CHESS The School team has become, once again, young and inexperienced, and lost both its matches. The first, however, against a strong Archbishop Holgate's team was very closely fought, and we hope the team will do better in the future. The team is still in a state of flux, but the following played during the term : Herring, B. W. H. Carter, B. N. Jackson, Sedman, Griffiths, Clayton, D. M. Walker, Vyle, Unwin, and Claydon. The following are this year's details :School v. Archbishop Holgate's Grammar School. Lost, 4-5. School v. Bootham School. Lost, 2-5.
Herring, Griffiths, and Unwin won in the first match, and in the second Herring won, and Carter and Jackson gained adjudicated draws.
