I mean, your applause, proves me to be an importtant patch in the scat of Government.... This outpost this julep of the Empire's far-flung bottle-line ( frenzied and prolonged cheering) .... er—that is to say, some outlaws have described Rugby as a crazy game. Let us nail the lie direct by annihilating the vicious canard Rugby is not a crazy game it is a sensible game surrounded by crazy people. ( Thunderous acclamation) “To you who play this glorious game, I have two words of advice. ‘Be game'— but not anybody's, and even if Britannia rules the waves she will not waive the rules. Hence the Bottle Cry of Freedom known as ‘Time, Gentlemen, Please.' “In conclusion, remember the line umpire's definition that ‘a straight line is the shortest distance between two pints', and that in the Rugby Scrum between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. position is worth 9 pints of the law. Never launch a counter attack, but always attack the counter lunch, and if in between Civic Receptions you manage to play a few games and enjoy a few noggins of Tiger’s Milk, you will have contributed a glorious page to the history of the 'Empire' and every other Welcome Inn." vvV \A , U.I , l l I-/, n i sun if iicrii' 111 moors b JOHN REID A CO.
