Chess Team Wins Second Place

The University Chess Team gained second place in the 27th annual tournament of the "C. H. Y. P." Chess League which was held last week in New York. Columbia was easily the victor, thereby retaining the championship which she gained in 1917. Columbia's score was 10 1-2 games won out of a possible 12. The University team totalled seven games to its credit, and was closely followed by Princeton with 6 1-2 games, while Yale trailed without winning a single game.

The games won by the University players are as follows: K. O. Mott-Smith Unc., 2; R. Johnson 3L., 2; F. H. W. Frey 3L., 2; L. Hall '20, 1.

Columbia has now won the championship 14 times, Harvard nine times. Yale twice and Princeton once.
