Times "reviewer of Rugby Football," by Mr. J. A. Davies (Webster's Publications, 18 6 net)
When congratulated from Wind- sor Castle the writer of this brak! is addressed as "Cunstr. Lieut.- Commander W. J. A. Davies, ! O.BE but he is of such amin-1) ence that "Davies" without prefix ! suffice or further indication would! suffire. As captain and stand-off] half-back of the England Rugby XV. he exhibited many excellen- [cies; perhaps the chief of them was his knack of doing not only a right thing but the right thing that is the thing that was timely i Consequently, it is no surprise that he should publish his book on Rugby Football in the week of the first big match since his retire- ment at a time when-election or no election-in clubs and crowded railway carriages and places where men discuss Rugby Foot ball the most urgent" question aff fat is “Who is to takg Davies's place?" No one will suggest that it can be filed.
