can develop the island and this servile
method is at variance with our laws and
institutions. For the violation of a
solemn promise our colleagues point to
our duty to humanity. We point to
a higher duty, the first and highest duty
of every American citizen, to guard and
keep from harm our government by the
people and for the people, and to see
that the republic does not result in
failure and perish from the earth.”
While the judges were in the rear
room passing upon the merits of the
speeches and their manner of delivery,
Mr. Twichell congratulated the debaters
on the excellence of their bearing, and
the thoroughness of their preparation
and their clearness in presentation. He
said he saw in it all a good thing for
the ministry. He thought that no other
one thing made a minister a failure than
poor presence and delivery. He told of
a friend of his who had left his parish in
Hartford and gone to the far West.
In one of this friend’s letters he
lamented the poor preachers to whom
he was obliged to listen every Sunday
and said that his great desire was to hear
his old pastor (Mr. Twichell) again,
adding: “Why, the very worst there is
better than the best here.”
The decision that Yale had won the
debate was greeted with cheers and very
soon after a good-sized bonfire was
blazing in the snow between Treasury
and old North College in celebration
of the victory.
The judges of the evening were Pro-
fessor John B. Clark of Columbia Uni-
versity; Mr. Charles B. Hubbell, Presi-
dent of the New York Board of Edu-
cation and Mr. George L. Rives of New
York City. The alternates of the two
teams were:  Princeton—Alexander
Armstrong, Jr., ’90, of Maryland: Yale
—John Kirkland Clark, ’o9, of New
York; Winchester Noyes, ’o9, of New
York. and Eugene Walter Ong, of
Ohio.

INTERCOLLEGIATE CHESS.
Tournament in New York During
the Holidays—Yale’s Chances,
The seventh annual Intercollegiate
Chess Tournament will be held at the
Columbia Grammar School at 34 East
5ist street, New York City, beginning
December 26th, and lasting the entire
week. Mr. E. A. Caswell, ’66, will have
entire charge of the tournament.
Yale’s chances of winning, while not
as good as last year, are brighter than
usual. An increased interest in chess
has been shown in the University tour-
nament, which has lasted almost all the
Fall, and the new material which has
been brought out in the matches, is very
encouraging to promoters of chess in
Yale. In place of Mr. J. W. Showalter,
who coached the team last year, the
Chess Club has secured the services of
Mr. F. J. Marshall, who is the present
champion of the Brooklyn Chess Club. .
Under the direction of Mr. Marshall the
new candidates for the team have been
making good progress and the team has
been coached especially for the tourna-
ment. :
The matches in the final round of the.
University tournament resulted as fo]-
lows:
L. A. Cook, 1900, won 5% and lost
2%; A. Bumstead, P.G., won 5 and lost.
3; A. M. Webb, 1901, won 5 and lost 3;
H. Logan, 1900, won 3 and lost 5; H.
M. Russell, 1902, won 1% and lost 6%,
and J. C. Pickett, 1900, withdrew from
the tournament. :
YALE REPRESENTATIVES.
As the Yale team is chosen from
those players who make the best scores
in the University tournament, L. A.
Cook, 1900, and A. Bumstead, P.G., will
probably represent Yale, with A. M.
Webb, ’1901, and H. Logan, 1900, sub-.
stitutes. Webb and Bumstead were
tied in the University tournament and
it may be that Webb will be one of the
final team. Webb has shown marked
improvement in his play this year over
that of last year, and has done excellent
work in the tournament. L. A. Cook,
who was one of the two men who
represented Yale last year, has improved
under the coaching he has received this
year and he will undoubtedly to credit-
able work in the tournament.
YALE AND PRINCETON HANDICAPPED.
In these Intercollegiate Tournaments
Columbia and Harvard have a great
advantage over Princeton and Yale, in
~
that their representatives enjoy the
‘privileges of membership in the New
York and Boston Chess Clubs. Some
of the expert chessmen in the country
are members of these clubs, and the ad-
vantage of having played with such men
is of very great value to an amateur
both in learning new methods of play
and in experience. For the purpose of
gaining such practice, members of the
Yale Chess Club who are now in col-
lege, organized the New Haven Chess
Club, but as this institution has been
so recently founded its members have
not become experienced and no par-
ticular advantage is gained by the Col-
lege players in playing with them.
The teams which will represent Co-
lumbia, Harvard and Princeton have as
yet not been: decided. Meyer, of
Columbia, who played last year in the
tournament, will probably play this
year; Southard of Harvard, who won.
every match he played in the last two
Intercollegiate tournaments, will again
represent Harvard, and the two repre-
sentatives of Princeton in the last tour-
nament are now in college.
