OXFORD CAPTAIN'S

HARD TASK

PROBLEMS TO SOLVE BEHIND SCRUM

RESOLVE TO BUILD UP TEAM

London, October 16.

KLT. JACKSON, the new Oxford captain,

seems to have several problems to solve in building up his side for the Varsity match in two months time. There is the problem of team selection and also that of the fitness of some of his key men.

It is stated that two of last year's players, C. F. Grieve, the full-back, who was chosen as a stand-off for Scotland, and J. C. Guy, the serum-half, may not play at all, owing to the injuries they received last season.

There is also a doubt about the captain himself and his part- ner of two seasons ago, J. M. McShane, the Australian scrum-half, though they both hope to declare themselves fit.

This uncertainty, in addition to the loss of the three inter- national three-quarters, Peter Cranmer, A. L. Warr and H. D. B..

Elverson carried the ball to Yale's two yard line on this play in the second quarter"and a touchdown followed. Yale, howevƐer, came from behind, to win 31-20.

The playing conditions were ex- cellent and it is quite inexplicable why the scoring was so high. The Club wag facetiously explained that the fluctuating dollar, managed currency, and silver backing were diverting factors for the players; this may be correct but my private. opinion is that the toasting of the President's addition proved the dis- tracting influence.
