Chess Club Plans.

The Chess Club is now holding a tournament to select teams for the various outside matches of the pear. The four best men in the final round will be chosen to represent Harvard in the intercollegiate chess tournament with Yale, Princeton and Columbia, which will take place during the Christmas recess; and the ten best men of the semifinal round will represent the University in a match game with Yale, the night before the Harvard Yale football game.

The club has decided this year to enter a league composed of the following chess clubs: Boston Press, Young Men's Union, Dorchester, and Boston Athletic Association. Beginning early in November this league will hold fortnightly matches, at which the various clubs will each enter teams of ten men arrranged in order of strength. At every match these teams will be paired off against each other and the team scoring the greates number of victories during the winter will win the championship.
