Not Recollections But Resolutions Should Be Policy For New Year
It is a new year. Convention has it that at such a time wo should either look smugly back over what has happened in the old year or make ambitious resolutions which we hope will contribute something to the betterment of the

It is true that it can be a pleasant luxury and even an entertaining pastime but this is surely the time when everyone in our sporting world should set about making positive resolutions if only as an expression of their determination to contribute some- thing to the progress of the particular sport in which their interest lies.
