ENGLAND SEEK A RUGBY HAT TRICK, SCOTLAND
TRY
TO AVOID ONE
By J.R. WATKINS
At the Colombes Stadium, Paris, this afternoon, England can complete a hat trick of international Rugby Union honours this season. Already winners of the Triple Crown and the Calcutta Cup, victory over France would see England retain her international Championship.
Indeed, with a two-point lead over their opponents, England need only draw to make sure of the Championship.

Even this, however, will be a formidable task. France are a strong side. They have only lost one match this sensor-to Wales and in beating Ireland, Scotland and the All-Blacks did nol once have their line cross- ed.

In the ranks of the 5th Battalion the South Stafford- shire Regiment Territorials today there are men who tell a joke about having a dirty bow and arrow on parade. They are members of the Regiment's spare time club, the Whittimere Company of Archers, who include the BADGES AND LADIES adjutant, Captain A. T. de Villiers.
When he is posted to South Africa in the summer he will take a hunting bow and arrows with him. He hopes to emulate the 1950 African venture of that brilliant American archer, Howard Hill.
