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.
