OXFORD & CAMBRIDGE

Square In Golf Match

London, Mar. 30.

With each side winning tw matches and halving the other. the four-somes in the Varsity contest which began here to-day ended in a stalemate, writes a cor- respondent.

The singles will be played to- morrow, and though Oxford still hold their position as favourites. the degree of optimism is not so pronounced as hitherto.

The Cambridge players, Aghting with great gallantry, saved two games which seemed as good as lost. Neilson, the captain, and Lucus. leaders of the side, played some amazing golf to reduce a crushing, deficit of 9 to only one down.

To-morrow's great encounter-- one that may have a big bearing an the result of the match--is be- tween Lucas and Bennink, the Ox- ford captain. After to-day's events it is not so certain that Lucas wil} Win.

at the same time more thrilling duel than that in which the rival captains were opposed. Though I had anticipated a victory for the 'Oxford pair. I had never dreamed that they would secure the enorm- ous lead of 8 holes after I had beer played. This was the in- credible state of affairs, but the events that followed were equally astonishing.

At a

A Dramatic Change

moment when the Cam- bridge players seemed crushed and utterly demoralised, a swift and dramatic change came over the

game.

Nelison, the captain, who had been the weak link in the partnership, holed a long putt to win the 12th, a hole of 471 yards, in 4. Inspired by this unexpected success, he and Lucas won seved holes in a rov in the amazing score of 22, or one over threes, Their Agures for this stretch of astounding golf were 4, 2, 3, 3, 2, 3. 4. each hole a birdie except the short 17th.

Encouraging cheers which grew lopder and louder "greeted the Cambridge players are hole after hole fell to their irresistible attack. As a display of courage and down- right determination in the most depressing circumstances Imagin- able, nothing finer or more sti- mulating has ever been witnessed. No wonder the Oxford couple, Pennink and Duncan, were reduc- ed to a state of complete bewilder ment, It was not that they had guddenly collapsed. Far from it. They accomplished six of these seven holes in the strict par figures and lost all of them.

For the first 12 holes the cry was

The second round was in the nature of an anti-climax. The Cambridge players falled to pierce deeper through their opponents defence. The period of miracles having passed, Oxford settled down to practical business. By winning the first two holes and thus becoming 4 up, they shatter-

the Light Blues' dream of a glorious victory. True, Cambridge won back three holes and were

Neilson's Vital Errors

Oxford gradually but unmistak- ably regained their ascendancy, being 3 up at the twelfth, where Neilson, who had begun to falter, put his iron shot over the corner of the churchyard into a spinny. After much concentration and de- liberation which all came to no- thing, he missed a short putt to win the next, while at the four 'teenth, he cut another ron shot into a bunker at the side of the green.
