The eross-country teams of these famous English universities each have a schedule of a dozen con- tests, their association foot ‘ball teams each play 2 games a season, the rugby teams play 28 games, the hockey teams play 25 games, the lacrosse and tennis teams engage in 15 games each and the swimming teams have schedules calling for a dozen meets.
