Cambridge Paxtisaus Say . They i Should Not Represent Oxford. , i From the New-Tork Sun. ri: . TTho Bhodes scholars st Oxford are coming in for some .criticism just now, arid not faw of the Cambridge par ;; tisana assert that thef should be ex- eluded altogether from taking- part In the trails and field and other sports, i borne go ss far as to call them pro - fesslonals, and the common term for ; these students bjr warm followers,, of the-light blue is ''games scholars." Of ' course every Cantab Is not off tills dpln Jon, and not long since a Cambridgs pub lication came out with an editorial in -praise of the Rhodes men at Oxford and pointing out what a benefit they were to the dark. blue. What has brought along this aftaok of late in mors viru lent zorm was the tact that no less man seven of the Rhodeslans distinguished themselves at their studies. " In the fall sports of the colleges they have been prominent too. In the recent sports of Hertford college the stran gers' hammer was won by V. T. Her ring, an "'American, with a throw of 114 feet. He had a handicap of 40 feet on A. M. Stevens, formerly of Tale, and whose actual throw was 139 feet 4 inches,-which Is the best performance so far this season. In a recent issue of Sporting IJfe, "Old Blue", takes a liberal vltw of the Rhodes scholar controversy-as follows: "Everybody must have noticed tnere Is a -spirit 'abroad Which, if It does not actuahy threaten the old-time relations between Oxford and Cambridge athletes, requires careful watching. It shows itself just . now In the strenuous en deavors of well meaning but irrespon sible Cambridge partisans' and others to belittle the Oxford .Rhodes scholars in connection with srames. I have no patience with those who .dub them pro fessionals, or games scholars nor have nine Cantabs out of 10. That sort of so-called argument -Is right out of court. It was very properly condemned by a leading Cambridge Journal not long ago. . "The Rhodes scholars are Droving of enormous assistance t6 Oxford, how ever. I admit. And whether Cecil Rhodes meant the most important result or nis bequest to be the yearly acquisition of matured 'athletes at one university for the discomfiture of the other ... is of course another story. The facts remain (a) that the Rhodes scholars are bona fide members' of Oxford university, (b) as such hey' cannot be barred from in tervarslty competition, and (cX all the controversy In the world will not alter the position one whit. Frankly speak ing, the average Cambridge athlete troubles very little what sort of foem&n he has to meet. It .1s only very few who are now rushing' Into print and try ing to make things unpleasant; which action, I may add, is contrary to all the best Cambridge traditions." -' ' Tomorrow, Friday, 1 wUl posl tlvely1e the last day for discount on west side gas bills.
