By "PAK LO”
Tomorrow evening, Wednesday, October 12, the Club faces its first real test of strength this season when it meets Johnnie Henderson's XV at 6.00, p.m. on the Happy Valley Ground.
Many spectators have been speculating lately on whether the once all-powerful Club has improved from last season. In my opinion it most definitely has in many respects.
