THE ONLY GAME NOW.
"THEY'RE IN OUR TWENTY-FIVE." FOOTBALLER'S STIRRING APPEALSydney, Nov. 19. The secretary of the Rugby Union has received a letter from Dr. Moral), who captained the Wallaby team which toured Britain, and who is now convalescing after service in Gallipoli, embodying a characteristic footballer's appeal. "You must all come, if you want to win th.o war, every man of you. Slackers and shirkers merit only the noose or the rope. It is the only game worth playing now. They are in our twenty-five; send us men, men, men, more men. It is the best game in history. There, are no rules and the only referee is posterity, -and his whistle cannot Ibe heard yet. They're in our twenty-five at present, but when we heel out our ammunition more cleanly we shall move forward. Meanwhile we want men of the Anzac breed.".
