By Fred Dartnell
London, May 26.
So far as their annual athletic match with the A.A.A. is concerned Oxford is certainly the home of a losing cause, but they come up smiling every year and yesterday were again outpointed to the tune of 73 to 53.

DUNCAN'S FINE RECORD The other Oxford double went to the Norwegian athlete, H. Sivertsen, who broke the discus record for this meeting with 15511. 4in. and proved much too good for his oppon- ente in the weight, his best effort of 40ft. 7 in. also being a record for

It was very satisfactory to see C.
B. Holmes running so well again.
His rest last season seems to have done him good, for he won the sprint and the furlong with comparative from P. J. Wells and H. C.
