It's a clear case of brains over brawn in Lowell this year. While the Bellboy grid giants are playing doormat to the intramural loop, the Lowell chess team captured the inter-House championship. The other Houses could not come close to checking the Bellboy wizards of Caissa; until Monday night Kirkland A had matched the champions point for point, but they failed to win a single game when the chips were down.
The final standings of the inter-House tournament: Lowell 16-4; Kirkland A, 14-6; Kirkland B, 12 1/2-7 1/2; Winthrop A, 7 1/2-12 1/2; Adams 7 1/2-12 1/2; Winthrop B 2 1/2-12 1/2.
On Friday the Harvard A team lost to the Boston Chess Club 2 to 3, to open their competition in the local Metropolitan League. But the Crimson latter-day Morphys will try to bounce back tonight at the expense of the Lynn and Wells clubs, which the A and B teams meet respectively in the Lowell Dining Hall at 8 o'clock.
