Sandown Park-- New Style

... COR the first time, we believe, Rugby football was played on Sandown Park racecourse this was last Saturday, when London University Vandals beat a Royal Artillery side by 2 tries (6 points) to nothing. The R.A. XV had been collected by Dr. Rees Davies, the medical officer, and he ably captained the side from stand-off half. Jenkins, full back, Rees Davies and Marshall were the pick of the R.A. ...

An Army XV Beat Rosslyn Park

... AN Army XV and Rosslyn Park had a rattling good game at Richmond last Saturday, the Army winning by 29 points to 19.

P.C. Cox

... WJ. COX, the Wimbledon Park golf professional, makes a very jolly policeman when you are on the right side of the Law. Like quite a number of our other leading professional golfers, he has joined the Police War Reserve, and is lucky enough to be on the beat not too far from his home, so, when off duty, he can play a few holes on his own course. Cox, besides looking the part, should be able to ...

For fifteen years he has been huntsman to the ...

... Another £400 for the Red Cross Cotton and Adams at Killermont HENRY COTTON is continuing his good work for the British Red Cross, and his trip to Scotland last week-end at his own expense brought another £400 to the Red Cross funds.

An Afternoon with the Navy

... By B. Bennison THE gymnasium was bright with colours. In it some three thousand sailors sat and stood around. They laughed and quipped and cracked, and sang with gusto, as a full- throated, deepc-chested choir, swinging the while, now the songs of the barracks, so that we lived anew with Kipling; again, Lily of Laguna, and 'Gene Stratton was back with us to start feet a tapping, even my own, ...

Catering for Two Generations

... By Ashley Courtenay TO use the word solidity in relation to an hotel is a mark in its favour in these days of air raid precautions. Although I feel that St. Leonards is about the last place that the enemy would wish to waste bombs on, there is at the same time that satisfactory feeling that when one stays at the Royal Victoria Hotel, St. Leonards, one is in a building in which the walls are ...

Playing Your Pet Shot to Death

... WHEN writing golf articles, it is easy to fall into the habit of preaching; advising players not to lose their tempers, telling them to play with their heads, to think out every shot very care fully, and so on. What I am commenting on in this article comes near to being a sermon, but I hope just' misses. It is about using your pet shot to death. We all have been guilty of this, though our ...
