LONDON "COUNTIES"
RUGBY FIFTEEN WHO SHOULD PLAY AT TWICKENHAM
ALL-BLACKS LIKELY WINNERS
(By Half-Back)
London, September 24. WILL the All Blacks, like their predecessors of
1905, complete their tour unbeaten? Judg- ing by last Saturday's form in Welsh club games neither the combined Abertillery-Cross Keys side nor Swansea will stand much of a chance (Swan- sea beat the Tourists).
If you feel inclined to back the All Blacks to win all their matches, or even all their club matches, don't överlook Cambridge University. Here is as likely a side as any to beat the New Zea landers at their own game.
On November 2 the All Blacks meet a team described as "London Counties." The selection of this side has already..I hear, caused controversy. behind the scenes. Opinions differ widely on the policy to be pursued, and this has led to at least one noteworthy resignation.

(By Rover)
ST. Joseph's met their first defeat of the season at Causeway Bay yesterday, when they en- gaged the Fusiliers in a Premier League soccer encounter, the military side winning a very fast game by three goals without reply.
The Fusiliers played delightful football throughout, combin- ing speed with accurate interpassing movements that had the St. Joseph's defence guessing from the first whistle.
Keneghan was the "hrains" of the army side, he seemed to follow the ball everywhere, and in tackling, always clean, and thoughtful distribution, he provided the majority of the open- Ings which the fast Fusilier forwards made the most of
