MECCANO REVEALS THE SECRETS OF ENGINEERING.

Every boy would like to learn the secrets of the men who built the Elffel Tower, the skyscrapers of the United States, the Farth Bridge, the great Harbour Bridge at Sydney, and the many other great engineer ing wonders of the warld, Meccano makes this possible. With n Meccano Outfit a boy can build his own bridges, towers, machines and mechanisms of all kinds, and learn the secret of each one as bullds. There is no difaulty in Meccano model-buliding. The Manual of Instruction show the way and, once started, boys go ahend with enthusiasm, never tiring of this splendid hobby because there is always something new to tackle, When all the mod:la foscribed in the Manuals have been bullt, keen boys proceed to build additional modsis designed on their own original Ideas and thus they become real invertors. Meccano is the most fascinating hobby in the world.

DETERIORATION

OVER-SPECIALIZATION OF FORWARD PLAY

CAUSES BAD SCRUMMAGING

AND "FEET UP"

INTERNATIONAL BOARD'S

CIRCULAR

THAT the practice of "Feet Up" and unecessarily severe throwing of the ball into the scrummage

is becoming a prevailing and diquieting feature of Home. side rugby is indicated in a circular issued by the Inter-- national Rugby Board, which draws the attention of clubs to these offences and at the same time observes that the probable cause for these infringements of the game which tend to lower the standard of play is over- specialization by forwards,

A local correspondent "Rugger," says that he has never heard this circular being discussed among local players, and he feels sure that its publication will bring about a much fruitful dis- cussion and keep Hongkong rugby footballers abreast of Homeside rulings.

The Telegraph welcomes the op- portunity of airing this important subject by the reproduction of the circuir, and also invites corres- poauenta who are interested, to contribute their views,
