The Oxford and Cambridge Rugby match is a festival that

all good Oxford and Cambridge men keep if they can. The many thousands who went with the King to Twickenham on Tuesday were rewarded with the spectacle of a hard fought game in which, though the unbeaten Oxford team won, as they were expected to do, the Cambridge team played far better than they had ever done before and lost by a relatively narrow margin. Oxford scored in the end 21 points to 14, but at one point in the game they were actually behind. Cambridge, though clearly beaten, gained a try in the last minute of the match. * * * *
