McGregor (who was unanimously elected captain of Athletic) gets his scrum more, evenly balanced, and can bring the backs together ns a machine, the Oxford-cum-Camhridge u coloursshould not he so easily lowered. - For Elf ham Page scored from a nice bout of passing from a scrum, while iCooper kicked a penalty goal and a goal from the field, the latter being a particularly neat piece of work. Lay (from a passing rush) and Grant (from a pass from a. line-out) scored for Athletic.
