International Chess Match Today

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The eighth inter-university cable chess match between Harvard, Princeton, Cornell and Pennsylvania on one side, and Oxford and Cambridge Universities on the other, will be played today from Houston Hall, Philadelphia. The American team will begin play this morning at 10, which, on account of the difference in time between this country and England, makes the English team begin play at 3 P. M. Each man will play one game, at the rate of 25 moves an hour, with a man representing the English team. The country winning the majority of games will win the challenge cup, which has been held by Oxford for the past three years. The match last year resulted in a draw, each side winning two games. The other two games were drawn.

Harvard will be represented by K. S. Johnson 1G., and the other universities as follows: Princeton, C. Williams; Columbia, T. J. Wolff and H. Blumberg; Cornell, R. T. Black; Pennsylvania, W. H. Hughes. E. R. Perry '06 coached the team.
