Cambridge Win By Wonder Try

Match Hardly A Lesson

In Rugger

(By Trovor Wignall)

The high-spot of the annual Rugby match between Oxford Uni- by versity at Twickenham won Cambridge by two tries (8 pts.) to one converted goal (5 pts.) was a once-in-a-million try scored by J. A. MacDonald, the Light Blues left-wing threequarter,

This was the highly dramatic happening that gave Cambridge the victory, and it occurred so very suddenly that some on the ground may not have had a clear view of one of the most remarkable runs ever witnessed.

A very lively and sporting little contest was the outcome of yester day's football match between the

Referees' Association, played by kind permission of the Authorities, on the Army ground at Soakumpoo.

The Press won by the odd goal in three, after taking a two-goal lend in the first half, und lanving a penally missed after the interval.

The gether with splendid effect. Omar brothers were a lower of strength, and generally speaking the half back line was too energetic for the Referees attack which lacked finishing powers.
