Some vacillation in position he tween the eight teams now at the head of the League will take place, and it will be the team which gains an early lead of about five points which is likely to maintain its place i and run out at the top: of the League.

SPORT IN SCHOOLS

INTRODUCTION OF LAWN

TENNIS

The question, has again been raised by several old Harrovians as to the necessity of providing on alternative game to compulsory cricket at Harrow School. The mat- ter has been debated before, and while auggestions have been made as to the playing of lawn tennis and golf by those who, for various reasons, view cricket with dia donc in the matter. favour, nothing, as yet, has bean

It may be that at pelled to play may influence them, but the same state of affairs is found at other schools where there is no compulsion.

The Brulses on Neck Mr. d'Almada also pointed out the bruises on the woman's neck. They were half an inch apart from the "Adam's Apple." He commented that if a man WAS bent on assaulting a woman, he would not 30 delicately pinch her in that part with his thumb and first finger. It would be more reasonable to think that a man would grip the woman's neck with his hand wide opened. In that case the marks would have been on either side of the neck."

Husband Away

In conclusion Counsel pleaded that the jury must not judge by appearances. There was no doubt that the prisoner was in a humble position, but the jury would have to bear in mind that the woman's husband 'was away and that he hind a young and pretty concubine, At all material times, the woman did not share the same room with her husband.

What the Law Presumes Summing up, his Lordship said that it was a most serious case that the jury were asked to de- cide. The woman's reputation as well as that of the man's and his liberty were at stake.

Lady Doctor Preferred

At this stage his Lordship suggested that the local authorities "will be wise. in future, to offer the services of a lady doctor" in complaints of rape.

Further, his Lordship said that there than an assault of same kind had been were present some facts which showed

Dealing, then. with prisoner's evid ence, his Lordship observed that when he made a report at Police Headquar ters and applied for transfer, his story The Police then proceeded to the houer was disbelieved and he was detained, There they heard the woman's complaint and acted on that only, and not on pri- soner's original report.
