JACK
WOOD introduces the
JIMMY DIMMOCK STORY
The greatest footbuiling character of them all has told his story. It is a story
of triumph and tragedy, written against the background of a hospital ward in North London. It is the story of London's own Jimmy Dimmock.
Dimmock is as old as the century.

England's Best Rugby Talent Face First
Trial
Tomorrow
By ROY McKELVIE
The England Rugby Union selectors mean business. For the first of three international trials, to be played at Gosforth tomorrow, they have picked the best available talent. They call the sides Whites and Colours. The labels could easily be England and The Rest.
I commented a fortnight ago that the selectors' job would be easier if they had only Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Middlesex to choose from. Of the 80 players named for this trial 19 come from these three counties-ten from Middlesex, five from Lancashire, and four from Yorkshire.
