PUBLIC SCHOOLS PROSPECTS
Nucleus Of Good Side
At Eton.
Apart from the usual shortage of promising fast bowlers, the prospects for the coming season at the public schools are particularly bright. In many cases last year's captain is returning, and at West- minster and Dulwich M. H. Mat-! thews and H. T. Bartlett respec- tively will be in office for the third This is Bartlett's fifth
season. year in the eleven. Elon
N. S. Hotchkin, who failed by 4 runs to score his third consecutive century against Harrow, has the nucleus of a good side at Eton. He, will have the assistance of A. N. A. Boyd, a left-hander, to open the innings, C. Bewicke, the
wicket-keeper, and H. Birkbeck.

THE OXFORD BLOOD is TOO BLUE
Reason For Boat Race Defeats.
It has been left to the French
Socialist newspaper. "Le Popu laire," to discover the secret of Oxford's failures in the Varsity Boat Race. Oxford, it anys, is the temple of aristocratic youth. whose sluggish blood provides athletic talent far below that of Cambridge, which is recruited
from
men of more humble origin. Cambridge men, the paper ar gues, are drawn from less ancient stock, and the Boat Race becomes a contest between the England of yesterday and, to-day.
