BRITISH RUGBY FOOTBALL

REVIEW OF THE SEASON 1932-33

(Special Air-Mail Service)

LONDON, May 2 Scotland's three victories with a team that had eight new men in it and the fine form shown by The Army in the Services tournament and the first success of Hampshire in the County Championship were the main features of representative Rugby Football in the season just endid. In club football, for the Universities, as usual, have to be included, there was the timely vic- tory for Oxford over Cambridge and the no less timely return to emin ence of Blackheath. Around these four achievements and that of the Barbarians in winning each of their six matches could be written a favourable estimate of play in the last seven months and a hopeful forecast of the football that is likely to be played when cricket has com pleted its comparatively short in- nings.

Wales, for their part, went to pieces after this defeat. Unable to and any experienced centre to show the way to young Wooller, the Welsh discovery of the year, as the great Gwyn Nicholls once had shown it to R. T. Gabe, the Welsh selectors made the unpardonable mistake of moving a young player out to the wing against Ireland at Belfast. Wooller subsequently had a chance to show his true worth, or at any rate his true promise, in big football when assisting the "Bar barians against East Midlands, and but for his intense desire to assist his own club of Sale in their Easter tour might well have shared in the South Barbarians triumphs in
