FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP
NAVY'S INTERNATIONAL STAND OFF OUT
R.A.F. OPTIMISTIC NOTE.
Once again this season the Army will have a rugger side which is almost up to international standards, and they must undoubtedly start as favourites for the Inter- Services Championship. Army Rugby football has always been endowed with a super-abundance of really good foot- ballers, and herein lies the reason for the Army's superiori- ty over the other two Services, for their reserve strength is
enormous.
Below the prospects of the Royal Navy, Army and Air Force for the current season are reviewed.
