were set a severe task at Oxford on Satur [day, when seven internationals appeared in a representative Hockey Association XI., which won by 6 goals to 1.
The score scarcely does credit to the good game played by the visitors who, after being led by 4-0 at half-time, made a fine fight of it. As against the Occasionals on the previous day, however, their inside forwards were prone unduly to hang on to the ball in the vicinity of the circle,
Boys, the HA goalkeeper, had quite a lot to do and did it well, and the Afghan goalkeeping was much better than on the preceding day. Yusuf, the visitors' captain, played an excellent game at full-back, the balf-backs were mostly sound, and there was much skilful shooting from long and short corners.
Fison, Rowan, and Wyatt were very sound in the home! defence, and all the winners' forwards played well. with Whitlock, the England centre, giving promise of another great season, and Gregory back in his very best.
Early Lead
Jack Lovelock, the famous New Zealander, above, will run the last race of his wonderful track car- eer at the famous Princeton Bowl, - where another "Wile of, the Cen- tory" race will be held against America's best next month.

London, September 7.
AFTER a magnificent race, Eric Phelps beat.

At the same time I do not expect that he will take his beat- ing on Saturday as final, for until the Brewery at Mortlake was reached he was never out of the race. I think, therefore, that we are likely to see a series of races between these two very fine scullers, which will revive interest in a form of sport which has languished during the twentieth century almost to the point of disappearance.
Barry is a one-pace sculler, and went over the course at an average of two to three strokes a minute less than Phelps. Were he able to cure himself of an awkward little dip over the stretcher which just spoils the run of his boat, the result might easily be altered. He was trained to the minute. Phelps, on the other hand, looked a little on the fine side, but he sculled with magni- ficent courage, and had gained about three lengths by the Mile Post.
