BRITISH BLUES IN RECORD FORM

Oxford And Cambridge Beat Harvard And Yale By A Record Margin

By Guy M. Butler

London, July 16.

A great and glorious victory by nine events to three (a record winning margin) by Oxford and Cambridge over Harvard and Yale on the White City Stadium track than the most optimistic English supporter could have hoped for. But there was nothing chancey about our men's performances, which I feel convinced were all done on their merits.
