While an aroused codger made news by bopping a detractor of the Queen (see FOREIGN NEWS) because, he said, Prince Philip was in no position to thrash the bounder himself, the prince collected a few headlines on his own. At Arundel Castle in Sussex, he captained a cricket team during a charity match, let a hot liner bounce off his chest for what the Americans would call an error, saw his players fight to a draw with the Duke of Norfolk's team.

One crusty old codger on a shooting stick spoke up for all of Scotland: "Hogan talks a bloody lot about the greens and a bloody lot about his putter; he should put the two together and shut...
