C. T. Rice 1G., president of the Chess Club has sent a formal challenge proposing an international match to each of the presidents of the Oxford and Cambridge chess clubs. At the recent meeting of the representatives of Yale, Columbia, Princeton and Harvard at the Intercollegiate Chess Tournament Rice was appointed to make arrangements for the match. Owing to the absence of any official, previous to Rice's appointment, properly commissioned to arrange the match there has been some delay in sending the challenge. The challenge is sent in behalf of Yale, Columbia, Princeton and Harvard to the universities of Oxford and Cambridge proposing that a fourth chess match for the International Universities Chess Trophy be played by cable. The match is to be played during the spring of 1902 under the same conditions as heretofore.
The trophy which will be played for is a silver shield offered by Mr. T. N. Rice of New York and will become permanent property when it has been won three years in succession. Oxford and Cambridge won the first two matches and tied the match last year.
