INJURY AT RUGBY
RETIREMENT OF P. C. MINNS When playing as right-wing threequarter for the Blackheath Rugby Club, in London recently, P. C. Minns broke a bone in his foot. The former Rhodes Scholar and Auckland Rugby Union representative had been showing line form for Blackheath since he returned to England from Wellington last year. Now it is reported that he has decided to give up playing Rugby. In any case, ho will not have many more opportunities, even if his injury mends quickly. Minns has been appointed to the Civil Service in Uganda, although he will not go there for some time, as he is first acquiring some knowledge of the Swahili tongue.
