Still, these are early days for criticism, and it is far more impor- tant to acknowledge at this stage that Oxford have the makings of a Ane side. I wou minutes that they really showed their mettle, and their forwards, nd- mirably led by Marshall, turned the tables on the Gloucester pack with

INFLUENCE OF FREAKES? Oxford, incidentally, are packing 3-4-1, and they seem to like it, which is the main point. They used this formation throughout last Easter term, so that we cannot trace the influence of the South African tour, though we may ascribe it to H. D. Freakes, a South African captain. Frenkes was not playing yesterday, though he will probably turn out next week, and bring some stiffen- ing to the defence.

The two chief races at the last Brooklands meeting of the year were won by the two most successful of the season.

Raymond Mays, in the two tre E.R.A., won the Mountain Champlon- ship, and B. Bira (Prince Birabongse of Siam) beat A. C. Dobson by two lengths in the race for the Slam Challenge Trophy presented by his cousin, Prince Chula.

Mays won with great ease at over 80m.p.h. Although Standland on the Multi-Union had won a spectacular race on the outer circuit, lapping at 141m.p.h., he could not get sear the E.R.A. "round the mountain," and, indeed, Arthur Dubson beat hlin later on in a road circuit race.
