This season there were three teams in the series as the Swedish team desired to parti- cfpate but with the fiasco of a couple of weeks ago the Swedish players refused to take part in the
 series and the committee were com peIled to bring forward their Eng land-Scotland game instead. In one l international game played three sea sons ago between the teams the
 game was of such a vigorous nature
 that three players were seriously in- jured and were out of the game for
 the rest of that season. This was
 the season when there were the
