an epidemic of strikes for mere bagatelles. Even the dustman had struck for the right to pilfer from dustbins. The trade slump was due to a general feeling of insecurity amongst employers. Relations between capital and labour ought to be placed on a settled footing, instead of which the poisonous doctrine of class warfare was being preached. The capitalists were not exploiting the workers and robbing them of the fruits of their labour, for the increased production of the last century was due to mind and directive ability and not to manual labour. Let them at any rate get the old earth back again.

Mr HENDERSON, ex-President, considered the trade union as the great and probably insuperable obstacle to social revolution in this country. The supporters of this robust motion were apparently not prepared to follow up their brave words by any action. The present discontent might often express itself in unreasonable and impracticable shape, but the real issue was: did the trade unions exacerbate this discontent. He contended that they rather diverted it into more hopeful channels. It was not for the good of the nation that the present social system should continue unchanged. Directive ability indeed! Did the rich people who frequented fashionable hotels look as if they ever had invented anything? If trade unions were a menace, so was popular education, so were increased wages, and so were representative institutions. The real trouble was that the trade unions had immense power, but were denied all responsibility, and he asked them not to meet this crying need with a stubborn refusal.

Mr MORRIS, Vice-President, complained that the plaintiff's attorney had been abused not answered. Referring to a pamphlet published in 1912, he denied that the increased wages struck for were really necessary, but were a proof of revolutionary tendencies.

Mr RICHARDSON said that to admit the existence of influences which were aiming at the control of the unions for revolutionary purposes did not prove that the unions themselves were a menace.

He

Mr GROSE-HODGE: corruptio optimi pessima. attacked the present fungus growth on trade unionism. Mr HENDERSON pointed out that the Government had twice refused the miners' request for an impartial inquiry into the causes of the reduced output of coal.

Mr RAIKES Confessed himself a son of Belial who could see no good whatever in strikes.

Mr GREY said that the eloquent ignorance of critics of the working class was the greatest cause of class warfare. Mr KRAUSE wanted the labour leaders hanged for high

treason.

Mr PRYKE thought it was unreasonable for the capitalist boxer now to complain that the pupil he had trained had

become a menace.

Mr BOLD said that the treatment of ex-soldiers by the trade unions was destructive of the spirit of comradeship, the best thing in life.

Mr DOBB quoted Colonel Repington in support of the miners. Naturally men living on the poverty line were more concerned with saving themselves from unemployment than of high ideals.

Mr GRANT wanted trade unions restricted to questions of wages and labour conditions.

Mr HARRISON said that no matter how powerful a trade union might be, they were impotent against public opinion. Mr TRACEY made a pleasant speech.

Mr WOOD. In the struggle between Malloch and Bernard

Shaw the latter would win.

Mr REEVES would vote for the motion as a protest against the tactics of the left wing.

At the beginning of term the river was a curious sight, and smelt most unpleasant, but the repairs to Baitsbite Lock were finished on Saturday, and the water ought soon to reach its normal level.

Chief interest will, of course, be centred round the Light Fours. If one were so mad as to prophesy before any of the crews have been out, one would say that Third Trinity will beat Jesus in the Final, and that Christ's might be quite good.

T. M. Nussey (King's) should have no difficulty in winning the Colquhoun Sculls.

ATHLETICS.

After the Inter-University Sports an article appeared in one of the papers greatly disparaging University Athletics. However, just at the time when this article appeared, a joint Oxford and Cambridge Athletic Club, called the Achilles, was formed, with its headquarters at Queen's Club.

The tremendous success which has attended this joint club stands as proof that the standard of athletics at the Universities has by no means been lowered. Many look for a record year from the C.U.A.C., neither does it seem that their expectations are in any way over-optimistic, for the Club had no small share in bringing victory to the Achilles during the summer.

Seven members of last year's team were selected to represent Great Britain in the Olympic Games at Antwerp. Two were most unfortunate in being unable to go. Six out of the seven are available for the present year.

There is, however, one thing which may spoil the chances of the club during this winter-lack of attention to field events. Englishmen have never taken much interest in this branch of athletics, and that is of course the reason that we don't win the Olympic Games. It is somewhat strange that this should be so, though perhaps it is drudgery and trouble which drive novices away.

Hammer throwing and Shot putting cannot be learnt in a week, nor yet in a month. Any man of twelve stone and above the heavier the better-if he is prepared to face the difficulties and take the trouble, will find it well worth his while to take up either the Hammer or the Weight. Coaching will be available at Fenner's, and directly they get over the first week there will be no lack of interest as they begin to master the technique of neat, quick footwork and the proper application of their weight. But let them come right here and now,' as our American friends would put it.

Freshmen's Sports will be held at Fenner's on Thursday and Saturday, November 4th and 6th. It is perhaps wisest to leave any mention of individual merits till more is known. It is very much hoped that all who have any aspiration to run, jump, hurdle, or sling weights, will enter their names and not be deterred by modesty or shyness! It so often happens that a man does not develop into a runner until the age of 19 or 20, while

those who do not start until then, very often become the best runners in the end.

Athletics also can be a tremendous boon to men who are prevented by the ardour of their studies from playing organised games such as football. Any such can go up to Fenner's any time of the day, partake of highly compressed exercise and a hot bath, and return to his studies within an hour.

Our old friend Alec Nelson is back at the pavilion at Fenner's. All who ask his advice, which he is ever willing to dispense, will find it both expert and sympathetic, whether they aim to win races or merely to keep fit. We not only want to win all our meetings, but even more so to have a record number of entries to the Club.

The fixture list of Inter-College Sports will be published within the next few days, and will be on sale at Metcalfe's.

RUGBY.

The C.U.R.U.F.C. opens the season with the match v. the Old Leysians on Saturday, Oct. 16th. Judging from the material that is known to be available this term the prospects for the University team seem good. Eight old blues are up, and there is a considerable number of Seniors who played for the University several times last year. G. S. Conway (Caius) is Captain, and he will have five of last year's forwards in the pack-W. R. F. Collis (Trinity), who is Hon. Secretary, R. Cove-Smith, P. A. Batty and W. C. D. Considine (Caius). The scrum will certainly not lack weight, and as there is no lack of forwards amongst the Seniors, to say nothing of the Freshmen, there is certain to be a keen struggle for the last places in the pack. Amongst the Seniors up this year is A. CarnegieBrown who missed his blue at the eleventh hour last year through injury.

Of last year's back division only A. B. S. Young (St John's) and K. R. J. Saxon (Emmanuel) remain. D. D. B. Cook and J. B. W. Roberton, who played frequently for the University last year, are again available, and in the centre three-quarter and stand-off-half position C. E. Abelson and J. P. Maclay were perhaps the most promising of those who played last year. C. F. K. Watson (Peterhouse), last year's full-back, is up again and is acting as Assistant Treasurer.

News of Freshmen is rather vague at the time of writing, but it is hoped that the Freshmen's match may produce considerable talent. There are a good many players with good reputations from their Public Schools, and amongst the Naval Officers there are one or two who have done well in Navy football. One Freshman of known form is S. Cook, of St Catharine's, who plays centre three-quarter for Blackheath, and has a big reputation in London football.

Reports from Colleges show that there is a good entry for Rugby everywhere, and several Colleges are running three teams. Inter-College football should be very attractive, as most Colleges have a fair proportion of old colours, and we hope that the game throughout the University will be well up to pre-war standard.

A strong programme of matches has been arranged for the coming term, and the University will meet several professional teams at Cambridge, including a F.A. XI., Chelsea and Woolwich Arsenal. Nine old blues will be available, but it is possible that one or two may find it difficult to retain their places. It will be specially important to find a good substitute at full back for J. S. F. Morrison, last year's captain, whose loss will be greatly felt. In addition to the nine old blues, the most promising of the Seniors are C. S. Colman, H. H. Law, J. T. Badham and A. G. Doggart. We do not know what fresh talent will be found among the Freshmen, but there seems no reason why this year's XI. should not be well up to the average. The University match will again be played before Christmas, on Saturday, December 11th, at Queen's Club.

The prospects of the University Hockey XI. are more than usually in doubt. There will be only six old Blues in residence, as Wahid has been unable to come up again, and it is doubtful if one of these, E. E. Brett, will be able to play.

The two most difficult places to fill will be outside-left and goal. Unless any of the Freshmen turn out unexpectedly promising, it seems probable that an outsider will have to be trained for each of these positions.

R. Locke, G. P. Pittar and Lampard Vachell will all be candidates for the position of right back, and there will be even more competition for the two vacancies in the hal

line. B. G. Whitfield and F. K. R. Long are the most likely choices on last year's form.

The centre forward position is more doubtful. T. E. Morel is the favourite for this place, but he relies more on bustle than experience. He will have a lot to learn, and is likely to spend some of his time on Rugby. C. G. Robinson, R. E. L. Parry, J. E. L. Warren, G. P. Brooke Taylor all played for the University last year as inside forwards.

Oxford are expecting to have a very strong side this year, and are likely to be the favourites. But this is always a doubtful advantage, particularly in the University match, which depends so much on temperament.

This term is likely to see a good many experiments made against the strong club sides that will be visiting Cambridge.

The prospects of the C.U. Hare and Hounds Club for this season are decidedly good. There are in residence two members of last year's Inter-University Team, W. R. Seagrove (Clare) and R. V. Dawes (Caius). The former, who is Captain of the Club, was chosen to run in the Olympic games, and he also took part in the British Empire match against the U.S.A. Team at Queen's Club.

Of the Seniors, P. H. Anderson (Clare), who was first reserve last year, W. T. Marsh (Queens'), the 3 mile Half Blue, and E. A. Strouts showed very promising form at the end of last season, and should do well in this.

Numerous Freshmen are joining the Club, but at present nothing is known of their abilities. The Club is flourishing and new members are coming in steadily. There is, however, still a prevalent idea that the University Club caters only for those who would obtain Blues. This is a misunderstanding. At present the much larger number of the members is composed of those who for one reason or another can only manage gentle exercise. This season the club is making special arrangements for these members. In this way it is hoped to meet the needs of a large proportion of the University, and at the same time to assure the Club of greater prosperity than it has enjoyed in

the past.

The first of the trial games was played on Monday, October 11th. At this stage of the season few players are in good condition, and the play in the Seniors' Trial seemed to suffer in consequence.

Amongst the forwards some good individual work was done, but neither pack played well together, and the scrumming was weak. A. Carnegie-Brown was the outstanding player. Cook and Roberton, the Colour wing three-quarters, were badly served by their centres, and had few opportunities in attack. On the White side, Chapman and Craigmile combined well and varied their tactics cleverly. Chapman has a safe pair of hands and seems to have put on pace since last year. Of the halves, who were somewhat interfered with by "winging forwards, Illingworth showed the best form.

The game ended in favour of the White side with a score of 21-12.

The teams were:

Whites.-H. F. Cockill (Emmanuel), back; M. C. Wainwright (Clare), E. Thompson (Downing), A. P. F. Chapman (Pembroke), and H. W. C. Craigmile (King's), three-quarter backs; J. Ý.. Maclay (Trinity), and P. Anderson (Clare), half backs; A. CarnegieBrown (St John's), J. H. King (Emmanuel), T. E. Morel (Jesus), D. A. Riddell (St John's), A. C. Trott (St John's), T. C. Young (St John's), A. A. McNab (Christ's), V. L. Bowman-Burns (Downing), forwards.

Colours.-A. A. Elliott-Smith (Clare), back; D. D. B. Cook (Pembroke), W. Barrie (Caius), P. O. Davies (Trinity), and J. B. W. Roberton (Emmanuel), three-quarter backs; F. Long (Pembroke), and J. R. Illingworth (Caius), half-backs; G. K. Tattersall (Caius), J. L. H. Miller (Pembroke), J. Q. T. Syme (Jesus), H. R. Paterson (King's), J. K. B. Crawford (Cains), H. K. P. Smith (Caius), L. H. Walls (King's), and S. R. Matthews (Queens'), forwards.

ASSOCIATION.

SENIORS' MATCH.

Played on the University Ground on Oct. 14th, the game ended in a win for Colours, 3-2. The ball was very light and the players out of condition, so that a high standard of play could not be expected. Whites were the first to score, à pass from Morris on the wing rather luckily falling into the corner of the net. Colours replied shortly afterwards through Compton, from a good opening by W. W. Thomas. Before half time two further goals were scored, by Nation for Whites and by Thomas (E.V.L.) for Colours, bringing the score to 2 all.

In the second half play was uneventful with the players. obviously tired. Eventually Thomas (E.V.L.) scored again for Colours.

For Whites Bennett worked well at back, but spoiled a lot of his work by ballooning his passes. The halves all worked bard without disclosing any particular merit. Morris showed speed on the wing, and Nation and Booth in centre combined well together at times. For Colours McIntire played a good game at back. Doggart and

Davies on the left wing initiated some good movements
and were the pick of the forwards. E. V. L. Thomas
scored twice, but he is slow for a wing forward. Both
goalkeepers performed creditably and Colman kicked out
well.

Whites.-C. C. Colman (Wellingborough and Jesus), goal; E.
H. Bennett (Wolverhampton Grammar School and Jesus), and
J. T. Badham (Wellingborough and Jesus), backs; H. H. Low
(Eton and Trinity), R. V. H. Roseveare (Winchester and Trinity),
and G. S. Reade (Wycliffe and St John's), half-backs; W. Morris
(Bury Grammar School and Emmanuel), B. O. Byass (Repton and
Pembroke), C. Booth (Alleyn and Trinity Hall), R. E. Nation
(Newcastle High School, Staffs, and Fitzwilliam Hall), and W. W.
French (Shrewsbury and Sidney Sussex), forwards.

Colours.-F. Rayns (Barrow Grammar School and St John's),
goal; D. W. S. Jarvis (King Edward VII., King's Lynn, and
Downing) and G. S. McIntire (St John's), backs; J. B. Moulsdale
(Bootham, York, and Emmanuel), A. G. Marshall (Taunton and
(Sidney), and P. J. Heaton (Aldenham and Queens'), half-
backs; E. L. V. Thomas (Wycliffe and St John's), W. W.
Thomas (Wycliffe and St John's), F. Compton (King Edward VI.,
Nuneaton, and St Catharine's), A. G. Doggart (Bishop's
Stortford and King's), and H. I. Davies (Nelson, Lancashire,
and St John's), forwards.

SPORT IN THE LONG VACATION.

HENLEY REGATTA.

After our successes at Henley in 1919 we little expected
that Oxford would catch us up so soon. It was indeed
sad to find that only one Cambridge crew (Caius) was able
to survive to the Final this year. Oxford have not only
caught us up, but surpassed us. It is no good flinching
from the fact. We must look it in the face.

It was

Both the Oxford and the Cambridge College crews were
imitations of their respective University crews. The
Cambridge crews had good leg work, but no swing. The
Oxford crews, on the other hand, swung very well, and
were an improvement on their University crew in that
they had learnt to use their legs. They therefore com-
bined body and legs in the orthodox manner. The result
of this was, that they were able to get their blades into
the water far quicker than the Cambridge crews.
obvious to any one, who watched at all closely, that every
single Oxford crew was quicker into the water than even
the best Cambridge crew at Henley. It so happened that
there was a strong head-wind blowing every day of the
Races, and this made matters worse for us, because just
before each stroke the Cambridge blades paused perceptibly
in the air, waiting to get into the water, whereas the
Oxford blades flashed in like lightning, and so gave the
wind less chance of stopping the pace of their boat. Had
there been no head-wind, Cambridge would probably have
done better, but in that case we should very likely not
have realised where the fault lav. So the wind was really
a blessing in disguise. Cambridge leg work is sound. It
is the body work which must be added to it. With care-
ful coaching on fixed seats during the winter, it ought to
be possible to remedy the whole trouble in time for the
next Regatta.

Another equally important factor, which militated
against Cambridge, was the unusually short interval between
the May Races and the Regatta-only seventeen days.
The majority of the crews had spent nearly two months
practising for the May Races. They went stale im-
mediately after, and there was not time for them to

recover.

THE OLYMPIC GAMES.

The general opinion in this country that the United Kingdom rather disgraced itself in the Olympic Games is quite contrary to that of observers in Antwerp. Our. opponents, and particularly those from America, were much impressed by the quality of the small teams we sent over at such short notice. A good deal was made, in the English papers, of the few unpleasant incidents that occurred at the Games. In nearly every case these were confined to the very mixed crowds of spectators. The competitors were always on the best of terms, and in many cases saw a good deal of each other in the town as well as at the Stadium. There was certainly less ill-feeling between the various countries than at any previous Olympiad.

Cambridge was well represented in the Games, with five men in the athletics team, two in the hockey and one in the association team, and several more who were asked to go but were unable to make the journey. Butler, Abrahams, Seagrove, Mountain and Ainsworth Davies all had successes in running events. Our small athletic team did extremely well in coming third, in spite of some bad luck and injuries. Cassels and MacBryan travelled to Antwerp as reserves for the English hockey team, which was so easily successful. They both played in the match against Belgium, which we won 12-1. Harding crossed with the association team, but, unfortunately, did not get a game, as the team was knocked out in the first round. This was due partly to bad luck and injuries to the team, which had not been able to train properly. But there is no disguising the fact that English amateur association has fallen a long way behind that of some countries in Europe.

It has been suggested that the United Kingdom should not compete in the next Olympiad. This would be a tragedy, not only for ourselves, but for all countries. We are still looked upon throughout the world as the leaders of sporting etiquette and good manners. Our secession from the Olympic games would lower the standard of sportsmanship throughout the world.
