Antedating of "Guard" (Basketball) (UNCLASSIFIED)

Okay.  Thanks for checking.

What is the best way to get antedatings to the OED staff?  I assume that
you scrape the posts and send them, but at one time I would cc to
oed3 at oup.com (which no longer seems to work).  The OED office sent me a
link to a web form that you could fill out, but I've lost the link.
