Rugby practice, for which over sixty men turned out last week, is now somewhat handicapped by the lack of a place in which to play. At present the sessions are being held underneath the stadium, but it is expected that as soon as a week of warm weather has passed, the outdoor fields will be in good enough condition to start intramural games going.

It would be libelous to suggest that Edward Tinker has mobile lips, like a mule's, a wiggling weather-beaten nose, and so little knowledge of how to behave that he would annoy his fellow passengers on a transatlantic liner by hooting low ballads in the ship's bar and chuckling at their mal de mer.
