Both pairs indulged in some hard hitting, but the more accurate play of the winners was very noticeable, If they keep up their form they should be a hard pair to dislodge. They now meet the winners of the match between the Lo Brothers (M. K. and Horace) and Henderson and Brearley, who play today.

Mr. Gispert has been on a three months tour of the Northern coun tries inspecting business conditions there. He reports that the sales of Philippine cigars have dropped off to almost nothing. This is due, he elains, to the fact that the Japanese are turning out cigars made in Japanese factories under the super vision of Filipino experts. He said M. W. Lo v. Capt. W. Morris that there were over 200 Japanese (3rd cound).

Nerer, perhaps, in the whole his- tory of Rugby football has a nintel created greater interest, All Edir burgh soothed to be talking of it: half the City-girls and little boys as well as men-wore the emblem of their country, and that finely arranged ground at Murrayfeld, which, with its deftly designed ter racés, enables 80,000 people to fil- low every movement of a game, was packed to tapacity.

were not to superior as the cold figures of the result suggest.

As least England made a fight of it that eight points deficiency at the end, notwithstanding. At half- time Scotland led by no more than three tries to a placed goal and a penalty goal, and although at one period the Scots were ten points ahead England rallied brilliantly in the last twenty minutes of ther game and wiped off hall their

arrears.

And actually it was an attack by England which led up to the team's downfall. The play had been close to Scotland's line for a number of minutes. But presently a defence sorely tried had an opportunity to

touch down." The resultant kick gained something like half the length of the field, and in the Inst Eve minutes Scotland scored the try which made the match appear on paper more one-sided than was actually the case.

Better Side Won.

Catcheside injured a leg.

He left the field for ten minutes, returned limping badly, and after! two minutes more of painful effort retired from the game for good

Yet, even when just and generous allowance is made for the handicap suffered by a side reduced in num- bers, the most fervid English partisan could hardly argue that Scotland were not the better side. They were beaten frequently in the scrum, but the men behind were faster, more rippy, better together, cleverer, and superior in judgment than the back who faced them.

A. T. Young alone of those backs came through the afternoon without something of tarnish on his reputa tion. His breaks through the op position were often brilliant. he darted on the ball like a swallow at a fly, and there was seldom any thing to criticise about his passes.

But H. C. C. Laird had appar ently met with one of those days when a player's fingers are all thumbs L. J.
