WELL DONE, WARWICKS
Fine 6-0 Rugby win over Club
By LANCASTRIAN
Though I did not see the game, I must salute the
Warwicks on their fine 6-0 Rugby win over Club last night.
The game, apparently, was good and tight, with Club producing a lot of pressure before the Warwicks settled down and got into their stride and eventual winning vein.

This month the Football Association has taken a realistic and worthwhile step forward. By deciding that England will play in the next Euro- pean Nations Cup, a knock-out competition involving 22 countries, it has recognised the public demand for top-level competitive soccer. Now the FA should take another important step in this direction-by
