Washington now has smattering
of rugby experts-an expert in the
American sense being any one who
has seen a given sport at least once
and the consensus about rugger, as
we experts" call it, is that it is
fast, exciting game requiring plenty
of stamina, an unnatural desire TO
have one head Dashed in and Sims
skinned and enough lung power to
run up and down field at top speed
for an hour or two.
Apparently these British are an
tempered lot of gentlemen or
else the game never would go over
there. There is plenty of opportu-
nifty for a lot of hidden gouging,
butting, kicking, biting and general
mauling in those scrlmmages-We
experts" call them "scrums s'-and
if the American lads ever tried the
game it probably would end in lot
of individual fights. These Britishers
if accidentally kicked, and lot OF
them are, pass it off with some OF
that sorry, old chap stuff and the
game goes on.
Kick at Anything.
About 1000 spectators, a dlsap-
