With victory resting on the outcome of the last of the 24 games which constituted the "H.Y.P.D." College Chess League tourney, the Crimson players were nosed out by a strong Princeton chess team at the clubhouse of the Marshall Chess Club, 23 West Tenth Street, New York, during the vacation. This year's tourney was the first since 1926 in which the Crimson team has not come out on top.
In the final match, between Princeton and Harvard, the best that Harvard could do was to pull out a 2 to 2 tie thereby losing the tourney. In this match N. E. Long '32 succumbed to Forbes of Princeton who adopted a Sicilian defence and defeated Long in 32 moves, and A. G. Malkan '33 went down to defeat before the superior play of McCormick. The Harvard victories were registered by V. L. Eaton '34, who won from Rothschild of Princeton and by M. A. Mergentheim '33.
