Aberdeen, August 30.

TWO London youths, John D. Langley, of Stowe School, and Ralph Norris, of Cheltenham College, have reached the final of the British Boys' Amateur Championship. They will meet

over 36 holes on the Royal Balgownie links here to-morrow Each is 17 years of age, and they are making their last appearance, this being Langley's fifth attempt to win the title.

A stylish player and completely self-possessed, Langley He has played a plays from the scratch mark at Northwood. good deal with, and received encouragement from, P. B. Lucas, the distinguished left-hander, who was also a Stowe boy. Being of slight build, Langley gets his length by purity of swing and good timing. There is never any hurry and no shot is ever forced, the club and the wrists doing all the work.

Norris, on the other hand, is a more robust type of player. Powerfully built, he hits the ball a mighty crack, but despite a meet business-like attack, he preserves an excellent poise and body balance. Norris, who is 4 handicap at West Hill, near Wok- ing, is a persevering and very confident golfer, and nothing is Burt Langley, the more polished calculated to frighten him. player, is the favourite.

LOSS OF SPEED STIRRING TIMES ARE AHEAD FOR ALL FORWARD'S FIRST DUTY

(By HOWARD MARSHALL)

London, Angust 31. THE thought of Rugby football in this weather is rather painful, but on Monday the New Zealand team the 1935 All Blacks land in Eng- land. Stirring times ahead, in fact, and many of you will remember the Maori haka, or war-cry, which the 1924 All Blacks used to chant before the beginning of every game. "Ko niu Tireni e haruru ner was one of its refrains, which may be translated as "The New Zealand storm is about to break."

Rather expressive, when we recall the unbeaten team of 1924, and the way those great forwards, against whom I was fortunate enough to play, used to smash into their opponents
