Garrison and Police in Hexangular Rugby return clash today
Today's main rugby attraction will be the return meeting be- tween Garrison and Police in the Hoxangular Tournament.
In the first game Police had a narrow win, but since then they have been weakened by many injuries and are not quite the side that they were.
Garrison, on the other hand, have lost only one other game- to Club-end have proved them- selves a good all-round site.

However, the article in your paper giving prominence to the interview between Him Alford and Sydney Hulis amused me. because if ever a onach mlased the opportunity to produce an English champion, thing coach was Jim Alford.
Around about 1955, I was work- ing in Bath. England with a
17-year-old boy who was ut that time the Somerset County- hich jump champion, His name WAS
Bryan Watts and although his best height wa only 5ft 10ins.. he himsrif slood Gft. 2ins, and weighed only 147 lbs. He had never kad any tuition in his life, and with hig natural ability and 'Ident build he was a potential
national champion.

A great deal of time and money Is "spent on' the training of coaches in Britain and from a personal point of view, I hold no brief either for any of the governing bodies of Brilish sport on their coaches both sides of the fence are full of ideas which have already been discarded by other countries as out of date,
