WEMBLEY. STAMPEDE..

SOMEONE BLUNDERED.

LONDON, April 29, The Football Association disclaims responsi lity for the overcrowding at Wembley (reported our carlier cables.) Officials say that the arra ments were not in their hands.'

GREATLY EXAGGER

Earlier reports of the casualies are represent as greatly exaggerated in official quarters at We bley.

It is pointed out that only 22 cases were ad- mitted to Willesden Hospital. Twelve were de tained for the night, three of whom were able to go home to-day. The remainder are doing well.

As to the evidence of breaking down the turn stiles this was done rather in a spirit of fun that maliciously. It is pointed out that every penny in the 14 change boxes and 150 turnstiles containing money has been accounted for. Only a few poands damage

was done to the stadium.

“MOST IMPORTANT STEP:

THE NEW "RHODES TRUST.

LONDON, April 29.

Licut. Col Sir W. M. Grigg, MP, Secretary of the Rhodes trustees, in an interview with the Observer, hails the Davison scholarship fund as a most important step forward in the path-marked by- Cecil Rhodes. The will particularises the excellent American results obtained by the Rhodes scholar- ship system, especially in the professorial sphere,” and hopes the Davison scholarship scheme, which only applies to the magnificent Eastern American, universities, will be taken up by other Americans who will encourage better touch between British ideas and those of the Middle and Far West.

This new "Rhodes Trust" has been founded by Mrs. H. P. Davison in memory of her husband. who was an ex-partner of the J. P. Morgan Company. Under the new trust three Oxford and three Cambridge students will be enabled to spend a year at either the University of Harvard, the University of Vale or the University of Princeton.
