SNOW IN ENGLAND
Winter Grips London KING CANCELS JOURNEY British Wireless. Rugby, December 9. Snow fell in several districts to-day, while elsewhere, and especially in and around London, the dense fog continued. Incoming trains were delayed, and flares had to be lit to guide traffic in the streets. The King, who had planned to drive from Buckingham Palace to Windsor, to shoot for the first time since his illness, had to cancel his journey. Three deaths are reported in fog accidents.
The weather cleared by the afternoon sufficiently to allow play in the 55th inter-’Varsity Rugby match at Twickenham, which ended in a draw, Oxford gaining a penalty goal and Cambridge a try. The tackling of both sides was deadly, and the scrums were hotly contested.
