SPRINGBOXFORD ARE STRONGER THAN

THAN EVER Cambridge May Drop Some Of Last Year's Blues

By PETER LOVEGROVE

Oxford University, who will set up a record if they win the Varsity rugger match for the fifth successive year on December 9, could if they wished field almost a full XV of ready-made Commonwealth players.

Full-back C. J. Saunders and front-row forward C. J. L. Griffith, two Blues still in residence, and forward Chick Henderson, who missed last year's big match owing to injury, hull from South Africa. Nine more men from the Union, an Austra- lian and a New Zealander took part in the Freshmen and Senior Trials. And eight men from the Dominions have already represented the Dark Blues in their Arst three fixtures. Small wonder that Cambridge men have coined the name Springboxford for their rival University.

Wimbledon Film Records The Highlights Of The 1952 Championships

"Wonderful Wimbledon,” a film of the 1952 Lawn Tennis Championships, has been produced by the Slazenger sports goods firm. Besides showing the highlights of the tournament, the film is also instructional.

It contains slow motion studies of the leading players practising their favourite shots on the outer courts; Savitt's fluent backhand, Sedgman's tenacious net volley- ing, Drobny's copybook-forehand, and McGregor's thunderous serving are all fully recorded.

IRISH SURPRISE SCOTS TO DRAW 1-1 AT HAMPDEN PARK

Glasgow, Nov. 5.

A goal by centre-forward Lawrie Reilly in the last second of the match enabled Scotland to draw 1-1 with Ireland in the Soccer International Championship match today, at Hampden Park, · ·

There was no score up to eight minutes from the end, by which time the light was poor, it was raining heavily and the pitch was heavy. Then Ireland, who had played with great determination, scored through Inside-right Seamus D'Arcy.

The goal came unexpectedly after the Irish defence hod undergone heavy pressure withi every Scottish player, except | -Roalkeeper Farm, up In the Irish holf trying desperately to foress.o
