Oxford versus Cambridge is a book compiled by Messrs. H.
M. Abrahams and J. Bruce Kerr, and gives full particulars of every contest that has taken place between our two oldest Universities up to and including 1930. Beginning from cricket in 1827 closely followed by the Boat Race 1829, which were till the double racket match in 1855, the only two Inter-University contests (there are now -nearly fifty), and to have all these collected in one handy volume will be a boon to many, for contests between Oxford and Cambridge have a charm of their own. If such a thing were possible it would be very interesting to find in a future edition particu- lars of the overseas competitors which include Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Indians, &c., who have increased in numbers very largely in recent years. The book is admirably indexed, and as a book of reference will be invaluable. It is published by Messrs. Faber and Faber at 25s.
