Although the nature of the weather this term allowed much more time to be devoted to Chess, ironically, two matches, against Worksop and Welbeck Colleges, had to be cancelled, the reason being that the Chess teams usually travel with the Hockey teams, and the latter's fixtures were cancelled.

Two matches were played, however, against Bootham School. Unfortunately both were lost, 51-41- and 6i-3, but were, nevertheless, enjoyed.

The inter-House Competition was keenly contested and much hidden talent was revealed as a result. The Grove surprised many by being the eventual winners.

Mention must also be made of the visit of Paul Ceres, the Russian master player, to York. A number of boys went to see him play and win about twenty games at the same time.

The following played for the School :

R. S. Le Pla, S. H. Reiss, R. H. Grayson, P. M. Kemp, D. A. Burnell, J. N. Spencer, J. H. Russell, J. D. Martin, C. E. M. Atkinson,

J. A. Eatough, G. F. Eastaugh, S. D. Ward, M. P. Crossley.
