Last night the Air Ministry an nounced: "Early this afternoon fighter patrol of the British Air Force in France intercepted and shot down a Heinkel 111. The aircraft crashed between the lines and two of the crew seen to set fire to it before escaping. Thus far Chinese "Y" have secured 14 to the German positions." British points in seven matches, whereas Univer-
sity have lost once-to Chinese "Y". Wireless.
There is a big school of thought, how- ever, which fects that the conditions at Bridges Street had a great deal to do with University's defeat on that occasion, and G. G. Wood, P. C. M. Sedgwick, M.
