        I'm not Ed, but I'll take this one, as I happen to know the
goalie for the Cambridge Blues.  He's a doctoral student (from
Vancouver) under Stephen Hawking, who dropped the ceremonial puck at
the Oxford-Cambrdge match last year.  (There's a great story behind
that; perhaps I can get his graduate assistant at the time to tell
it.)  Oxford won, I believe 5-2, and Chris was greeted with chants of
"SIEVE!" the next time he turned up at the Department of Applied Maths
and Theoretical Physics.  (I told some of his mates the Black Hole
cheer in the local pub on a visit this summer, and they were duly
appreciative.)
 
        Oh, and Oxford and Cambridge play several kinds of football:
Association, Rugby Union... I'm not sure about Rugby League, which is
the English attempt to emulate the American game.
