REVIEW OF RUGGER IN GREAT BRITAIN

The 1932-33 Interna- fional Season

SOME PROSPECTS AND PROBLEMS

(Special Air-Mall Service)

London, April 11.-The series of international Rugby matches which ended with Scotland's narrow and try-less win over freland, in Dub- lin, has this season provided a re- the markable demonstration of difficulty of forecasting and the anreliability of the line through. form" in these particular encomm- ters.

The Dublin match, for instance, could well have been argued, on such data as were available,,, to be a "gift" for Scotland, while san- guine predictions had placed the robable winning margin as high as Gftern points. Even the blindest partisan of Scottish Rugby must admit that rejoicing over Sent- "triple land's winning of the crowa" must be governed by the infarction. Moderate your tran- sports, gentlemen."

This Scottish team, in which youth was given ita chance to a degree unknown in International ftushy since Ireland folded a team ul." babies," most of whom made The New York and Philadelphia Tasting reputations in due course, and Washington and Boston mat- against England at Leicester tenches were postponed through rain. years ago, must be regarded, in spite of their achievements, as a side whose greatness must lie in the future. Had it been possible to mark any decided progress in the two matches which followed their defent of Wales, their reputation need not have been held in the sus pended judgment which is, in fact,

necessary.

As far as it is possible to form any opinion, in view of the rare interchanges of visits between the club of the two countries concern- ed, it is probable that the standard of play of the best Scottish clubs is just a little higher than that of the best English clubs. In ventur- ing this opinion, I an influenced by the slightly better condition in which the Scots seem to take the field, by the rather better finish in the forward rushes and by the big- ger range of ideas which the backs exploit in planning their attacks.

Mocpherson's Influence.

So far as the last feature is con- cerned there is little doubt that the Suflence of G. P. S. Macpherson, still a potent force in Scottish club mateles, still has its reactions in the national side which has drop- red him. Ian Smith, for so long accustomed to play alongside of him, bas seen to that, and it was aruri iuck on Smith that he was Jamed last Saturday before the team had a chance to prove whether their penetrative power at full strength had developed. The fea tures of Scottist club rugby men- tioned above, played their part in the international matches.

Nevertheless with three great forwards

"old_hands,” J. Brattie, W. B. Welsh, and M. S. Stewart, a scrum-half of an ideal type, a keen young set of backs, Scotland's side, most of them now trably blooded, should set a prob- lem to the other nations in 1933-4. Their greatest weakness has been their liability to fail in set serum- nage work in which they have be- yond question felt the lose of A. W. Walker.

дя

If Scotland experienced an end- ing to their season which came. perilously near pathos, Ireland's graph of hopes and fears develop- ed a jumpy course tyical in char- aeteristics of the Celts of story and stuge. A chilling disillusionment against England was almost for- gotten in the fillin supplied by the surprise win against Wales, but the expectations roused by this feat were baffled by the scoring system subject of many a heated debate by which dropped goals are worth a point more apiece than tries.

PELSHAM, April 28.

T. GILBERT Scott's XI and the West Indice drew in a two-day cricket match.

The home team brought their in-

The game was fought on fairly level terms, but there was a mark ed contrast in style. Kingatonians swung the ball about and often tried long drives at goal and the cross-kick from the right wing. On the other hand, the Steckten team, ospecially the forwards, re- lied on short passen. Kingstonian attacked often in the second half, when, had their forwards kept their

Stockton had a chance when Bro- drick was penalised for carrying, but Prest's Free-kick went into the not direct without touching another player. Preat fell down heavily near goal and had to be carried off suffering from severe concussion and later this. the game became rather tedious.

Wales 0; Scotland 0.

Amateur International Match between Wales and Scotland was drawn, there being no scoring: Scotland were slightly the better side and might have won had it not been for the brilliance of the Welsh defence. As a spectacle the game was rather disappointing but both sets of defenders did extreme ly well to prevent any score. The outstanding players of the match were F. C. Williams, the Welsh left-back and Farlane, whose work at left half for Scotland was fre- juently applauded.

Middlesbrough 3, Arconal 1. Arsenal had to fight hard for their victory at Middlesbrough, and although they ultimately won it was touch and go to the end, They wore outclassed in the first half, but made a great recovery in the second and were loudly ap- plauded by a crowd of nearly 30,000 spectators.

Middlesbrough opened the scor- 1ing after a minites' play, Warren seizing a chance after Moss had 2pushed out a shot from Baxter, Two quick goals by Hulme mabled Arsenal to lead at the interval, He walked the first in but the se- oond was a superb shot from yards out...

Old Merchant Taylors beat Lon- don Irish at Teddington by three goals, three tries to one try. The Irish were the first to score, Coffey boring his way through when à rush was half checked.

Spragg converted put the backs on their racttle and before half-time W.R. Spragg ran over far-out on the right.

Early in the second half, G. S. Barry was tackled on the line and for twenty minutes the Irish kept the Old Boys out, but though the closing stages witnessed a telling Irish attack, the Taylors mean- time had added tries by Thomson, F. F. Spragg and R. G. Turnbull, the last of those being onverted by F. F. Spragg.
