By “PROP"

The Club tightened their grip on the Hexangular Rugby Tournament title by defeating Police by the narrow margin of six points (a try and a dropped goal) to nil at the Club Stadium last night.

This was a good game, with Club playing more incisive rugger than they have done for weeks, and playing very much as a team, whilst the Police, who were badly hit by duty calls and injuries, fielded a "new look" side which all but made up for its deficiencies in attack with a fine display of spirited rugger.

The businessman golfer takes les- and reads books; he Imitates good players, he buys new clubs; he does everything he can to improve his swing, his shot-making ability.. But he overlooks one important feature-ho doesn't ask himself often enough if he is scoring as well as he ought with his pre- sent ability.

In every club there is always at least one man who has the reputation of making a poor game go a long way, the man who seems always to beat a player a bit better than himself. He doesn't do it by any divine inspiration, nor yet by any trick of fate. He simply uses his head, analysing each situation as it confronts him, always keeping in view his own limitations and power.
