St Andrews University scored Bound Rugby win over Edinburgh, Aca- demicals at St. Andrew's by 2 goals, i penalty goal and a try (16 points) to a penalty goal (3 points.)
The vic-
tory was all the more creditable in view of the fact that A. A. M. Heap, the student stand-off, had to retire in the second half, suffering from sub- acute appendicitis.
The home team displayed greater initiative than their heavier opponents. C. J. Semple, playing his last game for St Andrews before leaving to take
South up an appointment in Africa, made up for some indifferent touch kicking by fielding with confiden- .ce. Of a smart three-quarter line, P. C. Blair was outstanding, and. E. R. Winton, back at scrum half, revealed his old touches. Of the forwards, R. J. Morris, R. M. Mather, R. W. H. Peebles, and C. Armour were always prominent. B. C. E. Richardson, was Bound in the Edinburgh team's last line of defence. Leading for- wards were 1. N. Graham,.... A. G. M. Watt, T. B. Moodie, and E. H..Gallie.
