However, let's get down to busi- aess. From this week-end to next we have something really serious to think about.

Have any of my readers ever had the experience of watching a Rugby match and a water-polo game being played simultaneously by the game players? If not, you should, go down to Happy Valley one of these fine evenings, where you can see how the trick is done. I was fortu- nate enough to be present at the last affair, an dit was good to see.

Then things took a turn. Someone apparently suggested that seeing the "ground" was well under water, they might as well abandon football and play water- polol. This was greeted with a chorus of approval, especially from the losing side, who were rather enger to have a change.
