...five years. The Brooklyn seven had the advantage throughout the game with speed, team work and good playing off the boards and Queen's was fortunate to score their lone goal 43 seconds before the end of the final half of the game.

Chess was in vogue among the polite countiers of Kubla Khan when the game of football was played with a rough stone, kicked about the wild British moors by half-naked tribesmen. And chess will remain a noble game when the last goal post has rotted and the last pigskin has burst. To make chess less than football is to make the immortal dependent on the strictly finite.
