8th Heavy Regt. "A" Will Take A Lot Of Stopping In Sevens Two Encounters Postponed
Birrell Plays Big Part In Sappers' Win
The inability of Royal Scots to play their First Round Seven-A-Side Rugby Tournament matches yesterday was disappointing, but the five games played provided excellent fare, although the only pointer to later successes was given by 8th Heavy Regiment "A", who are going to take a lot of stop- ping.

LAWN TENNIS ENTHUSIASTS have probably been wondering what has happened to the famous French players. News is gradually coming to hand.
EFFECT OF WAR ON BRITISH GOLF
If the war ended to-morrow, professionals say it would be 10 years before British golf would recover from its effects, writes Harry Grayson from New York.
It took 10 years for England to even partially recover its play- ing strength following World War I, and the current conflict may deal the game in the old world a much more punishing blow than the one of 1914-18.
American golfers wonder what is happening to such shrines of the sport us St. Andrews, Hoylake, Prestwick, Sandwich and Deal.

Dick Chapman has his mund set on the North and South Amateur at Pinehurst, and, take it or leave Eit, the Augusta Masters',
Although he was brought up on the Pinehurst courses, Chapman has never won the North and South. "The Masters' is a large order.
But people listen to Chapman now when he announces his plans. It was last winter that he told Pinehurst friends he was going to Join the Winged Foot Golf Club in New York, study the course und win the National Amateur in Sep- tember,
Chapman, wintering in Florida, will go to Pinehurst carly in the spring for his big efforts there and in Augusta,

Jimmy Thomson, concerned about his short
game, spent month at Pinehurst brushing up for the winter tour. John Fors- man, president. of Winged Foot, took motion pictures of Thomson's swing. There were long night ses- sions in which Horton Smith and other golding analysts probed deeply unto the Scotsman's met- hods.
Jimmy Thomson made adjust- ments and shot a 68 over the championship course in his fare- well.
Golf is the one game in which the stars jump at the chance to help one another.
