Oxford were leading by 5 goals to 4 late in the game then in ...

... BY DIANA More and more people are playing backgammon, so take your own board away for the week-end, or on a cruise. Lillywhites, of Piccadilly Circus and Knightsbridge, have this one covered in light, striped canvas. Poker players will appreciate the simple but ingenious idea shown on the left, from Lillywhites.

... A Shock for England Ireland Win a Great Victor at Twickenham IRELAND, magnificently aided by their pack of one hooker and seven wingers, beat England by the only goal of the match at Twickenham last Saturday. To the Rugby purist who was hoping that the wonderful conditions would bring out a display of open football, the match was, perhaps, disappointing, though even he could hardly fail to ...

... K. C.S.Wimbledon v. Eton J HE value of a first-class kick as a match- winning factor was emphasised in the schools match between K.C.S., Wimbledon, and Eton. The score was 14 points to 3 in Eton's favour, but without M. B. Henderson's kicking the margin would have been only 6 to 3.

Anyhow, the day proved a most unlucky one. Papworth, Pedine Rough, and North Meadow ...

... IN Scotland recently I played with a keen low handicap golfer, who has just about the shortest back- swing in the game. He has been trying for years to get his back-swing longer, but has failed, for if he makes his swing longer he cannot look at the ball at the same time.
