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 was more 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.

Victoria Recreation Club, who were the visitors, were lending at this stage of the encounter 8 goule to 2 and looked like easy winners.

The referee's attention, which was focussed on the play to his right, was attracted to the brawl at the up- posite end of the pitch by the souna of shouting from a mass of Chinese spectators immediately above the C.B.C. gool.

He turned to see Fung Kwok-wn, B. Sliva-Netlo, Yam You-ting, and A. J. Hussnin struggling in the water, and a few seconds later, D. H. Taylor Joined them.

The captains swam up and tried to pacify their players.

The referee, Mr. R. Goldman was powerless to prevent a free-for-all as he was moored in a sampan on the side in the centre of the old. He blew bla whistle and after 30 or 40
