"How are the mighty fallen?" The question after last night's game between the Club and the Navy is not "How?" but "Why?" And it is all too easy a question to answer. The Navy deservedly won by 11 points (1 goal, 1 try, 1 penalty goal) to 6 points, (1 try, 1 penalty goal) in a hard and fast match which showed up the Club's weak points.

British Racing Faces
The Biggest Crisis Of Its Long History
Says CLAUDE RICHARDSON
London, Dec. 18.
From almost every side come warnings that British racing faces the biggest crisis of its long history.
Owners, It is said, are badly hit by the big discrepancy between their ex- penses and the amount to be won In prize money on the British turf; breeders are forced to produce mainly the sprinting type of horse which can be expected to yield quick returns, and at the public sales the cream of British breeding is being knock- ed down to foreign buyers.
The trend is reflected on the, Stewards thinkc that thero 18 trock, with uversena triumphs mounting in the country's blg- gest stakes.
