NAVY FAVOURED TO WIN RUGBY SEVENS TOURNAMENT Expected To Meet Club In Final On March 1 22 Of 26 Teams
Selected: Two Keen Games On Saturday

TOURNAMENT
COMMENCES
ON
SATURDAY WITH 10 MATCHES, OR EIGHT MATCHES IF IT IS TRUE THAT A.S.C. AND 8TH. HEAVY REGT. "C" HAVE GIVEN WALK-OVERS, AND THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME VERY LIVELY MATCHES BEFORE THE SHIELD IS PRESENTED ON MARCH 1.
I have a few of the teams, sufficient, I think, to make a complete forecast at this early stage and despite the doubt that surrounds such fine players as J. C. Charter, who will not be back from his honeymoon until next week, and A/Ldg. Tel. Paul, who is feverishly putting the finishing touches to an injured knee.
