HALF STRUGGLE
(By Parcy Rudd)
London, Dec. 23.
New Zealand suffered the first international defeat of their four at Cardiff on Satur- day, when Wales. inspired by the memory of 30 years ago, beat them by 2 goals and a try to a goal, a dropped goal and a try.
It was a remarkable game, & dour and somewhat unattractive first half being succoeded by a second half which produced 22 points and which, because of its quickly changing for- I discussed with Mr. C.

KING EDWARD VIII is a prince of sportsmen. He is, in fact, regarded as a greater sport than he is a player, altthough his prowess in many directions has often evoked the admiration of the severest critics, His hunting is of the dash-
ing Yorkshire kind; his lawn tennis is not so excellent as his squash rackets which was his favourite pastime until he embraced golf, and for the past twelve years this has been his chief recreation. He rated a steady twelve händicap in 1934.

The close connection between sport and military defence in Nazi Germany is frankly ad- mitted in "Physical Training for Military Defence," a bro- chure written by Hermann Teske, sports teacher in an army school near Berlin.
"The aim of all physical training yas and always will be: Wehrhaftig seit."
"German recruits," ho Koca n, are to be lod away from the soisonous idea of 'sport for sport's ake, which doesn't fit in with the Nazi Weltanschauung.
All German port must have a purpose."
To understand this attitude it is atcessary to know the history of German athletics. During the past entury, after the Prussian defeat of 1800, German sport, mainly of the athletic and gymnastic order, was in he hands of the "Turn-Vereins," who met
