Millions of
Gallons maturing-
Older and better than ever
Never was your White Horse as good or as old as it is to-day. Years ago, exceptionally heavy stocks of the finest whlakies were laid down to anticipate sales which the quality would justify. These stocks are now fully matured. The result is that WHITE HORSE is now older and better than ever before, exceilent as it was In 1932 and preceding years.
This advance in quality and age will be maintained. White Horse is now the equivalent of a fine liqueur.

England May Prefer TATE AND
Another S. African To Play At Back
By Leo Munro
WILL an Englishman play full-back_for England this Rugby season? A successor to H. G. Owen-Smith must be found, unless our brilliant South African player decides, after all, to rejoin the fray.
That seems unlikely, though Owen-Smith is one of those en- viably athletic people who can tung up at short notice.
The position, if viented, may be hard to All, though one could name n number of useful candidates.
West country folks have a strong fancy for R. A. Gerrard. The former International centre is now installed as Somerset county and Bath club
full-back.
Playing well, too, with plenty of resource and dash. A bit uncertain perhaps. In ground fielding on the Harlequins v. Bath match form. But there is time ahead for practice, and {"Gerry" should be well in the run-
ning for
next an English trinh, month.
PREVIOUS "CONVERTS"
It would not be his Arst as full- back. And, supposing he won an- other cap in a fresh position, he would not be the first "convert" to hold the Inst line for England in modern Umes.
B. S. Cumberlege, for example, came out as n scrum-half. 1. c. | Chicheside, J. C. Hubbard, and R. C. W. Pickles were seasoned three- quarters.
It is possible that Gerrard may be regarded officially as a trifle short of great match experience at full-back.
I should not be surprised if, bar- ring scclients, South Africati suc- ceeded South African for England -H. D. Freakes After Owen- Smith
I wonder if Harlequin centre W. S. Kemble will have any luck in repre- sentative Rugby this season.
quality exactly common in recent seasons of international Rugby.
MISSED HIS BLUE
I mentioned Kemble and luck. He did not have a lot of that when he was up at Cambridge.
of being played at stand-off in this He received there the testimonials
match, at centre in that. But he was not "settled in." He was a candidate for a "blue" two years running, miss- ed it narrowly last season.
Now, as a Harlequin, he con- tinues to oblige anywhere in mid. field when required.
There are people who maintain that Kemble would develop top-class az a stand-off if allowed to concentrate on that position.
REFEREE CONTRASTS
Players are held responsible for the success or otherwise of Rugby under its revised laws. Much more de- pends, in my opinion, on referees.
And still more depends on the per- sonality of the referee. One man seldom stops a game, another seems to be whistling öll afternoon.
I have seen both types this aca- son, and I know which is preferred by players. He is the good fellow who keeps firm control, but "trusts the troops," and does not neces- carly pull them up for every pelly irregularity.

SUSSEX
CRICKET
Case For The Committee
• London, Nov, 0.
In view of the fact that the recent decision of Sussex County Cricket
Club not to renew the engagement
of Maurice Tate has evolted adverso
has put the
criticism, pheral D'Arcy
Brownlow case
for the committee. In reply to
to the contention that Tate should have been given longer
notice, the chairman states that on August 3 last, at the request of the Selection Committee, he informaer Tato that his re-engagement was not to be recommended and that unless casualties occurred his services would not be required for remaining matches.
"EXPRESSED HIS THANKS" chairman says:
Commenting on that interview, the
"Thero was no possible mlunder, landing and Tate, who left the room in a state of emotion, expressed his thanks for my timely informs- Hon."
The chairman having urged, in a | long and ■ympathetle statement, that the element of surprise could not exist in view of the fact that for the past season Tate had been on a yearly engagement, goes on to contend that "there is a -vast difference between non-renewal of an agreement und 'sacking' or 'dis- missal."
The chairman adds that Sussex owed much to Tate, but that he, too, owed something to the county which brought him out and always treated him with the rentest consideration.
A SECRETARIAL LETTER In a statement yesterday Tate, whose agreement expires next April,
remembers the interview to which the. Sussex chairman alludes, but reiterates that more than one mem- ber of the committee Inter assured him that he would be all right for anollier year.

GLAMORGAN CRICKET CRISIS
More Support
Needed
Glamorgan County Cricket Club urgently need more support to enable the club to continue in the County Championship.
Last season was one of the most successful in the club's playlug his- tory, yet the accounts, which will be published shortly, show D joss of £1,300.
Records reveal that Glamorgan have the lowest season-ticket mem- bership among County Clubs. And some of these clubs have had much poorer playing results thon Glamor- gan.
The club intends to make a push to increase the membership, and it they do not succeed the commolitec may have to consider some way of cutting their losses.
This could only mean one thing, the withdrawal of the club from the County Championship.
