WEEK-END. RUGBY
Club And Army Should Both
Win Their Respective Matches This Afternoon
Says "PAK LO"
This week-end the two major games are on the Navy ground at Cause- way Bay where at 3.00 p.m. the Navy are at home to the top rank- ing Army XV in what should be an easy game for the Army side. At 4.15 p.m. the Club, who are lying second in the Tournament Table, micet the RAF on the same ground.
There are again two "friendly" games scheduled for today. These will take place at the Army ground at Boundary Street. The first, which is between the Police and RAF "E", kicks off at 3.00 p.m. while following them a curiously composed Club "B" XV will play against 74 LAA.

Says I. M. MaeTAVISH
I make no apology for returning this wook to the subject of the reforce.... and his financial reward for contri- bution to Colony football.
At a recent meeting of the local Referees' Committee, the subject of the fees paid to the men who blow the whistle was discussed. I refrain- ed from raising the matter in this column at the time, but as the whole thing is now being talked about in the soccer highways and byways I feel that the case cannot be prejudiced one way or another by mak- ing a few points here now.

Ray Daniel: I
To Win Back My
Want Place
In The Wales Team
By JAMES CONNOLLY
London.
Eight months ago Ray Daniel played centre half for Wales in Czechoslovakia. Now he is centre forward for Cardiff City's reserves.
Says 28-year-old Daniel: "I am grateful to Cardiff for bringing
me back to Wales, but this can't go on for ever.
"I want to win back my place in the Wales team, and the only way to
do that is with first-team football."
Then Daniel hit at his critics like this: "I am in a difficult position about asking for a transfer because of this apparent, and unfair, reputation people have attached to me of being 'a bad boy'."
