AT RUGBY
Such interest was aroused by the Services' four-country inter- national match that a crowd of 8,000 gathered, at the Richmond Athletic Ground. They were treat- ed to a splendid, exhibition.
England and Wales beat Scat- land and Ireland by 17 points to 3, but their margin of superiority was hardly so great as the score would suggest.
England and Wales held a big pull in the tight serums, in which W. H. Travers proved himself a master hooker, and at scrum half. where J. Ellis was irrepressible.
