STANDARD OF RUGBY AT HOME DECLINES
NEW INSPIRATION IS NEEDED: AUSTRALIANS MAY SUPPLY A TONIC
London, Feb. 8.
International games played already this season have revealed the unfortunate fact that Rugby football has de- clined. This was the fear when England beat Wales at Twickenham: it was emphasised when Wales beat Scot- land.
New inspiration is needed. The standard of club football has deteriorated, and that, of course, is reflected in the international arena. Perhaps the visit of the Aus tralians next season may start a new fashion and furnish a new impulse.
