Edinburgh, April 5. THE MENACE OF THE SCOT It is characteristic of German thoroughness that, having once adopted the Aryan thesis for them- selves, they should seek to apply it to other peoples. Professor Karl Wildhagen, who has devoted a book to its application to England, sees, a Nordic stock predominant in numbers and, of course, in virtues.
there are inferior races, such as the Scots and Welsh, who menace Nordic superiority. For the Welsh we will not speak. The Scots have always had the name of doing their best.
PRESS, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1934. REVIEW OF SHANGHAI RUGBY SEASON

A Turn of the Tide
'Then came a sudden and sur- prising turn in the tide. Neilson and McGill had caught ap Brown and Knox; Rowell was making a terrific effort against Pernink.
Yesterday's play was desperate ly exciting. Hopes and fears al ternately surged in hot and cold fits over the agonized spectator and those were almost to be en- vied who took merely a detached and impartial interest. It was diff- cult, if not impossible, to appraise the quality of the play. The one thing that mattered was who won the hole. In that time he won it and whether he did it by: jump- Ing bunkers or laying stymiles was This last seemed the key match Pennink, of secondary importance. However; and all rushed to see it. there was some very good play in- having played nicely and steadily dced. I should pick out, perhaps, and profited by his avdersary' the top player on the Cambridge mistakes, was three up with foul side, Wallace, and the bottom play-to go. Rowell won the 15th in er for Oxford, de Quincy, for the good 4. Down to two, Rowell was higher praise, but I must not forget on the green at the short 16th and one Oxford loser, W. F. Moss, who Pennink was bunkered and could made one of the most heroic, not get out. Down" to one. though unavailing, recoveries ever nink missed his shot to the loos dreamed of. He was eight down 17th and Rowell noted, a good putt with 10 to play against Jamieson. for à 5. All square. And then and he had had an unlucky and Rowell gave his enemy space to depressing round in this particular breathe. He hooked his tee shot match. Yet he fought so lustily into a bunker, and though he that his adversary had to hole a struggled well and nearly holed his six-foot putt to beat him at the long putt he took 5. Pennink kept last hole. Not since the late Char- calm and holed a five-foot putt for les Hutchings was hunted by Sida 4 to win the match, ney Fry at Hoylake in the Cham- pionship of 1902 has so wonderful
stern chase been seen.
The end of the first round saw a state of marking time so far as the whole match was concerned. Each side was leading in five mat- ches, but Oxford still had its one priceless point, gated in the Four- somes, and the one man in whom Cambridge reposed the greatest confidente, W. F. Eills, was in the horrid situation of six down. For Oxford Brown led by one hole, Knox by three, Robinson by two, Duncan by four, and de Quincy by six. For Cambridge the first three. men, Wallace, Rowell, and Jamie- son, were four one, and four up respectively. Lyon was two up and Marsham three up. The situation wus, of course, capable of a kalei- doscople change, but Oxford had every reason to be pleased.
Morris Falls
In the first match Morricë did not quite ve up to the form he : had justly earned the day before. Perhaps the pulling off of that surprising Foursome had taken it rather prodigally out of him. At any rate, he was labouring a little. was inclined to cut his iron clubs, over the and was not confident dubious putts. Wallace played. rea- sonably but not exceedingly well. He went off with a rush, winning the first two holes, where Morrice was bunkered, and being in and out of the third hole to consolidate his position. Morrice steadied him- self to halve the fourth, and he holed a great putt for a 2 to win the short Afth, where Wallace was bunkered. However, he was never really happy, and Wallace drew away again to end with a lead of Iour hardly justified by a score of 80 or thereabouts. Still he look- ed like a golfer all the time, and his long brassy shot up to the 11th green was one that very few golf- ers could have played. Rowell, after a bad start, had a 3 at the fourth, and pitched a bold and glorious stymie to win the fifth in another 3. When he holed a long butt for 3 at the 11th he seemed well away, but Pennink hung on with plenty of pluck and got back To within striking distance at lun- cheon. So did Neilson against Brown. He fluctuated from tựo up to three down, but ended only one
down.
Or the others I thought Jamie- son, Duncan, Marsham, and de Quincy were playing the best golf: Duncan's round of 74 was thot oughly creditable in a stif breeze. His putting was crisp and free his and inspired confidence a friends and depression in his foes He has been one of the successes of the match. Lyon missed several chances of getting a really satis factory lead an Johnson, and Elis, Trom the moment he hit the rail- way fence as the first bole, was thoroughly wlid, and unlike the Dhe golfer he had been in the Foursomes. And so

Next came the amazing match before luncheon between Jamieson and Moss. Jamieson, eight up at little the eighth, was possibly merciful for a hole or two, and he lived to repeat it. He lost five holes in a row and, incidentally, some balls in the rough. He wOD the fourteenth and then lost three more holes quickly. At the home hole Moss jumped a bunker with his second and Jamieson putted hard and straight along the floor to the green in 3. Moss was 14-ft. away and Jamieson 6-ft. Moss holed a beautiful putt; the specta- tors felt positively sick with pity for Jamieson, and he, too, holed as good a putt in the circumstances as could be conceived.
Oxford were still not safe, face Brown, then being donny one, ap- proached the last hole in short fluffs, and Knox, who was "all it "by short square, approached tops. However, Robinson and Johnson clung to their small lead with a fine tenacity and, anyone had time to go them, each was walking home and Oxford had won.

A SCOTSWOMAN'S HONOUR A distinguished Scottish woman scholar is to be honoured by Glas- gow University, on June 20 when. Miss Elizabeth Helen Alexander, 15 Queen's Crescent, Glasgow, re; celves the honorary degree of LL.D.
Miss Alexander joins a notable gathering of women honoured by Glasgow University including Miss Helen Keller, Madame Cure, and Dr Frances Melville.
Her most remarkable contribu- tion to learning has been the edit. ing and ordering-of the rare manu. scripts and books, belonging to the late Professor John Ferguson, for nearly 50 years Professor of Che- mistry in Glasgow University.
When I spoke to her recently Miss Alexander told me that heb part in the arrangement of this immensely valuable library has brought her into touch with scient- ists in Germany and "America, where there is keen interest in Pro- fessor Ferguson's work. Many of the old writings on alchemy in his library exceed in rarity and inter- est the volumes in the British Mu-
seam.

It may be as well to consider now whether it is better for the Harkow and Hongkong, Axtures to be on at the same time. Pre- viously the Hankow fixture has always been played during the Christmas holidays, but, since it is very
doubtful whether any member can get away to both Hankow and Hongkong, when the latter fixture is an away one, it does not seem to matter if the two do clash. Next year, how- ever, Hongkong are visiting Shanghai, and therefore, it might be as well to play the Hankow match at Christmas if possible.. Then, if any last minute casualty should occur in the Shanghai ff- teen, there would be no difficulty in filling the gap.
The Marine Matches The three Marine matches were R source of great interest. The first game resulted in a draw and the second in a win for the Marines by five points. The
