RUGGER PROSPECTS GOOD THIS SEASON
Splendid Start Made
(By "Collie")
ARMY PLAYERS have made a splendid start in the new Rugby season. The first two matches against the Club have been won, the Army men showing them. selves to be very fit as compared with their opponents who faded badly in the second half.
THE ONLY newcomer to the Army rugby circles this season is 2nd Lieut. Heath, who is a bustling, hard- working forward and very useful in the pack. Capt. Douglas, Royal Scots; in the unaccustomed position of centre three quarter, played a very safe game and could be relied on throughout; and Capt. Hook also played an excellent game at fly-half.
