Cup, victories over the professionals, tour to Europe and the Far East, reports of every season and each Varsity march with the progress form Queen´s Club to Craven Cottage via The Oval, Stambord Bridge, Highbury, Dulwich, White Hart Lane and Wembley Stadium.
The are numerous photographs, records of the XI´s and al Oxford´s Full and amateurs Internationals. Lighter moments and personal reminiscences are here, with an Iris referee making Osford a $65 minute fog-bound second galf foal keepers veining provide whith dinner bells to held the opposition, and a forward heaving to be released from a greyhound trap before the game coud begin!
