London, November 15.
DOM can any President have had a plea- santer outlook than that which is the lot of J. H. T. Wilson, President of the Cambridge| University Boat Club. He has four of this year's crew available himself, W. R. G. M. Lawrie, D. G. Kingsford, and M. P. Lonnon-and with such AT BADMINTON a foundation another great crew should be pro
duced, writes the "Morning Post".

There must be at least a dozen men good enough to fill the remaining four places, and Wilson's difficulty will be in deciding whom to leave out. T. G. Askwith, who rowed in 1933 and has been "down" for two years, is now at Peterhouse again, but it lis doubtful whether he will be a serious candidate for the

London, November 1.
EFORE this All Blacks Rugby tour is over English crowds, and also those who sit at council tables, are going to appreciate these. young men from New Zealand as the real Simon Pures of the game.
For gradually the terms on which they made the trip are leaking out. And the surprising news is that the only reward these wearers of black jerseys will get will be that of having played for their country.
No fees, no bonuses, no wages disguised as expenses. Just the thrilling satisfaction of having timed out for New Zealand— and, in many cases, having had a sight of the Mother Country.
That will be their reward their
