Numbering the Scots.
EDINBURGH, Feb. 7. When Scotland took the field at Swansea on February her Rugby players will carry numbers on their jerseys for the first time in an in- ternational match in these islands. English people have never quite un derstoxl the Scottish attitude in this matter. In deriding the Scot- tish Union for its conservatism they should remember that on the only ocension when the experiment was triod in Paris it was the Scottish players themselves who expressed disapproval of the innovation.

Men brought up in this tradition were therefore opposed to every innovation which tended to make Rugger & spectacle rather than a game for the players.
The great dio-bard against num- bering was the late John Aikman Smith, the Napoleon of Scottish Rugger. Other members of the Union have long resigned themselves to the inevitable, but "Jack" was adamant to the end. "Rugger,' he said contemptuously, is not a cattle show."

It is two years ago to-day since he died on his way to the Scotland Wales match. It was only put of respect to his memory that the Scottish players were not number ed last year.
In the Tradition,
The best verdict on Scotland's in ternational Rugby match at Swan sea comes from the selectors, who have chosen the same side to meet Ireland in Dublin at the end of the month. Only those who were for tunate enough to watch the match with Wales can realise how superb. ly good the Scottish forwards were, We have such a noble tradition of forward play in Scotland that the revival of old glories in the sorum will do more than any other phase of play to restore our prestige on the Rugby field. --
