WOMEN'S SHORTS BANNED
BY ARMY CLUB
MEMBERS IN REVOLT
TENNIS STARS CONDEMN AN "OLD FASHIONED RULE”
The wearing of shorts by men or women has been ban- ned in the Aldershot Officers' Club, rendezvous not only of officers, their wives and daughters, but also of, many county families living near Aldersbot.
The ban does not apply to outside. games, but is to be enforced through- out the clubhouse with the exception of the dressing-rootus. `
Hundreds of women members are rebellious against the new regulation -and they have substantial support from the younger men members.

"I know that many of the junior officers do not support this dictatorial measure."
On the other hand, the secretary Kald:
"This club is the recreational cen tre not only of the command, but also of well-known civilian families of the .neighbourhood, and the decencies must be preserved,

as well as he could in view of his prestige which was at stake.
In the same year Nielson won the Battalion welterweight belt presented for the first time in 1934, and the following year he successfully defend- ed his title and added to his laureis by annexing the Area championship.
From the foregoing it is clear that Nielson is a boxer of no mean ability and will assuredly have a big say in the destination of the Area welter- weight championship at Murray Bar- racka next month.
