Millions of
Gallons maturing--
Older and better than ever
Never was your White Horse as good or as old as it is to-day. Years ago, exceptionally heavy stocks of the finest whiskies were laid down to anticipate sales which the quality would justify. These stocks are now fully matured. The result is that WHITE HORSE is now older and better than ever before, excellent as it was In 1932 and preceding years.
This advance in quality and age will be maintained. White Horse is now the equivalent of a fine liqueur.

England May Prefer TATE AND
Another S. African To Play At Back
By Leo Munro
WILL an Englishman play full-back for England this Rugby season? A successor to H. G. Owen-Smith must be found, unless our brilliant South African player decides, after all, to rejoin the fray.
+
That seems unlikely, though Owen-Smith is one of those on- vinbly athletic people who can tune up at short notice.
The position, If vacated, may be hard to all, though one could name a number of useful candidates.
West country folks have a strong fancy for R. A. Gerrard. The former International centre is now installed as Somerset county and Bath club full-back.
Playing well, too, with plenty of resource and dash. A bit uncertain
| perhups, in ground fielding on the Harlequins v. Bath match form. But there is time ahead for practice, and "Gerry" should be well in the run- ning for an English trial, next month..
PREVIOUS "CONVERTS"
It would not be his first as full- back. And, supposing he won an- other cap in a fresh position, he would not be the first "convert" to hold the Just Ine for England in modern times,
I. S. Cumberlege, for example, came out as a scrum-half. I. c. Catcheside, J. C. Hubbard, and R. C. W. Pickles were seasoned three- quarters.
It is possible that Gerrard may be regarded officially as a trifle short of great match experience at full-back.
I should not be surprised if, bar- ring accidenta, South African suc- ceeded Bouth African for England ---11. D. Freakes after Smith.
quality exactly common in recent seasons of International Rugby.
MISSED HIS BLUE
Ha
I mentioned Kemble and luck. did not have a lot of that when he was up at Cambridge.
He received there the testimonials of being played at stand-off in this match, at centre in that. But he was
not "settled in." He was a candidate for a "blue" two years running, ming- ed it narrowly last season,
Now, as a Harlequin, he con- tinues to obilge anywhere in mid- fleld when required.
There are people who maintain that Kemble would develop top-class as a stand-off if allowed to concentrate on that position.
REFEREE CONTRASTS Players are held responsible for the success or otherwise of Rugby under
is revised laws. Much more pends, in my opinion, on referees.
And still more depends on the per- sonniity of the referee. One man seldom stops a game, another seems to be whisiting all afternoon.
I have seen both types this sea- Bon, and I
I know which is preferred by players. He is the good fellow who keeps firm control, but "trusts the troops," and does not neces- sarily pull them up for every petty Irregularity.
His is usually ♫ good-humoured contrast. the match. We have, in
he-of-the-busy Owen- stickler,
whistle, whose activities leave onlookers won- dering do players irritate referees, or do referees irritate players?
I wonder if Harlequin centre W. S. Kemble will have any luck in repre- sentative Rugby this season.
He can play elther at centre or stand-off, and knows how to run straight. You would not call this

"EXPRESSED HIS THANKS" chairman says:
Commenting on that interview, the
"There was no possible misunder- standing and Tate, who left the room in a state of emotion, expressed his thanks for my timely informa- tion."
The chairman having urged, in a

The chairman adds thut Sussex owed much to Tate, but that he, too, brought him out and always owed something to the county which treated him with the greatest consideration.
A SECRETARIAL LETTER In n statement yesterday Tate, whose agreement expires next April, remembers the Interview to which the Sussex chairman alludes, but, reiterates that more than one mem- ber of the committee Inter assured him that he would be all right for another year.
Tate also referred to a letter re-

Records reveal that Glamorgan have the lowest season-ticket mem- bership among County Clubs. And some of these clubs have had much at poorer playing results than Glamor.
The club intends to make a push
to Increase the membership, and if they do not succeed the committee may have to consider some way of culling their losses.
This could only mean one thing, the withdrawal of the club from the County Championship.
