With several weeks to go li is rather early to think about the University match, but keen interest was taken in the first severe test of Cambridge recently, when they were beaten by the Harlequins on the Rugby Union ground by a dropped goal, three penalty goals, and a try, to three goals.

FOR CHARITY
As the result of a series of bas- ketball games, held in the Chinese Y.M.O.A., Bridges Street, the sum of approximately $200 has been rated for charity. Participants in the games included members of the crews of the American naval vessels now in port.
The hope has been expressed that more of these games may be held as they draw large crowds.
