1955 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 CHESS NEW activity this year has been the chess team. Last fall Mr. Knopf, who played chess at Yale, organized a team here. About twelve fellows proved interested, and the best players were picked by a series of tournaments. Later in the term the team went up to Kent to play their team which is coached by Father Gorham. The match was played in the Library before a large audience, which may have been slightly disconcerting to the players. All our men played too fast and with' out much thought so that we lost that match 5f1. A return game was arranged for the next term and was played in the dining room at South Kent. The familiar surroundings proved beneficial as we drew them 36 playing much better chess all around than in the previous match. Towards the end of the term a match with Gunnery was arranged to he played at Gunnery. This time we only took five men over and easily defeated their team Yayzflyg for our first victory of the year. As the YEAR BOOK goes to press a return match with Gunnery has been scheduled. Also scheduled is a match, to be played at New Haven, in which the Hrst three men of our team and the first three men of the Kent team are to play the last six men of the Yale team. Thanks are due to Mr. Knopf for the trouble he has taken in coaching us in the finer points of the game and in arranging matches for us. page fortyfeight
