MOST EXCITING GAME SEASON TODAY? RAF Have Fighting Chance To Overcome Hexangular Tournament Leaders

By PAK LO

Although there are only two Hexangular games scheduled for this afternoon, the Club - Police match having been postponed until Monday evening at 7.00 p.m.

on the Club ground, one of this afternoon's matches may prove the most exciting of the season so far.

The RAF meet Army North on the Army ground in Boundary Street at 3.00 p.m., and the RAF with an influx of new blood and the return of some of their stronger players who have been on the injured list for some time, have more than

a fighting chance of overcoming the Tournament leaders.

Fellowing this at 4.15 p.m. on the me ground, Army South strengthened by the Inclusion Car Jas) of

of the some Whifold Wanderers face A much weakened Navy XV, while in the minor match of the day at Kul Tak, Club "B" face RAF "B".

With Coombes now fit, and neweamer Hughes automatically taking his place beside Martin in the centre after his no showing mid-week, the almen have now one of the fastest three lines in the Colony,

The Big Snag

The Club three line is quite fast, but much will depend on the combination of Addis and Tancock as the halves.

a

With Laville in the centre behind them they could be very dangerous, but are, little slow off the mark and the RAF wing forwards Robin- 901 and Burwood should upset

them.

Overall, the airmen look like having a sight advantage in practically all departments and should win, though Club "B" as umrl can upset any predle- tion.

The Teams RAF: Wilcox.

Coombes,

Their halyes have proved quite good of late and if the Martin, Hughes, Poyner, Lowe. forward can only get the ball Sample, Stear, Hill, Richard, back with any regularity lie Moss, Ahern, Bird, Haigh, Con- speed of this three line will see war. the airmen rack up victory. And that of course is the big snag.

Ane

Army North could play must of its games with anyone behind the pack for throughout they have rolled on their forward's' undoubted abilities to win the Rume for them. Certainly in Phillips they have a wonderful serum-half, and one who could casily lead the threes to victory but he has become used to play- ing to his forwards, and this could be dangerous today.

The airmen, mid-week, sur- prised the Police in the thicouts, and if they even hold their own today they will have a good chce of winning

Main Dangers

The serums should come out about even, but in the loose Hill and Whitmore are the main dangers, for given a chance they can and will upset the RAF halves before they get a chance to get their threes moving.

Defensively there is little to choose between the two teams, and on paper Army North can-

not lose, but on this very hard dry round, an open game by the RAF is the answer, and Against predictions this column backs the airmen to upset the mighty Army North.

ה

In the other Hexangular Army South have made just enough inclusions from the Wanderers

all the to make

difference in their XV. They have put Elliott at fly-half, Davies into the centre of the threes and Tunbridge into the second row. Elliott is just the man to get what has always been a good three line moving into the attack. with his fast breaks through the centre, for the threes are

sunchow fast but have never managed to get to- gether mainly due to greediness by the halves.

Last week saw the christening at All Soul's Church, London, of the Arst son of retired allele Roger Bannister, first man to run the mile under four minutes, and his wife.

Godfathers attending were famous runners Chris Chataway and Chris Brasher, who both recently announced their engagements, which accounts for the fact that Bannister's two-month-old son was called Clive Christopher Roger. "I have always kept in close touch with them since our running days, and always intended to ask them to be godfathers to my first boy" said Roger. "I think it is important that a youngster should do a bit of sport, even if he does give it up later."

Bannister's first baby was a girl.

COURAGE-IT GIVES A WORLD TITLE HOPE For bobby NEILL

Crippled 3 times—the ‘fighting

fool' comes back

a gold medal was struck for the Most Courageous Sportsman of 1958, it would go to a heroic young lion from Scotland named Bobby Neill. For it is a threefold miracle of guts and willpower that this boy with fame in his fists--he fights the champion, Charlie Hill, for the British feather-weight title at Nottingham this month-CAN BOX AT ALL......

Three times he has been the victim of crippling accidents. And three times he has been told he would never fight again.

Indeed, there are some people who call Robert Neill, ex-Rugby and, erleket captain of Trinity Academy, Edin- burgh, "a fighting fool."

"They say, after all I've been be through, that I shouldn't allowed to box," he told me last week, that I'm eraty to throw punches for my daily bread.

"I realise, of course, that they are only trying to be helpful, yet I can't help 10- zarding each remarks a 3 alight on my intelligence,' 'Never So Fit'
