When the athlete collapses he seems to be utterly exhausted, gasping for air, and unable to take a fall breath. He complains of abdominal pain and lies side with his legs doubled up. Although he perspires freely, his body feels cold. In order to de- termine the condition of the heart, arrangements were made to look at the heart by means of X-ray Mem- before and after the race, bers of Harvard's varsity and freshmen cross-country squads and individual distance runners of national fame were studied for the purpose. After a race, the hearts ware constantly smaller than before the race. Moreover, the hearts of distance runners who had had many years of competition showed the greatest decrease in diameter after racing. As the man's condi- tion improved the excursions of the heart became greater and sometimes after an hour more the heart seemed to be dilated.

Anaemia of Brain
The theory as to these changes that occur is that the contracted heart of athletes is the result of some form of muscle cramp due to excess of lactic acid in the muscle. The cramp can be relieved by in- haling carbon dioxide which sets
free the lactic acid. It seems like- ly that the general collapse is due to the fact that the contracted heart is unable to supply the brain with sufficient blood and that the collapse is therefore due to some form of anaamia of the brain.

AT TWICKENHAM
FINE MATCH DRAWN
DRAMATIC PENALTY GOAL BRINGS EQUALISER.
OXFORD'S SOUND DEFENCE
The fifty-fifth annual Rugby match between Oxford and Cam- bridge ended with the honours even. Although having a good grip ou the game in the first half, Oxford crossed over three points down. A dramatic penalty goal from a most difficult angle shortly after the resumption, however, placed them on an equal footing with their rivals. Herolc play by the defence was solely responsible for check- ing the thrusts of the Cambridge three-quarter line, who delivered onslaught after onslaught in an endeavour to regain the lead.
A crowd of 40,000 witnessed this wonderful battle at Twicken- ham and were thrilled beyond words by the indomitable defence of the Oxonians, and the relentless thrusts of R. W. Smeddle and J, A. Tallent. Reuter's cable reads as follows:-

Smeddle, realising the futility of running straight for the line, adopted the ruse, when within mamentarily striking distance of the Oxonians' line, of coming back round a mass of players to dash suddenly, for the corner flag.
