The statistics for the inst fuur- teen years prove beyond doubt that diphtheria in Hongkong is a SERsonal complaint, and is more prevalent during the first two and last months of the year, than at any other period.
Figures since 1977 show that whereas from March to November the average number of diphtheria cases notified weekly is about six, from November to February, In- clusive, the figure doubles itself, and the numbera total from any- thing between 10 and 19.
Up to 1928 the average for the year was very nearly 90. but this year alrendy 138 cues have been placed on record.
The main cause for this. according to the M.O... is not due to finity sanitation, so much as to dust infection. The excep

Roberts played the game of his life. The Oxford three-quarters werg wenk in finishing and the for- wards decided to take matters in- to their own hands. Roberts was particularly elusive and he and N. Lamport riddled the Cambridge ranks, notably in the second half.
Cambridge scored fient through Smeddle, their international three. quarter, who literally flung himself over the line to score a superb try.
Oxford equnilsed in the thirty- fifth minute when Minns went over for a try. They secured the lead two minutes before the inter- val, when Roberts dropped a goal.
Oxford thus led by seven points to three at half-time,
