Massage And Embrocations
Properly understood, massage is a most useful method of treatment, but it requires expert knowledge. There is a very distinct difference between massage and rubbing.
Olls are not generally used for massage in medical cases, unless specially ordered by a doctor. Their use amongst athletes, however, Is general and has pre- valled for centuries. We know that oils were used far back by the compétitors in the Olympic Games.

A COMIC
ICE SHOW TURN OR A FOOTBALL MATCH?
-FARCICAL
L CONDITIONS
By TOM FINNEY
Football these past few weeks has been more like a comic turn in
an ice show than a serious game. The conditions under which some of the games have been played can only be described as farcical,
Don't blame the referees. Their job is to see that games should be played whenever possible; otherwise there would be such a back log of matches that we would still be playing Soccer in midsummer if many more games were postponed. And that wouldn't be fair to cricket.

It is he who is responsible for the fixture at Hoylake, over the last week-end in March, between the Walker Cup team of amateurs and what is in effect, if not playing as such, the Ryder Cup team of professionals.
In some games I believe an amateur is held to be tainted if he is seen so much as talking to a professional, but here golf is one of the more fortunate pastimes.
Nothing happier exists than the relationship between the paid and the unpaid, and the only pity is that they do not play with or against each other more often.
