CAMBRIDGE CAPTAIN OF .. OLD BLUE.

Cambridge University's Rugby captain, W. E. Tucker, is the son of an old Blue and interna- same initials-having played for Cambridge in 1892 3-4, and for England three times in 1895. Tucker, père, was educated in Canada, but the new Light Blue captain learned the rudiments of Rugby at Sherborne, from where he went to Caius College. He is a dashing forward, of the winging type, and was one of the most pro- minent men in last term's brilliant Cambridge pack.
