TWO NEWCOMERS IN THEIR FIFTEEN
(By "SCRUM-HALF") Police Rugby team, for to-mor- row's game against Navy is as fol- lows: Taylor; Dinsdale, Howlett, Jackson and Reynolds; Wall and Morrison; Cullinan (Captain), Todd, Scarts; Oakley, Jenner; Wright-Nouth, Dempsey and
Innes.
Newcomers are Todd and Dins- dale, who came out the year be- fore last but who was under doc- tor's orders. Having played in good class Rugby in Scotland, he is reported to be a very useful acquisition. Todd came out here last year and is taking Cullinan's place as hooker.
Players who will be missed are" Wilson, Fay and Leslie, all-of- whom are in hospital, and Lus- combe, whose injured knee-he put it out in the first game this season-will keep him out of the game for a couple of months.
This team should beat Navy, but it does not look too impres-i sive outside the pack.

Following will represent Navy: -F/Lt. Wright (Capt.); Tel, Bow- den, Tel. Paul, Cdt. Lamble and P. O. Skinner; 5/Lt. Plugge and S/Lt. Rutherford; L. S. A. Palmer, Lt. Watson, St. Man- field, Ft. Lt. Taylor, C. P. O. Wtr King,. Lt. (E.) Brown, Lt. Bayly and S/Lt. Heard.
