1962 Oxford Tour of the US

In August and September 1962, eight winkers from Oxford University in England toured the United States, playing winks against college teams and other quickly-assembled teams.  Oxford's tour of the US left a lasting impact... the jump-start of intercollegiate play in the US in 1962.  In December 1962, winks at Harvard made Life magazine... one of the most prominent US magazines at that time.
