"Blue"
SUVA. April 12.
RATU MARA ULUILAKEBA has gained his Oxford “blue” in athletics and has become the first Fijian to win the distinction.
At the Oxford v. Cambridge athletics meeting at the White City, London, he was pushed out of first place in his speciality, the hieh jump, by a Danish lad who broke a 70-years-old record with a jump of 6 ft. 2i in. Ratu Mara was second with 5 ft. 8 in., although in Ger many with the Oxford team last year he had jumped 5 ft. 9 in.
