Mr. She: Certain aspects of the ense arose as the result of the re- feree's remarks.
Chairman: You think the remarks prejudiced the Committee in arriv- ing at their decision? .....
Mr. She: My whole point is that it was a Lai Wah. Cup,match, and being a knock-out competition there should be no question of replay,

OXFORD RUGGER SIDE.
FOR THE YEAR
Powerful XV Anticipated With Good Talent
London, Oct. 10.
The Oxford University Rugby side will again be led by M. McG. Cooper the New Zealand Scottial Inter- national forward, who acted as cap- tain for K. L. T. Jackson (injured) twelve months ago. Nine Old Blues are available from last year's slrang XV. They are: J. L. Stuart-Watson ((fullback), A. Obelonsky and M. M. Walford (three-quarters). C. F. Grieve (half), and, besides' Cooper, J. 11. Brott, C. T. Bloxham, G. A. Reid, and P. C. W. Disney (forwards), Two, other Blues, R. F. Harding (three-quarter) and II. M. Hughes (forward) are uncertain.
It may be that the team will be built around Walford in view of this player's Bne form as a fly-half late last season. If this is so. G. F. Grieva may be moved to fullback which would leave Oxford to find two new | three-quarters,
Among the Senlorg, W. N. Renwick (Loretto) and R. L. Button (Trent College) are strong candidates, Can- didates for places in the three- quarter line may be J. C. Olver, n Rhodesian, J. H. Portus of Atlelnide University and B. L. Cummings (Michnelhouse S.A.).
The new men include a number of players, with, well-established rehool reputations. R. E. Luyt (Diocesan College, S.A.) son of a famous South African. is said to be, an outstanding half, as is also J. D. Lewis, who play- ed three-quarter for the New Zen-. land University team.
There is obviously plenty of talent behind the serum:- There seems like cause for anxiety over the scrum half- and if Oxford find capable bacles they should have (L very powerful side.
