PARK NAMES 12 TO FOLLOW THIS WINTER
Tough Goosander Can Stay And He Jumps Well
By JAMES PARK
London,
The flat-racing season is over and, as usual, I present a dozen jumpers to follow. The idea is to enable the occasional backer to take an interest and in the past seasons we have not come to any harm.
There were far too many seconds last winter, including Tudor Låne in the Grand National, but the 12 showed a profit bucked on a level £1 stake, Having selected six hurdlers for Middicha Charlle took and six chasers 1 will take the i øver hurdlers ft.

BUT NO SIGN OF THE BALL
There's plenty of vigour and determination in this loose serum forming after a line-out in the Army Trial XV's first outing at Camberley but no sign of the ball. It is, however, in the capable arms of the Army front-row forward, P. D. Cleaver (REME and Harlequins), who is being brought down most unceremoniously by two white-shirted Royal Military Academy (Sandhurst) forwards.
Cleaver is getting some support from 2/Lt Inman (Royal Engineers). Sandhurst have a good record this season, but the Army won 14-8.

Easy 20-8 Win For Club Against
RAF Island
By "PAK LO”
Yesterday evening a fairly strong Club side overcame the RAF Island without much difficulty by 20 points to 8 points, under the Club's flood- lighting system.
It was a fast and fairly open game but it was the two Club wing forwards who upset the Island, with their hard tackling and covering,
