Rhodesians Put Up LET'S HAVE WORLD-WIDE RUGGER
Stubborn Fight Against Australians
Bulawayo, Nov. 4,
The Australian cricketers were held up by a stubborn eighth wicket partnership between former Springbok Percy Mansell and opening bowler Godfrey Lawrence before beating Rhodesia by ten wickets here today. The Australians appeared to be heading for a comfortable Innings victory but Mansell and Lawrence put on 61 in 100 minutes. They helped Rhodesia make 166 in their second innings, forcing the Australians to bat again for one run.

Says DENNIS HART
London.
Britain's rugby types are right to cold shouldor the rugby-for- the-1960-Olympics mově. But their reasons are so wrong. Britain's brush-off comes about, in the first place, because the players have got better things to do in August—ie, watching cricket--and, secondly, because rugby is regarded as a British monopoly.
France has been admitted to the outer circle of Home International rugby, the hand of friendship has been grudgingly extended to clubs in Rumania, But....in Rome, these Russian chaps actually want to play.
Now, if an international rugby player, prefers to watch cricket, good luck to him. But the attitude that rugby is at only for the British is bad-bad for rugby and for sport in general. Britain's soccer chiefs once took the same line. Lodon, Nov. 4.

ROYAL JOCKEY RIDES HIS 100TH WINNER
First Time During Season
Birmingham, Nov. 4.
W. H. Carr, the royal jockey, today rode his 100th winner of 1957 — the first time he has ever reached the century during a season.
Carr reached the Algare today in the last race here, the Dudley Handicap run over one and a quarter miles, when riding Mr T. Venn's Timber, a four-year- old, to win a prize of £322 sterling,
Carr's best previous season was to win 92 times, a feat ho accomplished twice. He has never won the Derby but was second on Prince Simon in 1950 and the Queen's Auriole in 1953. He did accomplish a classic treble in 1955, however, when he won the 1,000 Gulness, Oaks and Saint Leger on Lady Zia. Wern- her's filly, Meld. - China Mail Special.

Strongly Challenging Rugby Union Board On
The Amateur Status.
By GEORGE WILLIAMS
London. Trouble is brewing over an international Rugby Union Board ruling that any player who has taken part lu Rugby League football is debarred from Union inter- nationals.
Wales is strongly challenging it, prompted by the cage. of one of their three-quarters, Glyn John, who was capped twice in 1954 after being reinstated Union player. But under this ruling 26-year-old John loses his chance of further "caps."
