Why women go to Rugby Football matches—by a woman. The reason is supplied by the wife of a player in a new book on Rugby, “The Game Goes On.” She divides women who attend Rugby games into three classes —those who love the game, those who love someone playing the game, and those who love someone watching the game. This book is one of the best for years, says an English writer. All the leading writers on Rugby have contributed a chapter, and such personalities as John Daniell, A. D. Stoop, J. E. Manchester, the New Zealand captain, G. V. Stephenson, A. L. Gracie, K. C. Fyfe, W. Woolier, F. D. Prentice, R. W. Harland, T. H. Vile and E. de Lissa, who seldom burst into print, have written articles. Daniell writes on the cares of a selector, and as the only man who has served on both England’s Rugby and cricket’selection committee is well qualified for the job. Stoop’s article on “The Young Idea” should be read by everyone responsible for the coaching of young players. Shrewd judges will agree with Stoop when he declares that C. H. Pillman, the greatest of wing-forwards, attained the ideal at which every footballer should aim. Pillman played with distinction in every position on the field.
