A large number of these games will, like the two tonight, be played under floodlight as the HKRU are of the opinion that the game is even more attractive to fans when played at night. At the same time this cuts out the crowd- drawing opposition of the Races.

The anmusi Inter-Varsity freshmen's athisilo meeting at Iley Road, Oxford, last week. ended in 76-59 win for Oxford. But the best performance of the day was by a Cambridge man C. J. Bacon who threw the javelin 200 feet 9 inches, 14 feet over the old under- graduale record, and nearly 40 feet further than his nearest challenger.
Another ominous performance for Oxford was the mile win by Cambridge's Bruce Tullah, who this summer shocked the athletics world by winning the AAA three-mile ütle. Talioh, who aften runs barefoot, was running out of his distance but was su an easy win- ner in the slow ime for 4 minutes 20.5 seconds. Though only up at Cambridge for a year the is a Southampton botany graduate), he will be exceedingly dangerous in next year's full Varsity sports.
