FOOTBALL REPORTS
Sir,—Your description of the town team, a disjointed combination, backs a failure and forwards inferior, except that it was not severe enough, meets with-the approval of your correspondents. If I were a country player I would feel deeply insulted, by your suggestion that this team of hacks could hold the country—a team you praise, and I agree with you—to four tries each. However, it appears my knowledge of Rugby is poor. I bow to my superiors. Perhaps they would assist me to understand the game by telling me how these hacks did it. Did the referee play for them, since according to your report they were not capable of doing it on their own?—Yours, etc., CREDIT WHERE DUE. July 3, 1948.
