SUSSEX CRICKET Rugger As
NEEDS ANOTHER MAURICE TATE
Two Important Changes Made At Warwick
By Ronald T. Symond
London, Apr. 12.
A. J. Holmes will continue his able captaincy of Sussex cricket this season, and his vice-captain will be R. G. Stainton, who hopes to play frequently. Maurice Tate will be the only notable absentee, but his place will be hard to fill. Bowlers of his type are rare the world over, and particularly in English county cricket.

New Scrum Rules For League
Sydney, Apr. 14. The New South Wales Rugby League has decided to revert to the old rule allowing half-backs to put the ball into scrums. In an effort to "speed up" League games, experiments have been made in Sydney trial games with the referees putting the ball into
scrams.
Although the Referees Association was in favour of the innovation, the Rugby League has decided to rely upon the old method. The League
