A Running Commentary on the Inter-'Varsity Contest by Mr. H.M. Abrahams
Relayed from Oxford
An article by Mr. Abrahams and a plan of the track will be found on page 453.

Relay races are quite a modem vogue, but they become more popular every year. A good relay race, with a well-contested finish, can provide a sort of cumulative thrill that can never come from single races of the kind that make up the programme of, for instance, the ordinary 'Varsity Sports. This afternoon's meeting at the Iffley Road (they are held here and at Fenner's in alternate years) will be described by Mr. Harold Abrahams, the Olympic sprint title-holder, who was himself until a few years ago a pillar of the Cambridge relay teams.
