(Continued from page 299). A f e w errors crept into the table of representation given last week. Brighton was omitted altogether, and Rugby was given 86 places in Oxford teams instead of 70, and a total of 141 places instead of 125. C. R. Cooke was included among the Cambridge Etonians ; but it would appear that he went up from Ipswich after being at Eton, and should be credited to Ipswich. Two more players—W. Cooke and J. C. Robertson (both 1829) should have been included in the Winchester-Oxford list, swelling the Wykehamist totals to 88 and 178. The revised table now given includes this year’s match. The additions and alterations necessary to bring last week's lists up to date may be thus given : E t o n (O x f o r d ) :—W . G. K. Boswell and G. R. R. Colman to two years’ list (1913-14) ; O. C. Bristowe (1914) to add to the one year list. Harrow, Winchester, and Rugby are not affected. REPRESENTATION OF SCHOOI.S IN THE ’VARSITY MATCH {1827—1914.) Z j . Total. 1 b Oxford Teams In Camb.
