Saturday's Rugby

REMODELLED ARMY TEAM WILL BE A FORCE TO RECKON WITH

Says "HANLINCODE"

The spectators who made the trip to the Club Ground, Happy Valley, on Saturday afternoon, were treated to one of those surprises that occur in that most unpredictable of games, Rugby. No one expected the Navy to lose to the Army by such a large margini. The fact, "47" the showings of these two teams over the past two weeks, the majority of people expected this to be a close game.

However, as 1 said on Saturday, the Army selectors had an opportunity to see their second string in action and that this could have a bearing on the Navy/Army Match. It is quite evident something had an effect, for this was a transformed ¿Army performance.

Although the team that played had only & very few changes from the lust time the Army XV was fielded, it definitely was a team with a difference, and it may have been that the very thought of good reserves being available helped In putting pep into the military men. Maybe next week we shall see the mafaloes doing likewise. Unfortunately, they have not many men to choose from af the

moment.

GIANT-KILLERS

Attired in the blue blazers which are the standard outdoor uniform of travelling golf teams, officials of the United States Golf Association, and those of us who CA# no longer afford the complete new suit, the team capra senting the Professional Golfers' Association set off to do battle with their opposite numbers in the United States for the Ryder Cup.

The match will take place on Friday and Sunday, November 2 and 4, on the No. 2 course at Pinehurst, North Carolina, which has the distinction of being both the home pitch of our amateur champion, Dick Chapin, and widely quoted as one of the most congenially testing Courses in America.

There was a certain inept- nes at the base of the serum and a tendency in the centre to run straight. The backing was poor and the heeling from loose strums even worse. Let us hope that the Club will rectify this before next week.

INA MAIL

HOPE HOPES WITH EAGER

Bob Hope is no stranger to this sports page, being a good amateur golfer, but here he appears in a new role as a founder member of the Cynthia Eager Fan Club

It all started with the logical conclusion reached by Hai Haughton of Para- mount Pictures that if Bob Hope was Cynthia Eager's favourite film stár, it was only fair that Cynthia should be Bob's favourite swimmer.

Bob Hope thought there was a lot in the suggestion. Hence he has informed Cynthia that he looks to her to break the 400 Metres Free Style record at the Olympic Games at Helsinki and, knowing that Cynthin's main challenge will come from girls who are doing well over 140 Yards, sees no reason why she couldn't do well over 440 Metres if need be.

Cynthia, when asked not long ago if she wanted any one particular picture of any one film star, said she would like to have one of Montgomery Clift.,

Asked if that meant that Bob Hope had faded in her estimation, she replied, "Of course not. Bob Hope is still tops with me. One of my girl friends has some- thing I want. She will swap it for Montgomery Clift. În fact, you can swap Montgomery Clift for almost anything nowadays."
