EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment during the 1932 Varsity rugby match between Oxford and Cambridge universities at Twickenham, a historic venue for the annual sporting event. In the image, Oxford's left wing, V.G. Jenkins, is seen making a clever pass to his wingman, S.L. Waide, as he falls to the ground. The skillful maneuver demonstrates the strategic teamwork and athleticism required in the sport of rugby. At the time of this match, Oxford was considered the slight favorite, with the teams evenly matched in the build-up to the event. The tension was palpable as the two prestigious institutions faced off, each vying for supremacy on the field. The outcome of the game would ultimately determine the bragging rights for the academic year. The photograph, taken in December 1932, is a testament to the rich history of university rugby and the enduring rivalry between Oxford and Cambridge. The image showcases the intensity and excitement of the game, as well as the determination of the players to outmaneuver their opponents. The goal posts in the background serve as a reminder of the stakes involved, with the winning team securing a goal and a try, worth eight points, against Cambridge's single try, worth three points. This photograph, with its timeless appeal and historical significance, is an essential addition to any collection of rugby memorabilia or university sports history. The image not only captures the essence of a bygone era but also highlights the passion and dedication that continues to fuel the Varsity rugby match to this day.
