The Haverford-Oxford Chess Competi¬ tion Violates Regulations, Says the Ruling — Plays Were Broadcast 1 hrough Irving Smith's Station at nomier.
'luiougii an une.xpected- rliiing by the .ji'itish . postmatJter geinerai the ladio chess match between students at iiaveiford College and ciiess enuius- iasls al tixford University, which was jjartly played off under adverse comli- tjons on tile night of lieeemlier S. may neve.' be completed, so say.s the Phlla. North American. .\l least not h;' radio.
Tha fii-.st scsier of games, played be¬ tween foiu' students at Haverford and lour at 0.\foid, resulted in a "SO-.'iU" tiluatlon at the end of about live and and-half hours. Dm ing that time the radio siatimi at llavei'ford and that oi' Irving li. Smith, of Amlfiler, a llaver- tord student witli a |io\vc-iful s^aiiou a; his home, was maintained with the I'higlish   station.
All the .stations ai'e operated by ama¬ teurs under anateur regulations. All conditions we.-e exUe.nely bad, but in siiite of It the ga.nes went along until a breakdown occurred in the llri- lish station.
That phase of the contest got a great deal of publii-ity not o.n'y in this coun¬ try, but in England, w'hoi'e it attracted the attention of Ihitish iiostofflciP olli- cials, who (-oii)i-ol a.mateur radio in that country.
They pointed out to the Ihitish ama¬ teurs engaged in the affair that a per¬ mit I'or such .-1 foi'm of -'test" w-as re¬ quired, am; then application w-as-ljiiule to the iKistmaster general, w'ho. during the last' few- days, has luled thai the international chess m.-iti-h messages'do not c-onstitute "exiicrimental messages" in the sense intended by the Rritish government I'adio .¦egiilatlons.
Most of the Haverford College stu- deiils are .-iway over the holiday.-i. but Air. .'Jmllh. ,-il his .Ambler lino- .Mon¬ day, was astonishe' when he learned of the action of the l'.iiiiij,li goverii- iiient.
"Our -olMcials in this country," he said, "have raised no ob.jection to the tests, and 1 hardly think, they would Interft're with them, .\lthough the ex¬ periment was built a.-ound the i-hess games, it was. neverthe'"---: tirima.rily ¦ ni experiment in extended tran.s-.At- laiitic communication. There was nothing of a commercial nature invfilv- ed in the idea: in other words, it did not seek to transmit matter that ought to he paid for, bei-ause such i test would hardly be arranged sent hy one of the big wi.-elesh panles."
