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.

WATER POLO GAME ENDS IN FRACAS

Deplorable End To League Tie

The Hongkong Water Polo League match between Chinese Bathing Club and Victoria Recreation Club, at North Point last night, was abandoned mid- way through the second half when several players of both teams became involved in a free-for-all in the home team's penalty aren, while play was in progress in the Victoria Recre tlon Club's goal area.

Victoria Recreation Club, who were the visitors, were leading of this stage of the encounter 0 goals 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 posite end of the pitch by the souna of shouting from a mass of Chinese spectators immediately above the C.B.C. goal.

He turned to see Fung Kwok-wo, R. Silva-Netto, Yam Yau-Ung, and A. J. Hussain 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 field. He blew his whistle and after 30 or 40 seconds the players were calmed,

Mr. Goldman then declared the game abandoned.

Meeting To-morrow

A meeting of Clubs participating in the League has been called for to-morrow the Victoria Recreailon Club, when the incident will be dis- cussed by Club representatives.
