...first round of the annual fall chess tournament has been played. The twenty five men entered were divided into five sections, each man playing every other in his section. The following players, who won the greatest number of games in the first round, will enter the semi-final round, playing in the sections given...

As in the Harvard-Carlisle game, Columbia scored her touch-down by using an unlooked-for style of offense. Yale finally won, however, by better endurance...
