The University Rugby Match At Twickenham, on Tuesday, Oxford won
the Univer- sity Rugby Match by a goal and a dropped goal (nine points) to nothing. Thus Oxford broke a series of failures which has extended to rowing, cricket and ath- letics, besides Rugby football. They deserved their success. Their defence was almost impregnable. Mr. W. P. Rousseau and Mr. L. M. Robson specially distinguished themselves. It must be said that the Cambridge defence was very good too, but Oxford quite prevented the Cambridge backs from achieving any sustained move- ment. Cambridge undoubtedly felt the absence of Mr. H. M. Bowcott as stand-off half back. Perhaps we may hope now for an end to the uninformed talk about Oxford decadence. Anybody who examines the records will see that the successes of both Universities have been apt to run in sequences.
