TO VICTORS AND VANQUISHED.

That last nerve-racking period of Saturday evening's game was announced as "sudden death." "Lingering death" would have fitted it better; for two teams which, after an unusually exhausting game ten minutes longer than the regular, fight through twenty-seven minutes under the strain of knowing that a single defensive slip-up will be irretrievable, are not dying suddenly. It means much for both sevens to have come through such a contest as Saturday's; it means very much for the University seven to have come through it victorious.
