SCHOOLBOY RUGBY MOVEMENT
WELSH PROBLEMS MUST BE SOLVED
THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS' UNION
L
(By Rowe Harding)
London, September 30. AST season I described the origin of an ex- schoolboy movement in West Wales which promised eventually to fill the gap in the Rugby life of boys who leave school at 14 and generally play no more until they are drafted, as very raw recruits, into some usually unscientific senior side.
It is too early yet to say that the moverment has succeeded in its dual purpose of providing recreation for youngsters and players for the senior clubs, but a number of sides have been formed, and already I have seen several young players who give promise of developing first-class form in a year or two.
What is needed to ensure ultimate success is the organisation of the individual clubs into a union on the lines of the Secondary Schools Union, which has done such splendid work since its formation in 1924.
There is no doubt that Welsh Engby owes its present: healthy Condition very largely to this organisation. What has been done for the secondary school- boy own, and should be done, for the ex-elementary school- boy. However, before a union of this kind can be formed there must be a sufficient mum- ber of constituent clubs.At present there are
