The third annual whist match with Yale will be held on the afternoon and evening of April 10, in the Theta Delta Chi house, Cambridge. The style of play will be the team-of-six plan which has been used in the former matches. Each Harvard couple plays six fresh deals with each Yale couple; the deals are then played over, the Yale men using the hands which the Harvard men used in the original play, and vice versa, but the pairs are so arranged that no deal is played a second time by a couple at whose table the deal was used in the original play. The Harvard men are playing a long suit game but are ready to meet the short suit game which it is expected Yale will play.
The Yale team will be Cameron '99 and Bryant '99, Beecher '98S. and Cameron '99S., Sherwood '97 and Cooke '97. Mr. L. M. Bouve, captain of the American Whist Club, will referee the match. The Harvard team will consist of C. D. Booth 2L. and F. N. Morrill '97, F. Heilig '97 and O. M. W. Sprague 3G., and W. Byrd '97 and H. Endicott, Jr., '97. Booth, who captained last year's team, and Morrill, president of the Whist Club, are playing the best all around game.
The winners in the tournament which ended this week are Heilig '97 and O. M. W. Sprague 3G., W. H. S. Kollmyer 3L. and F. J. Macleod 1L. being tied with M. G. Beaman '99 and A. R. Campbell '99 for second place. Instead of cups the winners will receive sets of duplicate whist boards.
Practice matches will be played with the Mercantile Library Association on April 5 and with the Newton Club on April 7.
