Whist Club Matches.

The Whist Club team will play the Alter Ego Whist Club of Chelsea at Chelsea this evening. The following men will play: G. Kerper 3L., V. K. Keesey '03, C. M. Barry '03, A. C. England 4M. The Whist Club will play the Waltham Whist Club toworrow for the second time and a match has been arranged to take place a week from today with the Cavendish Whist Club of Boston.

The Club will hold its annual duplicate tournament open to all members of the University during the latter part of this week. The entries will close at Leavitt's tonight and a fee of fifty cents apiece will be charged. Entries will be received singly or in pairs and efforts will be made to secure partners for those who enter without them. The contestants will be divided into sets of four or five pair each, and each pair will play every other pair in the same set; the winners of each set to constitute the semi-final round. To the winning pair silver cups will be awarded, and the team which plays Yale in March will be drawn to a great extent from the men making the best showing in this tournament.

The Club has held regular weekly meetings in the Union since October and cups have been given after each meeting to the man making the highest score. The team this year is unusually strong and has won all three of the outside matches which it has thus far played.

The National Whist Association has offered a silver cup to be competed for in an intercollegiate whist tournament this winter. If plans now in progress are matured the tournament will be made an annual feature, and the cup which has been offered will become the permanent possession of the college winning it five times. Invitations to enter the tournament will be sent to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Pennsylvania, Cornell, and Brown. The first tournament will be held in the rooms of the New York Whist Club in March.
