...annual fall chess tournament to pick a team of ten men to play against Yale on November 22 will begin today. The 40 men who have entered for the tournament will be divided into sections, in each of which a round robin tournament will be played, the best two men in each section being retained for the semi-finals. The ten men making the highest scores in the semi-finals will constitute the team that will play Yale in the Union on the night before the Yale football game...

Cutts, tackle on Campbell's famous 1901 eleven, arrived on Saturday and will assist in the coaching from now on. His coming will be most timely, for few men are better qualified to coach tackles and guards...
