Cambridge XV Win By One Point

Great Rally in Final Stages Overcomes Lead — Held by Oxford SPECIAL TO THE "kept"

London, Feb. 25.

At Oxford yesterday, 4000 saw Cambridge University avenge last December's defeat by beating Oxford University by 14 points (one goal and three tries) to 13 points (two goals and one try) in the return unofficial inter-varsity rugby match.

No "Blues" were awarded in the match. It was the first time in the history of inter-varsity sport that the two Universities met at rugger twice in the same season, Oxford was superior in back-play throughout the first half and led by 8-0 at half-time. Cambridge retaliated strongly in the second halt, cleverly taking advantage of every opportunity, E. H. Knapp was brilliant and scored all three tries for Cambridge, three being made within a six-minute period. Oxford came back in the last minute to score a goal, which, however, failed to avert a narrow defeat.—Reuter, "mnp." Photo.
