The wind on Satur- day played strange tricks, and the teams who used it best were generally successful. So with Bedford and so with the Old Paulines, who were also surprisingly easy winners over Guy's Hos- pital.

The Paulines owe much to R. A. P. Hogbin, the former Guy's forward, who has built up a fine, heavy, hard-working pack, well coached and well together. They were too much for the light and half-fit Guy's forwards.

An interesting sidelight on what I always maintain is the finest type of Rugby is that Hogbin is visiting Honor Oak Park to give the Gay's forwards the benefit of his coaching and advice. Later in the season, especially as L G. Robin and T. Morgan are returning to the pack to give it height, weight and experience. we shall doubtless see the Guy's forwards improved out of all recognition.

HERE are several features attached to the list of entries received for the various divi- sions of the Badminton League, which will prob- ably commence in the second week of next month, the most important of which, however, is the debut of the St. John's Cathedral Badminton Club

Owing to insufficient playing members-most of last season's players have migrated to other Clubs - and partly due to the fact that members are not allowed the use of the West Lounge often enough to put in any practice, the European Y.M.CA, have this year withdrawn from the League, although they are still affiliated to the Association.

The Fire Brigade are this season entering a team in-the- Ladies' Doubles and have considerably strengthened their chances by the inclusion of Miss Griffiths, one of the finest lady players în the Colony, but Miss S. Dalziel, who played last season, is a very doubtful starter, owing to hockey activities.
