tieing the University.
On the first day of play, Tuesday, December 28, the University tied the supposedly much stronger Columbia aggregation 2 to 2 in games.
