[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
EDINBURGH, January 18th. Frost and snow held up Rugby all over Scotland, only one leading game being played-Glasgow High School F.P's e Stewartonians. The School team won by 18 palate to 3, but their play, particularly Among the backs, was not impressive, and not what one expects from a side with championship aspirations. The three- quarters, until near the close, showed poor handling. Stewart's were not far behind their opponents in any depart ment, and had hard luck in not gaining At least one score in the second-half; ona dash, which only failed by inches, deser- ved a better fate. Had this been succesS=" In n closer faith might have resulted, far at that time the home side wire only leading by two points. A marked in- provement in their play in the closing 15 minutes, however, brought the High School victory.
The Soccer men have to play in almost any sort of weather, and the card was all run through. There was nothing alluring
about the League engagements, only the Clubs at the bottom of the table providing excitement, and that because they were fighting against the much dreaded relegation. The big match of the week Rangers against Dunder, owing to the heavy ground, was a test of stamina rather than of skill. In the intermittent! patches of artistic play, however, Dunder had more than its share. The game was | drawn-one got each-Dundee scoring in the first half and maintaining their lead until sight minutes of the close, when the Glasgow men equalised. Duudee made a fine impression, and as they were beaten in the first game on their own ground by 4-1 are entitled to plume themselves on the advance shown. Rangers form since the New Fear has disquieter their followers, not on account of any danger Cf the Ibrox club losing their hold of the

TACK & Co., dropped four points in four games, bat because of the possibility of another failure in the approaching Cup ties, Celtic against Third Lanark, and Airdrie against St Mirren, each returned vic tories, thereby lassaning the gap between them and Hangers. Airdrie especially showed a good recovery of form. Baith Rovers, on the other hand, practically put themselves out of the running by coming down before Hibernians. Hearts defeat- ed Queen's Park, who had a rather weak team on the ground. The defit of Queen's Park and sa, unexpected"victory by Clydebank over Eitrock.caused the famous amateur club to descend for the first time to the bottom position on the table. A point ahead of Queen's Park now, and relatively three in advance of Clyde, Clydebank seem likely to escape the fate that practically since the start threatened them. Clyde were beaten at home by Motherwell in a game in which the Glasgow club were unfortunate,

MICHELIN TYRES.
Keep tyres pumped up to correct pressure for the load they have to carry. We can tell you what this should be.

When tyres are under inflated there is continual internal friction between the foundation cord and the rubber, causing overheating of the tyre and consequent rapid deterioration.

Water can also enter causing rust, resulting eventually in the rims having sharp edges which cut the walls of the tyre near the bead.
Most cars in Hongkong run on under inflated tyres with the above disastrous results. Have your wheels examined front and rear for trueness and tracking alignment: If they are at fault in this respect the tread of the cover is subject to a grinding action which quickly destroys the cover.
Keep tyres free from oil and grease.
