TO GIVE EXHIBITION OF CHESS PLAY ON TUESDAY

K. O. Mott-Smith '22, One of Best-Known Collegiate Players, Will Carry on Simultaneous Matches

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

At the meeting of the Chess Club last night it was announced that K. O. Mott-Smith '22 would give an exhibition of simultaneous play at the meeting of the Club next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in the Club Room.

Mott-Smith, who was president of the Club last year, is one of the best known collegiate players in the country. When Rzeschewski, the young prodigy who has defeated most of the world's experts, came to Boston last year, the Boston Chess Club asked Mott-Smith to play first board in their simultaneous match with the boy. Although the game was finally adjudged a draw long after midnight, Mott-Smith had a winning position and it was only because his eleven year-old opponent was too tired to play longer that the game was discontinued.

The Club has also announced the gift by Mr. H. W. Barrie, problem editor of the American Chess Bulletin, of a picture of the late J. C. J. Wainwright, famous problem composer.
