EXCITING ’VARSITY GOLF

OXFORD’S DEFEAT OF CAMBRIDGE. GREAT RECOVERY BY MOSS. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 5.5 p.m. London, March 29. The inter-’varsity golf contest resulted in victory for Oxford by to Cambridge’s 6%. The decision depended upon one of the most dramatic singles in the history of ihe contest. Two years ago Jamieson (Cambridge captain) beat Moss by the colossal margin of 13 and 11 and looked like, repeating it at Formby to-day. He finished the morning round 4 up and went on to 8 up and 10 to play. The crowd left, believing the match was virtually over. Then Moss had such an inspired patch that he won five holes in succession. He lost the 14th, leaving Jamieson dormy four. Moss won the next by holing a chip shot from the back of the green. The crowd filtered back and the excitement was intense when Moss won the next two and the fate of the match depended on the last hole. Moss pitching from the rough to five yards from the pin holed out with a gallant four. Nobody believed Jamieson in the circumstances would hole the seven-foot putt, but he managed it.
