At a meeting of the players held on December 30, the rule relating to the number of years which a player is allowed to compete was changed from five to four years, in order to place the contestants in the chess tournaments under the same eligibility rules as those of other intercollegiate contestants. A resolution was also adopted to ask the Board of Directors to consider the advisability of altering the rules in order that each college should be represented by four men instead of two and that the tournaments should then be played in teams, to be concluded in three days instead of six. Falk and Sewall of Columbia were selected to make the necessary arrangements for the cable match against Oxford and Cambridge to be played next spring.
