8, THE OBSERVER, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1945 St. Mary's Rugby Win CORRESPONDENTS Cambridge Golfers Win By R. C. Robertson-Glasgow (CAMBRIDGE beat Oxford by seven matches to two in a six-a-side golf match by foursomes and singles over the Southfleld course at Oxford yesterday. At no point in the play did it seem, even to the giddiest partisan, that the result would be otherwise.

The golfer of the day David Leggett, who captained and played top for Cambridge. His play was crisp and long, and rarely did he wander from the line. Cambridge won all three foursomes in the morning. In the top match, Leggett and Wilson were too strong for Fraser and Horden. Leggett, a scratch player from Denham, played very finely throughout, and from the moment that Wilson, a Scot, nurtured on Turnhouse, opened the greyish day with a cracking drive.

I felt that Oxford were taking on something pretty tough. Horden needed to be at his best, which can be very good, but he never quite found the rhythm of his long game. Oxford Break Cambridge stood three up after the fifth, where Leggett played a fine spoon shot through the green. Oxford won back two holes, Horden and Fraser holing a good putt each. Oxford rather wilfully threw away the short eight, then saved the ninth, where Horden holed a long steal." Then Oxford broke down.

Two mildly indescribable sixes lost them the long tenth and Carnoustian eleventh. A Ave, which "hadn't ought to have been." cost them the short twelfth, and Leggett won the match with a mashie shot of conclusive accuracy. In the second match Cooper and Shutter, of Cambridge, stood four up after 12 holes. As they walked victorious from the 14th green, an Oxford member of the third pair topped his drive from the tee. An Oxford hook of grandiose width, from the 15th tee, completed their unhappy morning.

A Delayed Blow After lunch Cambridge won the singles by 4 matches to 2. In the top match Fraser, the Oxford captain, was one up on Leggett after three holes. But thereafter Leggett, without threatening any record, drew inexorably away, and finished his man at the 13th with almost as good a mashie shot as he had played there in the mornine.

It benefits soil texture and "crumb it makes- heavy soil easier to work and drain it gives body to light soils, enabling them to retain moisture it creates conditions favourable to the existence and multiplication of highly beneficial micro-organisms. Farmyard manure contains nitrogen, phosphates and potash, but only in small quantities while fertilizers are very rich in these plant foods. Thus muck and fertilizers are both needed for maximum food production. Racing Public And The Facts By Oar Special Correspondent The Duke of Norfolk set a precedent at the recent Windsor meeting thai might well be He gave an oft-1 he-record talk to the racing Pressmen present in his capacity as Senior Steward of the National Hunt Committee.

He said he not think we should be kept in the dark, and it would prevent any wrong impressions getting abroad if he told the true facts. That ia something which, in my ex- fsnence, has never happened before put forward a suggestion when giving evidence before the Racecourse Reorganisation Committee that it would be to the advantage of all concerned If a liaison officer was appointed to act in con unction with Messrs, Weatherby and the Press The committee did not recommend any extension of the present system, although they said that information should be issued at the earliest possible moment. It is seldom that any information is passed on. and. as in many other respects, tradition dies hard in Turf officialdom Jr'racucally every other Dody which controls sport realises the value of publicity, and the P.R.O.

system has grown extensively during the war In his capacity of Parliamentary Under-Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture the Duke of Norfolk has gained considerable experience of executive work, and his helpful attitude was much appreciated. We jnay one day. anticipate him being appointed a steward of the Jockey Club, and I am sure that in his final year of office as Senior Steward he will give full play to his up-to-date ideas. Every racecourse in the United States has its own publicity representative and they are practically all drawn from the ranks of racing reporters. Some of them have even reached the higher planes of racing officialdom and have held the positions with credit and ability The position, of course, is entirely different in America, where there is no ruling body to control the whole of the racing in the various States.

That makes for keen competition, but few people would like to see it adopted in this country. All those intimately connected with racing are strong supporters of the Jockey Club, but there are many who would like to see a closer union between that body and the general run of owners.

Guy's recovered from this shock, and D.

Rescue craft soon. arrived, but McRae was not seen again. To all games, including life. Peter McRae had the" easy approach of the all-rounder. Coming from Christ's Hospital to St.

Mary's, he early made a name, as a Rugby centre-three-quarter, and was a member of the St. Mary's team when they won the Hospitals Cup for six consecutive seasons. Sure of hand, and a strong tackier, he had an acute sense in attack and a baffling swerve. He played in one International Trial match, and would surely have won his England cap but for injury. Considering how often he was ill at school and later, it was remarkable that he should have played Rugby at all.

At cricket he played for Somerset, for whom he was qualified by residence He was worth 30 or 40 runs before he ever took guard, being a PALM COURT HOTEL SEA FRONT TORQUAY PHONE: TORQUAY 21 B7 The BEACON HOTEL CROWBOROUQH.

London. S.W.I. Anyone can make a delicious, light omelette with dried eggs provided they follow the directions carefully. The main reasons for failure are: (1) using too much dried egg for the amount of water; (2) not reconstitut- ing the eggs carefully, and (3) not' having the fat hot enough when you pour the eggs into the pan. Follow these three rules carefully and you'll find yourself making omelettes like an expert.

1 Measure The correct nroai)Awfcahvoie lerel tWf) Clf wter. In tfcre Jhat you set ttm amMmttatc ublo- knife. In 2 First beat out 'with a spoon against the side of the basin or rub the dried egg the lingers. Get the egg powder as free from lumps as possible before you begin. Add half the water first and mix carefully to an absolutely smooth paste.

You should get out aH the lumps at etui of ficticious egg this stage. Beat well. Then add tho rest of the water and beat again. 3 Cook quickly For two or three people, five eggs cooked in an average- sized pan makes an omelette of the right thickness. Don't use a pan too big for the amount of eggs, or your omelette will be thin and hard.

When the eggs are reconstituted, add seasoning and beat well. 'Meanwhile, have about three-quarters of an ounce fat (dripping, lard or bacon fat) heating In the pan. Let it get really hot. Pour in eggs quickly. As they cook, lift edges from the side of the pan with a knife and tilt pan to let the liquid egg run under.

When all is just setting in about a minute fold over on to a hot plate. A packet of 12 dried eggs costs out? 13. diHe trith dried eggs I OSUKO THE UDHSTtV OP FOOD.
