GOSSIP IN THE WORLD OF SPORT
Enforcement of Athletics, "colour bar" by various sporting bodies of South Afrien may result in the abandonment of the sugges- tion that the Empire Games 1934 he held in that country.
or
The Athletic Association decid- ed that no coloured competitors be aflowed to enter; now the Box- ing Association emphasises that all boxers affiliated must be of pure European descent.
The Swimming Union also up- held the colour bar, but in swim- ming circles it is felt that As South Africans will have to com- pete against coloured competitors in Empire and Olymple Games In other countries it is impossible to enforce the rule,
Oxonians will learn with plen- sure that two of the record-break- ing athletes at the public schools championship meeting at Stamford Bridge, the results of which were published in another column, will shortly be members of their Uni- versity. Lord John Hope (Eton), who bettered the figures of the present O.U.A.C. president, H. S. Townend, in the half-mile, is go- iny up to Christ Church in Octo- ber, and K. S. Duncan (Malvern), a remarkable long jumper, also is expected to be in residence.
This is all to the good. The reign of R. M. N. Tisdall being now at an end it is reasonable to expect Oxford to interrupt the monopoly that Cambridge have held for so long in the University sports. As Tisdall has walked away with one event after another Oxford men must have recalled with a sigh that were it not for
examiners he would be competing on their side. Tisdall failed three times. I believe, writes "Olympian” in the Evening Standard. in Res- ponsions. before he gave up the unequal struggle and went to Cambridge.
