Give us a chance not only to have our loyalty aroused by mass meetings, but let us each gain a personal enthusiasm in the team and every player by getting in closer touch with them at their practices!

As the duke, most excellently played by Bruce McRae, has been of a lively temperament, there is a pretty little French girl...
