from the way 1t is played here and

year round. in the open. basketball
is unknown and the series of contests
in any one sport is often long one.
Athletics are participated In by nearly
all English students, and this may be
one reason why the Englishman plays
for the love of the game, rather than
chiefly or largely to win. Professional
coaches are unknown. Perhaps the
strangest fact connected with the
sports of Oxford is the large tuition

his own uniforms, and stands his own
transportation charges for meets with
teams at other places. These with
other similar charges sometimes
amount to 500 per year.
