My own sympathies in this mat- ter are with Mr. Allan The trou- ble flared up suddenly, and it was impossible to tell who started it. There were two outbreaks of vio- lence, both of them quickly over, and it seemed to me that Mr. Allan handled a difficult situation very Competently.
Rugby football is not a nursery game. Tempers do get frayed now and again, and I expect most of us have brawled a bit in our time. I do not suggest that brawling a a good or even excusable habit. I Only submit that it is relatively unimportant.
The man who habitually goes berserk and loses his temper and lays about him is a menace. What is more, he, is a bad player, for self-control is one of the essential qualities in a good footballer. The occasional

Apart from this, England's vir- tues were mainly negative. If we except the match-winning genius of H. S. Sever, on the left wing. The mid-field defence, H. G. Owen- Smith's ability at full-back-these were the rocks upon which the other countries toundered. And in F. J Reynolds England have dis- covered a stand-off half who has constructive ideas about mid-fela attack. That, in itself, is suf- ticlently stimulating.
Ireland, to our surprise, tailed with their forwards in the tight. They had in C. T. Morgan the best scrum-hair of the season, and their attack was capable, as we saw at Twickenham. of classical brli- liance. A disappointing year for them. but not altogether without encouragement.

Scotland also found their for wards unsatisfactory, and I suspect that they will have to modify the method whereby they choose good players Irrespective of their spe- clalist positions in the scrummage. Then there was the loss of R. C. S. Dick, who could not play in Scot land's last two matches, a serious Dick might have. the difference made all
to the Scottish mid-held attack.
THE PUZZLE OF WALES Finally, Wales, nind how the Welshmen glid from holding the championship last year to quality ing for the wooden spoon" this year is just one of those things. Wales, have suffered mainly: in my opin- lon, at half-bäck, Haydn Tanner
A far more serious accusation against a referee would be that hes lost that swiftness which used
turned the blind eye to systematic cheating. On this score we may
absolve Mr. Allan at once. Mr. Allan is one of those conscientious
referees who attempt to interpret the laws literally. He did his best with scrummage ftifringements early in the game, but eventually he was eaten.
The scrummage laws cannot be Interpreted literally, and this match gave us a thorough demon- stration of the fact. If referees
are to do their job with impartial uniformity they must be helped by laws, which arc both Intelligible. and practicable.

And if players do sometimes lose their tempers, the source of 1- ritation may aften be traced to the varieties of Interpretation which the laws encourage.
