AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. A CORRKCTIOX. I.OXDOX, Xovemher 20. In the second spell, lirouwlee scored a try which Xichotls converted. Then Oxford played up finely. Wordsworth, running from half way, scored, and Berkeley kicked his third goal. A quarter of an hour from the finish, Oxford were only four points behind. Then the Oxford defence collapsed. Steel and Robilliard got tries, which Nicholls goaled, and Steel dropped a goal. The game ended: Xew Zealand * 33; Oxford Id. COLOXF.Iv TRFYOR’S OPINION. I.OXDOX, Xovemher 20. Colonel Philip Trevor, writing in the “Daily Telegraph,” says: “My opinion of the Xew Zealanders’ cleverness and resources has been increased by the Oxford match. They are never beaten. They always have an alternate plan, and they adopt it with apparent ease. The finest side that we can find will be up “against it to beat the New Zealanders if they play as they did against Oxford.”

WELSH RFFFREFS. V I.OXDOX, Xovemher 21. The Welsh Rugby Union, at a special meeting to-night, decided, in order to avoid any rupture with the Xew Zealanders, to submit three names from which the All Blacks shall select an acceptable referee lor the Cardiff match.
