...annual intercollegiate chess match will be held this year in the rooms of the Columbia Grammar School, New York City, beginning Christmas Day and continuing throughout Christmas week. Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia will be represented. Each team will consist of two men and each member will play six games. The team with the largest percentage of games won will win the match.
