In order to raise sufficient funds to send our debaters to Lincoln to meet Nebraska University it was necessary to make a canvas of the students and professors. Several students provided themselves with subscription papers and in this way almost forty dollars was raised, nearly enough to pay all expenses.
The Chess Tournament.
The tournament between the University and City chess clubs began last Friday evening at the Y. M. C. A. rooms and will continue throughout this month. Six players represented each club. Our men were: O. A. Bayless, J. H. Fletcher, A. Dillon, L. B. Olsen, A. S. O'Connor, and C. J. Moore. J. D. Gehring is referee for the tournament.
The games resulted in a score of, University 3, City 4, draws 3. In the games J. H. Fletcher defeated R. A. Hazen, L. B. Olson defeated W. R. Carter, and C. J. Moore defeated A. K. Hoge; while of the City players S. Phillips defeated O. A. Bayless and C. J. Moore, D. W. Hazen defeated L. B. Olsen, and W. R. Carter defeated A. Dillon. The games between A. S. O'Connor and J. H. Magaw, O. A. Bayless and A. Hoge, and A. Dillon and D. W. Hazen, were draws.
The playing was, in the main, close, but was in no case brilliant. With but a few exceptions none of our players did their best. Bayless, Moore, and Olsen each made some almost inexcusable blunders, which in the first case resulted in a draw-game, and with the two others resulted in victories for the City players. The second series of games will be played to-night.
