Scotland Loses 12--8 To England

London, March 17.

England defeated Scotland by 12 points to 8 at Twickenham to-day in one of the most exciting Rugby Union Inter- nationals over played at this historic ground. Scotland led by 8 points to nil at half-time but in a sen- sational rally which had the crowd of 50,000 constant- ly on their toes, England won the game, with a goal, a drop goal and a penalty goal to Scotland's goal and a try, depriving Scotland of a hitherto unbeaten record in In- ternational games this season.

Nuernberg, March 17.

Nazi leaders, who a few years ago portrayed themselves in spcaches as the big bad wolves of war, were revealed yesterday as sheep fleeing, for protection behind Hør- mann Gooring as the former Reichsmarshal sought to shoulder responsibility in a dozen fields.

Although never faltering in his witness stand role of Hitler's faithful henchman and the tireless promoter of Na- tional Socialism, Goering showed Irritation and disgust as one after another of his fellow defendants through their attorneys tried to prove it was Coering and not they who was responsible for the various deeds com- mitted.

As the defense attorney took over the questioning of the No. 2 Naz before the International Tribunni, Goering, in contrast to his comparatively sodate behaviour during his own testimony, grimaced and rolled his oyta.

It was a session that separated the lions from the rabbits. For, the benefit of those who wanted

to reveal themselves in the rakibit | class Goering testified:
