Postcard entitled “king of the alley” features a bear bowling. Lengthy handwritten message appears to be friendly banter between acquaintances regarding the annual boat race between Oxford and Cambridge. The unidentified creator believes “Oxford is going to win the next four or five years” and claims that it is “easy to bump some Cambridge blues, but to bump a strong Oxford man, that’s hard!”
